Monday Munchies: Historic Ozark Cafe in Jasper
This chicken-fried chicken sandwich was as generous and welcoming as the people of the small town where I ate it.The setup: The 114-year old Ozark Cafe in Jasper is a bit of a time capsule. At first glance, patrons are reading newspapers!But, but, but: It was just the menu printed on a broadsheet.Still, the natural-rock walls, an old-fashioned bar and hundreds of photos let you know it's not just a restaurant — it's a community fixture where townspeople have communed for decades.The offerings: The fare is what's expected in a small-town diner: breakfast, lunch specials and heavier entrees for dinner. All is American-style food.I opted for the chicken-fried chicken sandwich ($13) and hand-cut fries ($2). Photo: Worth Sparkman/AxiosThe verdict: Enormous, crispy and crunchy — the only thing missing between the bun halves were pickles.I'm guessing the server would've brought 'em, but hunger — and a deadline — hastened my eating.Check it out: Ozark Cafe is in downtown Jasper; hours are 7am-8pm Sunday-Thursday and 7am-9pm Friday and Saturday.Of note: Don't confuse the Ozark Cafe in Jasper with the historic Oark General Store (no "z") in the Ozark St. Francis National Forest.Get more local stories in your inbox with Axios Nw Arkansas.
