If you’re in Fordyce, AR, make sure to stop by Red's Restaurant Fordyce, a charming Southern diner that captures the essence of comfort food with genuine hospitality. Nestled at 1935 US-79 BY, this quaint establishment offers classic dishes that leave a lasting impression. Customer reviews emphasize the excellent service and inviting atmosphere, making it a beloved local gem.

Renowned for its Chicken Fried Steak smothered in rich gravy, diners also rave about the Open Faced Roast Beef paired with warm mashed potatoes and tangy slaw.

Quant little diner right as you get into town with excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Good ol' classic feel. Make sure to ask what their specials are! Good sweet tea too. I got the Open Faced Roast Beef with mashed potatoes and gravy and slaw. It was excellent. Cousin got the Chicken Fried Steak and also said it was great. I will definitely be back, and easily recommend.

This is a 10 Star Cafe on a 5 star scale!!! We have eaten many places in 49 different states and many different countries, and I’d say this is the best of them ALL!!! The food is amazing the service is friendly and fast! Who would have thought a small metal building in the middle of No Man’s Land, would be this good! We were on our way from Moro Bay State Park to Lake Ouachita State Park and had to find a place to eat where we could park our truck, camper, boat “train” and this cafe had a large parking lot! That’s what got us there... but the Fish and Trimmings will bring us back!!! Everything was cooked to perfection with a very nice seasoning! I noticed they also offer a dinner plate special of home cooked, southern food that also looked and smelled delicious! Must have been because they ran out while we were there! Check this place out... you will be so glad you did!!! Thank you, RED’s, for offering great food at reasonable prices!!! We LOVE Red’s!!!

Red's was an excellent choice to go to for breakfast. They were incredibly flexible and were able to accommodate 20 members of our family as shown in the photos! Food was delicious and generously sized. Would definitely recommend!
