To say that it is difficult to keep up with new restaurant openings in NWA is an understatement. Like every new business, new restaurants need customers, and that means that diners have to be willing to give them a try. It is very easy to patronize our old standbys, but if you’ll make a commitment to try the new ones on a regular basis, you just might be pleasantly surprised with a delightful, memorable meal.
