Oh, to be able to list every awesome Arkansas restaurant in one sweeping tribute! That, friends, would take you half a year to read and many years to eat your way through. These restaurants, though, are the highest rated restaurants across the state, according to the devoted reviewers on Yelp. Happy eating, everyone.
With a wide variety of upscale foods and comforting favorites, it’s no wonder The Pantry Restaurant is the top-rated dinner spot among Little Rock diners. You can find the totally rad restaurant and this crazy-delicious looking plate waiting for you at 11401 North Rodney Parham Road in Little Rock.
Calico County is Fort Smith’s favorite eatery, and it has tons of comfort food classics from the Southern food canon. The breakfast menu is fried, floating in gravy, and glorious. And the lunch and dinner menus offer options for light eaters and hearty eaters alike. Plus they serve you cinnamon rolls before your entree even comes. You can locate the most awesome free bread basket in the world at 2401 South 56th Street in Fort Smith.

This one might be a little bit difficult to pronounce for some of our Southern tongues, but Springdale diners say Taqueria Guanajuato is the best place to eat in their town. It’s got traditional Mexican cuisine, made fresh in the Taqueria Guanajuato kitchen, and boy-howdy is this place affordable! You can eat these ridiculously gorgeous sopes at 812 North Thompson Street, Suite 6, in Springdale. You can get those sopes for less than $3 a piece. Yes, I said "less than $3." There, I said it again.
If you happen to be looking for some upscale cuisine in the Jonesboro area, try the fantastic Omar’s Uptown. This one isn’t only a favorite among Yelpers, though; AY Magazine named them best chef, best date restaurant, and best overall service in Northeast Arkansas. You can find these gorgeous oysters and so much more at 301 South Main in Jonesboro.
