Greer's
-
Greer's Family Restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall cafe in an unincorporated town that doesn't have a stoplight. I'm not real sure the town even has a sidestreet.
Greer's is furnished in early American seen better days, with some patriotic and kitchsy wall decor. The waitresses are older than your mom or farm girls trying to make a few dollars at one of the few jobs in the area.
Used to stop and eat occasionally as we drove to the camp on the Tensas. The patrons are mostly farmers, hunters and retired folks. It's a lunch special at dinner, mostly fried catfish at supper. Place has been there a long time.
If you do happen to be in Crowville some day at noon, drop in for a hot hamburger. A hot hamburger is a handmade, fried burger, sitting in the middle of a plate, framed by four wedges of white bread toast. They then put french fries on it and bury everything in brown gravy. A good meal for a working farmhand.

Solid. The photos on the page look like so many places I went to with my grandmother.
They were her favorite places, and she'd go often. It was more or less my job growing up to go with her because my parents are not at all fans of such establishments. I think they saw it as a bit of a mild punishment to go with her.
Joke's on them, we had an awesome time. And the food was spectacular in a farmhand kinda way.
Really miss those trips.

There's a place we would go to which was about 4 miles north of the Cheddarshack
. It was a no-nonsense restaurant that had a great breakfast and hearty, hearty lunches.Never went there for dinner, unfortunately.
There's another place, not far from where I live...the "Country Cup Cafe." It's a place with a bunch of booths, a counter you can sit at and watch the grill guy make your food. It's in the same building as a bowling alley, and is open 24 hours - draw your own conclusions as to the clientele, LOL. But for breakfast, the geezer docs and I would go there twice a year for breakfast.
Yah, you could get a haircut there too.
