The Charming Restaurant In Small Town Arkansas That Looks Like Home And Tastes Like Heaven

The Wooden Spoon in Gentry offers delicious home-cooked meals in a charming, historic setting.

The Wooden Spoon is a delicious out-of-the-way eatery that looks like home and tastes like heaven. You won't find anywhere that quite has the same amount of charm without driving back to your childhood home. Let's take a bite of these scrumptious home cooked meals.

The iced tea is always sweet and the hospitality is nothing but southern at the Wooden Spoon.

This cozy cabin in Gentry is the Wooden Spoon. It's a short drive south of town at 1021 S Gentry Blvd., Gentry, AR 72734.

You'll instantly feel at home as soon as you step on the porch.

The restaurant has been open for nearly a decade but the building's history dates back much further. The structure was originally built to be a horse barn around 1870 in Michigan but was later disassembled and moved to Gentry. Since then, the Klassen family has preserved the original building as well as added a larger dining hall.

They even have an adorable little shop to peruse.

It's filled with home decor, printed flour-sack tea towels, homemade greeting cards, and more.

Every entree tastes like a fantastic home cooked meal.

Whether you order a savory meat and potato dish or a crispy garden salad, the made-from-scratch wholesomeness makes every meal simply taste like heaven.

And of course your out-of-this-world experience wouldn't be complete without dessert.

Their Bumblebee Pie is simply divine but so are the brownies. If you're having a difficult time choosing a sweet we suggest ordering the Dessert Sampler. It's three surprisingly large portions off their dessert menu that will satisfy every sweet tooth craving.
