Skylark Cafe

An AMAZING place to eat. Insanely delicious warm sandwiches and Mexican-​fusion cuisine. I had the brisket tacos, and the brisket had a great hickory smoke flavor and was well complimented by the slaw and light touch of barbecue sauce with a hint of heat – a perfect balance of flavors and textures. My dining companion had the chicken pesto sandwich, which was tender, moist, and flavorful – a definite win.
Desserts look amazing and taste great (though they weren’t the highlight of the stop).
5 stars just because the entrees are so amazing. Service was warm and friendly but a touch slow, and the coffee – which was artisan-​roasted – was brewed a bit on the weak side (a stronger brew would have complemented the flavor of the beans and the desserts). Still, the sum of the experience was top-​notch just because of the incredible tastes of the tacos and sandwich. Definitely stop if you are anywhere in the area, and plan for lunch here if you are en-​route to or from Branson or northern Arkansas!

Great little gem hidden in the town of Lesley on AR66. Cozy, friendly and tasty. If you happen to be driving this way make sure you stop for a bite here instead of boring chain food places.

This was such a great find! Wish we lived right next door, think I’d eat there everyday:)

Everything seems like it is made by people who care. The quality of the food is excellent. Great sandwiches, salads and soups.

The oriental chicken salad was phenomenal — the best I’ve had. My wife ordered the Fiesta salad and loved it. The strawberry pie is killer. The service was fantastic. Don’t miss it. I will be back.

Cottage style historical feel with a wood burning fireplace and free wifi. Great food. Taco salad was huge and tasty. All the other reviews are correct… the strawberry pie is a must.

We were riding through Leslie and stopped here for some lunch. The food and the service was great! There menu had a variety of choices. Some great salad and sandwich choices to nachos and chili. All of us really enjoyed it and will be back :) !!

What a delightful place for lunch with good food and great pie. It’s very clean with lots of atmosphere and certainly worth a stop.

Wonderful lunch spot! Chili, Fiesta Salad and Strawberry Pie were delicious.
Great décor, as well. A lot of personality!

Loved the atmosphere in here, the high ceilings are awesome! I was amazed at the amount of vegetarian options at this small diner in the middle of AR, it was so great! I got the avocado and swiss sandwich, and it was pretty tasty. They also have sweet potato fries, which is always a plus! This is a nice place to go for lunch, especially if you are hitting the antique trail in Leslie (Lesly?).

Home style mostly Mexican inspired food and absolutely amazing desserts. So glad we stopped!

Wonderful food. Sinful evil dessert temptations. Great attentive staff which is near impossible to find anymore. This hamlet is a foodie mecca with wonderful wood fired sourdough bakery across the street. I’ve given up on gluten but know good baking when I smell it. We will be back. A friend took us there as everyone he takes is impressed. The décor is eclectic and wonderful. My highest recommendation.
