I have always wanted to try Wilson Cafe since I found it, and man, I am so glad I have finally fulfilled that wish, because it's everything I expected. First, the cafe itself is beautiful, and so is the town of Wilson, even though it's in the middle of nowhere. The cafe was a mix of a classic but modern dining experience that was elevated to be high class. It was gorgeous! We started off with the Smithey Cast Iron Rustic Bread, which, with the butter, was so yummy. The heavy amounts of garlic in it made me smile. My boyfriend ordered the Mushroom Gnocchi and I ordered the Pork Chop. I was skeptical of the gnocchi, as most gnocchi I have tried in restaurants were always so chewy it almost always tasted raw and bland, but Wilson Cafe's did not disappoint. It was flavored perfectly with butter and it was especially great paired with the mushroom. Of course, I though the Pork Chop was much better, and honestly, it's because it was. The Pork Chop was not dry, which I was scared of because it's such a thick cut, but instead it was the juiciest and best Pork Chop(sorry mom) that I ever ate. The first bite literally melted in my mouth. The tomatoes on the sides mixed with it perfectly, though I wasn't a big fan of the lettuce being there because it just got soggy. And don't even get me started on the deliciousness of the potatoes. I wish Wilson Cafe were closer to Jonesboro so I could go every day, but it's definitely worth the drive!

Wilson's Cafe was such an incredible find! The name does not do it justice at all, but that's what makes it such a nice surprisee! First, of all the interior and exterior of the building are so upscale yet inviting. Light and bright with lots of windows. There was a live flower on every table. I wouldn't have changed one detail of the decor. The food was delicious. We started with the Memphis Barbecue Deviled Eggs. Apparently, the deviled egg appetizer changes each day. I can't imagine a better choice. I had the shrimp grits for my entree, and it was definitely the best I have ever had. There were four very large perfectly fried shrimp over creamy, spicey grits. My husband went with the salmon, which he said was very good. The sides were Delta rice and broccoli. He liked them both, but went on and on about how great the rice was. If you are a wine drinker, the wine selection is much better than almost anywhere else in Arkansas, much less Northeast Arkansas. The staff is knowledgeable on wine and are very willing to help with the selection. Both staff members that we encountered were friendly, but professional. My only complaint about Wilson's Cafe, is that is too far from home for me to visit often. It was definitely worth the drive from Crowley State Park to have a nice Anniversary Dinner. If we are ever this way again, we will definitely swing by Wilson, AR. I would love to try the weekend brunch!

My husband has been to The Wilson Cafe many times over the years and was excited that I was finally able to try it. Our waitress was friendly enough, but the food was not enjoyable at all. I ordered the braised short rib and my husband ordered the herb roasted chicken. She came back out a couple minutes later and told me that the short rib was not finished cooking and what else would I like. We arrived at about 5:30pm, so I was disappointed the short rib wasn't ready when they open at 5pm, but I understand things can happen so I just ordered the herb roasted chicken as well. They very quickly brought out our food about 5 minutes after it was ordered which explains why the potatoes tasted dried out like they had been microwaved from a previous dinner service. The potatoes were supposed to be seasoned with garlic, couldn't taste any garlic.The chicken was very moist which is usually hard to do with chicken breast, but there wasn't any roasted herb flavor on it. The broccoli florets were barely cooked at all! So crunchy and Luke warm at best. There wasn't a lick of salt on anything. I didn't finish my plate and the waitress didn't ask if there was a problem. My husband has had so many positive experiences here and I've seen all the other positive reviews, so I'm willing to give this place another try, but this was extremely disappointing for my first time here.

The food was delicious. A worker named Ian was very friendly and informative about the area. HOWEVER... it took over 1.5 hours to get our food. We ordered our food at 12:30. After an hour went by with no food, a man came and brought a ham sandwich order to one of us who had ordered one. Within a couple minutes, another waitress came and said sorry he says he brought you the wrong plate. It WAS what she ordered and she already started eating the fries, but spparently it was supposed to go to a different table, but they took it away from her anyway! Within a couple minutes, they took it to the other person who had ordered the same thing! Being so quick, leads me to wonder if they served him the exact same plate after taking it from her. Yuck. ThEN our waitress came to the table to tell us she was so sorry she FORGOT to turn our order in to the kitchen! And just then turned it in! She said i am so sorry, I wondered why you weren't eating over here! (But didnt bother to check obviously!) We got our food at 2:05. Then the waitress has the nerve to tell us she is off duty and is leaving. I so wanted to tell her she doesnt get to leave until we do. The new waitress apologized again and said she would give us a discount. When the bill csme the discount amounted to just over $3.. In all we were in that restsurant for well over 2 hours, had an incredibly frustrating experience, and were only given $3ish off of our entire bill. The waitress is lucky that my husband and our friends are generous and left a good tip anyway. I may not have been so generous. Even though the food was good, I cannot recommend this restaurant due to the incredibly...

I guess when you’re the only restaurant in town, you can do whatever you want. So, when did rural towns start charging city prices? This place looks like an upscale sort of brunch spot, but the food was only so so. My boyfriend ordered an espresso, but they brought out what may have been an americano… in a lipstick stained mug. She was nice enough to take it back, but returned a little too quickly to make me believe she made a new one. Anywho, the coffee was actually pretty good, but it wasn’t exactly hot. The menu was pretty typical for a cafe. I opted for the Avocado Turkey Club, and my boo thang got the Farmer’s Breakfast. Both were $14 a piece, that’s high for middle of nowhere Arkansas right?!?! So we both ordered our bacon extra crispy (damn near burnt is what I actually said), neither of us got extra crispy bacon. Okay, it is what it is, moving on. His eggs weren’t under cooked, but they were wet and bland. Are wet eggs a thing??? It was odd. My club was buttered, as if it was to be toasted, but I think it only kissed the grill because it wasn’t toasted. AND, remember when I said I ordered the AVOCADO Turkey Club? Well, apparently they were out of avocado. But no one ever said anything, I had to ask “Hey, ummm, didn’t this thing come with avocado?” Oh, yea, we’re out, sorry. And that was the end of it! I may have changed my order had I known, but I guess they figured I wouldn’t miss the avocado in my AVOCADO TURKEY CLUB! Lol!!! In summary, this is literally the only restaurant in town, so they’re going to do what they do. Just giving anyone who decides to...
