Pig Trail Bypass Country Cafe

This is such a fun and unique dining experience. Our burgers were excellent and made fresh to order. The store attached offers interesting items for purchase. There are also yummy fried pies for sale at the register. We loved this place. Will definitely be back. 10/10 highly recommend

This place has character. Quiet, quaint...nothing but the sound of a grill and whirring ceiling fans which I note are all of a different make a model adding a "history" vibe. Building has been around a while and is somewhat in the middle of nowhere, perfect for bikers. Pricing was totally fair market, maybe better. Appears they have live music at times. The whole scene is modest, authentic, and simple. Was served by a lady named Jesse (sp?) who was just as lovely as she was tatted up. She was engaging and well-mannered - professionally flawless. Highly recommend and will definitely be back with a buddy next time just to promote this hidden gem.

Great food. Great service. Super friendly. Big portions. Family style restaurant. Definitely worth the stop!

I'll order the party melt anywhere I go that has one. The patty melt here took me by surprise for a little spot where the stops are few and fsr between. Top 3 I've ever had for sure! We came in fairly close to close and the staff welcomed us and we're very friendly. The convenience store offers a decent selection of drinks and alcohol. There's several shelves of thrift store type items to peruse while you wait for your food. There's a single working gas pump and it's the old mechanical style with only 87 offered, and you need to prepay inside. The atmosphere is 'cabin in the woods' style and there's a lot to look up but definitely not for the politically correct crowd.

We wanted to get out of the house and take a day drive. Google suggested Pig Trail and when I looked it up on Google Maps, it suggested the cafe, as well. It was a beautiful drive thru the Ozarks and the famous Hooshburger was fantastic!!! The owner was welcoming and personable. Highly recommend!!

I love their burgers and fried pickles. Sweet tea on the weekends only but it's so good. There mushrooms are homemade. You have got to try this place. It's a one-of-a-kind experience and you'll want to have it again and again.

We really enjoyed our dinner here! The patty melt was our favorite and the bacon cheeseburger was delicious as well. The onion rings were just right, not too greasy, just the right amount of crunch. Super fast service and friendly employees. It's a pretty drive to get here and we'll worth the drive from NWA. Recommend!

Can I say enough about the people at this place. Nice helpful friendly. The food was great the breakfast food and the burger was awesome. We had a little issue with my friend tripping and hurting himself in the parking lot and I can't express how grateful we were for all of the quick and kind assistance. Just awesome people all around. This is the fourth time we've been here and it's been fantastic every time. But today took the cake. Lots of different kinds of people there and motorcycle friendly. Totally recommend this place.

Nice place to stop for fresh made lunch while exploring the Arkansas hills. The food and service was great. Nice country store atmosphere.

This was the best burger I have had in a long time. Taste like the dairy bar that was by our house when I was growing up. Homestyle fries were so delicious! Service was great! We will definitely be back when we come through that way.

Finally stopped here after YEARS of recommendations from my friend that we visit a few times a year. It was a Tuesday afternoon in winter, so not crowded. Service was great. Hooshburger lived up to the hype. Great seasoning! Wonderful fries and onion rings too. Glad we split the burger, as there's no way I could have eaten the whole thing.

KINGPIN REVIEW Road tripping 2021 Pig Trail Thanks for the memories Good coffee and tasty breakfast

Great place to grab a burger and relax! Love it! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful!

We really love the food here were from texas and everytime we pass through the pig trail we eat here but recently we went and the janitor was hitting on my daughter he even came to the car after we were leaving we were very creeped out!

Crosses has accomplished what we tried to do with our authentic English fish & chips food truck last year - serve food that didn't rely on salt for flavor. The Brits in Bentonville loved us, but the Americans didn't get it. Then we meet this Persian guy on the Pig Trail and he's got the whole process down pat. The locals love him, and we mean older couples and kids all coming and going while we were there, having a quick chat and a friendly word. The food was tasty, no salt required. Eddie loved his fried mushrooms and bacon-cheese burger. I asked if the French fries were cut in the kitchen or from frozen and the owner said if I wanted cut fries, he'd cut them. They were awesome! Drinks came from the cooler and since I never get any dessert because they're all made with whey, I picked mine from the snack aisle on the store side. Works for me. :)

Sometimes some of the best food is where you least expect it. We were out for a drive in the Ozarks and just before we lost service we found a Pigs Trail Cafe on a list of the best diners in Arkansas and it just so happened we were near Elkins. This place is a gem. It's a combination of a grocery store, gas station, and diner all in one. The food is outstanding! I had the Hooshburger and my wife had the bacon cheeseburger. Now the Hooshburger is inspired by the chef/owner and is a blend of Persian spices. They just happen to blend perfectly with the burger patty and makes for a mouth watering treat. The bacon burger is delicious as well with the bacon providing the perfect finish to the burger. Finally the onion rings are amazing! I tend to hate onion rings because the onions never stay in place but somehow Pigs Trail figured out how to keep them in place. The drive out there is gorgeous and the food as well as the service made the trip even better. Don't pass this place up by any means!

Love this little store! It's very cute, country and down home style. And everyone knows the famous Hooshburgers are fantastic :)

It doesn't look like much from the outside, or the inside really, but really good food. I had a great burger and my wife a good salad. Excellent handcut fries. The owner is very nice and friendly and provides efficient service. Well worth the visit. Highly recommend.

Place is a little bit of a dive but the staff is friendly. The bathrooms pretty much stay out of order and the soda machine is perpetually broken. Try the hooschburger! It's pretty darn good and the fried mushrooms are fresh not frozen. Great place for hunters and bikers.

Crosses Cafe, home of the famous Hooshburger is a place that everyone should visit at one point in their lives. It has inspired t shirts and even a song (check it out at Hawkzilla.com).
