Some of the most prized gems in Arkansas are hidden in unsuspecting places, and one such treasure is tucked deep inside the Ozark Mountains. Low Gap Café is a country cookin’ meets fine dining restaurant located inside an unassuming, old general store. At first glance, this hidden gem cafe in Arkansas resembles a biker bar. But don’t be fooled, it serves the most out-of-this-world food that you’ll eat from this side of the Ozarks.

Low Gap Café is a restaurant located in the middle of nowhere off Highway 74 between Jasper and Ponca Arkansas.

Don’t expect to find any bells and whistles inside this unassuming eatery. It’s dotted with taxidermy animals as well as trinkets, and it has modest seating inside the dining area.

While it’s a popular spot for bikers, the food is what keeps patrons coming back for more.

The cafe is known for its steaks, which include a ribeye, a New York strip, and a Filet Mignon, served with two sides and a soup or salad. And my goodness, those buttery garlic biscuits are divine!
