Sometimes the service can be a little less than hospitable, but I think it is because they are extremely busy and it takes extra effort to make everything fresh. The food is always excellent, just expect a wait of you want good, fresh food. (The folks that own and run it are super nice, I just think they are overworked!!!).

Welcome to the Chipmunk Cafe in Garvan! It's nestled in the beautiful woods and far exceeds the notion of just novelty park food. The scenery is gorgeous, the food is made with love ...as a chef, you can just tell. The family who runs the chipmunk cafe treat you like family. Sweet people, delicious food, gorgeous view! Very accommodating as well. It's a must stop!

Passing through Arkansas on a roadtrip and this was the best meal we’ve had in the state yet (even above the highly rated ones) the raspberry chicken sandwich and BLT were amazing! George the peacock sat by us and watched us eat and the scenery under the shaded trees near the train was cool and beautiful!

Where to start, the super friendly and accommodating staff. The food was delicious and definitely not your cheap quality overpriced amusement park food. The portions were more than filling,they were happy to help my wife with her food restrictions.

Amazing service and kind conversation! Gluten free options with cooks who care about what you prefer and put love into every dish. Excellent staff and honest explanations to questions. Every restaurant should aspire to this level of customer service and human kindness. We will absolutely be back every chance we get!!!

This food is amazing and home made. Potato soup was awesome! Banana bread spectacular! And the owner was so sweet and even gave us free nachos and cheese. Truly blessed by this place

Stopped by for some coffee & a chicken salad sandwich. A little bit of a wait, but both were really good!
I had really high hopes for this cafe inside Garvan Woodland Gardens from previous reviews. I made it a point during my walk around the gardens to stop here. The young adult at the counter was very short with me. I got the chicken salad sandwich, which was okay but definitely not worth the price. The kettle chips were not appetizing and had to throw them away. I also got a frozen lemonade, which was not very frozen. Would not pay for their food here, recommend bringing your own food or stop somewhere on your way in.

Went to see the Christmas lights and ate here before going thru the lights. We had the Ooey Gooey Burger, the loaded potato soup and bread pudding. Everything was hot and made to perfection for a small outdoor food truck vibe. Great view. Cold outside but food stayed warm. Glad we ate here

The food was surprisingly delicious. I got the Caesar chicken wrap and the watermelon twist. Both very tasty. The price is similar to a sit down lunch place and was more than I wanted to spend for my kids to only eat half but I enjoyed every last bite of mine. The food does take some time so be ok with waiting and enjoy the scenery.

Unfortunately, the price for 2 waters and a soda can .....10$ ...... also, staff was unable to keep their emotional distress to them selfsame and complained about customers and other staff....phone was ringing, and they cussed as if a customer was out of line to complain. I recommend you buy snacks and food prior to visiting the gardens. Gardens are a must see everything we are in the area. What a shame that this Cafe brings the experience down....
