I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
While many restaurants have come and gone, the White House Café has stood the test of time. Although it has switched ownership over the years, one thing has remained constant: this legendary eatery has been serving steaks longer than any other restaurants in the state. As the oldest restaurant in Arkansas, you’ll experience a bit of history with your meal.
Open since 1907, the White House Café is the oldest continually running restaurant in Arkansas.
In many ways, the menu isn't what you’d expect from an old-fashioned steak restaurant. In fact, because the eatery has switched ownerships numerous times, you’ll find a wide variety of offerings.

For appetizers or small plates, you can choose favorites like spring rolls, fried pickles, Irish nachos, shrimp, their world-famous cheese dip, and everything in between.
If you’re in the mood for Tex-Mex food, the White House Café has you covered. Try one of the sizzling fajita meals, or pick from enchiladas, tamales, quesadillas, and more.
Of course, there are also juicy burgers that will satisfy your foodie heart. Served with chips, onion rings, tater tots, or fries, as well as all the fixins.
The White House Café has been serving steaks for over 100 years. So, have no worries, your steak will be cooked to perfection.
