Restaurants in Van Buren

“Food was tasty, tender, satisfying and yummy. Service was very good, always on spot and friendly. Pork chops, shrimp, pork in noodles, was all good. I will go again. Love ya vicki and John.”

“Always looking for a good burger and there are a lot of places in the area to choose from. We finally made it here to The Burger Forge and the only problem I had with it is that I have wasted too much time not coming here before. Fantastic burgers. My wife got the Classic burger and fries and I got the Dragon Breath burger and had Onion Rings. The burgers were messy perfection, everything you want from a burger joint. The Dragons Breath burger was fire! Hot enough to take notice but not so much you don’t taste the rest of your food. The buns were soft and loaded with all the goodies. The burgers were a classic smash burger and very tasty. The fries were fresh cut and there were a lot of them you don’t go away hungry. The onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. What I said as we were leaving is that the food tasted like they cared about making good food and that’s what they did. Don’t loose that passion, we will definitely be back.”

“We ate here for the 1st time today and it’s our favorite bbq place!”

“Can't beat the Friday special of $3 off a large entrée which includes a free kid's meal. I had to try it. I ordered the Crawfish étouffée and the Blackened Shrimp Royale- and both were purely delicious. The big portions and packed flavor make this place 100% worth it for a Friday night family dinner. Now, I've got to try some pasta next time. Y'all about to have me gain 10# 🤪 🤤😋👌🦐🍤🍲”

“Pure disclaimer: I hate writing reviews but I can honestly say I had to for this place. Ark Coffee in Van Buren is hands down the best coffee I’ve found in Arkansas since moving here last year. I actually buy their bags of espresso to use at home because driving there every day just isn’t realistic for me but anytime I’m headed that way, I make it a point to treat myself to an iced white mocha. If I have the time, I prefer to walk in instead of using the drive-thru because I genuinely love the atmosphere. The way the shop is set up, the energy inside — it just feels good to be there. I’m not a patient person at all, but this is one of the few places where I don’t mind waiting. I actually prefer when they take their time making it. It gives me a chance to slow down, enjoy the ambiance, and decompress a little before going back to “adulting.” Also, I’m not sure if he’s the owner or manager, but the guy who’s often working there is incredibly welcoming and customer-oriented. The entire staff is friendly, but he especially makes it a point to check in and socialize with customers. It makes getting coffee feel like more of an experience rather than just a transaction and I really value that. Highly recommend if you care about both quality coffee and the overall vibe of a place.”

“I love love love the drink I had today! It was the pink energizer (forgot the label name) but it was absolutely delicious, it kinda tastes like a pink starburst! Definitely recommend and will definitely be going for more!”

“I had a huge Facebook post looking for the biggest best chicken fried steak in the area, everyone recommended the vault. they have a huge one for a great price. Dairy dips is much smaller, but it taste excellent compared. I'd recommend the chicken fried steak dinner to anyone over the vaults. maybe next time I'll ask for a double order of the chicken fried steak 😂”

“Have always enjoyed their food until they started limiting the amount of salsa that you can have with your meal. Given 2 different excuses by 2 different servers….tomato shortage & cost to make it. We’ll take our business to El Lorito”

“Van Buren Wendy's is awesome. They take pride in making food right! A simple sandwich can make someone's day and they get that ♥️”

“My girls are 7 and 9 they love going and getting mystery drinks lol. The staff is always so nice and welcoming! It is pricey but a good treat on occasion. My girls had to have 2 drinks and cake pops that’s why it was so expensive wnd we got breakfast! They love starbucks! Employees are so nice they just have great management ❤️”

“I enjoyed this experience! The lady was nice who brought my food out. Amanda was nice and patient with me taking my order. Super grateful for patient crew members. I know people have bad days and there are bad experiences at fast food places. We all need patience and compassion for each other. The customers and the crews.”

“Ordered an appetizer and didn't get it until after the main dishes arrived. We ate around 2 so no lunch rush. Food was great. Have zero complaints there. Room was colorful and inviting. Will go back specifically for the food!”

“Pizza is always great , Barbra is the best , but let's talk about the air conditioning. Look3d at your units , seems like they are for a house . Need to put some money into new and stronger units . And plz don't go with its the weather, I know it's hot but other places are able to keep it cool”

“Just happen be passing through and this was one of the closest fast food restaurants around at the moment. Got to say wasn't disappointed, had the smasher burger excellent! Tater tots, and a cherry lemonade. Everything was hot fresh! I was impressed.”
