    I love this place. It reminds me of an old school drive in but indoors. The food is great, they…read moreare always very busy but very fast, and they have plenty of seating. The old school letter menu is awesome. It brings you back to an old school diner / drive in feel even more. I was amazed at the amount of chili and cheese I got on the footlong hot dog. At any of the large chain restaurants, you wouldn't even get enough to barely cover the hot dog, but this was completely covered and the cheese was freshly hand shredded. I definitely recommend this place.

    As the lunch hour began to wane we began to look for options in North Arkansas. Lots of small towns…read morebut Bulldog came up with decent reviews. When we walked in it had all the indicators of a good roadside diner. There were lots of local people who seemed to know one another and the counter staff knew many by name. The burgers and strawberry shortcake came highly recommended. The burgers did not jump out of the menu so I asked and received an enthusiastic response so I ordered a double cheese. We took a seat in the well-worn but clean dining room. It was nearly 100°F outside with humidity in the 80s. The A/C was giving its all and the room was comfortable. Some of the humidity was condensing at the HVAC vents so there were a few drops here and there. Lunch arrived and somehow my double cheese was thinner than the fish sandwich. Upon inspection, it was a hamburger, single, no cheese. I took it back to the counter and they immediately made me another. Back at the table it was again a single. Back to the counter for another patty and some cheese. I checked right out of the kitchen and it was now a single cheeseburger. They turned around and added a patty. Now I had a double burger with a single cheese. It tasted great and another slice of cheese would have been perfect. I still haven't decided who had the off day, the burger guy or me. I dropped a star each time I had to do the "walk" to the counter. All the locals watched both times intently. I do recommend the burger. The staff was wonderful and helpful and worked through. And get the strawberry shortcake. It is delightful. Tip If the burger comes out wrong check the replacement at the counter.

    We had their delicious turkey burgers and the view of the lake was magnificent. All around the…read morerestaurant were beautiful flowering trees.

    I spent the day hyping up this restaurant, to my visiting relatives expecting the same great meal…read morewe had a year ago, only to be completely let down and have the rumors I refused to believe be confirmed. From the moment we arrived, our waitress seemed in no hurry and was forgetful to say the least. It took multiple requests just to get a kids' menu, and our drinks sat empty for nearly 30+minutes. She never cleared our table of bread, salad, or soup plates, so we ended up stacking them on the concrete wall beside us as we finished each course--simply because we couldn't stand the clutter anymore. About 10 minutes before the main course was served, she returned to tell me they had run out of filets and asked what I'd like instead. I switched to a ribeye. Our food finally arrived around 8:30, even though we were seated at 6:45--an hour and forty-five minutes later. During that time, I spoke with Leroy, the owner, more than I did with our waitress the entire evening. To top it off, she added an automatic 20% gratuity for our table of seven--four adults and three children. We're generous tippers, but jt was blatantly obvious she was coasting through the night knowing the tip was guaranteed. When the ribeye finally arrived, it was one of the toughest cuts I've ever been served--full of tendons and gristle, and certainly not worth the $40+ price tag. Honestly, I could have picked up a pack of two better ribeyes at Walmart for the price I paid for the one I didn't even eat tonight. When I mentioned my disappointment with the steak, she seemed unfazed. The only redeeming parts of the evening were the view, a cup of soup, and the vanilla crème brûlée. I made an effort to express my disappointment before leaving with zero effort on her part to engage in a solution. So I tried calling on the way home to speak with someone--no answer. So here we are..... our entire table left disappointed! It was especially embarrassing after I'd talked the place up so much--only to end the night with a $320 bill and a thoroughly underwhelming experience.
