yep, we have one here in BV. I used to think they were pretty good, but now, they seem to be pretty pricey and just oK> I can think of other hamburger places that are a heck of a lot better. Like maybe, In and Out burger....

We have Popeyes and Sonic all over the place.

Rogers and Bentonville can have all the chains, I want unique local places in Fayetteville which fortunately we have. We just need some more. What we could really use is an Indian restaurant.

This is the South. We have a Sonic and a church on every corner.

On this side of the state it is a church, bank, and a sonic on every corner.

I am pretty sure the Sonics here outnumber the Mcdonalds and Burger Kings combined.

Cheesecake Factory is comming to the Pinnacle area next year. Will be the first one in the state. NWA is an unusually small market for them so it's surprising. I was hoping Little Rock would get it, but specialty chains usually test the waters in NWA first. Other than that, the Pinnacle area has become oversaturated and a few chains are starting to close up shop.

I'm tired of going to restaurants that all taste like the back of a Sysco truck. What NW AR and SW MO need are restaurants where the people actually COOK the food from scratch instead of opening a can of this or a frozen box of that and passing it off as real food. Yeech!

The Front Porch in Yellville is a great restaurant. If they use Sysco, you can't tell it.

So right, all they do is order from a major food prep company like Sysco, then charge $20.00 for the steak, of course they throw in a potato and salad. The salad also came out of a bag and if the potato isn't baked it arrived pre-cooked as well. that is why I call TGIF, Bennigans, etc fast food just like Micky Ds...
