LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — Thanksgiving is nearly here, and in Little Rock, that means one thing: it’s almost time to talk sweet potato pie. For the last 12 years, the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center has hosted the “Say It Ain’t Says Sweet Potato Pie Contest,” a pie-loving tradition created to honor the legacy of Little Rock sweet potato pie king Robert Say McIntosh, who died in 2023.

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.

Braum’s: The Regional Dairy Empire That Refuses to Go National

Drive through Oklahoma, western Arkansas, north Texas, Kansas, or parts of Missouri, and you’ll likely see a familiar sign: Braum’s Ice Cream & Dairy Store. At first glance, Braum’s can look like another regional fast-food restaurant. There are hamburgers, fries, breakfast biscuits, and chicken sandwiches. Walk a few steps farther, though, and there is an old-fashioned ice cream counter. Then, tucked into the same building, is something even more unusual—a small grocery market selling milk, butter, cheese, eggs, bread, meat, produce, and cartons of Braum’s ice cream.

Down below, an Argentinian kitchen is turning out golden empanadas that have earned a 4.5 star average across more than 1,200 reviews. The setting feels tucked away, yet the River Market district is only steps from the entrance.

7 Must-Try Restaurants In Russellville, Arkansas That Are Worth The Drive In 2027

One dining room in Russellville, Arkansas, sits partly inside a historic train car built in 1918. Yes, you can eat lunch in a train car that’s older than sliced bread. I love how that’s only one surprise on this list. Another spot has served food since 1947 and came back fast after a fire.

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.

8 Legendary Arkansas Diners That Every Food Lover Should Visit In 2027

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.

The restaurant, Simply Delicious, has been remarked for its excellent food, reasonable prices, and service with a smile. And guess what? It is almost completely run by high school students.
