Stuttgart, Arkansas


MBK

Recommended Posts

I'm heading to Stuttgart, Arkansas on business later this month. Any tips on food, either there or in Little Rock (or between the two)? (And, on the off chance anyone can opine on whether the Days Inn or Best Western is the better of the hotel options in Stuttgart - I'll take advice on that as well!)

Thanks...

Innocuous threads like this are deceivingly important.

I had a last-minute trip to Greensboro, NC today, and while the information there was useful, I had MSG-free Thai Noy (do we really not have a fuckin' thread for Thai Noy?!) last night and just didn't want it again, given my constraints. Thus, I was left to wing it (which I do quite well, but boy oh boy, it sure is easier finding somewhere on donrockwell.com than on TripAdvisor.com or Yelp.com - not only easier, but dead-near guaranteed to be leaps-and-bounds better).

Please, please, answer Marni's question if you know anything about Stuttgart, AR, and even if you think you *may* know something based on hearsay, then post a response - she's an intelligent girl and can piece together the (crossword) puzzle as well as anyone I know.

So how was Greensboro? Perfectly acceptable, but only because I have DonRockwellian search skills and know what to look for. Hotel, too.

Let's give it the ol' heave-ho, kind gents and gentle damsels!

I've never been in Stuttgart, Arkansas although I've been in both Stuttgart, Germany and Little Rock many times each. http://www.cajunswharf.com/ is the link to a restaurant on the river in Little Rock that I like and believe is excellent if you're travelling on business and want a good meal in a nice environment with some personality. No, it's not Fisher's bbq (worth a trip) nor McClard's in Hot Springs (40 miles?), certainly not Restaurant August but it would be worth the round trip drive. I also do not want to sound arrogant but with 30+ years of heavy travel-and all due respect to Days Inn and Best Western-I would commute to Stuttgart from Little Rock and stay in the Peabody http://www.peabodylittlerock.com/ Cajun's Wharf is less than a mile away.

For a serious alternative in Little Rock I'd also give consideration to Doe's Eat Place which has a great deal of character and a national reputation: http://www.doeseatpl...et/history.html It's just a few blocks from Cajun's Wharf. If I could only choose one it may be Doe's. Or, I'd drive in from Suttgart on successive nights and try both. If you choose Doe's you'll probably love it. Then, some time some way you'll have to try the original in Greenville which is a Great American restaurant.

Also, fwiw, Craig's in Duvalls Bluff has serious bbq, too. http://www.roadfood....iew/2453/craigs Duvalls Bluff is also home to the Family Pie Shop: http://www.roadfood....family-pie-shop
