Sixty-two feet of buffet line, and it’s loaded with catfish, frog legs, and peel-and-eat shrimp. That’s longer than a typical city bus, which feels like the right size for lunch. The catfish shows up three ways: fried, Cajun-style, and baked, in both fillets and steaks. Color me impressed,...

The menu has a few surprises, the outdoor seating has a view of passing trains, and the opinions about it run hot and cold.

This Arkansas Donut Shop Makes Homemade Donuts So Good People Travel Hours To Get A Box

The doors open at 5:30 in the morning, and the earliest visitors get the widest pick of the case. That alone tells me this little shop means business. I believe the best food stops have a short window and a long memory. This one has been frying dough since 1978, and new local owners kept the old recipes alive.

2026 Faces of Arkansas: Pasta Grill, Face of Catering

Suzanne and Wes Hall did not intend to get into the restaurant business. So far afield were their ambitions, in fact, that Wes obtained a degree in biology, and Suzanne picked up her own in criminal law. Their course was changed by friend and restaurateur David Bubbus Sr., and the Arkansas dining scene has been all the better for it. Pasta Grill opened in Russellville in 1994, later expanding into Conway and adding a franchise in Van Buren.

One breakfast counter on my list has served pancakes since 1940, and it still sets apple butter on the table next to the syrup. I love that kind of stubborn tradition. Another spot has been frying chicken since 1944 and landed in the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame in 2022. A third has served Southern comfort food under the same name since 1947.
