Meacham's Restaurant

  Meacham's has some SERIOUSLY good food. What these people can do to an onion ring is absolutely diabolical. Everything I've ordered here has been so far beyond what I expected out of a hidden place in a hidden town. The chicken fried steak, pork chops, burgers, even the clam chowder and butterfly shrimp deliciously highlight a truly well rounded menu. I've never been even remotely disappointed with the food here.
  
  However.....
  
  The servers seem to have caught onto the fact that people will come in droves to belly up to their tables no matter what they do. They have to be the most unwelcoming people I've ever seen at a restaurant. Your drinks will probably stay filled, they won't forget about you or anything, but it seems like every trip to your table is an inconvenience for them. They regularly slam the drinks on the table, rush you through the ordering process, never greet you when you walk in the door (the process for getting a table is still a bit of a mystery to me), and definitely don't show any appreciation for you coming in. Also, I'm fairly certain that our last waitress was wearing pajamas. I guess they know that there's nowhere else to go. Why go to all the trouble of being nice? It does save you from having to tip well, though.
  
  I'd still come for the eats, and even though I'll probably have spit in my food on my next trip I bet they'll somehow find a way to make that taste delicious.

  We ate here while vacationing at Crown Point Resort in Horseshoe Bend Arkansas. It was one of the only restaurants that we found open after 8:00 pm in the area besides fast food. It was a small place that didn't look like much but we actually were pleasantly surprised! I ordered the fried shrimp and my husband ordered the fried catfish and both were good. The cole slaw was delicious! The service was very good and I would go there again.

  We took the in-laws here for dinner over our Thanksgiving visit. We really enjoyed the onion rings and thank goodness we got the half order for the four of us to share - it was HUGHE! I ordered the baked chicken breast which was disappointing and looked like it was microwaved. Next time, I'm getting the patty melt. It was HUGE and prepared on thick (Texas toast like) marble Rye bread. The grilled cheese was a hit and enough for two people and filled with a ton of cheese. The staff was super friendly and our drinks were kept filled. The only diet soda was diet Dr. Pepper. We'll definitely go back when we are visiting family in the area.

  I ate here while visiting with my parents at Crown Point Timeshares. I had to try the onion rings as others said they were good and they were great! I had a special of half a baked chicken, baked potato with real butter and sour cream, salad with a homemade italian dressing on the side and crackers, Texas toast and a glass of water as they did not have coke products. My husband had the fried fish dinner, my mother had the same dinner I did and my father had the baked whitefish dinner. These were all equally tasty. Someone was always refilling drinks and taking up dirty dishes. Servers were pleasant, clean and knowledgeable about the food. We took home two carryout containers of food and had no room for desert, which also sounded good!

  We were in the Hardy town area house hunting; THIS I would not recommend.  Meacham's however is one of those finds that ALMOST make you wish you DID live in the area.  I'm an onion ring nut, and these are perhaps the best I've ever had....anywhere.  All the rest I tried was better than just good....it's what you're looking for.  Not a place for health nuts or fry-aversionists.  The real thing...real food for real people!  Well worth a llittle detour out of your way.  Old Hardy town is interesting too in a fudge-eating sort of way (def: a town that has gone all antique shops, gingham cat kutsie stuff and fudge shops)...ie gone fudge-eating.

  This place never disappoints. The ham and eggs are wonderful, they give you a huge ham steak. The cheeseburgers and onion rings are the best anywhere. The only drawback is that it is very small so you can wait a long time during the busy times. The service is very good also. Go hungry! You will for sure get enough to eat!
