Salem Dairy Bar — Restaurant in Arkansas

Cute lawn games. But the positives end there. My husband and I decided to stop by here on the way out of town on our Harley. Both of us have been here on different occasions a long time ago and wanted to try it again. We ordered spicy barbecue nachos, a barbecue sandwich, fries, and a chocolate shake. The girl at the window had literally no personality - I asked her if the nachos had onions and she said no. When the girl asked what kind of car we were in we told her we were on a Harley and that we would be sitting at the tables (so it should be obvious we were going to eat there and not take the food with us on a motorcycle). After maybe 15 minutes or so, they called my husband's name to which he promptly went to go get our order, and the guy handed him the food, said have a good night and rudely slammed the door in his face. He was not asked if we needed any kind of condiments or anything else. When he brought the food to the tables, I opened my nachos to find them covered in onions. They did not give him a straw for the chocolate shake so he went back to get one - it took 10 minutes or more for them to give him a straw. They also gave us no utensils of any kind, ketchup, salt or napkins. By that time I had started trying to pick off my onions and eat my nachos I then discover they had not given us any napkins either. I had cheese and barbecue sauce all over my hands from picking off the onions that we're not supposed to be there in the first place. Who does not give napkins when someone is eating barbecue which is obviously messy?? After it taking 10 minutes for him to get a straw I sure wasn't going to send him back or go myself to get napkins so I just wiped my hands on the paper bag they had given us. Despite the nachos having onions on them they had almost no taste at all. The fries had no salt on them and again we did not want to go up to ask and have to wait forever for salt either. After we finished our bland food we threw our trash away and left. We had to stop at a gas station so I could wash my hands before we left out of town. So in summary, bland food, no utensils, no napkins, no salt, no ketchup, rude employees, incorrect order but yard games were cute. We will not...

I visit this location at least 3 days a week for lunch, but after my most recent experience I have no plans to return. I was denied access to the restroom due to it being employee only and a “health department concern” however on many occasions I regularly see Caucasian customers use their restroom. I even saw several Caucasian customers go to the restroom, and check the handle but they couldn’t enter due to it being occupied by an employee. I was then told that if I had a small child it would be different, and that I could use the restroom only with a small child. This makes no sense at all because the health department would have an issue regardless right? Then I ordered two ice cream nachos, and was cheated on the toppings. I literally watched the kid give me the nachos with Oreos only on them. I then told him I also paid for Reese’s so he went back and removed some of the Oreos and sprinkled some Reese’s on top and handed it to me. I then told him that I paid for both toppings and he responded “both are on there”. He then slammed the window shut. There were crushed Oreo tiny crumbs and crushed Reese’s crumbs, but no actual crushed Oreos or Reese’s.

Denying African American Customers the restroom but allowing Caucasian Customers access does...

I've stopped a few times and the food has always been good. I stopped this time to get a snack to tide me over until dinner. I ordered Cajun fries, strawberry milk shake and a fried chocolate pie. They usually stay busy but the wait time this time was unusually long for an order like mine. They did apologize when I got my order so I just suppose it was an off day for them. The shake was great but the fries could have been seasoned more. The fried pie was a bit of a disappointment. I expected a thicker filling but it looks and tasted like canned chocolate syrup. It was so messy and the taste wasn't as good as I expected so I couldn't even finish it. This place does have wonderful food and nostalgia so I still would...
