You have to take a scenic drive to the Cafe but so worth it! Delicious food all made by owner Randy.

We took a drive Saturday looking for Catalpa Cafe. It’s an unassuming place that had great hamburgers and Philly steak sandwich! We topped it off with some good ol coconut crème pie. The owner is friendly and you feel like you just visited family when you leave the place. We had a great Saturday adventure finding him. If you get up that way or even if you go out of your way, find Catalpa Cafe! It won’t disappoint you!

What a great place!!! We had the best cheeseburger I have had in ages!!! Flavorful large beef patty cooked almost crisp for that rich meat flavor. HOMEMADE FRIES! Lots of them!!! The wait staff was so cheerful, back often for refills. Cherry pie hot out of the oven. The atmosphere is down-home, historic building. We drove 90 miles for lunch there - worth the drive.

We loved this place. My cousin and I stopped and had the special which was Street Tacos then a piece of pie each. From now on out I will drive right by the burger joint down the road. This is my new go to.

One man show restaurant in the middle of the forest. He accomodated out group of 16. Got all of our food out at the same time, hot, and no errors. Fantastic
I came here while visiting family in the area. The food was so delicious, I had to go a second time while I was in town. Tried the Rueben, brisket, and burgers and all were fantastic. The pastrami on the Rueben is like none I have had before. The owner Randy is a culinary genius, I will come back every time I am in the area for sure

Every time I am back in Arkansas I make a point of stopping in at Randy’s Catalpa Cafe. I try to bring friends who are amazed that such a talented chef practices his art in this quiet, remote part of the state. The meals Randy prepares are a delight and served with passion and good conversation.Jerry

Fantastic breakfast tacos!!! All of the food was made fresh and used farm fresh eggs. Randy was a really genuine and nice guy. I wish I lived in the area so I could go every day. It's a little off the beaten path but is 100% worth it! Could not recommend enough!

If you are anywhere near this place and looking to eat well, come here. We are visiting from the Midwest for a week and this was our favorite meal. Great roasted chicken, smoked pork tacos, fried okra, corn bread, and key lime pie. Almost took home a second meal for dinner....Great ambiance and conversation. Highly recommend not missing this meal. Wish we could have eaten more!!!

Had a great buffet meal here today for Sunday lunch/brunch. Unique place with great food. I would highly recommend if you’re in the area. Meatloaf and the cheese grits were on point. I Will return.
