Coonyon's Restaurant Review My dad raved about Coonyon's and…read morewanted to take us there for dinner tonight. We settled in and placed our orders -- I had a small cup of gumbo and a small red beans and rice, Dad ordered the gator bites, and my wife and mother both went with the shrimp and cheese grits. Having spent many years traveling through seven different states, including plenty of time in Louisiana and New Orleans, I've had my share of gumbo. To put it kindly, this wasn't one of the better ones. It lacked the dark roux that gives gumbo its signature flavor, had very little liquid, and mostly consisted of chunks of chicken and okra over a pile of rice. The gator bites were probably the best thing I tried -- even though I only tasted one, it was quite good. The red beans and rice were decent, with the highlight being the sausage, though there were only three or four very thin slices. I'd love to find that sausage again! The shrimp and grits I sampled had good, creamy grits, tasty shrimp, and a tomato-based étouffée-style sauce that worked well together. The waitress was prompt, the food arrived hot and on time, and overall it was a decent experience -- but not quite what I'd consider a true Cajun restaurant.

Authentic Cajun food. Most restaurants do not know how to make gumbo. This is the real deal. Also…read moreyou can get etouffe', boudin balls, muffelettas, good fried or blackened catfish, shrimp and grits and other dishes. Also beer and wine.

On the evening of July 9th, we decided to give the Lazy Enchilada a try for the very first time. I'm sure glad we did. From the minute we walked through the front door around 5:00 p.m., we were welcomed with a smile and seated right away. The folks working there were as friendly as they come. Our drinks showed up quick, and our waitress stayed on top of everything the whole meal without being overbearing. Empty glass? It didn't stay empty long. Now let's talk about the food... The chips were thin, crispy, fresh, and downright addictive. And that salsa? Buddy, that's some of the best salsa I've ever put in my mouth. It had just the right amount of kick without trying to burn your taste buds off. I wound up putting it on everything--the chips, my tacos, and even the rice. I ordered the crispy beef taco dinner with double rice and no beans. The taco shells were perfectly crispy, the seasoned beef was full of flavor, and that Mexican rice was flat-out outstanding. Honestly, it's some of the best Mexican rice I've ever eaten. Everything about this place impressed me--the food, the service, the atmosphere, and the prices. These days it's getting harder and harder to find a restaurant where you walk away feeling like you got your money's worth, but the Lazy Enchilada sure fits the bill. If you're anywhere around Norfork, whether you're chasing trout like we were or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't hear me complain one bit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Five stars from this Texas boy.

This small Tex-Mex restaurant was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The food was…read morefresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. Even though the dining room is small, it has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes the experience enjoyable. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Another big plus is that they're open 7 days a week, which makes it easy to stop by anytime you're craving great Tex-Mex. Conveniently in Norfork, Arkansas right by White River Cabins and Fishing and Very Quaint Town.

The weekly dessert offering is in excess of 15 choices of pies and cakes. All are made locally with some unique names like Arkansas Possum Pie and Dream Sickle. Weekly delivery is on Monday late afternoon. These sellout each week! Salad bar is always fresh with a daily soup. Staff does a nice job of taking care of diners.

I spent the day hyping up this restaurant, to my visiting relatives expecting the same great meal…read morewe had a year ago, only to be completely let down and have the rumors I refused to believe be confirmed. From the moment we arrived, our waitress seemed in no hurry and was forgetful to say the least. It took multiple requests just to get a kids' menu, and our drinks sat empty for nearly 30+minutes. She never cleared our table of bread, salad, or soup plates, so we ended up stacking them on the concrete wall beside us as we finished each course--simply because we couldn't stand the clutter anymore. About 10 minutes before the main course was served, she returned to tell me they had run out of filets and asked what I'd like instead. I switched to a ribeye. Our food finally arrived around 8:30, even though we were seated at 6:45--an hour and forty-five minutes later. During that time, I spoke with Leroy, the owner, more than I did with our waitress the entire evening. To top it off, she added an automatic 20% gratuity for our table of seven--four adults and three children. We're generous tippers, but jt was blatantly obvious she was coasting through the night knowing the tip was guaranteed. When the ribeye finally arrived, it was one of the toughest cuts I've ever been served--full of tendons and gristle, and certainly not worth the $40+ price tag. Honestly, I could have picked up a pack of two better ribeyes at Walmart for the price I paid for the one I didn't even eat tonight. When I mentioned my disappointment with the steak, she seemed unfazed. The only redeeming parts of the evening were the view, a cup of soup, and the vanilla crème brûlée. I made an effort to express my disappointment before leaving with zero effort on her part to engage in a solution. So I tried calling on the way home to speak with someone--no answer. So here we are..... our entire table left disappointed! It was especially embarrassing after I'd talked the place up so much--only to end the night with a $320 bill and a thoroughly underwhelming experience.

The server was extremely friendly throughout the entire meal. There is quite a selection to choose from but it isn't overwhelming. I settled on the Hay Stack because I wanted biscuits and gravy and eggs. I would have preferred something besides sausage, but I didn't ask about a substitution. (Suggestion: Think about making this customizable on the menu with meat and potato options. I would love to have done this with ham and home fries instead of sausage and hash browns.) I also ordered a side of grits. While not an issue for me since I can season my food myself, I did end up adding salt to both dishes and pepper to the grits. The inside of the building is very cozy and the place was full of locals when I arrived. It stayed busy through my time there. There were specials on the menu board as well. Overall, this was a good place with good food and excellent service, and I have no reservations about recommending this business if you are looking for a breakfast nook in Mountain Home.
