Did Your Favorite Restaurant Make Arkansas Food Hall of Fame Finals?

The results are in and the finalists have been announced. It's the 2024 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame.

There are so many great restaurants in the state of Arkansas that the Division of Arkansas Heritage decided back in 2016 to celebrate Arkansas' culinary heritage by recognizing the best restaurants, proprietors and food-themed events every year. Did your favorite restaurant make the list?

Marty Ryall, director of the Division of Arkansas Heritage, stated in a press release,

This year’s finalists embody the flavors, traditions and

stories that define Arkansas. As we celebrate these restaurants, we honor not only the dishes they create but the communities they feed and the legacies they preserve.

 

Earlier this year, Arkansans throughout the state had the chance to nominate their favorite restaurants.
