Ok, so we normally eat here during the holiday event, but this was our first time trying the regular menu. The chicken fried steak was the best I've had in absolutely forever. Crispy, juicy, and the gravy was fantastic. Definitely stop in if you're craving some amazing home cooking.

The staff was wonderful, the aesthetic was beautiful, and the band on the porch was also lovely. The food was worse than school food. No flavor, driest piece of pork of the whole loin, and im not sure how those sweet potatoes got that consistency. I'm hoping it was an off day because I show other very positive reviews but I would say if they have a limited menu stay away.

We went to Washington state park in SW Arkansas for a day trip. We noticed the Tavern across the street from the Visitor Center. So, after a long morning of touring old homestead, we stopped in for a late lunch. And earlier couple had said to get the Chicken Fried steak, and so we did. we shared it along with fried Squash and mashed potatoes with gravy. Maria brought us jalapeno, cornbread to have with our meal and it was good. But for me, the best part was the chicken fried steak, which was huge and the fried.Squash. don't forget to get the peach cobbler, if there is any left. It was a nice surprise on a State Park we had never visited before.

This is an Arkansas state park run restaurant. The cook here is an excellent cook. I cannot brag upon her enough. And our waitress was really friendly and courteous and on top of serving us. We had the special for the day. Which was chicken and dressing sweet potatoes and corn. And they also brought out the most fantastic tasting dinner rolls and cornbread All the food was very delicious And I wish I had the recipe for there dinner rolls they were fantastic I can not say enough good things about this place it was top-notch. Highly recommended

A classic restaurant serving lower Arkansas food. This is one of the best places to get a plate lunch anywhere in the county.

In the past this place had excellent food, but we were greatly disappointed when we met up with family from across the state. I ordered the chicken fried steak, with gravy on the side. The steak was overcooked, but the gravy was horrific. It was full of sugar! When I questioned the waitress, she said they always made their gravy with sugar! I've lived in the south all my life and made tons of gravy, ordered tons of gravy, and not ONCE have I ever had or made white gravy with sugar! I'm not saying there's not a recipe out there somewhere with sugar, I just have NEVER had any. It was awful, and what about unsuspecting diabetics? Then we ordered cobbler which we've ordered and loved many times in the past. Expecting at least it to be good, considering the price of $7.00, we were dumbfounded when we were brought about three tablespoons of cobbler with most of it a very thick, stale tasting crust, and less than a half small scoop of ice cream. While the waitress was efficient, she was not very friendly, but seemed overly stressed, dismissing our concerns we voiced. We didn't want to upset her further, and we were celebrating a birthday and wanted to remain upbeat, so we didn't complain. Instead I'm sharing our opinion here. I wish them well, and would only hope they can return to the marvelous cooks they used to have in the past. As for now, unless we hear things have changed, we won't be back.

we stopped here and thought the buffet would be good, the pork chops were good, the other items either did not have much taste or was very very salty, for the price it was not worth it
Very consistent good experience. Good Southern food.

This is the main attraction here . Some of the best food I ate . And some fine southern food around . The lunch special is always the best choice. And the customer service and food both was the best , first class . And your eating at a place been open 4 years before Arkansas was even a state . If these walls could talk the stories they tell . So always stop in for some good food and gifts shop and really awsome place to be in .
Parking: Plenty . No line . Come on in
Kid-friendliness: Great for the entire family .

Some of the best food we have gotten at a restaurant anywhere in America!!! The sides spot on perfect, the chicken excellent, the ribs were good (not the best but good), the hamburger legit, and the peach cobbler was put of this world. All of it tasted like they make it in house. So worth checking out.

Stop in during the Festival and had a bite to eat. Didn't make it in time for the buffet. The hamburger were wonderful nice to know some place still use real meat. Will definitely try and come back next time we are in the area.
