Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. My fried chicken still had blood in it! Couldn’t get anything else bc server never came back. It appears unless you are a regular, you get ignored. Told the cashier I wasn’t paying for it and he just mumbled something. Horrible customer service at this dive!!!! Even after that, I let my friends talk me into going to give it another chance. No blood but I did get food that wasn’t edible. We left saying none of us would return. Very very bad

I had the fried chicken dinner with grilled squash, fried squash, and mashed potatoes with gravy. While it was good, my biggest compliment was that NOTHING was seasoned. I had to salt everything. The service was great. Our server brought us a sample of the chicken and dumplings that was the daily special...completely free. I will be back the next time I am in Arkansas.

This is where families meet for a breakfast that will stick to your ribs! They have that old school dinner vibe and the Cathead biscuits are amazing.

So good. Real food with real flavor. Wonderful fried chicken, chicken fried steak where the flavor of the beef is the star of the show, REAL mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh flavorful fried okra, yummy brown beans, cornbread how it is meant to be. This is what home-style cooking should taste like - because with good old country cooking, everything must be high quality. You cannot hide poor quality or less than fresh in this style of food -- and this place does it right!

It’s worth the 10-minute drive from the interstate to eat at Neal’s Cafe. It’s one of the good home-cooking places like Wagon Wheel in Greenbrier. I got the Thursday plate special, which is turkey and dressing, with 1 vegetable ($12.99). I got fried okra. It was the closest thing to homemade fried okra that I’ve found at a restaurant in years. The generous portion of turkey and dressing was very good. I was disappointed that they don’t offer sweet potato casserole. They give you a small slice of jellied cranberry sauce, and I asked for more. Oh, they serve the best yeast rolls I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. Yum, yum. They have good sweet tea, and the service is good. It looks like something out of the 60s. Good food and friendly people. Highly recommend. Price is from June 2025, before any tariffs went into effect.

Oh my! What a great BLT! It’s called ā€œ Don’s BLTā€ it is not a simple BLT. It comes with a lot of thick and flavorful bacon, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, mayonnaise and toasted bread. Wonderful!!
