Greenbrier, AR
Menu is Southern-style cooking; featured in Michael and Jane Stern's Roadfood. The review states: "At the Wagon Wheel, freshly-baked, high-domed rolls envelop breakfast sandwiches of eggs and Petit Jean bacon; bread baskets come piled with white toast that is rich as cake; and tall meringue pies are Arkansas-excellent. Chocolate gravy with your morning biscuits!! Normal gravy is available, too, and it is excellent. This is a cozy sort of place where locals hang out and discuss things over coffee every morning. The tall (pie) meringues were Arkansas-excellent, and that is saying a lot, for Arkansas is one of this nation's premier pie places."
