There is practically an endless list of pies to choose from.  This piece of Karo-coconut pie especially caught my cousin's eye.

If you asked me what a peach cobbler should look like and taste like, I would point you to what they serve at Bryce's Cafeteria.  This is cobbler perfection!

The most interesting part of the food line at Bryce's is the salad area, where lots of colorful options, many congealed, await you.

Standing in line is an essential part of the cafeteria experience.  The switchback allows you plenty of time to preview the food.

The quality of the food at Bryce's Cafeteria is no local secret.  We spoke to a gentleman at the table next to us who regularly drives all the way from Hot Springs, Arkansas to eat here.

Bryce's originally opened in downtown Texarkana.  The new location is convenient for anyone traveling I-30 at the Texas / Arkansas state line.
