J.B. Weisenfels has lived in rural Arkansas for three decades. She is a writer, a mom, and a graduate student. She is also an avid collector of tacky fish whatnots, slightly chipped teapots, and other old things. In her spare time she enjoys driving to the nearest creek to sit a while. If you were to visit her, she'd try to feed you cornbread.
While you’re taking your scenic drive through the fall color in the Natural State, I’m going to recommend you take a moment to stop in at little community called Winslow. Winslow is off the beaten path, but the small restaurant you’ll find there is absolutely worth the drive — and it’s not exactly like the drive is a terrible ordeal, either.
You’ll find Winslow off of Highway 71, which is part of the Boston Mountain Scenic Route. That means to get to the cafe you’ll have to take one of the prettiest drives in Arkansas. What a shame.
The food at Grandma’s House Cafe follows the theme of homestyle goodness. If your grandma makes it, there’s a good chance Grandma’s House Cafe does too.
Their savory buffet is every bit as good as the desserts: fried chicken, pork chops, chicken and dressing, mac and cheese, fried okra... the list goes on and on.
While you’re out exploring the scenic byways of the Natural State, stop in and grab a bite to eat at Grandma’s House Cafe. Their address is 21588 US-71 in Winslow. They’re open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
