Many restaurants in the Natural State are long-standing, and even some that aren’t have some major throwback appeal. Today, however, we’re going to discuss one of the oldest continuously running restaurants in Arkansas. It doesn’t only have throwback appeal, it has actual history. That restaurant is called the White House Cafe and it is located in the town of Camden.

You can find the White House Cafe at 323 South Adams Avenue in Camden.

White House Cafe was opened in 1907 by a Greek immigrant named Hristos Hodjopulas.

The cafe began as a place where railroad workers could get a good meal at any time of the day or night. These were the days before neon signs, of course.

In the 1940s, soldiers being moved around by train also found good eats at the White House Cafe.

The cafe has changed hands several times in the 110 years since it’s been around, but its tradition of serving great, home-style food has remained intact.
