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.

Pasta Grill opened in Russellville in 1994, later expanding into Conway and adding a franchise in Van Buren.
