We came here after a morning of diamond hunting! It was a cute little spot with a variety of choices for adults and kids alike. There was a salad bar but we decided to go with Chips and Queso, buffalo chicken wrap, fried pickles and a BLT. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and the fried pickles were a stand out with great ranch for dipping! The waitress was awesome and helped the kids pick something out to eat. Great spot! read more

Came in after digging around for diamonds. Took a minute to be told to sit anywhere, so we stood at the front waiting to be acknowledged. Took a back corner table and was immediately swarmed by flies. Menus were greasy to the touch. Relocated ourselves to a different table, waitress commented the fly table was one guests weren't supposed to sit at for meals. Food was decent, but not entirely in house made. Chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, and salisbury steak all had a "heat&eat" vibe. Okra wasn't breaded in house. Daughter's canned green beans had a large stem in the bowl. Fried jalapeños and fried pickles were the best part of the meal. read more

I asked the cashier at the store if there was a local restaurant with good food and she sent me to the right place. Outstanding Southern cuisine. The patty melt was the best I ever had and it came with tater tots that were crisp and hot. The sweet tea was fresh. The service was fantastic. The decor was rustic Southern. The prices were better than reasonable. They had the most extensive list of fried pies I've ever seen but I was too full to get one. Five stars plus in my book! read more

Down to earth place. Small local restaurant. The food was delicious. We had chicken fried steaks, loaded baked potatoes, chips, and salsa and cheese sticks. The waitress and bus girl were great. read more

We came here after spending some time at the Crater of Diamonds State Park. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. You seat yourself and when we sat down the waitress got to us immediately and took our drink order. Throughout our time the service was top notch and they checked in with us frequently. The appetizer of chili cheese fries was fantastic! My burger was also very good. The burger had jalapeños, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, and mayo on it. The tater tots were not the best though. The price was a little high but I can understand as it is a very small town. I would definitely visit this establishment again if we were to return to the area! read more

Ordered a breFed chicken sandwich with tater tots and unsweetened ice tea I was not expecting much out of the ordinary and was not even planning on leaving a Yelp review I took the first bite of my sandwich Wow! Did not expect the crispy tasty chicken! I asked the waitress if they did their own breading and the answer was yes This is by far the absolute best chicken sandwich I've had. Tots were tots, frozen and fried but a nice alternative to regular fries Wait stuff friendly and nice. If your here for the cratet of diamonds state park stop in for the chicken! read more

Southern Dine - Short Stack pancakes - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Arkansas

Being a touristy area, it is easy to cut and paste, and overwhelmingly good service wouldn't guarantee repeat customers. They provide adequate fare, pleasant atmosphere, and nice service. Considering the limited choices of competing restaurants, they could have gouged prices (again, repeat customers are the smaller part of their clientelle...but, they chose not to.) Good service, Good gravy, good golly, Let's eat. read more

Southern Diner had yummy food and friendly people! We really enjoyed eating here! We had dinner and breakfast here while we enjoyed our stay in Murfreesboro. My grandson enjoyed the quesadillas, and the Philly omelette was delicious! My husband liked the chicken fried steak and the western omelette. Our favorite was the deluxe western hash browns! read more

This place is just my speed. Great food, friendly service, no frills. Tuna sandwich was good. Onion rings were superior. Burger was perfectly cooked, juicy and well-seasoned. Would love to eat here again. read more

I understand that in a small town you cannot expect everything but a mushroom burger is hard to mess up. They managed to do it the mushrooms went a CAN to the burger no grill nothing. Totally disappointing. But the fries were great read more

Thought we would enjoy a local meal before we visited Crater of Diamonds State Park. Service was slow. Waitstaff argued about tickets and table numbers. Tuna sandwich was mostly mayo with small amounts of tuna and egg. Steak sandwich overcooked. Was told after 20 minutes that the salad bar wasn't set up so we needed to choose something else for the salad bar we ordered. Very disappointed based on the reviews we read. read more

Perfect spot to refill the belly after a morning of digging for diamonds up the road, Southern Dine had great service, we got our food fast, and the staff was handling in-person diners as well as a busy drive-thru line. The sweet tea is great; sandwiches are all served on Texas toast; and the "Cajun fries" are cooked fresh to order. If you love local places to eat when visiting somewhere new, this is the spot for you! read more

Southern Dine - Cowboy Club (without tomatoes) - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Arkansas

Terry & Rachel best service! Country fried steak, burgers and southern cooking. Great find in a small town!

We decided to eat here for breakfast on our mini-vacation to Murfreesboro, and we were not disappointed. Of course, due to COVID, the restaurant was short staff; however, our waitress was so wonderful, and the food came out quickly. The food was so fresh and delicious, and the biscuit seriously melted in my mouth. Great diner and a must to try! read more

Fantastic stop! We came for dinner while in town for metal detecting jamboree at Ka Do Ha Indian Village. We really enjoyed it & had a wide variety of meals. Fried Pickles were great! The Ribeye was perfect. Good job all around! read more

Don't let the looks fool you! It's a little bit outdated, but full of great customer service and food. We went in for breakfast this morning and received our food in a timely manner (the waitress was single handedly serving the dining room during rush hour) and it was tasty as well as fairly priced. Compliments to the chef, happily returning this evening for our last meal in town. read more

We stopped here the last time we came to Arkansas and it's WOW!!! Don't get the double cheese burger unless you are seriously hungry!!' This place is amazingly good and the food was fresh. Fries weren't over cooked and the grease is clean you can tell bye the flavor. Be sure to stop and say hello the staff is friendly and service was good. read more

Southern Dine - Double Cheese burger!!! Fresh meat patty. - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Arkansas

Small town Dinner, with Big tasting food, for a great price. Everything came out hot and it was good. The services ladies were nice and friendly. My family and I was in the area and stopped here for dinner. No complaints read more

I never leave review but we came expecting a great dinner which was not wonderful. The food was great if they had it, they were out of so many food items that we had to have back up options to drinks and meals. Also, lots of flies, probably 7-10 just at our table. The waitress we had was nice and accommodating which helped a lot. This place is not 5 or 4 star like so many of the reviews have said. read more

We stopped in for lunch after a morning of digging for diamonds. They were super busy and service was slow. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. Hubby enjoyed his cheeseburger. The vegetarian options are a black bean burger, a quesadilla with veggies, and salad. The decor is a mix of crosses, guns, wagon wheels and animal heads hanging on the wall. The bathrooms were weird - no doors on the women's stalls, just curtains, which did not afford complete privacy. If we are ever in town again, we'll try someplace different. read more

Our first day in Murfreesboro and we stopped in for a late lunch / early dinner. There's nothing special about the diner. It's not really decorated but has plenty of tables and chairs for guests so it's fine for what it is. There were no other guests when we were there. The menu gives lots of choices so we had quite a variety to choose from. Husband ordered the cheese quesadillas. They were definitely freshly cooked, warm and very good. I opted for the daily special. It was two pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans and banana pudding for the dessert. Obviously, the food was not fresh cooked as it arrived at the table within 5 minutes. The potatoes were cold, not lukewarm but cold. Within about 2 minutes I received a new plate of potatoes. I'm guessing there's a great microwave back there but could be wrong. The beans were good and so was the dessert. However, the chicken was awful. The outside breading was so thick I had trouble peeling it off to get to the chicken meat. The wing was not edible. We may try it again when our friends arrive in town and give it another chance for something else on the menu but think we'll ask if the item we order is freshly prepared first. There aren't a lot of choices in Murfreesboro. The servers were friendly and efficient. read more

Good homes cooking, sandwhiches and burgers. Friendly staff and everyone tries their best to please.

Love this place! Great service and excellent food. It has a relaxing country feel to it. I wanted breakfast food but they weren't serving breakfast at that time.... but they made me breakfast anyway. Great service! Will be back next time I'm in Murfreesboro. read more

Southern Dine - Chicken fried chicken with Mac and cheese and corn nuggets!!! Omg so goooooood!!!!!!!!! - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Arkansas

Service and food was absolutely great. Would go again if in the area. Well worth the price.

Best diner we have been to in Arkansas out of 3 (1 in Texarkana) and not including miners which is a "steakhouse"

We went to Southern Dine on New Years Day (also our anniversary). They were clearly busy with takeout orders but the waitress was quite attentive. She even gave us a couple packs of crackers to keep our baby happy until the food came. The food was delicious. I got the Watt's Electric Burger, like it comes; with a side of onion rings. Sid got the a Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. They forgot his bacon, but they fixed it promptly and even gave him extra. The cook came out to apologize to us. We plan to eat there again before our trip is over, but even if we don't, the experience was a wonderful memory for our anniversary trip!! read more

After a trip to Crater of Diamond State park with our son, daughter-in- law and granddaughter, we found this small restaurant. The staff was very friendly and seated us quickly. Each of us ordered different meals. The food was prepared quickly and was delicious. The grilled chicken was possibly the best I have ever eaten. The fried chicken was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Best pancakes I've had in a really long time. Waitress is super nice, talks with the regulars, very attentive. They accommodated me working here all day because the cell signal and wifi service down the road at my campground were rubbish. Only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is that the bathroom was super nasty. read more

Fantastic little diner. We stopped here while traveling through on vacation. It was busy at lunchtime, but the food came out fast. Good variety on the menu. Our party had chili cheese fries, chips and (homemade) salsa, cheeseburgers, a taco salad, a pulled pork sandwich, and chicken tenders- Everything was done well. Service was top-notch. My family and I were pleasantly surprised and we highly recommend. read more

decent food, weird staff. we were sat in the rattle room (??) and had to wipe off some of our own table with a bottle of disinfectant that the waitress handed us. she sat at our table while taking our order, which felt unprofessional. never rude just a little strange. i wouldn't not go back but it definitely wouldn't be my first pick. read more

After a fruitless morning of digging for diamonds in the local state park, hunger had raised his ugly head. My friend and I asked two locals where to get a good burger or meal. Both locals pointed us toward Southern Dine. We rolled up and found a down home restaurant with a menu that provided good basic food. We were waited on by a very friendly and helpful waitress named Shea. I ordered the Philly Steak sandwich with half fries and half onion rings. My friend got s hamburger with Cajun fries. The burger was very large and looked really good. My Philly was great. In review: Southern Dine is Mighty Fine! If I'm back in Murfreesboro AR, I'll be back and I hope that Shea will be my waitress. read more

We called in breakfast to go that morning and it was pretty good, so later that evening based on the reviews we ate there for dinner. BAD mistake we ordered fried pickles and cheese sticks I should have ran then they were SO greasy the ranch they gave was great though. My son ordered the chicken sandwich that was good and my husband the fired chicken and mashed potatoes which he said was good. The rib eye I ordered for my daughter and I for one was not medium it was well done and FULL of fat hardly any meat. It was INCREDIBLY over seasoned with salt I took one bite and sent it back. The waitress were kind just VERY busy with call in orders we had to chase them down for things. The inside was VERY dirty and so were the bathrooms I ABSOLUTELY do not recommend anything really read more

Very friendly staff. Food is great and large portions. Outside doesn't look great, but don't let that fool you. Pancakes are huge and the biscuits and chocolate gravy is awesome.This place is a hidden gem. I'm glad our hotel did not have breakfast, otherwise we would have never found this place. read more

Burgers had a Delicious taste and the kids loved the ice cream cones. We will be back!

Best cheeseburger in years! Juicy, tasty and yummy !! Fun place and service was great !
