Really friendly servers -- all of them -- great breakfast menu, tasty food, large portions, and cheap prices. A totally enjoyable meal earlier today on a day visit to Fayetteville. Coffee was okay, a bit stronger would work better for me. Pleasant, local-oriented, small town appropriate venue. Nicely done ... read more

I arrived before the lunch crowd. Waitress quickly came over and took my order. I had the chicken fried steak with grilled onions and gravy, fried okra and mashed potatoes. All were excellent. Also at a very reasonable price at today's market. It was a very pleasant atmosphere. I will be going back soon, and try one of their daily lunch specials. read more

I used to love going to Orsak's. I was very disappointed in the food and service the last couple of times we ate there. I probably will not be going back. read more

Quaint local restaurant, with small town hospitality and Texas country menu. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was attentive in spite of a packed house. read more

It's a good cafe. It's the usual hometown/regional foods that anyone with a stomach will enjoy. My family and I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Sandwhiches with sides of our choosing. The Chicken Fried Steak part of the sandwhich had almost no seasoning and I liberally added pepper and salt which improved it immensely. The sides aren't included with the sandwhiches which is a bit of a let down but not overly so. I ordered the onions rings which had a wonderfully crackly batter. The perfect kind. The other sides were fried squash and French fries. The service was on the slow side but it was also busy and it's a mom/pop cafe which is to be expected. I'd recommend this place if you're stopping through. read more

My dad and I had the lunch special today, and I loved it. I had the small plate of hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, green beans (substituted for green peas at no cost). It was very tasty, even the gravy, and included a small piece of lemon poppyseed cake. All for $7.50. Don't know why some guy from Fort Worth thought it was pricey. read more

Great food in a small town that's absolutely worth the drive. We went for a drive in my car after finishing updates on it. Got hungry and decided to Yelp for a place to eat. Hung a right off 71 and rolled into town. Fresh patty that was cooked perfectly. Onion rings and cheese sticks were breaded in house. Food was outstanding. Kinda busy for a late Saturday lunch but the staff was great and took care of us. Here's a hint- at the register is a sign for restrooms! Go through there and there's another dining area that probably only the locals know about. Cool little family owned restaurant that we love to find on our trips. read more

Delicious food, we drive 30 mins to eat here! The staff is great! The price of food is very reasonable!

Quaint diner in Fayetteville. The food makes it worth the drive though. Provided friendly and prompt service.

Bacon Cheese Burger and Onion Rings were the best! Had a party of four and everyone loved their meal. Service was great. We have been eating at Orsak's for years and are never disappointed. read more

Okay. I'm here on a surprise visit. From Ft Worth. Not many people in here at 12:00 noon. I now know why. I was here about a day and a half before I got my food. (Pricey at that). I looked at the 1 star reviews before I wrote this. They were the same complaint. Slow. That's what you get when your cook has one arm and works with one burner and one pan...(sigh). Save yourself!!! I'm here cuz of family. I almost asked for a pillow read more

Hidden gem!! Cute atmosphere that transports you to a different, simpler time. Great burgers!

Had lunch at Orsak's on 27 Aug. About 10 motorcycle riders met there. The staff is very friendly, our server made it a fun time. The chicken-fried steak is maybe the best I've ever had outside my wife's kitchen. I will be back. read more

This place is as old-town country as they come! Time goes by slower and you can listen to the town residents talk about each other while dining. Haha. But they know how to cook for dang sure! Just like my great grandma used to cook! Their catfish is amazing! Maybe some of the best I've had in my life. Their burgers are almost really good. Juicy and full of flavor. Not too greasy but definitely juicy. Sweet Tea Rating: 0/10 They don't have sweet tea. You'd figure a place like this would have amazing Southern Sweet Tea! read more

This cafe is amazing, I've been eating here since I was in sixth grade. The food is always amazing and the waiters, cooks, and cashiers go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Keep it up guys! read more

Found ourselves passing by Orsak's around dinnertime. My dining partners had ate there previously and suggested we stop in. While we were there, several people came in to eat and several more stopped by to pick up orders. I would not describe it as "busy". Staff appeared to have significant downtime during our visit but didn't use it to engage guests or do anything resembling work. The menu had plenty of choices, making it easy for everyone in our party to find something to order. A chicken special was ordered by a couple of my dining partners and I had the chicken fried pork chops. I think there was a good serving size offered; however, the meal was just okay. My pork chops didn't have a lot of flavor and my mash potatoes were warm, not hot (just cool enough to be annoying but not cold enough to complain). I really did like their ice tea and on the one check of our table, scored a refill. I always hate Yelp's scoring system; wanting to give the cafe at least a 3.5 but not willing to give 4 stars. I always have issues with small town restaurants who want and need business but don't bring their "A" game all the time. I'd probably give another restaurant a shot if I found myself passing through a second time. read more

Small diner/cafe with huge burgers, tasty stew and daily specials. Good selection of desserts and many Blue Bell flavors. I stopped in after a bike ride and tried the chili stew. The stew was very tasty...basically a chili-flavored beef stew with ground beef and big chunks of potatoes and carrots. It was different and delicious. The waitress says it is a local favorite. I ordered the vegetable side of the day, which was a cup of canned peas. They were ok, but I prefer fresh or frozen peas over the mushy canned ones. As I sat on a stool at the counter, the guy to my left ordered the daily special: roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy. It looked good and he appeared to enjoy it. To my right, a couple split one of the huge "build your own" burgers. They looked tasty and I may have to try one on my next visit. Orsak's also offers various soups, salads, chicken, steak, and seafood. In front of me on the counter were some brownies that looked really, really good. They were sitting next to a baking pan and appeared to be freshly made and just taken out of the pan. These monster-sized brownies are about three inches tall and are served with a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream. Speaking of Blue Bell, there are about ten different flavors on the menu. Worth a stop if you are in the area. Prices are good, but service was small-town slow. Very relaxed atmosphere, though. read more

Great small town cafe with fresh food! First time going there and I am so impressed! Too bad I didn't get a picture of my chicken fried steak with gravy, mashed potatoes (real) and fried squash! I had a 20 minute drive home and the food was still HOT!! The food was really good! Real food cooked by real people. The counter girl is adorable and the young man that got my food was so polite and handsome. If you like a delicious, small town cafe vibe I highly recommend this place. If you don't like nice people and great food don't, they are nice and the food is GREAT! read more

This restaurant has been around forever and is widely know in this area. Last time I had a Chicken Fried Steak for lunch. It was a little different than the norm being serviced with brown gravy on a bed of rice. It was tasty, the service was good, and the price fair! read more

Good old American food restaurant. It is timeless and solidly good food.

Amazing salad bar, an burgers are a main staple. read more

Orsak's is just down the street from our home in Fayetteville. It is the go to for home cooking. Consistent great food! Burgers are awesome. Catfish is wonderful. Chicken fried chicken is oh so good. We eat there regularly and also order take out, and sometimes when I am too lazy or tired to make dessert at home the hubby shoots down there for some take out desserts! We love Orsak's! read more

Growing up in the 90's/00s in Fayette county, one of my best memories was my parents taking us to eat at Orsaks. Fast forward a couple decades, and how far it has fallen. Unless my visit was a fluke, i was absolutely appalled at the quality of food and lack of service we received. We came in a lo little after 8 PM on a Thursday, and there was only one other couple in the entire restaurant, but several staff sitting inland talking. We were finally helped, I ordered a platter of catfish, shrimp and deviled crabs, and my friend ordered chicken fried chicken. My catfish was absolutely disgusting, it had that slimy feel/taste under the breading. The shrimp tasted of unchanged grease, the crabs were ok, but I was so turned off by that point, I couldn't really enjoy it. My friends chicken was ok, but lacked any semblance of seasoning and it tasted fishy, like it too had been cooked in the old fryer grease. To say the trip was disappointing was a understatement. Hopefully the venue gets its problems addressed, but as it was, I could only say I would recommend avoiding till it does. read more

ORSUCKS- Worst dining experience in memory. It took 45 minutes to receive one cup of cold potato soup that smelled and tasted like Veg-all canned vegetables, and an inedible bowl of chili that was nothing but old hamburger meat floating in grease. Literally. We also ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that had kraft singles that were not even melted. Cannot understand how it can possibly take so long to scoop already prepared "food" into a bowl and make a grilled cheese sandwich. There were wait staff everywhere and it was as if we were entirely alone. It took 20 minutes to get our waters refilled while we were waiting for the meal we ordered. Horrible service to accompany even worse food. We left after one taste. I will say that they recognized the issue and they did not charge us. read more

I went there yesterday. Got my meal then asked for some extra mayo. She brought it and then picked up my check and made a change. She actually charged my 50 cents for less about a teaspoon of mayo read more

We stopped here on our way to Houston because it had great reviews, but were very disappointed. While we did have a wonderful, very attentive waitress, it took an hour to get our food from the kitchen, and the food itself was bland and greasy. The selection is minimal. The atmosphere was great, as it is clearly a local favorite, but the food itself was... not great. Let me amend; the food is bad. In addition, when I went to the bathroom, the toilet didn't allow toilet paper (must be thrown in the trash), the soap dispenser was broken (soap could be gotten from a ketchup bottle) and the charming wicker basket that contained toilet paper also housed three large, dead roaches. Yikes. read more

Talk about the lil diner that could. Wow. step into this place with fresh deserts, down home service and sit back and relax. My son got the burger which was huge. My brother-in-law got the double burger that he almost had to unhinge his jaw to eat. I went with the country fried steak and mashed potatoes and was not let down. Not only was it good. i could only finish about half of it. Worked out to be a great lunch for the next day. I had wished I had ordered something smaller so I could have had room to try the desert. If you want comfort food stop in and enjoy. Next time I am in town I am going back. read more

While visiting the in-laws in Bellville, we drove out to Fayetteville for a change of scenery. Ended up at Orsak's for a late lunch. They serve up good, no nonsense food here.
