Pig Trail Bypass Country Cafe

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

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.

Absolutely LOVED this place. It's always the stops that are out in the middle of nowhere that make my day. The Hooshburger was amazing, along with the fried mushrooms, which were large and in charge! Cooked perfectly, battered and deep fried, and the fried pickles were awesome. Nice and crunchy and wonderful seasoning. Not too salty, not too peppery. My friends said the Philly, the double cheeseburger and the bacon cheeseburger were fantastic. The Homefries were amazing too. Nice and crispy skin with a touch of soft, chewy potato insides. Seriously stop by this little place if you're headed to Pig Trail to ride, nice little diamond in the rough. They also have a shop inside that brought up nostalgic memories for me, I wish I would have had room in my bag to buy what I saw.

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!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Love the fried mushrooms!

I didn't go in or anything. I was traveling through and needed to use their wifi. I will say, the ppl are nice here and didn't mind me sitting in my car using the wifi the whole time while I waited on someone. If you're scared of the mountains, extremely sharp turns, huge drop offs and hills on turns, then you won't like the Pig's Trail. This is a very dangerous road through the mountains. I'm glad they finally put railings up on some of the route and no longer allow semis through. The last time I went through when they were allowing semis through, I was in a Ryder with my Dad & sister. We were going down the mountains and it's so consistent on the brakes, that they started to smoke. Back then, they also had sand pits for anyone who ran into any troubles with their vehicles on the way down. I've seen semis at the bottom of many straight drop offs. It's much safer now of course, but the turns are so sharp on some that you have to slow down to 5 mph unless you want to fly off the edge. It may be dangerous, but it's very beautiful. If you're one that can't do without your cell phone, then, stay off the route, because mother nature is going to demand your complete attention the whole time. Why would you want to miss it anyway?! It's some of the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen! This road is very well known for groups of motorcycles and off road vehicles to voyage off on adventures. It has a comrodery feel to it. Just relax and take it slow and easy and you'll be just fine.

We had BLT's and fries. Very good. The owner came out to ask for our opinion and any suggestions to make it better. We're going oing back next week.

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).
