South on Main

Top choice in Arkansas


This wonderful spot is a gastronomic pet project of The Oxford American, the South's seminal quarterly literary magazine. It embraces the foodways of the region with a verve and dynamism that is creative and delicious: catfish comes with cornmeal pancakes, while rabbit leg is wrapped in country ham. A great bar and frequent live music round out the awesome.
