Full service restaurant featuring lunch and dinner.We feature a full bar, three dining areas, beautiful patio seating. Situated overlooking the beautiful Indian Hills Golf Course.

Reviewed By Mister_Boffo - Conroe, Texas

This is a small restaurant located by a golf course and some historical points of interest. It has a prominent full bar -- not easy to find in a dry county. The food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Our server was the best...MoreThank you so much for visiting Little Red at Indian Hills.

Janssen's Lakefront Restaurant

Reviewed By malonelewis - Marianna, Arkansas

We went for breakfast/brunch yesterday. The food was pretty good- the gravy was way over-peppered and the eggs Benedict had an 'off' taste- like something wasn't good used in the recipe. Other than that, the food was really good. However, it was $69 before tip for me, my husband and 2 kids. It was not worth that. My daughter ate 2 pieces of cantaloupe and my son had one mini waffle.

The Mona Lisa

Serves breakfast and lunch.

Reviewed By ozarkianamerican - Mountain Home, Arkansas

Had read about the Mona Lisa and finally had an opportunity to try it for lunch. My husband and I chose burgers off the extensive burger list and I had the bacon mushroom Swiss which was delicious! There was also a buffet which looked yummy. The owner does the cooking and the waitressing and is very sweet. The restaurant is full of memorabilia you can look at till your food is ready. I will be happy to eat here again the next time I have the chance.

Large Mouth Pizza

Reviewed By Caronltaylor

Excellent!! By far the best place we've eaten around here. Large pizza and small cheese stick was enough for our family of three to eat twice. Called in, picked up, order was correct and ready in 15 minutes.

Daylight Donuts

Reviewed By otolith - Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom

I was in the mood for an indulgent taste of real America and these donuts certainly hit the spot. Made fresh every morning these are the perfect donut - no mass-production or high fructose corn syrup here! Staff are friendly and welcoming and the restaurant also offers breakfasts and other foods. Definitely worth a stop in my book!

Bentley's

Reviewed By Texasmom2boys2014 - Dallas, Texas

After reading the Trip Advisor reviews, we set out to find Bentley's while staying in the Fairfield Bay Area. We arrived about 5:30 on a Friday evening along with lots of locals who came in after us! A seafood buffet was being offered which included jumbo boiled shrimp...all of the items we sampled were excellent. Loved the vegetables (turnip greens and green beans, etc.). Service by a young lady was on point during our entire meal.

For some reason I never made it to the other location. I am sorry I didn't but now there is a location at the Fairfield Bay Marina. We tried the pulled pork, ribs and BBQ nachos which all were excellent. It has become a habit....MoreThank you for coming to the marina and trying us out! Come see us at our main location after our season is over at the Marina. We are open all year at our Hwy 330S location.

This is one of the few local places actually open early on a Sunday for breakfast so great start!

The decor is country style with tools hung against corrugated iron covered walls. It's a decent attempt. The restaurant itself is diner style. No pretensions here. Staff are friendly and attentive.

We had breakfast here. Simple bacon, eggs, hash browns and biscuits with gravy served simply. No flair. Tasted good but from the point of view that it's what you'd expect. Gravy needed salt.

The lunch buffet was being readied while we ate an the fried chicken and meatloaf did look delicious.

Overall, decent but not outstanding. This is where you come to Dr your fill and it does that well.
