Omg, this restaurant was absolutely incredible, their BLT was to die for, no one can compare! The women were the sweetest ladies and their service was outstanding 5 stars easily!! A must visit!!
Our server was excellent and on top of things! Prices weren't too bad and the food came out fast and delicious! The dining room is quite small so if they are ever super busy, that might be a problem. I definitely recommend this place.
Our fried fish meals were awesome! Not greasy, and the fish was done! The portions were large, the waitress was sweet, and the meal was affordable. The decor is simple, but we went to get a good meal and not for the decor. We will return! You all did a great job!
Located in a little building right next to the court house. The building does not disguise it previous life. Without question at one time a Mexican restaurant. El Taco Casa to be exact. If you have wasted your morning at the Dardanelle Motor Vehicle Office trying to get that car title cleared up, or just paid that $200 speeding ticket at the Yell County Court house, you could probably use a cup of coffee or lunch right now. No need to move your car, you can walk over to Fowlers Restaurant. Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, their diner menu covers just about everything. A burger and a salad for us. Good chef salad with crispy chicken and a burger with a hand mashed patty, all the fixings and a side of crinkle cut fries. Don’t get in a big hurry. Every thing is made fresh. It’s tasty and a typical for a good little small-town restaurant. Friendly service.
Excellent food and service! They had me at chocolate gravy! I grew up with this delectable gravy and it did not disappoint!! Bill had the True Grit meal and it was delicious. We will be back again!
Wow, talk about home cooked meals and hospitality, they got it 100%. Everyone was so friendly and the chicken fried steak, okra and corn nuggets were brilliant. Drove out of the way to get here but it was well worth it. We had coconut pie and it was perfect. Food was reasonably priced too. Yumm yumm.
I was looking for a place to eat before we went to Mt Magazine, and I'm telling you, if you're in the area stop in this little place. The chicken fried chicken, The southern fried steak dinner, And the steak sandwich were delicious!!!!!! Try some of their ranch dressing on the fried okra It is pretty dog gone good . :) Enjoy
This is the first time I have been here at Fowlers restaurant in Dardanelle. I will have to say if I lived closer I would be here most days. The food was just OUTSTANDING no chlorine flavored eggs no burnt eggs just all beautiful eggs on my plate. I had the cheese omelette with toast, my wife has the hame and cheese omelette she was very pleased with the quality of cooking that came out. The coffee was so good not bitter or burnt perfect. If you are in the Dardanelle area stop in and meet the friendly staff at Fowlers there will be no disappointments doing this. It is a small restaurant it is a little hard to find just google Fowlers it is behind the Dardanelle/Yell county court house Annex building. Again go here for a beautiful breakfast or lunch, I am not sure if they serve dinner or not but the food is amazing. They do have a drive through which is good for the folks on the run.
