Ringold Cafe - McCurtain County

Wanting a home cooked breakfast? This is the place. You cannot get more “home cooked” than this. Incredible!! May take some time because each plate is made from scratch but it’s worth it!

“Never judge a book by its cover” My wife and I stayed in the cabins down the road the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. We wanted to find a place for breakfast and decided on this place. Nothing particularly special on the outside or inside, but we were served by a young man who seemed modest. The menu was very simple, which I taken a liking to (most menus can be quite over bearing honestly). The atmosphere was quiet and secluded and the wait time for the food was a bit long. Now to the best part. The food was, in the most simplest way to put it, pretty darn good! I ordered the biscuits and gravy breakfast which came with bacon and eggs, and topped it off with French toast. I can honestly tell you, this food is down home style, made from scratch, country cookin! Imagine going down to grandmas, and she decides to make breakfast from scratch. Nothing fancy, but the food is delicious. My wife had sausage and eggs. Eggs cooked right and the sausage, immaculate (crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside). The bacon was crispy and the French toast reminded me of how my grandmother would make it, as I put it. The food was well worth the wait, given it seemed like there was only one woman manning the kitchen. I won’t criticize the wait time for food made from scratch and made right! If I wanted an assembly line of cooks making sub par food, I would’ve settled for IHOP. But this cafe was suitable enough me and my wife. This does not seem like a full on “kid-friendly” establishment ie. not much on the menu for kids, as I’m sure it is directed to deliver its food to the patrons staying in the cabins (which are aimed at adults wanting to get away), or the fine locals that live around those parts as well as hungry travelers. Unfortunately most kids may not find much enjoyment out of an old fashioned home style meal. But perhaps they might add more features to their menus for the kids. This isn’t IHOP, Cracker Barrel, or Waffle House. This is home made food at its finest. This may not be the cafe for everyone. But I think everyone should at least try this cafe at least once, if you happen to cross the area. My wife and I plan to visit again when we cross the area somewhere in the future. I will definitely give the other choices on the menu a try. Judging by the breakfast, I’m hoping to settle in for a treat! (Recommend)

Five stars based on a country café. Good service and the food is good! Nothing compares for miles around! We eat here every chance we get!

Food was below average Customer service was horrible. We were the only guests there and had to wait forever for our food. Ordered desert and it took 20 minutes (ice cream and chocolate pie). We finished eating and no one came to clear our plates. We had to set them aside on another table. Food order wasn’t correct. Ordered a cheeseburger for our 4 year old and specified just meat and cheese only. The server wrote it down. Burger came without cheese. Place was extremely dirty. Advertised as kid friendly but no kid menu. We love small town diners and were excited to give this place a try, but we were beyond disappointed. The entire experience felt like a waste of time and money.

Friendly people and home-cooked food await at this quaint little cafe. Prices are reasonable, and the friendly chatter between patrons helps the place feel like home.
