Ive dined here twice, and this place has issues.The first time, my food came out cold and I had to send it back, which isnt really a big deal. However, when my new food came out, my egg whites were not set. Somebody in the kitchen isnt paying attention. During my second visit, part of my order was wrong and the potatoes were undercooked for everybody seated at my table. Subpar food for one visit might just be an accident, but for two visits, I figure thats just the way the place operates. Aside from the food, the place doesnt seem to apply any sort of common sense to seating. During my first visit, my friends and I were seated at a cramped table in one of the most high traffic spots in the restaurant, wherein we could either have waitstaff and customers walking behind constantly, or sit back to back in close quarters with other customers. My hair was touching the hair of the woman behind me. Does it really make sense to put your tables so close to each other that the customers have no choice but to become close friends? During our second visit, we were sandwiched directly between two booths with young, energetic children peering over the seats at us. I expect this at the Waffle House or at McDonalds, but not at a place that charges $10 for breakfast. Maybe Im a little bit sensitive, but the combination of mediocre food at poor seating have ensured that my friends and I wont be returning.

What a horrible experience. We walked in at 11:30 (before the Sunday church crowd) and were seated within 5 minutes. Our waitress and the staff were wonderful. After 45 minutes of not receiving our food, we realize only 2 of the tables DID have food. We opted to leave considering the 20 tables who were sat before us didnt have food yet either. Im type 1 diabetic and had taken a dosage of insulin prior to eating. To avoid going into a bout of hypoglycemia we had no choice. We eat here in Rogers a lot and have never had a bad experience but this was just terrible. Wont be going back for sure. We wasted over an hour on beautiful Sunday afternoon sitting in a restaurant with no reward. I hope someone comes in and teaches their kitchen some time management. I dont see how an entire restaurant full of people can sit without food for so long.

I really like the food! Can always get what you want. However, ever since the management change, service has really gone down hill. On Sunday, 4/30/17, the waiting area was packed, going out the door. There were at least 8-10 open tables and booths and they couldnt figure out how to seat people for some reason, then we waited for over 30 mins to get food Just a waffle and eggs, bacon, nothing major. Really need to get back to how they were! Food was good!

This is hands down the best breakfast place we have been to. We were seated promptly although it was quite busy, the waiter was courteous and helpful, checking on us all the time, and the food was delicious. We ordered the salmon frittata (special of the day) and the patriot waffle. Both were superb, as were their fresh juice mixes. Everyone was extremely friendly, with the ownder walking around chatting with customers. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

My daughter and I came here because she dreams of getting to be an egg chef- so clearly this is the place to experience. The portions were large, and our server was excellent in her recommendations then helping us split our dish. My daughter wishes to inform everyone on the internet that the food here is not merely good, but "this is the best biscuits and gravy I have ever put in my mouth, and I love biscuits and gravy and try it all the time"

Great service. My girlfriend and I stopped by to have some breakfast before the drive back to Austin. We were promptly greeted with friendly faces and were seated. Our server was fantastic and had our coffee out in a jiffy. Food came out 5 minutes later. Large portion sizes and everything tastes amazing. Did I mention we each got our own pots of coffee?? Five stars!

Driving thru the state, we decided to stop in for lunch last minute and we found this little gem. The staff were so welcoming and sat us immediately. We all ordered the club and it was seriously the best club Ive had. Everything was fresh and delicious and if you can, try the Kale Cooler!! OMG yes. I will definitely be back when Im in Arkansas again.

They certainly have options not available for breakfast anywhere else in the Fort Smith area. The food i got was good but not officially great. I look forward to trying more on the menu though. I love the options. The service was great. You could tell they are really trying to provide the best service they can. Stop reading and check it out already.

As a die-hard lover of Eggs Benedict and skillet fried diced potatoes (think crispy), I am in gastronomical love with this place. Also the wait staff and owner are genuinely friendly folk. If I can ever force myself to move past the "EB"s, will update. Seriously worth risking a great breakfast here.

My first visit, May 2015; I ordered the b&g with two over easy eggs & fruit. The meal was good, except for the gravy. Very disappointing. It had a spicy (red hot/tabasico?) taste and too runny. If people want their gravy to have that spicy bite, they can doctor it themselves.

Ive been here a few times, love this restaurant. Service has always been good to excellent, all the breakfast options are great (havent been for lunch) Harvest Hash is one of my latest favorites. Very good coffee as well. Not the least expensive place for breakfast.

This restaurant is an absolute Gem. I had a different eggs Benedict for lunch every day for a week while working nearby. The service is outstanding; fast and friendly. What could be better than breakfast for lunch? If only they were open for dinner service...

Eaten here twice first time was nice, the second time was not. My eggs were overcooked, the toast was burned and cold, the potatoes were Luke warm at best, and the service was lousy, I never did get my glass of water, and their coffee is awful.

Loved it, my family picked this restaurant for my sisters baby shower to do a brunch type meal, everything came out perfect and there were 25 of us dining and everyone got their food at the same time and it was all fresh and tasted excellent.

Too crowded. Messed our order up. Took forever to get our food. Server was really sweet and she made the experience better because she was so nice. I wouldnt go there again though. Id rather go to iHop or Dennys. Actually, no iHop hands down.

Food was good. Service sucked. When the waitress sat down with her friend and proceeded to talk rather loudly about her sun burn and how the skin peeled...I was done. And we were across the room from her and heard her.
