    This facility is still being nicely maintained, and is an excellent stop for obtaining Arkansas tourism information, utilizing their immaculate restrooms, walking your dog (on leash), or just taking a break from driving.

    My first time in Arkansas 2021

    One of my goals in life is to travel to all 50 United States. I flew into Memphis, Tennessee and was able to drive (30mins) to another state. This Arkansas welcome area is like a rest stop area. Since the welcome to Arkansas sign is on a bridge and there's no way you can stop to take a photo in front of it, I'm glad I was able to find this a sign at this rest stop area.

    Rocking chairs to pass time in airconditioned building.

    Probably the cleanest and best maintained welcome center we've ever encountered and we roadtrip a lot. The bathrooms had a clean wood smell to them (not urine and not Pine-sol chemicals), the front desk people were friendly and smiling, there was a kid area with toys, a checkers game with two rocking chairs, free coffee and cookies, and more maps than you could possibly need, all organized into what looked like a map-library. The outside area was very clean, well maintained, with multiple picnic benches that had roofs shielding form rain/sun, plenty of garbage receptacles and therefore hardly any litter. If every place took such good care of their establishment this would be a much cleaner and inviting world.

    This is definitely the best experience I have ever had at a state welcome center. The building is immaculate, filled with useful information and diversions for the kids, and staffed with very, very friendly and knowledgeable folks. They are ambassadors for Arkansas and they take it to heart! I know so much now about Arkansas and what I can do within a 60 minute drive from West Memphis. I've got to say Thank You!

    See all

    I just stumbled across this place, it's a local favorite, off the beaten path from the interstate…read morebut you can tell lots of history here. The waitress was a piece of work, very homey and its the kind of place that when ordering and trying to decide on what to order, adjacent table will chime in and offer their advice. I got the ribs-wet really succulent and as good as anything I've had in Memphis, very tasty and not needing much of any BBQ sauce. the sides also very good. Only downside to the place is no alcohol of any kind sold here.

    Stopped here while traveling from Mississippi on my way to Chicago and it truly turned out to be an…read moreexcellent choice. This place evidently has been doing there thing here for a minute or two and it's easy to see why they have made it such a long time. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which came topped slaw. The pulled pork was very good... well smoked but not not overly smokey. Unlike most pulled pork I've had it was very lean and not at all greasy/fatty. The slaw on the sandwich was vinegar based and tasted to me exactly like dill pickles. I usually don't like this type of slaw but it truly paired well with the smoked pork, cutting through the smoke and helping to bring out its flavor. Sauce was optional with a choice between a vinegar/red pepper based sauce and a thicker/sweeter version with a similar taste profile. Both were tasty but truly not needed as the pork in the sandwich stood just fine by itself. The fresh cut french fries were fried exactly like my mother fried them... crispy on the ends and soft and fluffy in the interior... a delicious fry indeed. Good things stand the test of time and this place is a perfect example of that concept. Keep on doing what y'all are doing... it's working just fine!!!

    3.5 Stars…read more The Asian 'Zensations Zalad' Perked My Interest! I was looking for something to eat on the lighter side as I had been out for business dinners a few nights in a row in Blytheville. I had never eaten at a Zaxby's and was curious to try their food. Zaxby's is a national chain with a focus on Chicken and Fried Chicken and they also have other items on the menu as well. The staff was great and helpful and answered my questions about the food and suggested I try the Grilled Chicken Zalad from the 'Asian Zensations' menu as I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The Asian Zensation Zalad is a mixed greens salad with grilled marinaded chicken and comes with an egg roll. The chicken is served with a honey sesame teriyaki glaze, made with soy sauce, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, honey, brown sugar and wonton strips. The egg roll is marketed as hand-rolled in a crispy wonton wrapper, filled with shredded cabbage, carrots, green onion and seasoning and served with Zaxby's signature Sweet & Spicy sauce. The 'Zalad' lacked greens but came with a very healthy portion size of chicken. The egg roll tasted like it was a frozen egg roll that was heated up. I would give this salad 3.5 stars overall for its price range and flavours. The Restaurant itself has plenty of seating and the walls are adorned with sports memorabilia from the local sports teams, which give the interior a homey feel. There weren't a whole lot of people in the restaurant but there were many cars lined up in the drive though. Zaxby's is one of the only Fast Food options in the Blytheville area with a focus on Chicken.

    Do not go to this one. Incredibly slow even when low order volume and poor hustle from employee…read more Zero sense of urgency
