Where's the passion for good food? Cooking bacon and making gravy homemade is easy. I definitely recommend you give them a try, though! I'll be back to test their hamburgers.

Shady Oaks? More like Sandy oaks…read more Everything tasted like it was seasoned with freezer burn and a light dusting of the Sahara Desert. Dry, gritty, and somehow both cold and overcooked at the same time. I'm pretty sure my meal spent more time in a freezer than in a kitchen. 0/7 would rate.

While visiting family in Arkansas from Florida, we stopped into Hawkins Variety Store and…read morehonestly...this place was just FUN. My absolute favorite thing in the store was the selection of hats -- especially the hilarious animal hats with ears that pop up and down when you squeeze the dangling paws. They were adorable little girls hats. I was thankful for my great-nephews because if I had great-nieces, we would have spent way more money in this store than intended LOL. Beyond the hats, they had a little bit of everything: old-school candy, toys, snacks, sandwiches, souvenirs, and Blue Bell Ice Cream. It definitely has that classic small-town variety store feel that's becoming harder and harder to find. One of our Arkansas family members treated us to ice cream, and mine was delicious. I went with strawberry in a waffle cone while my daughter chose cherry vanilla. One thing I found both funny and interesting -- all the cone options were the same price. The larger waffle cone cost the same as the smaller sugar cone, which means...obviously go big if you can because you can fit way more ice cream in it for the same cost. Cute little stop with personality, nostalgia, and some genuinely unique finds.

We sat at the bar and the bartender is beyond lovely. She was very sweet, warm and welcoming. I got an "adult" cherry limeade and my husband got a glass of the smal batch Hochatown whiskey. Both were fantastic. My limeade was both tart with a hint of sweetness- very refreshing and exactly what I wanted after a hike. To start we got the fried mushrooms, they were hot and fresh and delicious! Not too overly bartered and super juicy. I got ranch and my husband got bbq sauce and both are delicious- you can tell they're both made in house! The bbq sauce has a hint of spiciness that we loved. We split the Yard Bird half portion spicy and it was HUGE. Great portion and great flavor!! Super juicy and not overly spicy. We got it with fries, beans and an extra side of fried okra. All I can say is that they're all fantastic and it was exactly what we were hoping for. Very casual place but it was exactly what we were lookin for. Great for couples and families. Go check it out!!

I was in the mood for some chicken tenders and boy were they delicious!! The chicken pieces breading was crunchy. the pieces were huge and the meat inside was moist. The mashed potatoes and gravy were equally yummy. I took half home and the air fryer heated it up perfectly. There's nothing fancy about the interior, but it was clean and the service was excellent.

But the toast was oily (not buttery) and the oil did not taste good. Unfortunately, that oil ruined the sandwich. He had the chicken fried steak and later told me the steak was super chewy, not tender. We both enjoyed our fries. The other weird thing about this place is you never get an itemized bill. We received the ticket from the kitchen and then you go to the counter to pay and they tell you a total amount I think the breakfast items and cakes/cheesecakes look promising here but I don't know if we will be back to try then.

We went to Hochatown Saloon on a Monday around noon for lunch. It was pretty quiet, so we were…read moreseated right away with no wait. Right off the bat, their draft beer machine wasn't working, so we stuck with water and a soda. After being seated, there was a noticeable delay before our waitress came back. She explained she was dealing with an issue on another customer's credit card, which slowed things down. We started with the fried pickles. They were very good. Crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked right, but the portion felt a little light for an appetizer. For the main, we shared the Oklahoma country fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy. That was the highlight. The steak had a solid crust with good flavor, and everything on the plate was done right. No complaints there. Overall, the food was strong, especially the country fried steak, but the service and the draft beer situation held it back some. If they tighten that up, it'd be a much better experience.

We dined here on 2/27/26…read more I had a blueberry lemon drop (custom, it wasn't on the menu), and my husband had a blueberry lemonade. The drinks were okay and very average - it wouldn't keep us away or bring us back! As an appetizer, we had the fried Swiss cheese. It was definitely different and interesting in comparison to your mozzarella, but it was cool to try! I wouldn't reorder. My husband had a 8oz. Sirloin with a side of corn and I had the chicken tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were delicious, but the frozen crinkle cut fries dampened the whole meal - for almost $20 for chicken tenders, I would've loved some house made or hand battered fries! The rolls with each meal were good, but could've used some butter! The steak was well cooked and the corn had good flavor! Everything was mediocre overall, we would likely come back on account of the chicken tenders, but wouldn't run back for anything else.

Your food usually comes out pretty quick despite it being busy. The interior is a mix of random tchotchkes and a surfer California vibe. It has seen better days and some of the furniture and decor is a bit worn and in need of replacing or a good scrub down. Parking can be a bit tricky when it's busy so you may need to park down closer to the park or the hotel and walk.

Like most things in Broken Bow, there was a bit of a wait to sit by 9:45. We enjoyed that they have seating for larger groups. There were several 8 and 4 tops available. The omelets were meh, pancakes and biscuits and gravy were good. The bacon was fatty and undercooked and had to be ordered à la carte. The waitress didn't give warm and fuzzy vibes. I'm sure a couple of weeks of spring break is hard on them but we didn't dine here again b/c the food was average and the waitress seemed stressed.
