Rattlers Den

Fast and Friendly service.  One of three "family" type restaurants in town, it was the family and my favorite.  The chicken friend steak and the chicken strips were both good.  Remembering this is a small town, this place lived up to expectations.  We will come back.

Chicken fried everything!

Friendly prompt service despite knowing they were the only place in town open. Onion rings highly recommend.

Murfreesboro is a small town in Arkansas and its claim to fame is the Crater of Diamonds State Park.  Decent eating places are not easy to find.  We were going to eat somewhere else and drove 13 miles to find the place was closed.  We had passed Rattlers Den the day before and saw the parking lot was crowded but ate at a familiar place in town.  Tonight the sherrif and city police were eating there, so we decided to stop and give it a try.  It is a family run restaurant and the food was really good.  I had the 10 piece fried shrimp dinner with tater tots and a trip to the salad bar.  My wife had chicken quesadillas.  The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the tater tots weren't greasy at all.  The salad bar had the usual fare.  My wife said the chicken quesadillas were really delicious.  We saved room for dessert and the ice box pies we had were really, really good.
The Rattlers Den is family run and has been open only 5 months.  The waitress was friendly and constantly checked to see if we needed anything.
Will eat here again.
