Hurley's Olde Bay Restaurant

Had a great dinner tonight at Hurley's Olde Bay. Chicken fried chicken, garlic mashed potatoes with black pepper gravy and corn. Rolls and a cinnamon swirl coffee cake for dessert. Really nice place with great staff and owners. It is a bit of a drive but well worth it.

Hurleys is always amazing! The food is second to none. Especially if you enjoy down home southern comfort food like we do. They have a set menu that changes weekend to weekend. This past weekend we had the brisket. Lemme tell you...it was one of the best brisket I've ever eaten and that's saying a lot. We've been blessed to have had some of the best BBQ in the country and this was up there and maybe the best one ever. It was so tender you don't need a knife. The carrots were delicious the baked potato was really good too. The rolls are buttery just like I like them. The dessert was a blueberry ricotta cake and it was extremely yummy too. The service is always stellar and I love the laid back atmosphere. You do need a reservation so keep that in mind. You cant just walk in and expect a table so call ahead and plan if you want to eat the best food in this area. 10/10 highly recommend

Simply the best.......there is no other way to describe it. My wife and I decided to brave the weather, and give it a go for a Sunday lunch, and boy, we were not disappointed. Portions were extremely generous, and hands down, the best chicken fried steak I have ever experienced in my life. Before lunch starts, hot rolls came to the table that were also nothing short of fantastic. Regrettably, I ate so much that I could not handle the desert........seating is family style at nice big tables, so be prepared to have a conversation with someone you have never spoken to before. We are definitely going back, and will definitely have the Salisbury steak. Also, make sure you follow the directions they provide on their Facebook page, unless you want to go off-roading.....

Like southern home cookin'. Excellent experience and Phenomenal country fried chicken, mash taters corn and rolls. Dessert, we had two options my husband and I couldn't decide which one to get so we had one of each. Blueberry cobbler and a chocolate mouse cake. Divine!!

We heard how great the food was here and finally checked it out for ourselves. It lived up to the hype! The pork steak was tender and juicy, scalloped potatoes were the perfect complement on the side and the carrots helped me feel like I was getting some healthy veggies in my system. The cherry cheesecake for dessert was also exceptional. Had a nice whipped consistency that didn't make it feel too heavy, and the crust was flavorful as well! Overall it was a very unique dining experience and so nice to support a hard-working local business. We look forward to going back to try more of their menu options in the future!

If you're looking for a unique dining experience with a cozy, family-style atmosphere, you’ve got to check out Hurley’s Olde Bay in Pineville, MO! We made our reservation the day before through Facebook, and it was confirmed within an hour—super easy. Since they’re reservation-only, be sure to check their Facebook page to see the set menu for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. When we arrived, my mother was waiting for a menu, and I had to break the news—there isn’t one! You get what’s on the menu for that evening, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Tonight’s meal was catfish, green beans, rice and beans, and their famous yeast rolls. The rolls came out first and disappeared in about three minutes—just like the ones my Great-Grandmother Lyda used to make! The catfish fillets were massive, coated in a perfectly seasoned cornmeal batter, and the sides were delicious as well. The sweet tea is a must-try—it’s clearly a favorite for a reason. The real star of the night? The Chocolate Delight dessert. It was absolutely amazing—so good it should be called Million Dollar High! Sofia, the owner, and our waitress were incredibly friendly, happy to chat and answer questions, even sharing stories about the four horse camps surrounding the property. We’re already looking forward to going back. If you’re up for a little adventure and some seriously good food, this is a must-try! Rob Score 9.2/10.0

Beautiful hideaway! The drive is so worth it with beautiful scenery. The atmosphere is cozy . The food was fantastic! Everything tastes exactly how I wanted it too ! The owners are welcoming and attentive. It’s affordable too! I should also mention portion size, we had enough to take home for dinner. This is a one meal menu, which led me to believe they put their heart into the meal and you can taste it. We enjoyed catfish, red beans and rice, green beans, cheddar biscuits and cherry crisp.

Delightful restaurant located a short drive from Northwest Arkansas over in Pineville. The restaurant is cozy and inviting. The food menus rotate, so it is best to check their Facebook page where they post the menus on Mondays or Tuesdays for the week. We found this place by accident when going out for a drive, and this has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area now. The chicken fried steak was cooked to perfection, and the apple dapple cake with caramel sauce was delightful. The owners are warm and welcoming, and their service and comfort food is what keeps us coming back. Thanks for providing a great experience and being the best "hidden gem" in Southern Missouri. If you get a chance to stop by this place you won't be disappointed. Make sure to check their page to see if you need to make reservations because there are some days they may sell out.
