The Gypsy Willow Scratch Kitchen & Oyster Bar

This restaurant’s atmosphere is unique and different. Bringing a Louisiana style feel with the vibes and the food. I’ve tried everywhere on this menu at this point and I haven’t tried a thing I don’t like. It’s also welcoming and friendly there. The owners / staff are top knotch. You can stay as long as you’d like and hang out. It’s BYOB settling. Fridays and Saturdays they even have live music. This is a must stop in this area and a true gem for Cave City, AR.

We loved our Gypsy Willow experience start to finish. The food portions are as fantastic as the taste, and staff are very nice. The ambiance is rustic, cozy, and fun. We will be back to taste the rest of the menu in the future. Best mac&cheese I've ever had; the crawfish added such a great texture to the bites in the sauce.

The food was wonderful and you can't find any like it near by. The atmosphere was nice with and acoustic guitar player. There were people of all ages having a nice time.

This place is truly a hidden gem!! I tried a little of everything… the crawfish mac n cheese is amazing; the shrimp dishes (yes, all of them) are to die for; best beans I’ve had at a restaurant; and somehow the BEST thing they do is oysters! This spot feels and tastes like it was plucked straight out of New Orleans and dropped out on the Highway in Cave City! if you live nearby, you’re lucky…you have one job: keep this place in business!! If you’re passing through, STOP HERE… you will not regret it! Also, the folks who own/run the joint are amazingly kind people. The vibe is so cool—feels very down-to-earth but not quite a “dive” feel. Outdoor seating available for when the weather is nice! I can’t say enough about The Gypsy Willow… absolutely blew my mind!

We had such a great time at Gypsy Willow! 🌿 The atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming! It definitely has that cozy, family vibe that makes you feel right at home. The food was absolutely amazing, and the oysters were so fresh and full of flavor! 🦪 The live music by John Michael Stastny was the perfect touch.. his acoustic set created such a great vibe for the evening. Great food, wonderful people, and an easygoing atmosphere… we’ll definitely be back! 💛
