Nestled on the shore of Lake Hamilton is Fisherman’s Wharf. This nautical-themed restaurant is a favorite of many locals.
The restaurant is closed on Mondays but is open at 11 a.m. on the other days, just in time for lunch.
Fisherman’s Wharf takes advantage of its location on the lake by offering its patrons boat slips for them to park. How cool is that pulling up to a restaurant in your boat?
Along with the boat slips, there is also indoor and outdoor seating available. But you must sit outside on the airy covered deck so that you can enjoy the panoramic views of the lake.
While the views are amazing from the deck, there is another reason to sit out there. You will see ducks, geese, turtles, fish, and more on the lake!!!
These animals are always swimming alongside the deck waiting to be fed some of the delicious food. The kids will absolutely love interacting with and feeding them. How adorable are these turtles?
And speaking of food, Fisherman’s Wharf has a vast seafood menu to choose from. A favorite is the crab-stuffed shrimp, it’s so flavorful and delicious.
You’ll also love the raw oyster bar...
...where you can enjoy the freshest oysters in Arkansas.
But if you’re not a fan of seafood, the restaurant serves other menu items. So, have no worries, you will find something delicious to eat.
Another cool feature of this restaurant is the aquarium that is found inside. While you can’t feed these colorful fish, you can watch them gracefully swim around in the tank.
Take a look at some of the amazing food you can try here:
There are tons of other decorative animals on the walls and throughout the restaurant. Therefore, whether you sit indoors or outdoors, you will encounter animals as you dine at this aquarium restaurant in Arkansas. This makes Fisherman’s Wharf truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience.
