Juniper's Back Door Restaurant — Restaurant in Calico Rock

Great concept and location for a speak easy. The implementation not so much. It is a family setting so there were quite a few kids there running around. Games were there to play. The music was ok. The service wasn't very good. The two waitresses were running up and down the stairs and couldn't keep up. We had 3 drinks, 2 margaritas and a vodka strawberry drink, and no food, should have been $26 but was charged $43 because they couldn't keep up with who had what on their tabs, so we were charged for a couple of drinks of friends that were with us but since they didn't get charged for the same...

We chose this place because, well, they were open. The menu was small but the staff was welcoming and we were hungry so we headed downstairs to grab a table and look over the menu. Wow! What a great space! Everything about the space was a pleasant surprise. Cool chandeliers, cozy seating areas and a great table to enjoy our lunch.

We ordered the charcuterie board, pretzels, sliders and the BBQ chicken flat bread. They had their own sausage on the charcuterie and it was fabulous. The sliders were delicious and I can't stop thinking about that flat bread. Wish we were in town longer so we could...

This is a gem. I wish I lived next door!

They have beer, whiskey, some of the best food I have ever had, and live acoustic music all at bargain prices. There was no cover charge, and they have a large outside smoking patio with umbrellas and nice tables. There is no smoking inside.

This was a great experience and a trip maker if you are passing through. The scenery along the highway to Calico Rock...
