    The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. We returned back multiple times and had great food each time. This is a safe space for people with celiac or gluten sensitivities. They also have lots of vegan options. They took extra care to not cross contaminate the food and it was delicious. I highly recommend this diner and hope to come back soon!

    A quirky and charming little diner with some excellent food! Harold's has the feeling of eating breakfast at your grandma's house that hasn't been updated since the 70's (in the best way possible). One of the owners was working the counter on our visit, and he took the time to give us some recommendations for sights and local bars to check out. Expect to wait a little bit for your food, as it's a smaller operation and everything is made to order, but it gives you plenty of time to explore the cool vintage artifacts scattered throughout the place. All our food was amazing and a perfect start to our day- I'm not sure I've had a better biscuit in my life!

    Blue Plate Special | Pimento cheese burger

    We just had an outstanding lunch at Harold's in Eureka Springs, and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. I ordered the Blue Plate Special -- a pimento cheese burger -- and it was hands down one of the best meals I've had, period. Not just a great burger... an incredible meal. We started with the buffalo oyster mushrooms, and wow -- the batter was light, crispy, and the sauce had just the right kick. A perfect starter. My wife ordered a burger with mushrooms, onions, bacon, and goat cheese, and that bacon deserves a shout-out of its own: thick-cut, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. Every bite of both burgers was juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The atmosphere? Super charming. It's set in a house, which makes it feel cozy and relaxed. You can actually talk over your meal -- the music plays from an LP, just loud enough to set the vibe without overwhelming the space. The staff were friendly and welcoming -- it felt like having lunch at a friend's place who just happens to be an amazing chef. Harold's is an easy 10/10. If you're within 5 miles of Eureka Springs, go. You'll be glad you did. We'll absolutely be back. Thank you for a phenomenal lunch!

    We stumbled on this place and had to go back 2 days in a row. The food was amazing, the chef is fantastic and all local flavors. The mission, helping food insecurity? Where do I sign. The nostalgia and the SERVICE. Thank you, Harold's for a 5 star experience.

    Owners kind, with vibes so sweet. Food's a feast, a tasty treat. Allergy-friendly, what a score! More than enough, you'll be left wanting more.

    eggs, potato, pancakes

    Honestly this place was an upset all over. My potatoes and eggs were good. My husband got Biscuits & Chocolate Gravy which are difficult to find anywhere. He was so happy to order them but when he tried them he hated it :/. He was not a fan and i was not a fan of the pancakes. They looked good I loved the stamp but it was no good. At this place you will have to order your own food up front not seated. You then have to serve your own drink and then on top of all that when you food is ready they put it on a tray where you have to pick it up from a window and take the tray back for them to reuse it. Regret tipping them since I did all the service anyway. The place itself was cramped, it's cute looking and family friendly. Other than that they really had nothing going for them. Not to mention to add a slice of bacon was 3.50 each! So I did not want to order anything else because of how expensive it was.

    Food - oh my goodness, so delicious. I ate my yummy potato hash and then thought I'd have a little bite of this biscuit that no one else at...shouldn't have it was amazing and I ate the whole thing. It was a great breakfast. Service - Stellar, so kind and welcoming. I want to see these people everyday. Ambiance - groovy!

    The food is one thing, but the service is absolutely impeccable!! I was treated with a smile when I walked in, felt absolutely comfortable. It's definitely a homey, friendly atmosphere! It's also pretty cool that they sale local vendor products. I got a vegan dish that was delightful! I'll definitely be returning!

    This roadside diner is a must when in Eureka Springs! Opened October 2023. So many local beverages on tap - mango pineapple kombucha, root beer, and more. Gluten-free and conventional pancakes, epic burgers, and vegan options. Fun board game room and patio seating. Reminds me New Zealand tea houses. Merci, Chef!

    Bar and ordering.

    Go here!!! Amazing, chef crafted farm to table food, groovy 70s vibe. Play vintage record, play a game, take advantage of the on tap natural sodas and chill!! Highly recommend.

    This cozy spot up the hill from the town center opened in October 2023 and it is a gem. The theme is inspired from his grandfather, Harold, who wanted to ensure "all have a place at his table." The food is sourced from local farmers as much as possible. Friendly, personable, and cozy. It's a Brooklyn-esque brunch spot in the heart of the Ozarks.

    Blue plate special!

The chicken fried steak is the best. Not greasy. Huge! The gravy is on point. We tried the cream cheese corn and I'd have to say that I thought the green beans are better. The onion rings are incredible! The mashed potatoes are very good. The service is good. The only issue we had was that we had ordered a side order of onion rings. When a huge basket came out, I asked if this was the side order and the waitress quickly commented that she had put it in as a side order but that they sent a whole order. She said she would adjust it but when she brought the check she said that she took off 10%. Quickly doing the math, the basket we were charged for was $11 while the side order is $5. 10% didn't come close and we barely made a dent in the basket of delicious rings. The live music was nice but they might need to tell the entertainer that it isn't meant to be a show, just background. He doesn't need to be the center of everyone's meal. Local Flavor is a must try! You won't be disappointed.

The decor in the second room feels as if you have walked into a Victorian parlor with a mix of speakeasy. I loved the art which was from local artist and available to purchase! The service was great. Our server was attentive as much as she could be. It was really busy but our order was taken quickly, our food came out pretty fast, and we were checked in on a couple of times so no complaints! They have an area where they sit out 4 different kinds of coffee (including their house blend and a decaf) that is called their endless cup. Once seated, you can walk over and serve yourself (sweeteners and creamer are there as well) so no need to wait if you need some coffee! I think it was just 65 cents. I also ordered one of their special seasonal iced coffees as well. My boyfriend got a seasonal match drink. All of them including their signature blend of coffee are delicious! The food was awesome. We got the spicy cheese grits loaded with eggs, veggies, and bacon. A huge platter! A berry stuffed pancake and a biscuit as well. Everything was scrumptious! I loved that the berries were stuffed into the pancake and not just on top. The spicy cheese grits did have a kick to them! We shared all of the items and both agreed everything was delicious! Definitely a place I will return to on my next visit!!

It was so unbalanced that I couldn't finish it.
