This homie little country diner/café/restaurant was exactly what we wanted after mining for…read morediamonds for 6 hours. Although we didn't find any diamonds, we were still very hungry and thirsty. 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.

Stopped by after lunch at the sister restaurant next door, Brick and Bread. This cute little ice…read morecream shop offers about ten flavors of ice cream & gelato, plus 4 of frozen yogurt. 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!

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.

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!
