My friend was raving about this place (not many good places to eat out in the middle of nowhere…read moreArkansas), so while traveling we stopped by for dinner. We got couple cheeseburgers, seasoned fries, and sweet teas... Hit the spot! Burger is homemade from scratch and cooked perfect! They have homemade desserts too, different every day. We were too full to try but everyone says they are excellent too. The lunch special changes regularly (check their Facebook page), and at night they have rib-eye steaks. Not only is this the best place around to eat, it's the only place around! LOL... Seriously though, if you are traveling along Hwy 9 this is the place to go for lunch or dinner.

While visiting family in Arkansas from Florida, we stopped into Hawkins Variety Store and…read morehonestly...this place was just FUN. My absolute favorite thing in the store was the selection of hats -- especially the hilarious animal hats with ears that pop up and down when you squeeze the dangling paws. They were adorable little girls hats. I was thankful for my great-nephews because if I had great-nieces, we would have spent way more money in this store than intended LOL. Beyond the hats, they had a little bit of everything: old-school candy, toys, snacks, sandwiches, souvenirs, and Blue Bell Ice Cream. It definitely has that classic small-town variety store feel that's becoming harder and harder to find. One of our Arkansas family members treated us to ice cream, and mine was delicious. I went with strawberry in a waffle cone while my daughter chose cherry vanilla. One thing I found both funny and interesting -- all the cone options were the same price. The larger waffle cone cost the same as the smaller sugar cone, which means...obviously go big if you can because you can fit way more ice cream in it for the same cost. Cute little stop with personality, nostalgia, and some genuinely unique finds.

Need breakfast, snacks, gas, or fuel for your mower or camper? Apparently this is your stop. We visited while in town from Florida seeing family, and two locals in our group specifically recommended it. Even they commented that service was unusually slow that morning and apologized on behalf of the restaurant because apparently this wasn't the norm. It took about 10 minutes for someone to greet us and take drink orders, and probably another 30 minutes for food to arrive. Thankfully, the staff was very friendly throughout the experience. The food itself was delicious. The pancakes were massive -- literally the size of an adult's head -- fluffy, sweet, buttery, and almost tasted lightly fried around the edges in the best possible way with that little bit of crisp texture. Eggs were cooked perfectly, and I appreciated that the bacon was clearly made to each person's preference since some in our group ordered extra crispy while others preferred traditional-style bacon. Not a fancy place by any means, but definitely one of those local spots that feels woven into the community.

Food is prepared fresh, it's tasty and filling. Indeed among the best patty melts I have had anywhere in the nation. Fresh hand-made patties--cooked just right with a perfect amount of grilled onions. Homemade desserts too--the heath bar sheet cake was outstanding. You serve your own drinks--solid iced tea. My only complaint--they were out of tater tots and the crinkle fries were not consistently crisp. Lots of parking, for whatever you are driving.
