Molto bene! Benissimo!! EVERYTHING about Ermilio's is pleasing: the setting, the staff, the atmosphere, the camaraderie. And the food! Ah, the food!!

Favorite Dish: EVERY bite! I started with the Caprese Salad and a basket of wonderful bread. Ordered the mostaccioli al pesto to which my server added gorgonzola cheese sauce partway through with my blessing. I would've loved to try the tiramisu, but was perfectly sated. A very special rejuvenating experience and well-suited for special romantic or family occasions ... or any occasion at all! My hat is off to Ermilio's, the very BEST dining on my entire journey! Grazie!

Don't forget a generous tip. It will be well-deserved.

I only award it five stars, because the scale goes no higher, but it deserves the sky full of stars! Bravo, Ermilio! Bravo!

Well, I'll tell ya, service was poor. I sat at a table for some time before a waiter noticed me. He came back eventually to get my order, then after awhile to bring the food. After that I didn't see hide nor hair of him. Following a lengthy wait after I was finished with my meal, I finally went up to the kitchen window, and after another prolonged wait procured my bill. But that's NOT my real gripe with the place.
As an Italian restaurant the main thing going for it is a cute decor, which was - in fact - themed Italian. The food? Not so much. The salad you coulda picked up in a 7-11, and the dressing choices were Spartan. Best thing I could find to order was 5- (or was it 7- ?) layer lasagna. It was edible. Came with a fork but no knife. It was quite an adventure cutting it with just that fork. Would've asked for a knife, but never saw my "waiter" again. And the bread? Two tiny slices of what appeared like the end-pieces of a dried-out loaf of marked-down-for-quick-sale French bread from the local Econo-mart. Thankfully tasteless.
My honest recommendation? Try the Spicy Italian at Subway. It's a LOT more authentic and more reasonably priced. ($17.86 with $2 tip - Hey, I felt embarrassed for him!)

Favorite Dish: The water.

Woooooo, Piggy!!! Memphis-style Southern pit barbecue. Sandwiches less than $10. Dinners $10-20. Now, I had the Whole Rack of Ribs. That was $21.50. And, brother, that was a WHOLE rack! Slopping over the ends of the platter. I thought I was back in Amarillo at the Big Texan workin' on that 72-ouncer! It was worth more than what I paid.

Favorite Dish: I had the rib dinner. It was bodacious! Ribs were great. The barbecue sauce was not my favorite, but it was fine. That's just a matter of personal taste, and you can't please everybody all the time! (Somebody said that!) But my favorites? I've NEVER had better cole slaw or beans. When I started tastin' those, you couldn'ta blown me out of there with a cannon until I was done! Keep it up, Bubba!

I had the pleasure of eating at Gaskins Cabin Steakhouse while visiting Eureka Springs. We had a party of 6 and were seated by one of the many charming nooks next to a fireplace. The inside of the restaurant has such a warm and inviting ambiance. The service was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable. We ordered many different selections from their menu; each brought smiling faces and rave reviews! The Artichoke & Roasted Red Pepper Torta was my favorite! We received our dinners in a timely matter and I got to taste the Filet Mignon, New York Steak and the Prime!! Heaven! They were all so good and everyone agreed the dishes exceeded their expectations. One person even ordered the chef’s special chicken dish and that too was delicious. Our selection of red wine was perfectly paired with dishes and we shared a selection of desserts to top of an incredible dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch, dinner, casual dining and especially for a special occasion. The food experience is simply worth it! Looking forward to going back!!

Favorite Dish: steak - steak - steak! every steak offered was amazing! New York was probably my favorite!

We have breakfast every time we come to Eureka. It is our friend Kim’s favorite.

It has a comfortable relaxed feel. It is down in a sub grade room but do not let that fool you. They have worked hard to give it a good feel.

The service’s usually good and the food is very consistent. There is a preponderance of fresh ingredients. Not a lot of boil bag crap here.

Favorite Dish: The coffee is very good. The Vegetable Grits are a favorite. I like the omelets.

Eureka was a haven for alternative types after the seventies ended. This restaurant is one of the few remaining hold outs of this time. The walls are covered with a treasure trove of posters that chronicle music played in Eureka over the years. The place is small funky and friendly.

The food is prepared on site in a tiny kitchen that is visible to the dining room. What it lacks in polish is more than made up for by the food and atmosphere. Do not be put off by the casual nature of the place the food is good!

We time our arrival in Eureka so we can eat here every time we come.

Favorite Dish: We like the nachos, iced tea, and the specials are usually very good. They serve an unusual and delicious fresh salsa.

open for lunch only.

This is a great little restaurant just down valley from Downtown. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxed.

The food was very well prepared and fresh. I watched the chef picking herbs out of the garden in front. I also watched a local farmer delivering fresh squash to the kitchen. It does not get more local than that.

The salads were crisp and fresh. We had a cold fruit soup that was imaginative and delicious. Barbara had a very good sandwich.

There were daily specials that added interest to a good menu. The seating was pleasant. Even thought the road was close to the patio the plants buffered us from the sound and we really enjoyed our lunch. We even came back a couple of days later and brought some friends. We received the same great service.

Favorite Dish: I had a very good salad and some strawberry lavender soup that was nice.

We did not eat here, but did talk to locals and they seldom frequent this place due to the price and overrated for the dinners. The place is also affiliated with Cathouse lounge and Pied Pieper closer in to town; same issues. You can also stay here if you like

Favorite Dish: None sampled by us-reviews below sum up the place for the most part
