We walked in and were greeted and quickly brought to a table. We were also handed menus which showed simple American type food. They had soda, tea, coffee, sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, etc. the sides were potato salad, macaroni, tater tots, fries, slaw, etc. Everything was fairly cheap and sounded appetizing. We both got ice waters, and the 1/4 lb burgers with cheese and everything on them. We also ordered the sweet potato tater tots. Yes, you heard that right! We were curious because we had never heard of them. After about 8-10 minutes we got our food. The burger was great. Everything was juicy and fresh. Not a life changing burger but I had reasonable expectations for flavors. The sweet potato tater tots were different but quite good! They weren't crunchy like regular tots. They had a great sweet potato flavor and almost like a corn flake mixture. I wish they were crunchier but I'd still order the same thing again. I highly recommend it! Not amazing or spectacular food but great service and very cozy place to relax and rehydrate after mining. It's also very affordable. Hope you had better luck mining than we did!

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.

Since it's peach season, we went for one scoop of the peaches and cream ice cream ($3) and added a homemade cone for $1.50. The scoop was massive -- definitely enough for the two of us to split. Big chunks of juicy peaches in a smooth, creamy base made it a perfect summer treat. Bonus tip: if you bring your receipt from the sandwich shop next door, you get a free topping. We skipped it, but it's a nice little perk. Highly recommend for a sweet ending to your lunch!

We were here on a Friday after a morning of rock-washing at Crater of Diamonds and needed a reprieve from the brutal heat. I had the Ranchero Special with chicken and my dining companion had 3 street tacos - Al Pastor and carne asada. First, the staff were gracious and efficient. Our server was particularly attentive while not being intrusive. The decor might seem gaudy, but I've seen similar at other Mexican restaurants with excellent food. It was a nice change of atmosphere after having spent a couple hours in gray, dust-brown troughs of mud and gravel, shoveling piles of rocks into a bucket to be washed in a vat of murky gritty water. Some reviewers have said the salsa was just plain tomatoey, but I really liked it -- it had some light heat and is similar to what I've had at many Arizona Sonoran-style Mexican restaurants. Maybe those reviewers were expecting jars of Chi Chi's or Pace-not-"made in New York City!?"-Picante. The Ranchero Special was fine. The flavor profile was a little one dimensional, particularly with their white queso on it. The sliced tomatoes added a bit of acidic balance to that. My dining companion said her corn tortilla street tacos were pretty tasty. The pork in the al pastor had a little fat in it, but there were also a few good chunks of sautéed pineapple there. We also had a limonado drink which was very refreshing and delicious. Overall, a good place to have a meal if you're in Murfreesboro, AR and have nowhere else to go.

The owner and his partner make all the ice cream themselves, it's the real deal. I had a scoop of the strawberry on a waffle cone (also made on site), and couldn't hold a conversation until I was done inhaling the entire scoop. It was so delicious, with a great rich texture and amazing flavor. My friend had vanilla and said the same. Mamoo is changing the ice cream game for this town! They've got roughly 18(?) flavors to choose from, and really you can't go wrong. The owner is so nice, and happy to help you narrow down choices so that you get the perfect scoop. The shop is located slightly below street level. It's a little hard to find because you have to go through a small lobby first, then another set of doors to the right. But trust me, it's well worth the search. Definitely the best ice cream in town!

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.
