15 Best American Restaurants in Mountain Home

“The new pork sandwiches are amazing. I hear the catfish is really good, too, but every time I go to try it, I just end up ordering the pork! it is really that good!“

“We brought our dog to Mt Home for some socialization training (he's in service dog school). We found BF on Google as an outdoor venue, but the outdoor area was closed. So, they opened it for us. In fact, not only were they VERY sweet and the service excellent, but Cali went the extra mile - even asking about seasoning on Scout's burger patty, because they season with garlic. I'm BIG on customer service - and I was wow'd by Back Forty! My food was very good, too - icing on the cake!“

“Food nor service ever get's any better than here. The food was second to none, I can honestly say 5 star all the way.“

“My wife and I ate at Jamie's today. We had a most delicious tenderloin. It was one of the best I have had in a long time. They call it Bigger Than a Bun Tenderloin. It would take 4 buns to hold that delicious piece of meat. Then we at a piece of White and Dark Chocolate Cheese Cake drizzled in raspberry syrup. It was simply a delicious meal served by an extremely pleasant and attentive staff.“

“MARLEY IS THE BEST, AS WELL AS THE WHOLE STAFF🥊💜FOOD, OF COURSE IS AWESOME, BUT BEFORE U STOP, STOP AT "OLE MILL", "KARLIE", FOR BEST SOUP IN TOWN👍👌💜🇺🇲“

“Really good food. Not spicy (hot)enough, but they'll give you extra chili if you ask for it. No too comfortable with all the Indian and Nepali God's on the walls.“

“Great food and great people.“

“Tried for first time. Good ice cream“

“It was about 9:04pm when my son and I made it to the establishment - (on ladies night) which we are not familiar with.

On arrival we wished to eat in the restaurant, but the waitress was not happy about it. My son is 13yo going on 22. When asking to be seated The waitress rolled her eyes looked at a sign that said (no children after 10pm) looked at the bar clock then at her watch then at us.

It was a very akward and unsettling experience, as we are from out of state, we did not know the rules and it was 9:04pm or 8:04pm mst. We had just driven from Kansas to Missouri then down to Mountian Home Arkansas. Being in a car for 14 hours and choosing what was named the best food in Mountian Home AR. (Apparently not the best service)

A simple “ how ya doing” hand us menus and kindly say “ we usually don’t allow children in here after 10pm, where ya’ll from?” Listen to our story and allow us to made a decision to stay or go. Without an attitude.

After observing the establishment I saw the sign and time and kindly suggested we will be taking the food to go since it was 45min till 10pm when she came to take our order. At that point she became enthralled that we would not be there after 10pm and began treating us with kindness.

I usually tip $25 + when staying at a restaurant. Sometimes $100 if the food is out of this world. Let’s just say she missed out on that $100 tip if we stayed.

The food took about 20 min to reach us. A very professional amount of time.

And let me tell you that what we ordered (hand breaded chicken strips and a Philly cheesesteak) was the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. And I’m over 40yo that’s says something for this restaurant. Simply amazing with fresh and a perfect selection of ingredients. I was blown away, speechless, and every bite till the end was heavenly.

My son also commented that it was the best chicken strips and FF he’s ever had. And he’s eaten at around 120 different places in his 13 years. So you know it has to be the best, hands down. 10 out of 10.

The Togo packaging was perfect and bagging was perfect.

Also the cheese you get with the Philly is a buttery, cheesy blend that also pairs with the chicken fingers perfectly.

I will return to this establishment in the future, even with one of the most difficult and awkward situations I’ve ever experienced with a server. I’d gladly take the passive aggressive behavior to indulge in the most delicious and intoxicating food I’ve ever eaten. My hope is to stay and enjoy the full experience on my next pass through of Mountian home AR.

The atmosphere is a bar 100% from where we were seated. In the worst table of the whole joint. Next to bathrooms and by the front door

However the tables and identity of the Resturant was inviting and casual. I really did enjoy the people surrounding me and it was not very loud at all.

My 5 star review is based solely on the amazing food, from the kitchen. ! If they make less than $17 an hour. The manager needs to give them a raise, that menu in my state would be doubled and so would that $17 an hour mentioned for the chef. Whomever curated it needs a Michelin star.“

“IMHO this is right at the top of the list. The best Chili Relleno I have eaten since moving to Missouri from Arizona. The service is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm just sorry I can only eat there about once a month. My only complaint is the beans which are a bit runny. But that is only my opinion. The rice is some of the best I have eaten, while the food has the right amount of heat for me, not too spicy with good flavor.“

“Staff is like family, as friendly as you are. Food is good. Relatively famous. Location is easy to find. Ample parking. Seating is a shade cosy, all chairs, no booths. Easy to befriend fellow diners, or bring a party and combine tables. Specialties: Catfish, tomato relish, hush puppies, B&G. Table(art) feature a map of the local lakes, fish specie, some ads. Other aesthetics change seasonally.“

“We always come to Chili’s when we are in town. Staff is friendly and food is good. Everyone can find something to eat from the menu. Atmosphere is laid back and family friendly. They are also open later than other restaurants in the area which is a plus.“

“We just attended a meeting in the big room at Ole Mill Tavern. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and everything was wonderful.“

“Love the breakfast, it was homemade cooking, and the atmosphere was friendly, a little bit of a wait to make your order but that is understandable becasue it was busy. The food came hot and the was a plus for us. I would definitely have breakfast here again if I pass that way ?“

“Stopped in tonight for my birthday dinner. Parking lot was packed. Waited less than 10 mins for a table while others were assumably waiting for much longer. Jay was our server. Super nice friendly guy and very attentive. Got our food and ate in less than 45 mins even though other tables were waiting much longer. Bill was only $50 and Jay deserved the $20 tip. Thanks for the wonderful experience and service.“
