The pot roast tasted like real mediocre pot roast. The “gravy” was instant tasting. Foamy texture. The ramekin sides were probably already prepared and sitting under a heat lamp. The “baked squash” tasted just like the “mashed potatoes”. Were they frozen, instant or just flavored colored foam? It did NOT taste like real food. The rolls were good . The sweet tea was good. The atmosphere was quaint. The cinnamon rolls were decent. I will not dine here ever again though. Service was fast and friendly.

This food is TERRIBLE!!! It tasted like almost everything that was “fresh” tasted like it came out of a can, had been dumped into small bowls and put under a heat lamp for hours. I don’t know what some of these other posters were smoking when they rated this place so highly. If you want awful food, this is the place.

Good local place - we tried pot roast carrots potatoes and fried catfish salad broccoli casserole- everything was good and the price was right. One of my hush puppies was old & inedible but the other 2 were good. The rolls & cinnamon rolls were very good! Overall we were happy with our meals and service was friendly

My little brother recommended we stop by Calico County as we made our way to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we are glad that we did! When we were seated, we were delightfully surprised with cinnamon rolls- not dinner rolls. And the cinnamon rolls were great! I can understand why they sell so many. We started off with fried green tomatoes, and they were just like the ones from my boyfriend's childhood- thin and covered in corn meal. He ordered the bacon burger while I HAD to try the deep fried ribs. To be honest, I was very skeptical that these ribs were going to be good. I thought they were going to be dry and bland, and that they would give me a cholesterol induced heart attack. I was dead wrong. The ribs were not only juicy but were falling right off the bone with how tender they were. There was bbq sauce within the deep fry as well, which was a great surprise. I LOVED how much pepper was in the mashed potatoes(there was a lot). You can never go wrong with fried okra. My boyfriend's burger was good too, but not as phenomenal as the ribs. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in Fort Smith!

Extremely dry ribs. Salad was just a pile of iceberg with croutons and ranch, no carrots or onions or cheese. Roll was hard and flavorless. Even the famous cinnamon rolls were only average.

Looking for a breakfast place on the way yo the Razorback game. The decor is great, people are friendly, they have several options for breakfast on the menu. The cinnamon rolls where a great starter food while you waited on your meal. If in the area will swing by again

Fabulous country style food, great service a definite must when you're in town. My#1 go to place.
Service and atmosphere was fine but the food was not great. Ordered grits that came out like watery soup and my over medium eggs were still very snotty and runny. The cinnamon rolls were amazing but that's about it. A shame because I can see it's potential.

Ever had fried ribs? Neither had I. They were incredibly good.
Great service great atmosphere and great food. The portions are huge and the food is good. The blackened chicken salad did me good for three meals (large size).

Julian was a great server. The cherry limemade (a bit sweet) and the fried ribs were delicious! Never had either and they didn’t disappoint. I would go back for those two things. Good fried green tomatoes and cinnamon rolls. To be honest I didn’t like the turnip greens (too much pepper not enough flavor somehow). The deep fried corn was a bit much, and it didn’t like the fried fish had very much fish in it. Overall it was good and I’d return.
