I don't know if I just caught them on a bad day, but..... It took 15 minutes to order, 1 hr 5 minutes to get our food. Both of our burgers were burned. By burned, I don't mean very well done. I mean they both had the burned flavor to them. Â Crazy crowded. But that is to be expected during a bike rally. Â We wanted pie, but the waitress said it would take forever to get some so we decided not to.
Review Source:Was getting kind of hungry when I rode the Harley into this little burg and see motorcycles lining both sides of the street in front of this place. Â I always like to eat where Harley's are out front. Â Sat at the counter like a bar/soda fountain. Â Newspaper menus and soda syrup were where there would be liquor bottles lining the back bar. Â Perky high school kids are the staff. Â I asked Brigitte if I should get the Club Sand or a burger, she said everybody gets a burger, try the club. Â It was special with lots of bacon and great thick toast. Â Luv this place in the middle of nowhere that caterers to the motorcycle crowd. Â The staff wore shirts with the bar & shield logo combined with the Ozark Cafe name. Â Must stop for hungry motorcyclists, she tempted me with a shake, maybe next time.
Review Source:Enjoyed a fabulous breakfast here on a rainy Saturday morning. Big breakfast of eggs and bacon with great hash browns that were not too greasy and the best homemade biscuit and gravy. I even topped it off with a huge pancake. Just one-I couldn't finishe it! I would eat here for breakfast again when we are in the Buffalo River area for sure.
Review Source:Hard to criticize a place that's been in business since 1909. Â There's not a lot of cuisine on offer in Jasper, but the Ozark Cafe is reliably good. Â I usually have breakfast there, and it's a no-frills affair...impeccably prepared Southern breakfast, with one of the most delicious gravies I've ever had. Â Cheap prices, great atmosphere...hard to find anything wrong with it.
Review Source:This place is on the New Yorker Magazine list of Top 100 Restaurants to visit....but I'm not sure why it's on there. We swung by here on our trip to the Arkansas Ozarks / Buffalo River Valley area because it seems to be on all the travel guide itineraries. Yes, the place is one of the oldest restaurants still around (est 1909), but the food was just average diner tasting. We ordered the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken, both were bland and only tasted better with the gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy and the green beans tasted like something you'd get from your school cafeteria. The salad bar was pitiful with iceburg lettuce chunks, a few carrots, broccoli, and lots of canned fruit (peaches, pineapples, etc), some cottage cheese, and then fatty dressings. Yuck. Now, don't get me wrong, the food wasn't gross....it just wouldn't go on my list of Top 100 restaurants in the U.S.
Review Source:3rd time eating here  1 st time good, 2nd time fair this time not so good.  Waitress was fine but tried to hurry us to order.  Selected the 1 lb burger with all the fixing + fries. The burger was overcooked and would have thrown it out at home.  I would find some other place to eat which is possible in little Jasper.
Review Source:First time visitor last weekend. Â Located on the courthouse square in Jasper in Newton County, it's almost like stepping back in time when you walk inside. Â Lots of dark woods and a long soda fountain counter just to the right. Â Two separate dining room areas.
The menu is printed on newspaper, and is very large and offers a great many selections. Â It takes awhile to read through it and make a decision. Â
The place was very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Â My lunch was quite good with attentive service and reasonably priced too. Â Several people were sitting around outside the entrance just enjoying the beautiful day. Â
I can see why this cafe has been around for 100 years and still going strong. Â I'm a new fan and look forward to returning to try something else.
No thank you.....we came because of the other review a and were very disappointed. Â
      Cheese fries---small hand full of pitiful fried with hardly and cheese melted
      Blue cheese burger-----great sauce, but burger way over done
      Chicken fried steak-----ok, I've had much better
      Salad bar-----food wasn't cold, warm cottage cheeses not my thing, there was some kind of chicken salad that the waitress couldn't tell me what was in it (fatty chicken)
 It took forever to get our drinks refilled and our check...flies everywhere...we won't be back!
Sometimes you come across a place that has been around forever, and its just mediocre; there's no excitement or passion as the same old things are served over and over, and the locals take it because there are no other options.
Ozark Cafe is certainly NOT one of those places. Â Though it has been around forever, and some of its menu items probably haven't changed much during the last century, the locals (and tourists) flock here because the atmosphere is delightful and the food is Great!
We were informed that menu items are added regularly, and I got to try a couple of the new items. While I wasn't too thrilled with the interesting flavors in the green chile burger, it was an inventive twist to a classic burger. Â I was blown away, however, by a pasta dish with marinara sauce which was simply spectacular!
This is definitely THE place to eat in Jasper. Â It also seems to be the place to grab a beer and enjoy some live music.
Stepping into Ozark Cafe is like stepping back in time into the early 1900s. The walls and tables of the original section of the cafe are plastered with classic black and white photos of people in old western clothings. The menu is printed on a newspaper like material which adds to the quaint ambiance.
This cafe has been in operation even before the titanic sank! The choice of food here is pretty extensive and you may get overwhelmed deciding what to order. But hey! Choices are great!
The grilled chicken & vegetable pasta with Marinara sauce is sooo good! The green chile burger was interesting but not something I would order again. BTW the huge sundaes and pies looked really tempting but my tummy left me no room for dessert :(
Definitely a great historical cafe to visit!
On the advice of a conservation agent in the Buffalo National River area, we ventured into Jasper to sample what was described as the best food in these parts! We were not to be disappointed! Â First of all, the ambience of the place is so warm and homey, yet has an upscale flavor about it. Â Despite the fact that we were there late afternoon on a Tuesday, the cafe was well staffed, and customers were abundant! Â There was even a table where it seemed that locals drifted in and out to have coffee and chat. Â We enjoyed the Ozark burger and fresh cut fries. Â The burger was generous, well dressed and seasoned uniquely. Â The fries themselves ate reason enough to visit this place...absolutely delicious!! Â We also sampled the hand breaded dill pickles which were among the best I've ever had! The Ozark cafe staff is young and hip and so friendly! Â Enjoy a drive through the beauty of the Ozark Mountains and enjoy the Ozark Cafe!!!
Review Source:Good home town food.
Had the Saturday breakfast buffet. Overpriced, small selection, some of it cold. Â So why the four stars? Â Great staff, friendly service, felt at home. Â Would probably eat there again and get the same thing. Â Just think if they food was fresh, they had more to choose from, and the price was reasonable.
Don's stay at the Ozark Inn. Â See my review about that. Â Stay at the Oxford Inn. Â Will stay at Oxford every time I ride the Pig Trail (which by the way was beautiful). Â
Make sure you visit Post Winery and Rivertowne Bbq Inc, and skip Wiederkehr Wine Cellars Inc.
Good food in a unique setting. Seems to get a lot busier on the weekends. My group ate there twice during our stay nearby. Chicken nachos were really good. My sister-in-law enjoyed the spinach calzone. Their shakes are also excellent. I can speak for the blueberry, cinnamon, and blackberry all being very tasty.
Review Source:This is a trip back in time,but in the best possible way! Great home cooking and friendly servers and regulars!! I performed here last night for a charity kickoff event and it was fun! If you happen to be in the area,stop in, have something to eat, sit a while and chat with the locals....you will have a blast! Save room for the carrot cake....so delicious!
Also..if you are planning on staying a night or so, get a room at The Front Porch Inn.Owned by the same people who run the Ozark Cafe. The suite we stayed in was adorable,clean and very comfy.Oh...very reasonable as well!
The Ozark Cafe is on the square in downtown Jasper. It recently had its 100dreth year celebration. They have a varied menu ranging from burgers and fries to steaks and pasta. My fave is a grilled chicken sandwich that just about beats any I've ever had. But they also have great salads as well including a Greek and Caesar that are large and delicious. The atmosphere speaks to its Ozark heritage and there are old photos that cover the walls showing views of local people and places from the past. On some Saturday nights (check ahead) there is live music often including the hosts of the restaurant Tim and Mona Ray. Check out their web site for a view inside and a look at their menu.
