Here’s what I’d say: atmosphere was immaculate. Cajun fries were yummy. I wish the burger was seasoned. Overall, it was a great time.

Stopped by for lunch, I would say the best burgers in town! I got the double-cheeseburger and it came out within minutes of waiting. It was filled with flavor and made fresh. Service was great and very polite. However the booths could use a little cleanup.

$18 for three little mediocre milk shakes that tasted like watered down soft serve with a spoonful of chocolate syrup. So $6 each for small, McDonalds-grade shakes. At this price point, I expect a decent shake made with real ice cream and real toppings. What a rip-off. Reviewers that think this place is “good” have no taste and have probably never even left Arkansas in their entire life.

It’s the hometown gem you hope to find when driving in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas.

The food is good. The ice cream is wonderful. The entire experience would have been better if this grown man hadn’t been yelling across the room about random stuff to kids at 4 tables. The kids were a little rambunctious but that is kids…the grown man, however, should know better.

Awesome stop for an ice cream cone. The little girl with us dropped the ice cream off her cone and when we tried to buy another one, they gave it to her. Very nice of them. Always a good stopping point.

We finally got the chance to stop in for lunch. I think we were the first customers of the day. We got burgers, fried mushrooms, and chicken strips…Very good food! Employees were young but very very nice, which says a good bit about the community. We will 100% be back to try some ice cream!

A little disappointed after reading all their reviews guess I had higher expectations. I got a cheeseburger, my husband got a double cheeseburger and we shared a large order of Cajun fries. The beef patties are frozen press formed and taste like soy. I could barely eat the burger. The Cajun fries were just frozen packaged fries, not really sure what makes them Cajun. On a positive note, I absolutely loved the butterscotch shake!
