Low Gap Cafe

New location is spacious and nicely decorated. Food was delicious and if you want to enjoy a signature Prime Rib dinner (not on the menu), you better get there by 4 pm. Owner is a very nice fella, stops by and interacts with patrons.

As one of the few dinner choices in Jasper, this place was recommended to us by multiple sources as we stayed in the area for a couple of nights on vacation. The food and service were outstanding. Not cheap, but quality was excellent. Highly recommended.

Finally had the opportunity to have dinner and the Low Gap's new location. Beautiful building. Plenty of parking.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Lobster a la Pesto and for dessert the Italian Cheescake with Blueberries. AMAZING!
Looking forward going back soon to try something new.

We had someone recommend this place, what it lacks in looks, it makes up in the taste of the food. I had a pasta dish, can't remember the name but it was good even though I'm not a pasta fan (why do I pick dishes like this when I'm not a pasta fan?). Hubby picked chicken fried something (?) with mashed potatoes and veggies. We both shared so we could try some of each. His was even better. Ice tea was delicious. We ate outside on the patio, much quieter and better ambiance! I'd definitely give it a try, it's a little pricey but thought it was really good!

Drove over from Fayetteville on a beautiful Sarurday to see some foliage and maybe an elk or two and grab lunch at Low Gap. Best decision in a LONG time. They were packed. Had a private party but shuffled everyone in well and the wait was short. The food was amazing. Great Chicken Fried Steak. Like really great. Also, blackened redfish. In LOW GAP! Great burgers and sandwiches too. (Check out this lovely Monte Cristo!) Everything was solid A+! Highly recommend!

What gem to find in the hills of the Ozarks! Absolutely fantastic food and service! Everything we had was scrumptious and filling! Make sure to save room for dessert! Our one failing was we didn't even think of not eating it all and then could only nibble at the creme brulee...so good!

The chocolate cake is THE BEST cake I've ever put in my mouth, and I've had a lot of cake growing up with a mom who was a professional cake decorator! The cake was moist and light, and the icing was rich chocolate and fluffy. 🤤 The server was super friendly and attentive.

Awesome place! We ordered Red Snapper and Lamb Chops and everything was absolutely delicious!!! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and chef Nick came to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was to our liking. Gorgeous drive to the restaurant from Missouri is a huge bonus to our experience! We’ll definitely be back! Thank you!!!

The finest hidden dining experience in all of Arkansas.

My partner and I visited Low Gap for our anniversary two weeks ago. Having been tipped off by the kind lady at the Scenic Point in Jasper, we decided we would give it a try. There seemed an awful lot of seafood on the menu, but when a local knows, you just go.

What we experienced was an unparalleled level of culinary expertise, brought about by our incredibly personable chef, Tim. I received the thickest, prettiest, most delicious salmon I've ever eaten in my life, placed as a centerpiece atop a bed of rice, and easily the freshest vegetables I've had in years. If I could've made a drink of the sauce drizzle on top, I would have.

My partner received an equally stunning cajun shrimp pasta, and this is NOT Chili's quality. Massive gulf shrimp, a dangerously large portion of penne pasta, and a healthy portion of seasoned sausages created a dish that would put the finest New Orleans eateries to shame. The urge to steal half her plate crossed my mind more than once.

There were no other guests surrounding us. This was an exquisite, artfully designed meal in a building so quaint you can easily coast past it as you're glancing at the surrounding treeline. With the help of our brilliant, friendly, and honest server Whitney, our anniversary was made perfect by a team that was willing to befriend us, give us their finest efforts in what is clearly the off-season, and give us the most memorable dinner of our vacation.

It's going to be difficult to make any pass through Arkansas without making an evening out of Low Gap Cafe in Jasper. In fact — we may just never miss a chance. Perfect dining is hard to come by... but not here.

Here, it's just another Wednesday.

Thanks Low Gap!

I loved this place! For starters it is a beautiful drive up the mountain to a quaint little place. The chef was just amazing and very friendly. Ee had the squash soup, which was to die for!! The steak with horseradish sauce was deliciousWe were recommended by a friend and will definitely be back when we are in that part of the country. So worth the drive up the mountain!!!

One of the best salmon salads I've ever had. A group of four of us ate there this afternoon, one couple had the Diane Steak, my wife had the shrimp salad and I had the salmon salad. The presentation is excellent, the taste was excellent, and the service was excellent.

Drove over to this place from a neighboring town based strictly off reviews. So glad we did. Every thing we ordered was amazing. Fried fish, Vodka pasta, Chicken fried steak and homemade chicken strips for the little one. Homemade rolls served before the entrees and the ranch dressing has to be homemade. This place doesn't look impressive, but the meals certainly are. Read the story on the front of the menu..... guy has street cred.

The elephant in the room is that this place was a bit hard to find. 603 AR-7, Jasper, AR. If you use this address in your GPS you’ll get there. If you don’t, then you’re on your own ; )

The food was amazing. I ordered the Scallops in Mango Curry w Saffron Rice, my spouse got the Mac & Cheese and a side of Slaw. The Scallops were done to perfection, which, if you’ve ever cooked them at home, is no mean feat. The Mango Curry was delicious; the Saffron Rice just the right level of savory. The Mac & Cheese, which mysteriously is only on the kids menu, is sophisticated with excellent cheesiness.

The staff were wonderful, just the right amount of attentiveness.

The ambiance, well, it’s like being in a honky-tonk but without the band or bar : /

A regular stop for us when we visit Arkansas. A beautiful ride/drive in the Ozarks, and good food, great service for a well deserved break. I've had the burgers, shrimp, and deserts to die for. They will even let you order off the kid's menu if you aren't overly hungry. Friend and Family recommended. If you are in the area give it a try today!

Unassuming on the outside, but awesome staff and food on the inside! Loved everything about it. Yeah, its a $15 hamburger - so don't order it and get one of the other amazing dishes!!! Oh, and the pumpkin pie was the best I've ever had.

The CHEFS are Incredible !! So FRESH AND DELICIOUS !!! Morgan is Top Notch Sweetheart, Thank you for taking care of us !! Maria the owner Just A Delight !!I have traveled alot and WOW !!!!

Amazing food! Excellent grilled portabella mushroom entree, yummy brisket soft tacos, marscapone blueberry cake was to die for! Supwr nice wait staff & cooks. Gourmet food in Low Gap Arkansas!

While staying in a cabin between Ponca & Compton we stopped in for dinner one night at Low Gap Cafe. From the outside it appeared as an old mountain cabin, very cozy & country looking so we had a feeling it would be awesome and it was absolutely fantastic!!!

As we entered the cafe we chatted with the owner and a few of the workers and everyone was just so charming & friendly. We sat down and ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees.

One thing that impressed me from the beginning was that every dish brought to our table was piping HOT as it was served immediately after preparation. Nothing disappoints me more than cold or lukewarm food so I was very pleased at how hot all of the food was. The catfish bites were so hot I could barely hold them but quickly devoured these crispy, tasty bites of epicness!!! The fries were just as hot and crispy!

The salads were so fresh it’s as if there was a garden in the back yard. We sampled the crawfish etouffee and at first we were doubtful since we are from south Louisiana and thought that surely the mountain folk can’t possibly make authentic etouffee but I was highly impressed at how good it was, I don’t think you could get a better crawfish etoufee in south Louisiana, it was VERY VERY good !!!

Me and my son just ordered cheeseburgers fully dressed and just as everything else, they were served up very HOT and tasty. They were sooooo good !!!

My wife ordered the lamb chops medium rare topped with a fresh mint & pecan pesto sauce which was fabulous!!! Some places don’t understand MEDIUM RARE but these lamb chops were cooked to perfection and absolutely phenomenal. They were so yummy that we all took turns picking them apart to the bone.

I don’t always get good pics of the food but my wife got a pic of her lamb chops that I’ll post. All food that we ordered was HOT and impeccable. The service was exceptional.

I have nothing bad to say about the Low Gap Cafe and it’s a place that we will always visit anytime we are in the Ozarks.

Do yourself and your taste buds a favor, stop in and support the local cafe and you will be pleasantly surprised!!!

Bon Appetit !!!

From the wait staff to the food to the live music, everything was excellent. This is kind of a hole in the wall place and well worth the visit. I had the Chicken Balsamic and husband had Chicken Alfedo. Wonderful flavors and large portions. Tasty biscuits and blackberry cobbler. Definitely recommend and we will be back. Thanks!

So good. Definitely way more delicious and quality food than you would expect from a side of a small highway cafe. It kind of has that crusty small town Cafe feel, but in a good and comfortable way, and of course the food is such a delightful contrast to what you would expect.
