I love that you get 3 veggie choices side salad and a meat. They also have chocolate, lemon and coconut pies. I love all 3... The ladies there are super nice and friendly! This is a great choice Monday-Friday lunch hours only . read more

I have ate here for probably 30 years. Always the best food served with a polite staff. Although I don't live close, if my travels take within 30 miles, I go grab a plate and a slice of pie. read more

Town House Restaurant - a bowl of soup and a bowl of beans and greens - American Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

The food is standard, but pretty bland to me. You need to come early rather than later because they run out of food. They have very limited seating, only about 6 tables, so you may have to wait for a seat. It's a "modified buffet" style that's pretty popular in El Dorado restaurant serving basic country food. They have 2-3 entrees that you can pick from and 6-8 sides. They put your food on your plate and you don't get to go back for seconds like you would in a traditional buffet unless you pay for it. This type setup is pretty standard for the area, though. Service is good, but the staff I dealt with the few times I went there were kind of cold and distant, like they really didn't care that I was there. I did note a different attitude with their regular customers, so I guess it was just because they don't know me, and I'm not from the area. read more

Best home cooking in town !!! Best people and great service. Got to try the hot water cornbread

I'm surprised nobody has rated this place. It has been in business for quite a few years. I'm going to rate the lunch/buffeteria part. They usually offer about 3 meat items per day along with a number of sides/salads. It is focused toward southern homestyle/soul food. They have fried/baked chicken, fried pork chops, beef tips, catfish, and a couple others I forget. The sides usually include greens, black eyed peas, beans, squash, and more. You really receive a big portion of food for the money. Their pies are also very good as well but I'm usually too stuffed to eat dessert. There is no sign for this on the street so either someone has to tell you where it is or you found it on yelp. It is an attached cafe of a motel. read more

Like to eat here every trip to El Dorado, love the fried chicken an hot water cornbread, try this place, small but you will not be disappointed. read more

The meatloaf special that they have on Wednesdays is pretty good and the older lady that usually runs the cash register is as sweet as she can be. I am only giving 3 starts because the rest of the food is rather subpar at times. Especially when they were serving breakfast. And there is a younger server on the buffet line who seems to have an attitude problem. When I get the meatloaf special, I ask for the gravy on the side because it is usually too salty and she always gives me a look like I asked her to pour ketchup on my ice cream. read more

Amazing food, affordable . The breakfast service is amazing..lunch service is efficient but not as friendly- only in my experiences though -wouldn't stop me from visiting again. read more

Great for lunch, wish they were open for supper as well. Their meats and vegetables are home made and their pies make your mouth water just to look at them ( love that coconut)! The people are so friendly. Call ahead for pickups. read more

Awesome place to eat. Nice people. Great food. I love the veggies they have. Greens, cream potatoes, black eyed peas, and I could just keep going on and on. I also like their main dishes like beef tips and rice. But it's their veggies that lead me to return again and again. read more

Hang on a second while I dust off a word I seldom use. Here it is. Thrilled. I am thrilled to tell you about the Town House Restaurant, but, first, a little history. The Town House Restaurant used to be beside the Town House Motel. It was located near the busiest intersection in town, where Hillsboro crossed North West Avenue. Well, the motel closed years ago (at least I think it did, I'm not sure when) BUT, the restaurant remained open. It wasn't anything fancy, and that is part of what was so great about it, but, the other thing that was great about it was the food. The place was charming, affordable and had good food. Well, I'm not gonna' speculate on yelp as to why they had to move, but, some genius somewhere decided that they had to move so someone else could have their property. You know, that's how it works in America these days. Well, after a long wait, they have finally re-opened in their new location. And what a fantastic location it is - basically, it is now in a residential area. They bought a house and turned it into a restaurant. Its new location is on Griffith Street. Now, it's not big, mind you, but, it is still charming, affordable and the food is still great. In my opinion it's even more charming now. As of this writing there aren't many seats in the new place, but, it looks to me like they have a large enough property to expand their seating. I suspect they will in time. So now, what kind of food is it? Soul Food, Baby! Stuff like smothered steak, hominy, or sausage and cabbage and great greens - you get the picture. BUT, I'm not done yet! They are also well known for doing a great breakfast. If you are going to be in El Dorado for some odd reason, or even for a not so odd reason, you will be doing yourself a favor if you check out the Town House. Next time I go I'll try to remember to take some pics of the new place so I can share them. (Why not five stars? I don't know, I guess I'm just stingy about giving a perfect score to any restaurant. If it weren't for that, I'd give it five stars.) read more

Town House Restaurant - the front of the building - American Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

See all

Pretty straight forward breakfast restaurant. The only complaint I've had is that hash browns don't come with most of the meals and they won't substitute them for the grits that I don't like. So if you like potatoes for breakfast prepare to spend an extra two bucks. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in El Dorado. The staff is great company. Love every single item they serve.
