Charlie's Cafe

What a fun little restaurant off the beaten path. It was cozy, filled with locals, so I knew it was going to be delicious. And it was! There was one server and she did an amazing job taking care of us. My drink stayed full and the foot came out nice and hot. Will go back again

Sorry no pictures here, that was a great 30min spent! While on the road heading out of Lead Hill going to Missouri left early and hungry found this quick & tasty gem on maps and aside from the fact I didn't get a plastic knife to cut my pancakes with and no napkins in the bag I'm still giving them 5 stars for taste and fast service! Also something I noticed road tripping, there are still old school establishments using lard or spread... I wish they would offer the consumer a choice GMO or GMO lol Location is right off the main highway and it's a converted gas station with a few old iron tables & chairs outside, I didn't go inside my significant other says it was 'basic cafe setting' Great tastingPancakes, deliciousBacon! Crispy Western omelets, huge!Biscuits and Gravy, greatThanks Yelpers!

I love Charlie's! It is the best place to have breakfast. I don't eat them, but I don't have a single friend who doesn't order fried pickles when we go in.

This little place (emphasis little) is off the beaten path. We only went there due to the overcrowding in Branson and it was "on the way home" kinda. First it's cash only - be prepared. The breakfast was good. The meat filled omelet is substantial and comes with hash browns and toast or biscuit and gravy. The haystack has two huge hotcakes. I ordered the tenderloin breakfast. I'm guessing they had to substitute the breaded boneless pork chop for it. The coffee is pretty good and served in large mugs, a plus. Still, it seems to be a locals place. If your adventuresome swing by, they'll fill you up.

On our way back from Harrison AR to Branson area and ran across this quaint little diner so, figured we'd stop in since it was supper time. Sat ourselves at a table and almost immediately were asked what we wanted to drink. Drink orders came and it was time to order. Hubs ordered 21 Fried Shrimp Dinner with Fried Mushrooms. Being a hard man to please he said he would go back again. I ordered Fried Pork Tenderloin Dinner, Mashed Potatos with white gravy, Turnip Greens and salad. The Pork Tenderloin was super moist, tender and fried just right and the Turnip Greens were seasoned very well. For desert hubs got Coconut Cream Pie and I the Strawberry Shortcake, both were a very ample serving and I have enough brought home for desert tomorrow night. If you find yourself in Omaha AR and hungry...stop in...you won't regret the decision.

When we walked into the place, there's probably 20 other people in there which in the town of 169 people is a lot of the town. The food was really tasty. Get the hand breaded onion rings. The patty melt was delicious. But the big winner at this place, was definitely the pies. We got cherry à la mode and coconut cream. Both were absolutely phenomenal. Good service, good people, good food. Four-star food & service, five star pies.

Limited menu but very tasty and huge portions. This is truly a hometown cafe. Loved it.

small place with great food. cash or check only. friendly staff. great find just south of branson.

If you like to eat in places that feel like your mom, grandma, or aunt are cooking for you then Charlie's Cafe is the place to go. It reminds me of the diners of the 1950's and 60's. Quaint. Simple. Comfortable. Friendly. Yummy food at very affordable prices. Payment by cash.I walked in the door and the owner and other customers said, hello with smiles on their faces. I was not treated like an out-of-town stranger at all. The atmosphere is very relaxed. It really feels like you're having a meal in the home of family and friends. I opted for the daily special which was an open-faced hot beef sandwich. The beef was so tender and tasty. The mashed potatoes and gravy were really good. It was a hearty helping so I took dessert; blackberry cobbler, to go. There is ample parking and outdoor dining. I didn't ask, but I'm sure carry-out is available as well. There are other things on the menu that I plan to try so I'll be making trips to Omaha more often. 10 scenic miles from Big Cedar just over the border into Arkansas. The bonus to Charlie's Cafe is it's family-owned. It's obvious this family has worked very hard to establish, build, and maintain this diner. I had the pleasure of watching two year old Mason carry silverware and napkins to a table of diners. If supporting a small business is a top priority when deciding where to spend your money, you'll leave Charlie's Cafe with a full tummy and a warm heart.

Don't judge this place by it's looks. Food was great. People are friendly and like to socialize which is hard to find. Price is good. I would go again. Great place to ride your motorcycle to also.
