It has an unassuming location, an old gas station. The inside is still half a convenient store; beer and cigarettes and gum and such for sale. The food, however, is top notch. We stopped by on a road trip the sweet tea is on point and like ambrosia to a deprived northerner. The burgers are delicious diner-style complete with butter toasted buns and the Philly cheese was delicious also. Regional sides like fried pickles and corn nuggets were very satisfying. The chicken sandwich seemed like they took chicken breast, pounded it and breaded before frying. It was everything you could ask for flavor-wise in a funky and ultimately charming local package. Friendly guests offered conversation and anecdotes to road weary self and they seemed to enjoy their breakfast dishes they ordered. I would absolutely stop by again. Dine in or get it to go-- you will be satisfied. (I just cut the sandwiches in half myself, but I didn't ask them to. I am sure they would if you wanted.)

On our way home from Dauphin, Island and found this place on Google Maps. Straight up the place is kind of a dive but the food was amazing! I ordered the chicken wrap and onion rings with ice tea. It was all delicious! Trust me, stop in, you will not be disappointed in the food!

I ordered a turkey wrap, no turkey, and the guy in the kitchen told her to add $2 to my meal because I'm not getting meat. I get back to my hotel and I have the sandwich, my appetizer, but my side is missing. I drive back down there and the guy ignores me. The lady made my side. The fried pickles are way too salty. The wrap tastes horrible and it's oddly warm. All this for $15 and not even a drink?

Do not judge the building, food is really good and reasonably priced. We were passing through and was very pleased.

The owls nest is one of my favorite places to grab a delicious chicken salad, shrimp, or cheese burger. I pretty much get the same thing all the time. The owls nest never disappoints. I really want to try the all day breakfast menu. Today I ate in for the first time. Customer service was A+!

We were greeted by a waitress who was hands down the best server I think we’ve ever had. So friendly and thoughtful! Food was also so good ???? everything felt like it was made at home. (Mississippi folk here!)

We hope to be able to stop by on our way back through, if not, don’t let this little spot fool you. I’d eat here every day of the week if we lived nearby!

Such a heartwarming experience!!! McGehee Arkansas has a Family owned Restaurant called The Owl Nest. Spring told us to have a seat where ever, brought us menus and even offered us breakfast because it is served all day. She also let us know about the new cheese curds. On the table we found "Fancy Ketchup", salt shaker, metal tin of black Pepper, yellow mustard, and a giant basket with an impressive selection of sweet and sour sauces from 3 different brands, picante, honey mustard, butter, and cocktail sauce.

A sweet young boy maybe 5 or 6 appeared with a pen in hand pad on our table smiling to take our order. He wrote it down cheeseburger, 3 chicken tenders, and a side salad..... he asked if that was all and tore the paper off and sprinted back to give his dad the order. Seconds later he returns and tells us it will be 10 minutes. He returns and asks what fries we wanted... we asked what do you have? Cajun or Regular, he said. We said is Cajun good? He said you never had them before!?!? We said no should we? And he said oh yeah and ran back to the kitchen. He then returned shortly to ask what we wanted on our burger and we said everything! He said okay and sprinted back saying it would be right out.

Our food arrived hand breaded chicken for sure, large cheeseburger with Cajun fries. I asked for ranch because I thought maybe the fries would be spicy but actually tasted like thicker, straight, arby fries that were so incredible they didn't need sauce. And bbq for the chicken. The kid returned with one tub of ranch and a handful of bbq and said he would be back with more we chuckled and said thanks but we are good. The cheeseburger was large and thinner and had a crisp on the outside like a thicker version of a Freddy's burger. All of a sudden our server was back with 4 more tubs of ranch. There were napkins in the window and I am sure upon request silverware. We couldn't finish and was so good we couldn't waste it so upon request April brought us a box.

At the checkout desk an older boy maybe 10 tried checking us out but our server insisted the older boy rolled his eyes and allowed it. I handed the little boy a $5, and my husband tipped him more on our credit card. The Dad then popped his head out from the back and asked us how everything was.

Incredible food and service!!! Definitely where all the locals go. ????
