Chit Chat & Chew Cafe, nestled in the vibrant downtown of Searcy, AR, is a delightful breakfast and lunch destination that captures the essence of community dining. Customers rave about its friendly service and clean, modern environment, creating a welcoming atmosphere that invites patrons to unwind.

Among standout dishes, Valerie A. highlights the Western Omelet paired with the local favorite, chocolate gravy, a combination that showcases the region’s charm. Enthusiasts of classic diner fare will appreciate Ray Blanco's experience with the Monte Cristo sandwich, which, despite being a tad soggy, delivered on flavor. The accompanying sweet potato fries and their secret marshmallow dipping sauce were noted as divine, adding an unexpected twist to the traditional side.

Adding to the uniqueness, Thaddeus Tondu’s endorsement of fried bananas and peanut butter on a burger indicates the cafe's adventurous spirit and willingness to push culinary boundaries. While some guests noted wait times could stretch, the overall sentiment remains positive; the quality of food and joyful atmosphere shine brightly at Chit Chat & Chew Cafe.

Wonderful Breakfast and Lunch Cafe!!! In the cute Searcy downtown area surrounded by beautiful native plants and flower beds (on the side street by the bank). Great, friendly service! Clean, modern environment. I loved the Western Omelet and the region’s champion chocolate gravy!

Great diner on the square! Food was thoughtfully prepared. The owner in the kitchen was cooking and putting forth legit skills, cooking talent and thought into the meals we received! I had a Monte Cristo sandwich. It was fantastic. Closest thing to a Benigens monte cristo that I’ve found. It was a little soggy, but still delicious. The sweet potato fires were a dessert with the secret marshmallow dipping sauce that came with them. Divine. My wife had a club sandwich, however, it did not come with frilly toothpicks, so I’m a bit confused as to how it can be a club sandwich without em. Daughter had some sort of breakfast sandwich. It looked great! She loved it. Probably the best place in town. I plan on making this a go to when my daughter attends Harding.

The food was good. Portions were great. We felt like the speed that the food took to be prepared was longer than normal. Overall, it's a good place to eat.

Been twice now—once for breakfast and once for lunch. Breakfast was good and the pancake was huge, but nothing to write home about. But the burger is phenomenal. Perfectly cooked patties between these super firm buns that hold it all together perfectly. One of the best burgers I’ve had in a LONG time. Always smiling faces and the prices are great. Plus you get to look out on the square while you eat. Just a great place.

My favorite place to eat in the whole state of Arkansas. Love the diner atmosphere! Everything I've ate here has been fantastic. The service is great. Highly recommend. I wish they were open all day!!

Best decision we made walking in the doors. We ordered the layered scramble. Everything but the kitchen sink on the plate. The biscuits were tucked under eggs, veges, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon. On top the most delicious gravy we have ever eaten in a restaurant. The roux was browned to perfection and not too thin or thick. When the waitress brought the plates, one for each of us, we couldn’t believe the portion size. I am no exaggerating that it could have fed four adults. Excellent! The cafe was inviting and filled with veterans dining together. We will definitely go back
