Skylark Cafe

I had the Apple Walnut Salad (Seasoned grilled chicken on a bed of mixed greens with crisp green apple, dried cranberries, gorgonzola crumbles, house candied walnuts), the food was delicious! The place is super cute and the staff is super friendly! Highly recommend!

Coolest little cafe in an old house, beautiful decor and flowers were beautiful. The food is incredible and the service was spot on! Homemade cakes were delicious and their quesadillas and tacos are so delicious!!! Highly recommend!!! Worth the travel off the beaten path, for sure!

Located in a beautifully restored historic 1907 craftsman style house built by the town’s doctor this restaurant has nostalgic atmosphere in spades. Locally sourced ingredients combined with talented chefs will make this an experience that you won’t soon forget.

OH MY STARS IN HEAVEN!!! This little gem of a cafe came highly recommended to us by several people and we made it a priority to visit on a recent anniversary trip to St. Joe, AR. I can assure you, we were NOT disappointed...at all...and neither will you!!! From the moment we pulled into the gravel parking lot, we knew it was time to loosen the elastic in the waistline and get ready for a plate full of deliciousness that waited us inside this charming old house. It was very inviting, very welcoming, as if you were about to enter into Granny's kitchen. The weather could not have been more perfect, so my husband and I sat outside on the little patio; there are two tables on the front porch and one table on a stone patio, as well as, tables on a screened-in back porch if sitting outside is your preference. As you entered into this charming little house, you were instantly greeted with an array of homemade desserts from pies, to cakes, to other sweet yummyliciousness. I think that's intentional for you to see this display first thing upon entering, but I for one am definitely not complaining because what we saw coming out of the oven was bubbling over and smelled AMAZING!!!! From our understanding, Skylark Cafe is what they're known for...their homemade desserts. As a first timer, deciding what to order was challenging because of all that was offered; soup, salad, sandwiches, to name a few. We started with the hummus appetizer and well...we were not disappointed. It had a lemon zest to it, right size portion for two, and was accompanied with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. My husband ordered the Skylark Club and it's a good thing we had not eaten anything prior to this bc his eyes popped wide open when they brought out our food. I am a sucker for some good BBQ, especially brisket, and I knew what I would be eating just by the intense aroma of smoked meat. Both of our sandwiches were served on homemade bread from Neighbor's Mill Bakery out of Harrison, AR...and if you've ever been there...then you know! SO SO good! We both had the potato salad as our side and it was just as delicious. Now that we made it through lunch, we knew we had to make room for that dessert we saw being pulled from the oven when we first arrived. The two pies that were bubbling over with all that goodness were the Blueberry Buttermilk Pie and the Chocolate Walnut Pie. I had requested the Chocolate Espresso Pie but the Chocolate Walnut Pie was delivered instead but lemme tell you....I was SO HAPPY and didn't care because it was CHOCOLATE and it was DIVINE!!! Now...that Blueberry Buttermilk Pie is a whole'nother story!!! DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN...as soon as it hit your tastes buds, you heard angels singing. It was freshly made, it was still HOT, and it tasted every bit as delicious as it looked!!! Yes & Amen! Long story short, my husband and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed our visit to Skylark Cafe, so much so that, we took our youngest son and his girlfriend a few days later after we floated the Buffalo River...for the 2nd time that week!!!

Great atmosphere for anyone looking for great food 10/10 recommend. Portions size were good, best steak around.

Such a wonderful stop on our way to Branson. Food was delicious, the slice of cake we had was fabulous and they were extremely kid friendly with high chairs, coloring books & crayons, and a play area behind the house. We will be back!

I ordered the Summer Special Salad, and it was amazing. The second one was, at least, as a decent-sized bug crawled out of the first one. However, seeing as they get their produce fresh from the back garden, this wasn't really surprising. Thankfully, the waiter took it back after apologizing and came back with a completely new one 10 minutes later.

This place is so cute! We stopped in on our way home to Texas. The food was outstanding, and the staff was friendly and so were the other customers! Will definitely come again when we can try the desserts (which looked amazing)!
