Grotto Wood-Fired Grill and Wine Cave

A visit to Grotto Wood Fired Grill and Wine Cave is not just about a place to eat great food. From the beauty of our cave, the smell of our wood fired grill, the taste of our unique flavor combinations, the vibe of our custom music, to the “feel” of our w

We made a reservation for my husband's birthday celebration at Grotto Wood-Fired Grill. We arrived a little early and we appreciated that they fit us in. It is a cozy restaurant, great for a romantic dinner for two. Our server was very amiable. The menu options are similar to that of other nice restaurants, with some unique flavor combinations. We opted for the Filet Mignon, Pork Chop, Asparagus, Macaroni & Cheese and Bread. The steak was cooked a perfect medium-rare and everything was quite tasty. Portions are rather small for the high prices. Good atmosphere, service and food.

Mud Street Cafe

Reviewed By dagmara56

Was there during an October Saturday afternoon, busy but not crowded, no waiting for a table. There were two women sitting behind us with no food at their table, but no way to identify how long they had been sitting there. Husband ordered chicken salad sandwich and I ordered soup and half ham and cheese sandwich. At one point, there was a discussion between the two women at the table behind us and the server, the server returned with a dessert, I assumed it was ordered by these two women, I later discovered the server provided it as an apology for the long wait for their meal. After over half an hour, husband asked the waitress how much longer, she said our order was to be plated after the women behind us. Their food came out, two salads. We did get served after that, just over 45 minutes from our order. Not the server's fault but clearly a problem with the kitchen. Food was ok, not worth the wait. Would not return.

Reviewed By AmyJosie

We had brunch here on Sunday and it was such a lovely experience. Everyone was friendly, we were seated by the windows, and the food was scrumptious. I had a mimosa that seemed as if it were made with fresh squeezed orange juice, and the coffee was excellent. I ordered Eggs Benedict with fried prosciutto, and they were perfectly poached and the hollandaise was light and flavorful. My husband had a beer brat omelet and he enjoyed that very much as well. Our server was attentive throughout, and we never lacked for a thing or felt rushed. The prices are quite fair, and we will absolutely be back, maybe even to try the hotel, as the atmosphere was so relaxed and pleasant, it really made one want to linger.

Reviewed By CrbrS

This place offers both beer and coffee. Fun mix. They only serve Arkansas craft beer so when in Rome... during our sample selection time we had an enjoyable conversation with the owner/employee. She was knowledgeable in the beer. As we enjoyed our beer a steady stream of what seemed to be ‘regulars’ came and went. While located at the end of the Main Street the foot traffic was light. Of note it was a mid-week visit so can’t speak to the weekend activities.

We visited The Sweet n Savory Cafe for breakfast while on holiday in Eureka Springs. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly and soon eating a delicious breakfast. We ordered the S-n-S breakfast, the Fruit Salad Crepes and a Cinnamon Roll to share. The Cinnamon Roll was delicious, and everything else was very tasty too. They had many other home-baked sweet treat offerings. I sure wish I could have tried them all! The Sweet n Savory Cafe definitely has the 'Sweet' covered!

Came to Eureka Springs to enjoy our 6th anniversary and ate at the Gazebo Restaurant and the food was great and the service was awesome. Donna Handley waited on us and remembered us from 3 yrs ago when we ate there celebrating our anniversary. The manager came over and wished us happy anniversary as well. When we left Donna gave us a hug and told us to come back and see her. We will be back next year. Love this place. Best breakfast Buffet in town. Jon & Susan MunzJon & Susan congratulations on your 6th anniversary! Thank you for joining us for breakfast and sharing part of your special occasion during this visit to Eureka Springs.

Local Flavor Cafe

Reviewed By 934katelynn

We stumble on this dog friendly patio, looking for a brunch spot after camping at King’s Outfitters. It was nothing shot of spectacular. The habanero infused bloody Mary’s were amazing, accompanied with a bottle of sparkling Prosecco. The server recommended an amazing stuffed poblano egg scramble with mango salsa that was out of this world, and gingerbread waffles with pecans. I am from Fayetteville and this brunch spot blew me out of the water. The cherry on the cake was my first time to experience biscuits with chocolate gravy, it was like heaven in your mouth. Must try spot, I would be very interested in going back for dinner.

Nibbles Eatery

Reviewed By KPowersKC

We had heard good things about Nibbles online, but going there was even better! We had a very nice breakfast of French toast, bacon and quiche. The lunch menu looked great, too, so we came back mid afternoon for a Cuban Panini and salad, followed by their last piece of carrot cake!The restaurant is quite small but worth the wait if it is full. We highly recommend it!

This place is family owned and operated. They seem really nice and I think they appreciate their customers. They recently opened in Eureka and are beside the Escape Room. I’m happy they have opened in town because they have extended hours and are open later that some of the other places in town. So I can go in and grab a bite or have a cup of coffee. They also have a rewards program, too. I have had their cappuccino and also a sandwich and both were good. I like supporting local businesses and plan on going back. It means a lot when people thank you for patronizing their business. I hope they stay open in Eureka. I can’t wait to try their desserts.
