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.

The staff was great at Telinga's. Top notch service!…read more They are pet friendly. Being used to many place having to eat on the patio, I started out on theirs. It started to pour down rain 5 minutes into my meal, the staff let my pup and I eat at a quiet table in the back of the restaurant. I was so thankful to be able to have a good meal and not have to keep my pup in the car. The food was yummy. I ordered the steak and shrimp with horchata. I also had the brownie for dessert. It was good but a bit sugary. The steak and horchata were perfect though! Just what I needed after a long day on the road.

My husband says the best ability is availability and that holds true with this place. He also says…read moreI am a Mexican food snob as I grew up in San Diego and it's a whole burrito culture. If you know you know. This place is okay. Good rice. Right around Albuquerque, New Mexico you hit the Tex-Mex wall and people start doing weird stuff with white cheeses. The queso modified cheese food product flows freely. Disappointed that the veggies in my veggie burrito were frozen from a bag and the beans had that Smokey meat taste which is also a Tex-Mex wonder. Ugh, ya'll eat bbq too much. So, it is my fault that I ordered a random thing in a rural part of Arkansas. But honestly, where is the salsa at? Maybe it's time to keep your cheese drizzle and try a little fresh salsa drizzle. You might like it. Luckily we travel with salsa on us. Cause we're flippin weirdos okay, and again, it's burrito culture. The other thing I will say, is maybe there was some kind of plumbing issue but the whole restaurant smelled like urine. Like a dirty bathroom floor. And I know that's not how tex mex cheese is supposed to smell... so.. do with that what you will.

Hard to find as didn't realize it's under the Arlington hotel…read more The mocha one was best. Real good coffee flavor. The banana pudding was good. The biscof butter was too much and threw it away. The lemon was good and tart like an icebox. The dreamsicle was not close enough to real thing. Waffle cone was good but fragile. Still nice to grab a cone and walk up to lobby to listen to music.

A nice front desk employee at The Arlington showed us the beautiful staircase leading down. When we got there, I honestly thought it was closed because of the low lighting and how unclean it was. A friendly young female employee quickly greeted us, only to inform us they didn't have this, didn't have that. It sure didn't seem like it was because there was such a crowd because we were the only humans present! This place boasts "the only homemade ice cream on bath house row." I sampled the Black Walnut and was not impressed. My root beer float ($7) was fine. My oldest daughter didn't really care for her Coke float ($7). I guess it's because she had her heart set on Dr. Pepper that they didn't have. My youngest had a single cup ($5) of Birthday Cake. She enjoyed it. I'd probably go elsewhere for ice cream in Hot Springs, AR, next time. RATING BREAKDOWN Ice Cream: 3 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 2 | Price: 2

After a Walmart run, my 16-year-old requested Sonic because we don't have one back home and she LOVES their Blue Raspberry Slush with Nerds. Honestly, it had become part of her Arkansas wish list before we even left for vacation. This location doesn't have a traditional drive-thru, only the classic pull-in stalls with carhop service, which honestly added to the nostalgic old-school Sonic feel. Service was fast, staff was friendly, and our order was exactly right. We kept it simple with drinks, snacks, and a pretzel, but sometimes those random late-night snack runs become some of the favorite memories from a trip. Nothing over-the-top fancy here -- just a well-run Sonic with friendly employees and the classic drive-in vibe people expect.

We came in and the line was long…read more(I don't mind about the line, it's normal) but when it was our turn, the girl gave us all our orders and then let us wait at the register for a verryyyy long time. The line can't move if you can't check us out! Our ice cream was melting while we were waiting to get checked out. Not the girls fault unless they know better. Management should train to keep the line moving, have one person help the customer all the way down to the register and then go back to helping other customers. It's a lot faster and more efficient. I wish we had gone elsewhere, I've experienced this twice. Third times a charm maybe?
