Buffulo burger was good. Solar powered joint? Huh, wish the prices weren't so $$$! You should catch the little alien shrine/bible next to the bathroom, definitely coincides with the whole organic/local/solar neurosis. To his, his own I guess. I liked the service/people.

TLDR: Terrible service. We waited a half-hour without so much as a glass of water before we were told the cook was not serving any more food that night. It is Memorial Day weekend and we go to town for some food. We called the Boardwalk Café ahead and arrived a half-hour before closing time, assured by the staff that we would get a spot. A server welcomed us, promptly cleaned the table and gave us menus. I took an almost immediate liking to the elk burger and banana-something dessert. There are also good-looking organic & vegetarian options. I wish I could tell you what they tasted like but we had no further interaction with that server. The first sign of trouble was the cook spotting us and cursing. We start to make eye contact with the passing servers for the next 25 minutes until finally a lady comes up to us and asks us how we got in (seriously?). She then explains that she will not be able to serve us because the cook has refused to make any more food. Maybe staff assurances a half-hour before closing time mean nothing. Maybe the Boardwalk Café does not like money. But this represents a failure of all staff for not communicating ANY of this to us and making us sit there while other food joints close up. The cherry on top was when we asked where else we could eat and got a “I don’t know”, an insult in a town of under 500 people. I can only conclude that either it is hard to find a good cook in the small town of Jasper, AR, or management is incompetent and won’t get rid of a bad apple (in addition to being passive aggressive). I would like to thank the Boardwalk Café for diverting our money to another local eatery that likes money so much they happily stay open later during holiday weekends. I want you to know I gave the other place a very generous tip.

Great food, great customer service, and is a lot healthier than the Ozark Cafe.

Awesome place to enjoy a meal! Allowed us to bring our own wine, everything there is local and very good. Shrimp creole and fresh Trout are amazing along with great hometown atmosphere. Next time we're in Jasper we will eat here for sure!

These folks are definitely going out of there way to promote local, organic, and tasty food. The staff treat you like you're already a regular. The veggie burger is by far the best I've tasted in a restaurant.
