Upon entry, you get in line to choose from a variety of meats (breaded fried pork chops, chicken, pigs feet, etc.) and numerous side item options. I went with the pork chops, greens, dressing, and cornbread. The pork chops were perfectly moist and delicious. I found that the greens were overly salty, and had an odd aroma. The homemade cornbread was excellent with butter. It was nice to have a dedicated/assigned waitress to provide me with silverware, iced tea, etc. She was both sweet and efficient. Unfortunately, their worn-out and cracked plastic plates need to be retired from service. I liked the casual atmosphere, with oldies Soul music playing in the background. I'll probably return, but will make sure that my plate isn't defective.

This might change in the future but what I hope they don't change are their burgers. There is girth, flavor, and substance in the patties. You get the overall deluxe fixings like lettuce tomato red onion ketchup mustard mayo BUT you can customize your toppings. Aside from the pretty stellar burger, the side of onion rings wasn't too bad either. Crisp, filling, satisfying. The cole slaw is nothing to write home about but slaw is slaw so it works. Overall, I was more than satisfied. I'm very tempted to go back and try their breakfast menu and hopefully their Sunday soul food. It was a great local food experience and I hope this cafe does extremely well for years to come! Thanks for the burger recommendation.

This was like a down home, local Dennys that a people obviously enjoyed as the place was packed on a Sunday morning. Our group had everything from omelettes to cheese grits, skillets to pancakes, and some darn good coffee! The service was quick, our waitress was very friendly and took great care of us. Being from the west coast, we figured 6 of us would be in the $125 range with tip. The whole meal was something like $80 with tip, coffee and a plenty to snack on! They even gave us coffees to go.

This establishment is actually located at the southwest intersection of U.S. Highway 79 and U.S…read more Highway 70, within the unincorporated area of Shearerville, Arkansas (due south of I-40 Exit 265). They sell fishing tackle, and act as a convenience store and grill for the nearby Jenette, Arkansas community. As a common consequence for the convenience of the existence of rural stores, the prices for their merchandise are rather high. I do like supporting independent retailers, so I try to purchase things from small businesses that I might ordinarily buy from my normal grocery store. I once had them cook-up a cheeseburger for me, but was woefully disappointed that the chef was actively smoking a cigarette while making my food!* This was way too "old school" for me, and made for the disgusting ambiance of polluted indoor air. (* If you dislike cigarette smoking, I would instead recommend going elsewhere: Just over five miles west, on U.S. Highway 70 in Shell Lake, is Lakeside Grocery / Citgo gas station (I-40 Exit 260). There they make pizzas and sandwiches to order, carry liquor, are open later in the evening, sell gasoline/diesel fuel, and don't smoke tobacco inside of their building.)

Reading Kyle's five-star review months ago was the first time I knew about the Center For Southern…read moreFolklore and I was intrigued, but for some reason it was put on the back burner, until I realized the Mayan Apocalypse is approaching. From their website, I found out a girls Jookin' contest would be held at the center one Friday evening and decided to see it for myself, having heard about the style from a dance show (no, it's not Dancing With The Stars). I didn't realize Jookin' was Memphis-born and most dancers are males. Despite starting almost an hour later than scheduled and being slightly disorganized (understandably, as an amateur contest), it was a fun event with a great community feel. As far as my inexperienced eyes could tell, some girls have the potential to "make it" in the Jookin' world. As a first-timer, I found the layout of this place a little confusing. The Jookin' contest was held in the hall, which is at the end of the hallway if you enter from the Belz Museum (another gem!) entrance off Main Street and you will also find a refreshment concession there, but that's not where they sell the peach cobbler raved by a previous reviewer, at least not that evening. The peach cobbler (which unfortunately did not impress me), along with gifts, works of art, a limited selection of food and drinks (including beers), is sold at the store off Main Street two doors down from the Belz entrance. The store is also where they normally host live-music events. As soon as I stepped inside the colorful, funky store, I was sold, so I dragged the hubby there the very next evening for the Deering & Down performance, despite knowing very little about them (yes, we had been living under a rock). As a music venue the store holds about 40 seats -- including a few tables and a few rows of seats -- plus some standing room. It's casual and intimate, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. But it turned out to be more than enjoyable. It was exhilarating thanks to the knockout performance by the duo (plus special guests) who rocked their hearts out for almost three hours non-stop. Live music doesn't get much better than this! The ticket prices are very very affordable ( a mere $5 for Deering & Down!). The crowd is a mix of locals and out-of-towners. In fact, a business woman from NYC at the table next to ours also went to see the Jookin' contest like I did the night before and was thoroughly impressed. In short, you owe yourself a visit! If the world still stands after tomorrow.

Today was not my first time at the Center for Southern Folklore. I love their music festival…read more It's free and features a ton of local talent. Actually, I saw John Paul Keith & the 145's for the first time there & feel in love with their music, instantly. In addition to the festival, the Center has some unique gifts. They sell everything from t-shirts, postors, local art, local food (Rendezvous spicy popcorn, ugly mug coffee & sometimes - when you're lucky - local honey), and random, quirky souvenirs. I ventured to here for their brown bag lunch & music today. It's a great opportunity to check out someone new (to me). The inside of the store has a funky design; plenty of bright colors. There's a stage with colorful screen doors as a backdrop. It gives the audience a feeling of watching someone strumming the guitar on their front porch. It's just missing the rocking chairs. They sell beer, so you can have a cold one while listening to some down home music. Also, they have cobbler & a couple of southern inspired sundaes, like pecan pie. Yum!
