“Very friendly service and the food can’t be beat! Sauce so good you can buy it and take home! Looking for a reason to come back to Searcy ASAP!!!!!”
“The garlic knots were excellent; the entire staff was very friendly and efficient. I had the Shrimp Alfredo, the shrimp had the tails on it, which I do not care for in a sauce, and it tasted like they used flour for a thickener. Music was a tad on the loud side.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely delicious! We had such a great experience at Whilma’s Filipino Restaurant! The food was incredible—authentic, flavorful, and made with so much love. Every dish tasted like a warm hug from home. The lumpia was perfectly crispy, the adobo was tender and rich, and the halo-halo was the perfect sweet ending. We also really enjoyed the new location—spacious, clean, and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Filipino comfort food!”
“Never had a bad meal here and the bartenders are always on point.”

“A friend and I just finished a coffee tasting at Midnight Oil and it was an amazing experience. They have baristas who are incredibly passionate about what they do and are very knowledgeable. It was organized, informational, and very tasty. Will for sure go again.”

“We found this place on a whim after visiting a doctor’s office near by, and I am so glad we did! I haven’t stopped thinking about it! The welcoming atmosphere, the delicious ice coffee, and their merchandise selection was what made this a 10/10 for me! Will come back next time we are visiting from Missouri!”

“We were in town to watch our daughter's collegiate softball team play Harding and stopped in for a late lunch. Unfortunately, we missed the awesome lunch deal by about 15 minutes, but the prices were still very reasonable and the food was AMAZING! The seasoning on the fries was just the right amount, the pickles were thick and crunchy, the brisket burger was so tender it just fell apart with each bite, and the apple pecan pie was hot and made to order. Plus they had Christian music playing on the speakers. ❤️ We will definitely be back if we're ever in the area again.”

“The young man that was helping me realized he had bread to take care of waited for him to do his job he apologized and thanked me for being patient said no son I love your work ethic he wasn't sure how to take that but he was by himself said his other workers were on a break and he had 4 people lined up but did his job I was empressed by him that's what we need he needs to be promoted or at least given a raise”
“First time eating here & I'll go back next time I'm at Searcy. It can be a problem finding good vegetarian fare when you don't know the area but I noticed this on line & decided to try it. There was a modest variety of veggies but I don't remember seeing any pea pods or cabbage or celery; there were three or four types of noodles. Sorry I can't address the meat/seafood section as I never notice it. My selections were quickly grilled & served but I didn't notice much influence of the sauce I chose, however the meal was tasty. Service was great & the family atmosphere was relaxed. Prices were reasonable which really helps these days & the serving size was satisfying. All in all a nice supper.”
“We took our family here for catfish and BBQ. The catfish was cooked perfectly...nice crunch and not greasy. The mustard potato salad was very good! They also were so attentive to our party of 8 including a toddler.”

“I was traveling through Searcy yesterday and wanted to try a local coffee shop. The service was fast and my coffee was delicious! Not to mention how kind and gracious the staff was. I was welcomed in with a smile and treated like a friend. I was having a rough day but left in a much better mood. I recommend to anyone looking for a great atmosphere and fantastic coffee. Thank you @Rise and Grind for a wonderful experience 😊”
“We stopped in for pizza tonight & ordered the 14” deluxe and a 10” pepperoni, and both pizzas came out in a timely manner; however, upon first bite of a slice of the deluxe, it was discovered that the green peppers and mushrooms were cold & had not been cooked & had just been sprinkled over the top of the cooked pizza with pepperoni, sausage, & black olive (which we added). We picked off all the cold veggies (which was easy to to do because they were just laying on top) & ate the hot pizza. Weird way to solve a problem and a first for us! For future reference, next time leave off the cold veggies. Not sure, we will return. We did tip our server 20% but not sure why we paid full price for the pizza.”
“A true drive-in! My wife, who is a Searcy native says that there has been a drive-in restaurant at this location since some time in the 50’s. She remembers dining here in the 60’s with her family as well as having lunch here when she was in high school in the early 70’s. At that time the establishment was under different ownership. She tells me that Barb has owned the restaurant for many years and the food always is good. I can attest to that! Drive up and eat in your car or make yourself home at one of the picnic tables in nice weather.”
“The flavors that come out of the kitchen are great. service is awesome. Best value in town. Just a good family owned business.”
“l loved the honey chipotle chicken dumplings and fantastic customer service!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is Starbucks on a clege campus. Larger than most. Seating is geared toward gathering and community. Very friendly staff. Menu options are limited. Parking is street parking, so depending on time of day you may not be able to find a spot close to the store. But, there is great walkability from the center of campus..”
“Great service and very good food also, I had the two meats plate with brisket and chicken and it was great… the French fries are amazing and my daughter absolutely loved the Mac and cheese… the kids plate is very generous. I loved that the owner is in the kitchen making sure everything is perfect. I have to add that the service was excellent our server April is very sweet Thank you, we will comeback soon!”
“I hopped off 57 looking for a place to catch the game and saw this place was recommended. I found so much more than I was looking for.
This is a family-owned scratch kitchen with great prices and great service. The chorizo queso was delicious and their wings are phenomenal... Huge, traditional wings with a hot-off-the-grill flavor that tasted amazing. I chose the hottest sauce, Eruption, and it was one of the best super hot flavors I've ever had. Ghost pepper + Carolina Reaper will challenge almost anyone, but these carry a great flavor that burns and lingers. I love it!
The beer was ICE COLD and only costs $3 a pint during happy hour (and all day Sunday.) Best bang for your buck around. Tyler was my bartender and I watched him take care of everyone. This is a place that cares.”
“We visited tonight with a group of 4 and a infant and toddler. The service was great, our server did a wonderful job, and the staff was all very welcoming of the children. Our chef YY did a great job of interacting with our little and keeping him involved in the whole process. Overall a great dining experience!”

“The staff is 💯 % really nice. The food is also great. One thing they should improve is the decoration. It just seems outdated and old. The chairs need to be updated as well. Every time I go in and sit the chairs are a bit squeaky. I suggest to go sit in a booth instead. The bathrooms need some updating. The best thing there is got to be the PEANUT BUTTER CHICKEN. You got to agree on that. Lastly, the overall rating is 4 ⭐️ because of the outdated old furniture. You should definitely check it out.”

“Took the kids in this evening to use up a gift card from my son the boy at the counter was absolutely entertaining to the kids making it one of the best experiences for them. My oldest son had a sensory melt down in the store becoming disruptive several workers gathered to tell me not to clean mess they had it were super sympathetic as well as comforting an understanding. Absolutely amazing team of workers at this location!!”

“First of all, let me say this place is a little pricey, but you are getting a very good sandwich here, this isn't no subway....(most of the subways in this area are awful) Jersey's knows how to do it....the chicken Philly I had was wonderful! Can't wait to try other menu items!”
“This place is great for what it is, a very accessible diner with all meals available all day. Food is good, home cooking style, nothing fancy, but tasty. Large variety, great place to go with an indecisive group, I work nights so it's good to be able to do dinner in the morning after work if I want”
“He frequented Waffle Houses for over 45 years. Some were better than others, but most were good and the food was good. I think they get a bad reputation from people as more of a joke than in reality. Most people actually admit they like the food.
As for this location on Beebe-Capps in Searcy… this is one of the nicer stores that I have visited… and the food is top notch. Their omelettes rival and many times exceed those you get in high end restaurants. My new favorite go to is the Double bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on grilled Texas toast. The staff here are great, the coffee hot and tasty! I recommend this place highly!”
“The good: the mixed drinks were awesome. The painkiller drink tastes like dessert. The restaurant was clean. The staff were friendly. Everyone that had steak said it was cooked right.prices are good. Everything looked good except the shrimp.
The bad: multiple orders for our group were wrong. The food was either cold or Luke warm. The food was just meh. The payment kiosk made dividing checks impossible.
It was a Wednesday night. We did have a large group but they had been informed we were coming.”
“Great atmosphere with fantastic customer service. My family will be going again and again! Great prices and large portions. Added note: I built my own burger and was able to get an olive burger with feta & Greek sauce!!! Bo, them is good eats!!”
