Quite a few staples come to mind when picturing classic Arkansan foods: chocolate gravy, cornbread, cheese dip, or just fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes. Another delicious delicacy that any Arkansan would gladly order is a fried bologna sandwich. Bologna, or as Southern Arkansans have tastefully dubbed it, Arkansas round steak is one of those menu items that can be found everywhere but everyone has an opinion of who serves the best. Let’s drive down to El Dorado to a little grill that locals love for their round steak.

Johnny B's Grill is an absolute gem in Southern Arkansas.

As soon as you walk through the door, you'll feel right at home. Everyone is a friend at Johnny's.
Johnny B's mostly advertises for their all-day breakfast, but that's not why we're here today.

Although their gourmet waffles should definitely be ordered on one of your return trips. Or splurge and have one as dessert.
Our favorite thing is the classic fried bologna sandwich.

The taste and the price will fill you with nostalgia. The scrumptious sandwich will only run you about $3.50. Pair your Arkansas round steak with biscuits, soup, or fries to make it a square meal any time of day.
It's really hard not to find a mouthwatering meal at the grill.
