Reviews
We visited on a Saturday evening and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and quickly seated. Service was excellent from the start—our waitress came right over, took our drink and appetizer order, and kept things moving smoothly throughout the meal.
For our appetizer, we ordered the fried mushrooms. They came out quickly, piping hot, and delicious—cut in half, lightly breaded, and cooked perfectly.
For the main course, we ordered catfish with a substitution for the pinto beans. The meals arrived promptly and were overall pretty good. The hushpuppies, while flavorful, were overcooked and a bit dry for my taste, though others at the table enjoyed them just fine. The catfish was served with tartar sauce and pickled green tomatoes—definitely worth asking for if you like a tangy side.
Dessert was the sweet potato coconut crème pie, a unique combination with sweet potato on the bottom and coconut cream on top. The flavors were good, though the sweet potato layer was a little gritty in texture.
The menu is somewhat limited but fitting for a small-town restaurant. Options include nine different burgers, salmon, chicken, meatloaf, chopped steak, and catfish. There are no traditional steaks, but the variety is still solid.
The atmosphere was great—clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience enjoyable.
Overall: Coyle’s is a delightful local restaurant with a warm atmosphere, attentive service, and satisfying comfort food. It’s a nice change of pace for a meal in Prairie Grove, and worth a visit if you’re in the area.
I went with the steak fingers special, and while the steak fingers themselves were okay, tender enough and decently seasoned. However, the sides really let me down. The mashed potatoes were thin and watery, tasting suspiciously like they came from a box of instant mix, and the gravy wasn’t much better. I’ve honestly had more satisfying meals during deployments, which says a lot.
To top it off, I opted for the mac and cheese as an upcharge ($2.50), hoping for something worthwhile, but it was no-kidding boxed stuff; same noodle shape and flavor as a generic Kraft knockoff. I felt totally ripped off paying extra for that. I should’ve taken a picture of the mac and cheese. I cannot believe a restaurant could serve that without hesitation, let alone upcharge for it!
On the bright side, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the place runs smoothly. It’s not a bad spot for a quick bite if you’re not too picky, but for the price, the food quality was a major disappointment. I’d give it another shot maybe for something simpler, but overall, it’s average at best. 3 stars.
Gosh was I shocked. They have some great southern food. I went around 4 o’clock and it was not crowded at all on a weekday. It probably got crowded by the time I left.
Good food . Southern food.
I’ve been there quite a few times. They have a small but good salad bar. Greens and beans are good.
Although I think the beans side should be far larger.
Early October visit 2024- chicken and dressing plate sounds great. There’s just to little chicken in it and not seasoned enough for either of us to ever order it again . And my husband’s pretty easy to impress. We gave that a 2-3.
Please do a turkey and sage dressing next, with whole piece of turkey. Not the chicken dressing plate.
Latest visit- out of all potatoes. What I wanted mainly . Got squash instead. Charged $3 extra. ☹️
But beef steak fingers are great!!!!
The atmosphere: Walking into this beautiful new building, we we’re all in awe. There were about 4 seating areas that I noticed. One area had sports on 2 TV’s. The area that included the salad bar, where we dined, was a little too open and the seats uncomfortable for the amount of time you spend dining. The acoustics (noise level) was a little loud, but not horrible where you couldn’t here people at your table.
The food: The menu had your basic southern foods plus some. Fried catfish, though not on the menu, it was a special that day. The Midwestern burger had the best flavor out of everything ordered at our table. The cheese curds, bacon, and garlic mayonnaise really made the flavors. Seeing the desserts available was nice and helped decide if or what you wanted. Other than the Midwestern burger the flavors were average.
Service: The wait was quite long for our food even though it wasn’t extremely busy. No condiments were on the tables or extra napkins. Tarter sauce didn’t come with the catfish. These two things would have saved our server running around so much. Malt vinegar wasn’t available for the fish. I didn’t bother the server by asking for lemon.
Price: The price was the biggest disappointment of the experience. It was about double what I would normally paid for a family of four. A slider, chicken strips, specialty burger, catfish, with 2 desserts to split.
I would like to try more of the menu, but I can’t afford it.
This place is worth the drive y’all!
