This is a great, clean local diner style restaurant for home cooking and favorite foods. They offer…read morea pie shop with excellent pies and other good desserts. (They serve breakfast until 2p). They offer grill type food with hamburgers and french fries and onion rings, cheese sticks, jalapeño poppers, etc. and then they also have steak nights as well as catfish, and even Tex-Mex food available. The service is friendly and fast and the people here act like they know you even if they don't ha ha. Most people do know one another because it's a place where locals are regular customers and the wait staff are mostly long-term employees.

Server She did not say her name. Bubbly as all get out…read more Clearly, not our server. That gal just brought our drinks. Our server very Clearly did not care. I would've preferred the first gal. Ambiance Typical family diner Food The servers inability to understand the difference between over medium and over well is shocking since this is where she "works". The ham n cheese omelet was good. Large pieces of ham that were at times tough and not tasty. The hash browns were over done and lacked much flavor. The chicken fried chicken n eggs. Was pretty good. The chicken breading was okay. Other than the egg issue mentioned above. Overall Servers clearly need training as well as the line (short order) cooks do. What the customer asks for SHOUID ALWAYS be the goal in what is presented. The establishment has removed the military discount... shows a great lack of concern for our military. Military Nope!

Ok, I'm really trying to be nice here. I'm used to Texas styled BBQ, so the bar is set high. The…read morefolks working here are very nice. The joint looks like Old School BBQ. The food was just Ok. The brisket and turkey were cut way too thin so they got dry really quick. The sausage was really good and so was the fried okra. The twice baked potato had problems. The main issue was the two slices of fake cheese covering the whole thing. I literally pulled it off like a concrete blanket. The tea was fresh and they have nugget ice cubes.

I have eaten here twice. Both times the food and service was good. BUT, the last 3 times IN A ROW I…read morehave driven there they were closed despite everything on line saying they were open. This last time there were cars in front and someone sitting down eating and I was quickly and curtly told to come back Tuesday before I could open my mouth . I will not be back Tuesday, or any other day. If you are going out of your way to try this place I suggest having a back up plan and maybe calling first. Btw, it's okay to be closed but it is not okay to speak to me in that tone or fashion.

For starters, I called them to see if they were open. Was put on hold for 20 minutes and I gave…read moreup. Yelp said not open on Wednesday but Google said open. They were indeed open. Air conditioning is not good. Probably 80 to 85 degrees in here. They have Pepsi products... so gag. They have ice but no cups. She told me if I had a cup in the car, she could give me ice. The fries were good. The burger is the thinnest thing I've ever eaten in my life. I got a single patty. A person would definitely need 2 patties and really even 3 patties. Definitely a crisp smash burger, which is not my thing. One time was enough for me. I still say the best burger in Fort is 5 Guys and for the money Braums burger with fries and a shake is good and a good value.

I moved from Nashville TN little over a year ago it's $6.75 for a pulled pork sandwich at Edleys that's not including military discount of 25%. And the median income is 107k where fort smith is 26k. Pulled pork was cooked right just dried out Sauce taste like ketchup with a dash of vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar and black pepper I plan to try inside dining once before I check this place off the list, possibly my order was rung up incorrectly and possibly they have some sauces that taste like bbq inside. Will definitely update on my inside experience

Yes! Yes! Yes!…read more This location closed for a brief few months. We were so glad when they reopened. Still, there were a few concerns as they got up and running after the downtime. So - I waited a bit and then came back. And back. And back. And back. If you couldn't tell - I've been back and ai will say CATFISH HOLE IS BACK! Better than ever! The hush puppies are the best you'll ever find anywhere - I mean that'. I've eaten all over and yet to find any better. The food is severed hot and fresh. The service is fast and friendly. The management team and staff work hard to please and take care of every detail and it shows. Fantastic experience worth the drive to eat hot, fresh catfish, chicken, hush puppies, Cole slaw, pickles, green tomato relish, and other wonderful dishes (fried clams is my favorite).
