Looking for some delicious food, tasty beverages, or scrumptious snacks in the state of Arkansas?? This is the post for you!
Eureka Springs, Arkansas
Anglers
If you are looking for a place to grab a bite that isn't located in the busy area of downtown Eureka Springs and don't mind a quick scenic drive, grab food at Anglers! I enjoyed my catfish and shrimp combo and my date loved the salmon and mashed potatoes. If you are looking to start with an appetizer...try the fried okra! The wait was super quick. You are in luck if you get to sit on the patio because the view of Arkansas nature is beautiful!
Main Street Cafe
Looking for a brunch spot in Eureka Springs?? Main Street Cafe is THE place to go! Start your morning off with a hot cup of coffee and a class of cold milk! The country ham was spectacular. I also had a side of homemade shredded potatoes, 2 over easy eggs, and a juicy biscuit. The omelet was savory and completely filled him up. We didn't make a reservation and got in time before the line. Regardless of the wait..totally worth it!
Eureka Springs Coffee House
Best place to grab coffee in downtown Eureka Springs! We ordered the smoked ham & cheddar omelette and the Razorback omelet...both were so large and tasty (we had to take a lot to go because of the generous portions). Both sides, the grits & potatoes, tasted fantastic. We also ordered some coffee, hot and cold. The place is pretty busy, but you can order on your phone and pick it up when it's ready. The inside is super clean & the staff is also very friendly!
Amigos
Amigos is a great spot to go if you are craving some Mexican food, chips & salsa, and/or a cold margarita. After a long day of walking around downtown Eureka Springs, the margarita flight hit the spot! I didn't get pictures of my plate (too hungry), but the I'd recommend trying the Stevens Special or the Maria's Taco Platter. You also can't go with with their enchiladas or the queso dip.
Eureka Charcuterie
Grab a dessert crepe at Eureka Charcuterie! Warm crepes, unique jams & jellies, flavorful meat, tasty cheese, dips, chips & crackers, snacks, jarred mustards, pickled vegetables, & more. Eureka Charcuterie is a great place to visit if you are looking for snacks or gifts, having guests over for dinner or a party, or simply looking to shop somewhere unique in the downtown area. We ordered a warm crepe with fresh strawberries and homemade crème. We also purchased a bag of unbelievably spicy pork rinds. Make sure to stop here while shopping in downtown Eureka Springs!
Sugar & Spite
Candy for dessert?? Not your typical candy store: Sugar & Spite has plenty of tasty & fun options! Snag a handful of your classics: War Heads, taffy, Air Heads, Hershey products & more. If you are feeling like trying something new: try a PB&J chocolate bar, cucumber Pringle's, prepared shredded squid, Jubes & or literally anything else in the store. Even if candy isn't your thing, you have to stop inside Sugar & Spite while shopping downtown Eureka Springs!
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Farrell's Lounge Bar & Grill
We went to Fayetteville from out of town to watch the football game and went I Farrell's to watch part of it. Thankfully we made it in time to get a seat at the bar because it was very packed. We tried a few different beverages but I really liked the "off the menu" pink lemonade martini the server specially made! Great vibes and the bartenders are very friendly!
JJ's Grill
We went to Fayetteville from out of town during the Arkansas game and decided to go to JJ's Grill to watch it. The place was PACKED and I'm surprised we got a seat, but I'm happy we did! The vibe was happy and fun! We ordered a burger and queso off of the game day menu. There were also some drink specials! I highly recommend going to JJ's for dinner, drinks, lunch, and to watch the game.
Bentonville, Arkansas
Rolling Taco
We stopped at the Rolling Taco food truck parked in the downtown Bentonville area during the weekend farmers market and absolutely loved our tacos! We tried the carnitas tacos with the hot salsa. They have a variety of different tacos fillings, along with breakfast burritos and tacos. These tacos and burritos are the perfect snack to enjoy while walking around the market. The food came out quick and the staff was very friendly. Make sure to try these tacos at the farmers market while you are in downtown Bentonville!
Bentonville Taco & Tamale
We checked out Bentonville Taco & Tamale while visiting friends that moved to the area. We had a fantastic dining experience! The restaurant is clean, vibrant, and modern with friendly, energetic staff. We started with the salsa trio served with house chips (your choice of salsa from the variety available). We tried both of the house tamales: pork & beef tamales with a red chili broth and the sweet potato tamales with a tomatillo-like broth. The rice and pinto beans tasted perfect with the tamales! If you are visiting Bentonville, make sure to check out this restaurant and let me know what you think!
Bentonville Farmers Market
If you are looking for the perfect weekend activity in downtown Bentonville, make sure to check out the farmers market! The entire downtown area is filled with vendors and stands selling a variety of items: fresh vegetables, cool Arkansas merch, tasty pastries, delicious food from the food truck's & restaurants, beautiful boutiques of flowers, and more. We stopped at the Rolling Taco food truck for tasty tacos! We also bought an Arkansas hat.
We spent a little over an hour at the farmers market. This activity is kid-friendly and dog-friendly. Check out the farmers market in downtown Bentonville during your next free weekend!
