Food was very good, almost couldn’t eat it all. Server was amazing. Very nice and attentative. I actually really liked the decor and atmosphere of the place, but it felt uneven. Like half was themed and the other half felt a bit empty. But all in all good experience.

After seeing several posts about the weeknight catfish special at Neal’s Café in Springdale, AR, I decided to check it out for myself. The special runs Tuesday through Saturday after 4pm and features all-you-can-eat catfish with sides — seemed like a perfect excuse to meet up with my parents for dinner and do a little review.
We were welcomed to seat ourselves and greeted quickly by a very friendly and attentive server. Within just a few minutes, we had drinks and our orders in. I went with the fried squash and mashed potatoes with brown gravy for my sides.
Our meals arrived in about 8–10 minutes and everything looked great on the plate. But as we all know, looks can be deceiving. Unfortunately, that was the case here. The catfish turned out to be Swai — lightly seasoned and cooked well, but lacking flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy were just okay, and the fried squash didn’t seem to have any seasoning at all.
While the service and atmosphere were both solid, the food just didn’t deliver for me. It’s not something I’d likely return for.
Rob Score: 5.0/10.0

The food was pretty good. Had fried chicken with taters and gravy. The crust on the chicken was very good. Had chocolate pie as desert and it was old school grandma pie. I really wanted pecan but they were out. Atmosphere is one of history. The place has been there forever. Multi million dollar deals have taken place there with a handshake from the Tyson family and other high end names.

The staff is friendly and professional. The food is generous in portion sizes. The pricing is fair. The restaurant is clean with abundant parking. I ordered their famous cinnamon roll and coffee, which was very delicious. I am very satisfied. The only inclination for a four star rating would be because of my long wait to receive my order. My waitress explained she was not pleased with the first cinnamon roll. She requested another cinnamon roll to be prepared for me.
My waitress ensured my coffee cup was never empty. Sheila is excellent.
I enjoyed my visit and will definitely return. I encourage anyone looking for a wonderful family atmosphere, offering delicious entrees. Come try this place out!

My friend in Springfield kept going on about Neal’s. So when I had the chance to visit, I jumped at the chance.
First off, friendly staff. Made you feel like a long lost friends.
Second. Server was really helpful with our menu choices. Then went to the next level to provide the best service ever. We both ordered fried Jalapeños. So they fried those first and brought it out as a sort of appetizer. Best ones I’ve ever eaten hands down.
Third. Both meals were scrumptious. In fact I’m eating their leftovers as I type this.
My friend said he’d come back for a weekend visit just to eat here. He lives in Kansas City, MO. If that’s not a declaration of love; I don’t know what would be.

Underwhelming food. Not sure what ask the excitement is about this place. The mashed potatoes were instant. The gravy tasted as such. The portions were small and the prices did not match the quality or portion.
The server even removed my plate before I was finished eating trying to rush us out when they didn’t close for 30 more minutes.
**Edit. I wish I had taken photos, but I didn’t because the food was so bad. The chicken fried steak was so small and tasted like it was fried in the oldest oil.
The owner replied that the mashed potatoes are peeled every day. Well congratulations, because you’ve managed to make real potatoes taste like instant mashed potatoes. You must be doing something right!
I would have loved to have given this place a great review but it was not great and the portions were quite small.
I also had the chocolate pie and was very disappointed

I had the fried chicken dinner with grilled squash, fried squash, and mashed potatoes with gravy. While it was good, my biggest compliment was that NOTHING was seasoned. I had to salt everything. The service was great. Our server brought us a sample of the chicken and dumplings that was the daily special…completely free. I will be back the next time I am in Arkansas.

I stopped in after reading the reviews, which some were mixed. 5 stars here! The food and service was excellent. Oh, try the homemade desserts too!

The waitress was very nice, but the food is overpriced and not good. The meal I ordered was dry, smelled “off” and, after one bite, knew was old meat. In addition, the vegetables were tasteless and greasy. A complete waste of our time and money! Lastly, we were over charged, even when I questioned the manager/owner about the price. Will not go back.
