Meacham's in Ash Flat

I have said this before (in so many words)...but it bears repeating...You will miss out on really good places to eat if you play it safe and never take chances.

After our monthly youth rally, which was at Full Gospel Church at Batesville Arkansas this month, Tami and I stayed the night in Batesville.  The reason being that Ralph and I were going to play music after the rally with the Hatfields and McCoys.  Actually there were no McCoys but Norman Hall filled in for them!

We didn't want to drive into Batesville to eat breakfast so we decided to find a cafe up the road to Missouri.  When we passed by Meacham's on 62 Highway at Ash Flat, there were lots of vehicles in the parking lot (good sign) so we turned around and pulled in.  We had to wait for a table (another good sign) but got right in.  We ordered regular breakfast fare and settled in to wait.  We kept seeing what looked like loaves of bread being brought out to various diners so we were sorta prepared when they brought out our meal.  What we were seeing brought out were biscuits!  Lamberts Rolls have NOTHING on these biscuits!!  Tami ordered one biscuit and gravy with one pancake...We brought half of the biscuit home!  The gravy was bacon gravy and it was outstanding.  My meal was perfect with hashbrowns, egg, bacon and toast.  Here's the kicker...we talked with the proprietor and she said everything was made from scratch.  She said she tries to avoid anything prepackaged or pre-made like the biscuits, gravy and hashbrowns.  We may have had to wait a little longer for the food but it was well worth it!...and the price was not out of line for what we got.  So...if you're ever on the backroads of Arkansas...look up Meacham's in Ash Flat and enjoy!

Biscuit-zilla!!
