Home town flavor, I had great service. Kelly knocked it out of the park. The food was all spot on with appropriate portions and flavor. Im in from out of town and will be back!

Absolutely loved the service and the food. Our server Percy H was absolutely amazing, I was with my husband and our friends with their baby and he went above and beyond to make our experience here great. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazing! Probably the best patty melt I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten hundreds of them. Best onion rings as well. Madi is a great person to have wait on you.

Our waitress Sydnay was wonderful. Food was delicious! Look forward to dropping by again on our next trip through! ****update* been a year since the wife and I were in the area so naturally we stopped in for a quick bite! Food and service was absolutely amazing. Our server Destiny was very attentive and wonderful! The hamburger steak and chicken fried chicken are some of the best we have had! We look forward to stopping in on our next trip through!

I visited Calico County with my husband and his parents last month! I’ve been to the restaurant several times, and this is my first review. Calico County is a staple of home cooking in the River Valley! It’s one of the places I take my family and friends when they visit from out of state! My husband really likes their hand-breaded, chicken tenders. I like to order the vegetable plate!! I ordered mashed potatoes with brown gravy, fried okra, black eyed peas, and turnip greens. Everything was so good! The special thing about Calico County is that they bring out cinnamon rolls before your meal!! Our server was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere is welcoming and homey. You can tell that they have taken a lot of intentionality in piecing together the decor in the restaurant. It feels very nostalgic! Thank you to the Calico County team for providing an overall positive experience!

This was our first visit and really liked it. We met a couple there we haven't seen in a while and kind of overstayed our welcome, but we were never pushed to leave and continued to get perfect service. In our group we had meatloaf, catfish and burgers and everything was really good and tasted fresh. The burgers were super big and also yummy. Also what's not to like a place that 1. When they serve you your drinks they bring you warm and fresh cinnamon rolls AND 2 you can order cherry or apple cobbler as a side. Highly recommend ask for Tammy she was super friendly and did a great job and very professional.

Calico County is one of the best places in Fort Smith for traditional American breakfasts, served as they say “in an atmosphere full of American memories.” I had the Waffle Combo with bacon and bowl of fruits & thoroughly enjoyed , loved it. The cinnamon rolls served to welcome you is out of this world !!
