“We were pleasantly surprised by this little gem of a restaurant. We were met with the friendliest staff and a wonderful man playing multiple instruments and singing gospel and Christmas songs. The food could have been cooked by my own mom in her kitchen at home. We loved our meal and the atmosphere. This will be a must stop anytime we're in the Van Buren area again.“

“Fun themed, southern food! The deep fried ribs and catfish were a family hit! We had a large group of 16 that was well tended to. A lot of different foods were tried and enjoyed by all!Deep fried ribs, catfish chicken fried steak, and meatloaf and corn on the cob were great! The side of "giant" onion rings weren't quite what we expected, only 3 but they were good. The fried okra was so good! Fresh baked cinnamon rolls are served in lieu of bread rolls. Sides galore, all were pleased.Vegetarian options: Veggie plates may be ordered from their large selection of sides.Wheelchair accessibility: One of our family members is in a power wheelchair and was easily able to get in and out to enjoy the meal.“

“Service was good. The croissants were amazing as usual. The food chicken strips are standard fare. We had quit going to the chain at another location because they had dropped the wonderful cheese curds. We found they are again on the menu, so we will be returning. The other location (Arlington) may be serving them again.“

“My friends and i stumbled upon Neuimers and we instantly loved it. They recently opened up their bar and it’s always a fun time. They have karaoke, reasonably priced drinks, and appetizers. The owner Kevin is very friendly and takes time to get to know his customers. A group of us grabbed dinner there one night and it was delicious. The brisket philly was really good as well their burger. If you’re looking for a good meal, Neumeiers is the place to go!“
