Advada's Diner — Restaurant in Carlisle

Off the beaten path, but worth the trip!

If you find yourself breaking your journey anywhere near Carlisle, Arkansas RUN to Avada's. Yes, run! This place is warm and welcoming with plenty of home cooking to continue the good vibes.

Family is where it's at at Avada - Whitney was so genuine and friendly she'll put you at ease and make sure you have everything you need.

The food: We we're in for breakfast Biscuit & Gravy - thinner gravy with loads of flavor. I don't enjoy thicker, cloying sausage gravy so this was perfect for me. The biscuits weren't super fluffy or bready - a little more on the dense/doughy side - but again this was perfect for me.

The breakfast plate - real deal farm sausage, fresh eggs, and home made grape jelly. No frills, great value, maximum flavor.

The atmosphere - there is plenty to see and lots of friendly people to have good conversation with for the solo traveler.

Wonderful place to stop and dine at. It is just off the interstate a bit, but honestly no more hassle than other restaurants that are seen from the interstate.

Very large parking lot for large vehicles or even hauling a trailer or camper.

I stopped in for breakfast, which I believe is not offered after 10:00a.m. they do offer a lunch menu to get you to the closing time of 2p.m.

Very large seating capacity, the rest rooms were clean and spacious.

Lots of decora on the wall, I walked around looking at different license plates from North America as well as misc signs from various businesses.

I've been eyeballing a dessert dish from my table, deciding if I should get...
