For those who will be in town early and want good dining recommendations:

Love BBQ?

Wright's BBQ is a must while in NWA. With locations in Bentonville, Rogers and Johnson (Fayetteville), there is bound to be one close to you.


Did Someone Say Crepes?

Crepes Paulette in Bentonville is known for their delicious hand-held sweet and savory crepes!


Breakfast Fanatic?

Cathy's Corner in Siloam is one of our go-to's. They have funky hours, but the food is to die for!


The Buttered Biscuit, known for their scratch biscuits and beignets. They have 2 locations in Bentonville, one in Fayetteville and Springdale!


Date Night?

River Grille Steakhouse in Bentonville. Right off the interstate, this intimate and quiet restaurant is sure to meet the date-night criteria. Plus, their steaks are 1000/10!


Pastafina in Cave Springs is home to incredible Italian food.. just trust us on this one! It's so good that Big Ed from 90-Day Fiancé frequents it!


Bocca Italian Eatery & Pizzeria in Fayetteville serves up wood-fired pizza, house made pasta and steaks!


Coffee Lover?!

7Brew is a MUST... our fav! Originated in Rogers, Arkansas, 7Brew has now spanned over multiple states in the US.

My go-to order is an iced blondie with white chocolate, caramel drizzle, and cold foam. Damon's go-to is a Sunrise with Redbull. If it's cool out, their hot chocoalte is also out of this world.
