Of course, the food always tastes much better, and eating it makes you feel warm inside, right? It’s the same feeling you'll get when you take the first bite of Myrtie Mae’s food. This old-school Arkansas restaurant has been serving the best down-home cookin’ for years. And the mouthwatering fried chicken dinners are the best around.

Back in the 1920’s, Myrtie Mae's Cafe began in the small kitchen of, you guessed it, Myrtie Mae.

This hard-working mother cooked fried chicken along with some breakfast staples for folks traveling through that Eureka Springs area.

Eventually, Myrtie expanded her business to include cabins for the travelers as well as a cafe where they could have a good hearty meal to eat. Mount Air Cafe kept serving delicious home cooked meals for 20 years.

Today, Myrtie Mae’s Cafe is a no-fuss eatery located inside the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks in Eureka Springs. And best of all, the restaurant is still serving good ol’ down home-style meals.

The menu has a wide variety of choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And each plate is packed with mouthwatering food that will stick to your ribs.

While the menu offers a range of home-style meals, it’s the fried chicken dinners that are the star of the show.

And Myrtie Mae’s knows how to fry chicken, it’s perfectly crispy on the outside and oh sooo juicy on the inside.

It’s bursting with flavor just like grandma used to make it. And one bite of this southern staple and you'll immediately fall in love.

It’s no surprise that this old-school eatery is renowned for its fried chicken dinners that are to die for.

Additionally, you can expect hearty favorites like ribeye steak, oven baked chicken breast, catfish, country fried steak, and more.

You’ll also find grilled beef liver and meatloaf plates that will satisfy your hunger. Each dinner comes with a side salad, a muffin, and a choice of vegetable.

Along with the hearty home cooked meals, patrons love the salad bar that always has delicious homemade soups as well as other fresh fruits, veggies, and sauces.
