"For lovers of banana, pinapple, and nuts, the banana split pie is a dream come true!"

"Behold, coconut pie!"

"All the breadstuffs at Wagon Wheel are made right here. This buttered toast is made from bread that is wonderfully moist, rich, and wheaty."
Michael Stern



"In the background: regular pepper cream gravy. In the foreground: chocolate gravy! In the middle: a swell biscuit."

"Here's a superior breakfast sandwich: Petit Jean bacon from Morrilton, Arkansas, and an egg inside one of Wagon Wheel's just-baked rolls."
Michael Stern



"Size is a good thing when it comes to pie, but this towering slice of chocolate pie also earns kudos for its delicious deep-chocolate flavor and that ethereal meringue on top."
Michael Stern



"Veteran waitress Lynn Lockie stands with proprietor Lawrence Nelson, who holds a piece of the excellent coconut pie."
Michael Stern



"The strange mix of flavors is what first makes chocolate gravy-topped biscuits seem strange; but the texture drama of smooth chocolate and fluffy biscuit soon takes center stage."
Michael Stern



"With none of the shock factor of chocolate gravy, Wagon Wheel's sausage gravy is a fine take on the classic pepper-cream dress for biscuits."
Michael Stern



"Even though it was breakfast time, we were not the only people at the Wagon Wheel to be enjoying the kitchen's superlative pies."
Michael Stern



"Stars of the show at the Wagon Wheel, biscuits keep coming out of the oven throughout the morning."
Michael Stern



"Sunday morning at the Wagon Wheel: Arkansans and travelers fill up the seats to eat hearty."
Michael Stern



"Water (and tea) arrives in giant tumblers. Silver comes bunched in wax paper envelopes."
