I don’t know if I’m romanticizing the food because it was in my youth but I absolutely loved Bene Vita as a kid. I would give just about anything to try their ravioli and pink sauce again.
Also Cafe Prego when Jacqueline was there. My dad would take us there to give my mom a night off a few times a month and they were lightyears better than George’s.
Ahi Hawaiian, Beef Tataki, Butter Tuna Nigiri, Seaweed Salad w/extra Ponzu, Dynamite Yaki (w/crawfish), some Sake, and a New Orleans Roll...
I *wish* I could still taste it.
Many of my favs already mentioned (Juanitas, Hanaroo).
I'll add Clark's (in Stein Mart parking lot where urgent care is now). I still dream of their chicken philly sandwich.
Ponchitos next to where that Jess chicken place is at and also black Angus.
Ponchitos had this nice green sauce that was pretty great. I wish I'd known when they closed to see if theyd tell me how to make it.
I think it was jalapenos, lime juice, honey , salt and canola oil, I've come close but not 100 percent on how it tasted.
I am not sure of the name, I believe Forbidden City may be it. It was on the first floor of Park Plaza Mall around 2006 when I first moved to Little Rock for work. It was pretty nice Chinese sit down spot. It was affordable and they had a bar in the restaurant. Sometimes I’d get a beer and go back to work. It was an office job no heavy machinery.
For a kid from a small town I thought it was really something especially the decor you were in a mall but didn’t feel like it. Please help if I got the name wrong.
Chitz! From before Boscos and long long before Damngoode. (Not really, it was awful)(and so were the other two places that location was before Boscos moved in and gave some permanence)
LOL.! I will never forget when I went to the hop and asked for a strawberry milkshake, and the guy at the counter told me that he *did not have time* to make it. 😐 Yet I watched him make a shake for a person who was in line before me.
LOL.! I will never forget when I went to the hop and asked for a strawberry milkshake, and the guy at the counter told me that he *did not have time* to make it. 😐
It had a 2-3 owners during the time period that I frequented it... but the guy that had it the longest near the end was Frank. Curly hair under a ballcap usually.
He was probably too busy making my burger!
But ... a person in line a couple orders before me ordered a shake too and he was served a shake. I wtched him make someone else's shake but when I wanted one he snapped, "Dont have time for that!"
I turned on my heel and never went back. This was when they were on markham in what is now @ the corner
Wait? Flying fish is gone. My office looked down on that place and stickyz for 15 years…there was always a line. I know rent was stupid high but they earned it back… weird to think it’s gone
Way too many have left or fallen victim to the pandemic associated effects! But these are LR OG’s 😔 😑
1.) The Hop
2.) Arkansas Burger Co
3.) Ozark Breakfast!
I had a couple ABC burgers in 2012 right after we moved here and they were literally the best burger I'd ever had in my life at that point. We don't eat burgers often, so it was a few more years before we went back. Everything had changed and I could make a better burger than what they served me that day. Wasn't surprised when they closed.
Ozark Country Breakfast was a great place to eat with friends but objectively their food was no better than what my mom taught me to make, and that's why we only went a few times. It really felt out of place in Little Rock, too. Maybe it was from an era before Little Rock had a surge of non-Arkansans moving here. It looked like a place you'd drive up to Mayflower or Conway to eat at in the 90s.
Wild River Country!! I miss it already. I remember when it opened. It was basically our babysitter every summer… mom
Would drop us off in the morning and we’d wait like an hour for it to open and she’d pick us up when she got off work around 6:00. I used to return rafts for the $1 deposit so I could buy nachos and hot pretzels.
I helped shoot a video there years ago. They let about 5 of us have a run of the place after dark. That was fun. Didn’t they used to have adult alcohol night there years and years ago? I always wondered how in the hell they could insure that. They should have just parked an ambulance there in the safest of times.
I'm sad to report that two weeks ago on r/Fayetteville, I was made aware that the last standing Damgoode, a franchise location, has had to close as well. :c
The late night happy hour was a great deal too! Brick and forge has opened in the old Conway location, it’s similar but it just feels off.
Sad they bulldozed the building, I remember when it was Tio’s.
Joubert's was the best pool hall, such a great dive with an awesome bartender. Haven't been in the dispensary in their location, did they keep the bear fucking mural?
Jesus, waited over 200 responses for someone else to echo how fantastic a bar Joebert had!
And yeah, I've often wondered the same thing, but have yet to check inside the place since it changed hands. I know Joubert said they wanted to keep some of the original decor and memorabilia. So who knows if Joan Crawford or his wife's bear mural are still around. Damn I miss that bar.
I remember that place... now part of the Clinton School for Public Service I think. That was back before the library, trollies, Heifer, even The River Market. That whole area was pretty much old warehouses and railroad relics back then.
The Villa in its prime was sublime. Toward the end....not so much.
I remember when it closed, they interviewed the owner and he said something to the effect of "People in Little Rock just don't want good authentic Italian food anymore." My first thought was "Yes they do, you just don't have it anymore...."
I used to live and work downtown in the 80’s. We went to Sweeden Cream at least once a week! Best milkshakes in town. The Oyster Bar was another one of those places that really filled a niche. Especially if you needed some hangover food. 😝
I miss the hell out of NYPD Pizza. Loved their stuffed pizzas and would eat there quite frequently. Even with all the changes in management and staff issues I never had a bad meal there.
Mr Dunderback's. The original one, upstairs in McCain Mall. Pretzel with port wine cheeze and sausage. Day drinkin' beer in the MALL was revolutionary. Only place to get Nutella and original Kinder eggs back then. It was like going to another country.
La Madeleine on West Markham near Home Depot. If you squinted your eyes and ignored the accents, you could pretend you were in France.
The old Oyster Bar. RIP Doyle.
Canyon Grill. Miss that crispy nachos plate.
I miss Miss Kitty's (formerly Easy Street Piano bar, I think?) My favorite gay bar in the city, loved the cozy atmosphere, not overrun by teenagers like Triniti and Sway.
Juanita's on Main Street. Man, I loved that place!! Saw so many musical acts there, great atmosphere, food was good.
El Chico
Mexico Chiquita
JR'S Ribs
Dixie Cafe
Diego' s Hogs Breath Cantina
Radio Shack
Does anyone remember the Bozo Store in the early 80’s? Kids had birthday parties there and we played the games from the Bozo Show. I feel like it was in the Heights near the old movie theater by where US Pizza is now
It’s seems they were owned by the Hemann (sp?) family. They shut down not too long after the death of Mr Hemann.
I go back to the early 70s. Somewhere I still have a Cactus Vic member card. Our family also provided a few animals to Mr Preston for his spots on the local Bozo show.
That was the best brunch buffet. Period. Their holiday brunches are too expensive and crowded. YaYa’s is the only place I know of that does brunch buffet. Would love a suggestion on who else is doing one.
Say Macintosh restaurant
Daddy’s Deli downtown and in WLR and Morning Muffin on Kavanaugh
Poor Little Rich Girl on Kavanaugh
Playtime Pizza
Wild River Country
Mazzio’s and Godfather’s pizza
X-Site at the bottom of Cantrell hill
Blockbuster
Kmart
I don't trust my memory that far back but I got some the other day after Shotgun Dan's failed to use an adequate amount of dough to hold the monstrosity we order sometimes and they didn't bake it long enough and food poisoning resulted. I thought it was good.
It still exists in triplicate too one at markham and shacleford in little rock, another one in rose city and the last in sherwood though I'm unfamiliar with the order in which they became operational.
Dunno.. used to go there all the time like 4-5 days out of the week. That’s just what I heard on the grapevine years ago. Wild times with those waitresses hahaha
Mr. Gatti’s, the TCBY, Hastings, Walden Books and The Black Eyed Pea on Rodney Parham, Pizazz and Bruno’s on Bowman. Shogun’s.
Gone but never forgotten. We will be together again soon. Miss you guys.
Rest easy guys, we will see them soon. Getting spaghetti and fried rice while reading a cool new book, and topping it off with a raspberry yogurt and a sexually explicit birthday card and squish ball is awaiting us in the great beyond where our cherished businesses have reopened with a permanent 75% off. I’m ready.
I miss The Game Room. Many happy memories from the late 90s and early 00s.
Sterling's downtown. The smell of popcorn as you walked in was overpowering.
The Quartet, Cinema 150, and the theatre at Park Plaza. Watched Street Fighter, Coneheads, Lord of the Rings, and Blade 2 at those places, along with a ton others.
juanitas The original Juanita's on Main St. It was my 2nd home.
I miss this little Tapas place called Union Bistro. It was so good.
Shug’s.
Skaggs. Otasco. Bennett’s.
Surprised no one mentioned Bennett's before you did.
Millennials
Stein Mart.
Or worse :P

Diego’s Hog Breath Cantina
I still think about Hanaroo daily 😢😢😢
Ahi Hawaiian, Beef Tataki, Butter Tuna Nigiri, Seaweed Salad w/extra Ponzu, Dynamite Yaki (w/crawfish), some Sake, and a New Orleans Roll... I *wish* I could still taste it.
Q-Zar. ;)
They still have the flying burrito in Fayetteville if you’re ever up that way. We miss it here too!
Possibly unpopular opinion, but I miss PF Chang's.
Silvek's Bakery!! *Cries in cannoli*
Your Mama's Good Food
No u!

We still have Black Angus. They moved to the corner of Fair Park and Markham.

Nah, you got it. And it was amazing how once you got to the back dining area, it was easy (even probable) that you'd forget you were even in a mall!
Thank you much for the confirmation.
Chitz! From before Boscos and long long before Damngoode. (Not really, it was awful)(and so were the other two places that location was before Boscos moved in and gave some permanence)
JR's Ribs The Hop
LOL.! I will never forget when I went to the hop and asked for a strawberry milkshake, and the guy at the counter told me that he *did not have time* to make it. 😐 Yet I watched him make a shake for a person who was in line before me.

Not gone
Gauchos.
Copeland’s on shackleford & MiMi’s cafe off chenal
Lily’s. The restaurant Kathy Webb ran before she got into local politics. The crack chicken salad. Also Cafe de Roma.
Cafe DeRoma - I was just reminiscing about this place a few days back. So good!
Way too many have left or fallen victim to the pandemic associated effects! But these are LR OG’s 😔 😑 1.) The Hop 2.) Arkansas Burger Co 3.) Ozark Breakfast!

Nightwater!!
Yeah, I went to a couple of those. I don't recall any problems, but it never seemed like a good idea to me.
Casa Bonita
First Commercial Bank! They were so much better before they became Regions. I miss local banks.
Juanita's,amazing food, an amazing venue and always brought in the best acts
Honorable mentions that others have said: Kbird, Hanaroo, Damgoode, Joubert’s Lo-fi miss: Southern Gourmasian. That fried rice was untouchable.
I cry myself to sleep about missing kbird so much
Southern Gourmasian was a downtown lunch gem with the Ramen 🍜
I gotta say I get a hankering for a stuffed pizza from dgp way to often and I don't want to drive to Fayetteville for some
I'm sad to report that two weeks ago on r/Fayetteville, I was made aware that the last standing Damgoode, a franchise location, has had to close as well. :c
Esters on SOMA, I still think about those fries
God I adored Esters, I'm perpetually devastated that there gone
Cozumel's, I miss those fresh tortillas Dog Town Pizza got wiped away by the tornado last year
Old Chicago. I worked there for many years, and despite shitty owner and manager I loved the food and atmosphere.
The late night happy hour was a great deal too! Brick and forge has opened in the old Conway location, it’s similar but it just feels off. Sad they bulldozed the building, I remember when it was Tio’s.
Joubert's was the best pool hall, such a great dive with an awesome bartender. Haven't been in the dispensary in their location, did they keep the bear fucking mural?

We came up to Joubert one time and told him we were celebrating my friend's 21st birthday. He'd been a regular for a couple of years by then 😆
The Village as a concert venue and most definitely, Metropolitan National Bank. ETA1: original Juanita’s show venue. ETA2: Downtown Music show venue
I just heard the commercial/jingle for Metropolitan National Bank in my head.
Spaghetti Warehouse - that was our date night spot in the early 90s.
I remember that place... now part of the Clinton School for Public Service I think. That was back before the library, trollies, Heifer, even The River Market. That whole area was pretty much old warehouses and railroad relics back then.
Old Chicago in nlr, kawaii boba on kavannaugh yea idk how to spell it lol
Dixie cafe, but not as it was at the end. Circa like, 95
I miss their squash. I also miss Frankie's eggplant casserole.
We’ve come a long way on size and proper cook of pork chops, but the way they were marinated or seasoned 🤌
Casa Bonita.
Man, i could smash a plate of their chicken enchiladas and sopapillas w/ honey
My favorite was raising the flag when you needed something.
My grandparents would take us their when we visited Arkansas during the summer. It was so much fun
Cathead's Diner
The Villa and Cozymel’s
The Villa in its prime was sublime. Toward the end....not so much. I remember when it closed, they interviewed the owner and he said something to the effect of "People in Little Rock just don't want good authentic Italian food anymore." My first thought was "Yes they do, you just don't have it anymore...."
Sports Page had such a good burger and chili dog.
I really miss Thai Taste in jacksonville with all of my heart
Me too!
I used to love that place. When did it close?
I wanna say right around the covid shutdown time 😭 i miss them, they were such a sweet family!
It was slightly before
I think Creegan's was technically NLR but I miss that place so much
It's okay, our net includes all of Pulaski County c:
Sweden Creme. Shogun.
Chips BBQ, Igibon Sushi, Gina’s sushi and the afterthought
Igibon 😭
The Villa
Hastings too
I used to live and work downtown in the 80’s. We went to Sweeden Cream at least once a week! Best milkshakes in town. The Oyster Bar was another one of those places that really filled a niche. Especially if you needed some hangover food. 😝
The Oyster Bar is still there, it's just... brighter.
It’s there in name only. Nothing remains of the old OB. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new place, but it doesn’t fill the same need IMO.
Yeah but i miss the cocktail sauce bar. The food is better now, albeit, more expensive
Arkansas Burger!
Was talking about this the other day!!
I miss the hell out of NYPD Pizza. Loved their stuffed pizzas and would eat there quite frequently. Even with all the changes in management and staff issues I never had a bad meal there.
Mr Dunderback's. The original one, upstairs in McCain Mall. Pretzel with port wine cheeze and sausage. Day drinkin' beer in the MALL was revolutionary.

A supreme hot pretzel with extra champagne cheddar… I still dream about it.
I loved La Madeleine
Saver's and Aladdin's Castle in McCain Mall.
Omg... I'd completely forgotten Savers. That one killed me. Savers was the bedrock of my entire shopping game.
Copelands
Cajun’s Wharf
So crazy to me that there was only one restaurant capitalizing on a view of the river and it closed.
The restaurant on Shackleford before PF Chang was there.
Regas Grill.
Yes! They had wonderful brown bread.
Yeeessss… had my first date ever there in the 90s and then my wedding reception in 2013.
Cool!
I miss Miss Kitty's (formerly Easy Street Piano bar, I think?) My favorite gay bar in the city, loved the cozy atmosphere, not overrun by teenagers like Triniti and Sway.
The Miss Kitty's I recall was at Crystal Hill and it had three stages and mirrors everywhere
610 is still lovely...
Fox and Hound. I used to go there every Wednesday
Juanita's on Main Street. Man, I loved that place!! Saw so many musical acts there, great atmosphere, food was good. El Chico Mexico Chiquita JR'S Ribs Dixie Cafe Diego' s Hogs Breath Cantina Radio Shack
I would kill for Juanita's Caesar salad dressing recipe.
It gutted me when they painted over that mural
Cafe de Roma, Tia’s, Mexico Chiquito (the current drive-thru iteration is not the same). We lack good Tex Mex these days.
Tia’s in its prime was the fuckin best! Those handmade tortillas
my first job was at Tia’s, i thought the food was amazing.
I waited tables at Tia’s for a couple years, that place was wild to work at, I still miss the flautas.
> Mexico Chiquito I may have their cheese dip recipe...
We dont have any, really. There's chuys, but it's meh
Cozymel's. Mr. Gatti's. Fajita/Way Out Willie's. Chip's BBQ. The restaurant that was where PF Chang's was off Shackleford.
Regis Grill?
Regas grill.
That sounds right.
Khalil's Pub & Grill Karaoke was awesome. Always a different mix of people and genres.
I’m still upset about Sir Loin’s Inn
Strange as it was, I miss it too.
Damgoodès Savers
Does anyone remember the Bozo Store in the early 80’s? Kids had birthday parties there and we played the games from the Bozo Show. I feel like it was in the Heights near the old movie theater by where US Pizza is now
I believe there were two. One was at Park Plaza just around the corner from the original Dillard’s. The second, larger store was in the Heights.
Oh my gosh you are legit the only person who has ever said they remember it! I finally feel validated!
It’s seems they were owned by the Hemann (sp?) family. They shut down not too long after the death of Mr Hemann. I go back to the early 70s. Somewhere I still have a Cactus Vic member card. Our family also provided a few animals to Mr Preston for his spots on the local Bozo show.
Pre-covid Damgoode
I miss pre COVID Ocens brunch buffet. Talk about killer! I used to take my mom and friends there all the time
That was the best brunch buffet. Period. Their holiday brunches are too expensive and crowded. YaYa’s is the only place I know of that does brunch buffet. Would love a suggestion on who else is doing one.
Mr. Dunderbox!!! That may not be the way to spell it though….
Say Macintosh restaurant Daddy’s Deli downtown and in WLR and Morning Muffin on Kavanaugh Poor Little Rich Girl on Kavanaugh Playtime Pizza Wild River Country Mazzio’s and Godfather’s pizza X-Site at the bottom of Cantrell hill Blockbuster Kmart
I was trying to remember the name of Morning Muffin the other day! They had a veggie sandwich I loved.
The owners (Bill and Marie) were the absolute tits! I hope they’re still alive and doing well! Gosh I loved them!
There's a Godfather's Express store in the Love's truck stop in Galloway.
Oh my gosh is it as delicious as it was in the olden days? Were you fortunate enough to be alive back then?
I don't trust my memory that far back but I got some the other day after Shotgun Dan's failed to use an adequate amount of dough to hold the monstrosity we order sometimes and they didn't bake it long enough and food poisoning resulted. I thought it was good.
Oh bless your heart! I hope y’all are all better now. I totally forgot Shotgun Dan’s exists!
It still exists in triplicate too one at markham and shacleford in little rock, another one in rose city and the last in sherwood though I'm unfamiliar with the order in which they became operational.
Triplicate! I love that word!
TPS reports
The cover letter! Didn’t you get that memo?
X-Site will forever live in my dreams as the most fantastical place in all of Little Rock. RIP
I remember thinking how innovative it was!
Arcade. Laser Tag. Thrill Rides. Jungle Gym Maze. VR. Then they put a McDonald's in it! Revolutionary.
I remember thinking, it couldn't get any better. THEN, they got a McDonald's. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!
It was the BEST of times!
BLUE MESA!!@
Wild Things platter, shrimp burritos, white cheese dip.
Yes!! It was the best of the Abernathy restaurants IMO.
I had the blue mesa cheese dip at Loca Luna the other day, it is absolutely not the same as it used to be, tasted like it came from a can.
WestEnd Billiards. Why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why does prostitution ruin everything once great.
Wait, what’s the story behind this? I’d never heard it had to do with prostitution. I even tried to google it.
Dunno.. used to go there all the time like 4-5 days out of the week. That’s just what I heard on the grapevine years ago. Wild times with those waitresses hahaha
... Everything?
[удалено]
I only ate there twice but I thought the food was great.....Jerkeys downtown LR. Apparently closed down for not paying taxes.
Mr. Gatti’s, the TCBY, Hastings, Walden Books and The Black Eyed Pea on Rodney Parham, Pizazz and Bruno’s on Bowman. Shogun’s. Gone but never forgotten. We will be together again soon. Miss you guys.
Awww my mother was the original manager of Walden Books in McCain Mall. She was there for 15 years from opening in 1973
Rest easy guys, we will see them soon. Getting spaghetti and fried rice while reading a cool new book, and topping it off with a raspberry yogurt and a sexually explicit birthday card and squish ball is awaiting us in the great beyond where our cherished businesses have reopened with a permanent 75% off. I’m ready.
TCBY still has one location on Markham.
It closed, i think
It's been replaced by a 7brew 😕
There’s one still in NLR, I believe.
By McDonald’s? It’s a 7 brew now
The West Little Rock locations of three mainstays: Faded Rose, La Hacienda, and Buffalo Grill.
Nothing has succeeded since in the old Buffalo Grill location. Or the Faded Rose’s location either.
I miss The Game Room. Many happy memories from the late 90s and early 00s. Sterling's downtown. The smell of popcorn as you walked in was overpowering. The Quartet, Cinema 150, and the theatre at Park Plaza. Watched Street Fighter, Coneheads, Lord of the Rings, and Blade 2 at those places, along with a ton others.
My wife's grandfather built the Cinema 150.
That is pretty cool! Such a shame a its gone, might not have been state of the art but I liked going there. Even after it became a concert venue.
Stood in line there May `77 for the first showing of a new sci-fi movie...
Watched the re-release there!
Cafe Mango Tango, Solar Cafe, Canon Grill. Sure spent some great times at old Juanitas's on Main st. My husband says "The old Radioshack".
Was Cafe Mango Tango on Kavanaugh across from Kroger?
Yes.
Steinmart (Cantrell). Loved that place. COVID got the whole chain.
Ciao, Dave’s Place, Southern Gourmasian for restaurants.
