    Throwback
    Dave C.

    The Filling Station is basically an old-style diner with more modern food. It has a great variety of breakfast dishes both with meat and without. Portions are good-sized, but not huge. Ideal for most adults. Cool atmosphere with a throwback to earlier days. Popular place; has both indoor and outdoor seating. Our only miss was that we ordered orange juice to go with coffee - never received it - got charged for it. Besides that - things were great.

    Eureka Cake with bacon
    Lorri C.

    This place is amazing! The menu is unique and incredibly tasty! You get a lot of food for the price! I had the BLT on toasted brioche bread. It was perfectly toasted and bacon was crisp. It was $16 and came with 7 slices of bacon. Enough to share with the table The Eureka Cale with blueberries was delightful. If had a sweet vanilla flavor and was slightly crisp! Chicken and waffles was wonderful. Chicken was crispy and it was just the right amount of food. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The place is rather small but it is worth the wait. The service is amazing for such a crowded tight place. They are supper friendly. Love that the bikers are there! You also see a lot of locals-so you know the food is good. It did not disappoint! We were in town from Thursday-Sunday and we went twice!

    Perfect ratio of icing to roll finally!

    Yummy, easy breakfast. Good for my kids and me! Easy to find when passing through Eureka Springs.

    Very delicious cinnamon roll

    Ozark Benny
    Nigel D.

    Wife and I stopped in for a late breakfast. We were greeted and sat right away. Our server did a great job from all aspects. He was polite, friendly and checked in regularly to make sure we didn't need anything. Both of us had the Ozark Benny. It was a good size portion for the money. The eggs ware cooked perfectly, the biscuit was really good. The sausage patties were tasty and well cooked. I do have to say the hash browns were a little over cooked and very crispy, but it was getting close to closing time so I think they had sat on the grill a little bit longer than they should. As for ambiance, they have some music playing and the overall theme is cars and old time garage. The place was clean, all the servers seemed to be on their game, keeping up with their customers and turning tables quickly. I would certainly eat here again if back in the area.

    Fried apple French toast and the breakfast special

    The food here was amazing!! The best breakfast spread. Portions were massive and coffee was delicious. Probably the best pancake I've ever had. This place gets crowded and there may be a wait, but it is well worth it for a good diner style breakfast

    Check out the Filling Station in Eureka Springs, AR!! It's a quaint eating stop for your breakfast mains, nothing extraordinary fancy. We had a great visit in the historic town.. The Filling Station staff will make you feel right at home. I do recommend the breakfast menu, which we ordered from along with a cup of hot coffee... it's basic, but you'll enjoy your visit.

    Biscuit and gravy
    Beth B.

    We pulled up to The Filling Station this morning and my husband said, "Now this is what I'm talking about." We love little local joints to eat at and this did not disappoint. It had a car theme going on in the decor, which was cute and fun. The eggs Benedict with prime rib was the special today, so that's what I got! The lady who served it to me accidentally flipped one of the eggs over, so it's not picture perfect, however it was delicious! I got it with the ham and it was very filling. My husband got the steak and eggs and really enjoyed it. He said the biscuit and gravy was average, but the cinnamon roll was excellent. It was warm and the icing melted all over it. Service was great! Bathrooms were clean! We would definitely eat here again if in town!

    Pancake and Bloody Mary
    Alexis J.

    This place was packed! But we had a wonderful waiter that was very nice and helpful. The ribeye was amazing and cooked perfectly. The omelet lacked cheese but it was all fresh veggies and the meat was cooked to perfection. Pancake was absolutely delish too! We were pleased to see bloody Mary's and mimosas on the menu!! The bloody was just alright, but we love zing zang mix with lots of seasoning. We will stick with mimosas next time!

    The food was par but very slow getting our food. Parking is very tight. We would probably not go back due to our choices.

    Sometimes the Memory Is Better Left Alone: A Disappointing Return to Sparky's Roadhouse…read more I remembered Sparky's Roadhouse as a place of great burgers, familiar surroundings, and happy family memories. When I finally returned to the Eureka Springs restaurant after many years away, I expected to rediscover that same experience. Instead, the visit quickly showed me how far the Sparky's of today seemed to have fallen from the one I had cherished. After many years away, my wife and I recently had the opportunity to return to Sparky's. I was genuinely excited about it. I remembered the restaurant as a fun, casual Eureka Springs favorite with great burgers, a unique atmosphere, and the kind of personality that made you look forward to coming back. Unfortunately, the Sparky's I visited this time bore very little resemblance to the restaurant I remembered. The disappointment started with the menu. The selection seemed diminished from what I remembered, and what was once an easy decision because so many things sounded good became a struggle to find something that interested me. I ultimately went with a burger, thinking that at least I could revisit one of the things I remembered and loved most about Sparky's. That nostalgia disappeared when the burger arrived. The burger seemed surprisingly small compared with what I remembered from years ago. More importantly, it simply wasn't very good. I would describe it as mediocre at best. It wasn't necessarily the worst burger I've ever had, but that almost made the experience more disappointing. This was Sparky's, a place where I remembered the burgers being something worth talking about. What I received this time was forgettable and nothing like the burgers that had helped make the restaurant a favorite of mine and my family years ago. The service unfortunately did nothing to improve the experience. On this visit, I found it inattentive and frustrating to the point that I would describe it as dismissive at best. A restaurant can sometimes overcome an average meal through friendly, attentive service and genuine hospitality. That wasn't my experience here. Even more concerning to me was the condition of the restaurant itself. During our visit, the seating and countertops appeared dirty, and there were numerous flies throughout the interior dining area. The overall environment simply did not give me the impression of the cleanliness and attention to detail I expect from a restaurant. One of the food items also did not taste right to me, which, combined with what I was observing around the dining area, made it difficult to enjoy the meal. I recognize that restaurants change. Menus evolve, ownership and employees may change, costs increase, and the restaurant industry has faced challenges that didn't exist years ago. I also understand that a single visit represents a snapshot in time and may not reflect every customer's experience or every day of operation. But that doesn't change the disappointment of this particular visit. I returned to Sparky's hoping to reconnect with a place tied to some of my family's happiest memories. Instead, the meal, service, and condition of the restaurant made it clear that the Sparky's I remembered exists only in the past. Nostalgia had preserved it perfectly, but returning replaced that warm memory with disappointment. For that reason, I won't be returning... not because the past meant nothing, but because it meant too much to risk revisiting it again. Sometimes the best way to preserve a cherished memory is to leave it where it belongs: in the past.

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.
