While everyone else is watching the soccer match, Chef is out here scoring again. ⚽️🥩🦀

For the next two days, our Land & Sea Special features a 10 oz New York strip steak topped with crab cakes, perfectly poached eggs, and creamy hollandaise, served with fresh local Arkansas tomatoes.

Let’s just say Chef wasn’t satisfied with a one goal lead this weekend.

Available through Sunday or until the final whistle blows. ⚽️🍅🥩🦀

Mojo stopped by to make sure our patio was up to his standards. After a thorough inspection, plenty of tail wags, and a few smiles for the camera, we’re happy to report that we passed.

If you’ve been looking for a sign to bring your four-legged best friend to brunch, this is it.

Thanks for the visit, Mojo. You’re welcome back anytime. 💚

This kind of special only happens when Chef gets a craving & it’s looking pretty good too 👀

Three hand-breaded catfish fillets fried to a golden crisp, served with Chef’s housemade tartar sauce, creamy coleslaw, and two hush puppies on the side.

Lucky for us, he decided not to keep this craving to himself 🥳🎉

Available this weekend while it lasts.

Weekend Special Time & this week we’re taking it back to breakfast 🍓🥞😘

Starting tomorrow through Sunday, we’re serving up fluffy strawberry pancakes topped with fresh strawberries from the local market, crushed pistachios, rich chocolate ganache drizzle, and house made whipped cream. Served with your choice of protein!!

Sweet, fresh, a little over the top, and exactly the kind of breakfast a summer weekend calls for. 💚✨

☀️ Summer starts now at Best Cafe.

Chef is kicking off the season with this seared tuna masterpiece. Perfectly cooked tuna, fresh slaw, and just the right amount of heat to remind you that summer is here.

Light enough for a warm Arkansas afternoon, filling enough to keep you going. Pair it with your favorite patio drink and call it a good start to summer.

Available this weekend while it lasts. 🐟🍴💚

Today means a little more to us at Best Cafe. 🇺🇸

Many may not know, but we are a family business and our son proudly served 6 years in the United States Army. Memorial Day will always carry a deeper meaning in our hearts because of the sacrifices made by so many families, friends, and fellow service members.

Today we honored SPC Riley J. Moore, one of our son’s Army brothers who unfortunately never made it home, along with all of the brave men and women who gave everything for this country.

From our family to yours, thank you to all who have served and especially to those we remember today. ❤️🤍💙

Memorial Day weekend at The Best Cafe 🇺🇸

First time we’ve turned our famous chicken into strips and baskets. Same seasoning and batter y’all already know, served up with fries and our housemade honey mustard 🍯🍟

We’ve also got a shrimp salad croissant with fresh fruit for anyone wanting something a little lighter this weekend 🥐🍓

Safe to say chef didn’t believe in keeping things boring for the holiday weekend.
