Every week, the Arkansas Times reviews a local restaurant. Reviewers visit anonymously and pay their own tab. The newspaper receives no consid-eration in exchange for the reviews. From those reviews, the newspaper compiles a list of capsule reviews. The list covers virtually all the essential stops on the Little Rock dining scene, but, of course, it’s constantly changing.

The Arkansas Times keeps up with the changing restaurant scene. See newsstands all over the city and pick up your free copy of Arkansas’s source for news, politics and entertainment, and find our daily reporting, including our food blog Eat Arkansas, at arktimes.com.

To make your dining experience more pleasurable and easy to navigate, we’ve listed restaurants by area and neighborhood such as downtown, midtown, west, southwest and airport and by cuisine in their respective areas. Simply use the grid code after each review to locate the restaurant of your choice on the map at the back of this guide. It’s always best to make a phone call to confirm the information listed and to get specific directions. Restaurants are listed in alphabetical order by food category in each area of the city. Enjoy your stay!
