Murry’s Restaurant – Hazen, AR
This restaurant is cash only. It’s not often, at sixty, that we walk into a restaurant and bring down the average age, but I think we succeeded at Murry’s. Everyone in the place seemed to knows everybody else and I think we were the only people that a waitress didn’t hug and greet by name… […]
Jones Bar-B-Q Diner – Marianna, AR
A barbecue place that opens at 7:00 am, and doesn’t sell “breakfast foods”? I’m in. Open for 114 years (Yep – you read that right – one hundred and fourteen years!) and run by the fourth generation of the Jones family, this may be the oldest BBQ spot in the country. Located in a neighborhood, […]
K Hall and Sons Produce – Little Rock, AR

As we approached the white sign for Craig’s Bar-B-Q, it looked like my kind of place. Middle […]
Cotham’s Mercantile – Scott, AR
You have to love a place that has a dog-eared copy of Hamburger America sitting right by the cash register…. Working our way from Little Rock to Oxford, I had two or three stops planned – the first being Cotham’s Mercantile, in Scott. In the first version of the Hamburger America book that I bought, […]
McClard’s Bar-B-Q – Hot Springs, AR
This was the night that I was sure my insistence on relying on the GPS on my phone (as opposed to renting one) was going to come back and bite me in the butt. Leaving Dallas, with a hotel reservation in Little Rock, had left us with quite a drive ahead of us. I […]
