"The vibe is chill and unique (being on the 2nd floor of an old style hotel).
The food was great! We ordered the white wings - absolutely delicious! The chicken was juicy, and the bacon was crispy. I'd order these again for sure.
We ordered the Cobb salad, the BBQ burger, and two orders of the Veggie sandwich - one added chicken and one regular.
The salad was a typical Cobb salad, nothing crazy but it was enjoyed.
The BBQ burger was delicious. It was a large and solid burger!
The veggie sandwich was good but had the potential to be fantastic. The added chicken breast was juicy, but the fried green tomatoes were very oily and slightly burnt. I've seen other reviews about this sandwich, so I think this was just a one-off. I'd order it again to try once more. The onions were delicious but not a jam. They were more sautéed than jammy. Delicious either way!
Drinks were awesome and refreshing! Our server was a sweetheart as well!
We will definitely come back next time we are in town."

"We’ve eaten at the Balcony Restaurant many times in the past, today visiting after a cave tour at cosmic caverns (recommend!). Usually, we sit outside and really enjoy the atmosphere and sweeping views of the Eureka Springs historic district. Today we ate indoors and found the ambience a little less enjoyable. The food is always pretty good although today my daughter‘s grilled cheese sandwich was somewhat lacking. She is a connoisseur of grilled cheese sandwiches the world over, and found the char-blackened bread to be less than great. Luckily, she was pretty happy with the croissant club that my wife shared with her. Overall, the food was good. Kids love the game room, so that’s always a plus! I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Eureka Springs for more than a day or two to visit the restaurant if for no other reason than just to appreciate the history of the restaurant and hotel."
