Family-Owned Restaurant Serving Fresh Steaks & Seafood in Edgemont, AR
Founded in 1978 by Pat and Fred Janssen, our restaurant began as a family venture when we took over a motel restaurant in Edgemont, AR. Over four decades, we've evolved from serving comfort foods like fried fish and meatloaf to offering hand-cut Black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, and creative Cajun-inspired dishes. Our commitment to quality remains unchanged, using only premium ingredients prepared from scratch daily. Under current ownership by Beth and Tim Janssen, we maintain the original ethos of consistency and simplicity while introducing weekly menu innovations.Our kitchen team, led by Tim and Chef Larry, prepares every dish with care, complemented by Beth's dedicated service staff. We prioritize environmental consciousness and uphold Fred Janssen's philosophy of keeping things simple yet exceptional. With accolades from loyal customers and recognition as a local favorite, we continue serving our community with the same passion that began generations ago.
