There is a segment in the restaurant community that does well by making the simple things you can…read moremake at home. There is not only nothing wrong with that, it is sometimes exactly what you need. Exotic flavor combinations and ingredients that aren't in your regular shopping cart is not what you want. A simple sandwich, BLT for her, Club for me, with crinkle cut fries gets the job done sometimes. It satisfies that 5th grader that lurks inside of all of us no matter how old we are. I also think the older we get, the more satisfied we are with safe, neutral flavors. A pinch of salt, the indication of a whisper of pepper, a patina of mayo. We were in town for my wife to visit a quilting cornerstone spot for her. We are retired now, and closer than we had been over in MD, so we hopped in the car and made a 3 day odessy, good time had by all. Our visit got off to a little of a rough start, [at the time an unexplained delay after tea delivery - the other staff could have taken the initiative of coming to take our order, but I don't know the internal dynamics here] however the young lady bounced back well, and there are no complaints on actual service or the food. I suspect it is quite popular with the locals, I see a lot of lofty praise in the reviews, and our hotel clerk recommended we try it.

I'm so disappointed with Whistle Stop. After reading some very positive reviews I met some friends…read morefor an early evening dinner. First what was done right... We ordered the green tomatoes to share and they were yummy. Probably the best I ever had. My friends were both satisfied with their meal, one ordered a salad, and the other one had a chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, for me, I ordered a hamburger with fried okra. The okra was pretty good, however the hamburger was absolutely inedible. Dry and flavorless! I took one bite and couldn't believe how bad it was! Worst of all, when I complained the girl said "Oh, sorry about that." and walked away. I didn't want to make a scene, since I was with new friends. Needless to say, I will not be going back.

In a town like Batesville, a new restaurant doesn't just open its doors -- it announces an…read moreintention. It suggests momentum. It dares to believe there is room for something fresh on familiar streets. Board on Third carries that ambition with confidence. From the moment you step inside, it's clear that care went into the space. The décor feels curated rather than assembled -- modern without sterility, warm without cliché. There's a sense of thoughtful layering: textures that play off each other, lighting that flatters rather than floods, and design choices that signal intention. It feels like a place built for gathering -- a backdrop for conversations that linger. The staff reinforces that promise. Attentive without hovering, present without being performative. Water glasses don't empty unnoticed. Questions are answered with clarity. There's an eagerness that reads as pride -- and that matters in a new establishment finding its rhythm. Then came the chicken quesadilla. Tex-Mex is deceptively simple. It asks for restraint, but demands execution. The tortilla is not a vessel; it is the foundation. Fresh-pressed, it should offer elasticity and blistered character, carrying the aroma of toasted flour. Here, it felt ordinary -- serviceable, but lacking the tender resilience and warmth that elevates a quesadilla from cafeteria fare to something transportive. The chicken followed suit. Slightly chewy, suggesting either a previous freeze or a reheating cycle beyond its prime. Not inedible -- but uninspired. For a dish built on so few elements, each one must carry weight. When even one falters, the whole plate sinks. To be fair, every new restaurant deserves grace. Kitchens calibrate. Suppliers shift. Line cooks find their tempo. Growing pains are part of the story arc. And in a place like Batesville, supporting that arc matters. But context matters too. Coming from Texas -- where Tex-Mex is less cuisine and more birthright -- the bar sits high. A quesadilla is not a casual afterthought; it is a benchmark. On this visit, that benchmark was missed. None of this negates the promise. The space has charm. The staff has heart. The ambition is evident. What's needed now is refinement -- especially on dishes that appear simple but demand precision. Board on Third has the framework of something lasting. With tighter execution in the kitchen and attention to foundational details, it could become a cornerstone rather than just a newcomer. The potential is there. Now it's a matter of meeting it.

Local business records from the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce still associate the "First Church, United Pentecostal Church International" name with the exact address. I happen to believe that once an earthly place has been sanctified and trusted to be holy, it remains so. Interestingly, the Ward family that runs the place feel the same way. I have had fancier meals, I have eaten my share and more of catfish. It has been a long time since a total experience of being better fed in body and soul. The food is very well prepared, ours came out quick, hot and plentiful. We both chose the "small un" meal, four full fillets, a bunch of sides, coleslaw, hush puppies, potato (I subbed in onion rings). We left some behind and still took home a piece of fish and some hush puppies. Aside from the food, the experience for me was deeper. There is a truth to being a "girl dad", they get in your heart in a way that nothing else can. While my child, Cheyeane left this world behind in 2013, from time to time since, I encounter her soul. This was the case with the delightful young crew on duty 14 July. One who said she was shy, radiated a bright charming warmth that perfectly mirrored Cheyeane's ability to bring forward a smile from the grumpiest of souls. And each of the four young women my wife and I engaged with brought youthful joy and energy. This building is indeed still a church even if the joyful noise of choirs past are now just the sounds of a busy kitchen and families enjoying each other. We had good meals, a better experience for a fair price. We didn't leave a tip, we made an offering. Bless this holy place and all who dwell.

Wife ordered the fried mushrooms and these were the biggest mushrooms I believe I have ever seen in my life short of portobellos, and the Remoulade sauce with them was excellent!! It's a little drive for us, but we will definitely be heading back sometime in the future to try and catch them with some oysters. Definitely recommend checking them out!!
