“What a great small town eatery, local staff that you can see have such a great relationship with their customers! Everyone knows everyone and even if it's your first time here, there's such an air of familiarity that you can't help but feel welcome and at home with a warmth and sense of belonging. The food was great, and I still have many more menu items I'm anticipating to try very soon! The bar and the decor give it such a "back home" feel and the warmth and kindness of the staff really pull together in what is truly a great experience that I will personally be enjoying again and again!”
“What can I say that so many others haven't already said? The food is great, the atmosphere is so familiar, friendly and warm, and the staff are friendly as can be! They always have a good sized bustling crowd come in every day for a good meal and everyone is always chatting with everyone. There's something incredible to say about an eatery that makes sure nobody feels like a stranger! This wonderful drive in has been around for a very long time and here's to hoping it stays around for a long time to come!”
“Antwan got their feelings hurt so they had to say lies. I've been going here forever and never once did I get a hair in my food nor have I ever seen any bug. And the only time I got sick was because I didn't stop eating.”
“I'm originally from CA and this is by far my favorite food out here in Arkansas. I highly recommend the food because it was fresh and hot! Not great customer service just in the sense that when we requested refills they didn't come as often to provide it but other than that the food is fantastic I would return just for that! ☺️”
“I go here when friends choose the place. Nice space to sit and visit. No hot drink is available in decaf (not even herbal tea). Smoothies are good in the warmer weather. I have only been here for coffee break, so no experience with the lunch menu.”
“There is not a better Burger that I have ever ate! Everything at Mel's diner is amazing! Including the owners who cook and serve you everytime no matter what . And their pancakes are amazing!!! I couldn't find a picture of the pancake but it was bigger than the plate! The sidewinder fries so crispy hot perfect . Fried mushrooms! Plus the price you can't beat! I just thank the Lord that they are close to where I live!! If you live far away it's worth the drive. The only downside is .... They close at 2:00 pm. But how else could they have a life and be the ones that cook for you and serve you every time no matter what. Thank you Mel's diner for amazing food every time we come in and I'd like to think we are frequent flyers for not living in the same town . Sorry this post is so long but this place deserves it!! Yummy ???”
“I love how the staff makes me feel like I'm family when I arrive. Our server even remembers us and is always beaming with a smile, eager to hear the latest news in our lives, which always brightens our day. They notice when we need a refill and ask if ensure we have everything we need to enjoy the experience. Not to mention, the food is homecooked, hand breaded, and never dissapoints. We really enjoy stopping by whenever we're in the area, you should too.”
“Best Jim's around. Staff has been short my past couple of visits but with some patience definitely worth stopping in for a bite. I keep going back for their pizza. I have gone places and seen staff sitting around on their phones doing nothing and they don't do that here.”
“Gabriela's in Prairie Grove served up a fiesta of good food and warm service! My cravings were definitely satisfied, especially by the cheesy, oniony goodness of the enchiladas. They hit the perfect balance of melty cheese, savory filling, and crisp tortillas. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, like Abuela herself whipped it up in the back. The service was equally inviting, with friendly smiles and attentive refills. While the atmosphere might be a bit on the casual side, it adds to the charm of a local gem. If you're looking for authentic Mexican eats and a welcoming vibe, Gabriela's is definitely worth a visit!”
“Great sandwich and customer service. Y'all gotta get some curtains or something. It's 5 pm and I can't even see the sandwich ingredients because of the glare off that glass.”
“Unlike the sonic restaurants in the surrounding areas (ie Farmington, Lincoln, Fayetteville), they have never messed up my order. The food always comes out quickly. Plus the food is always fresh! Best Sonic in the area. Hands down.Vegetarian options: Not many vegetarian options. Would like to see a veggie burger option.”
“I was initially mad about spending 30 minutes in the drive through. However, rather than yell and be mad like the lady in front of me I decided to ask what was going on. Turns out the crazy girl hollering on the way to her truck was a worker just walking out, and they were already short staffed. Context is key people. Despite the challenge, the food was made well and fresh. I originally left a bad review but the service and honesty made me revise that.”
“Fajita chiwawa is the best as well as Gigante burrito. Quality of food is fantastic never go away hungry. They would be 6 stars if they served beer and margaritas but won't ever happen in stinking Lincoln.”
