All of Northwest AR (Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville) is a largely growing area! About an hour away from Eureka and a perfect day trip. A great place to shop, drink craft beer at several local breweries, visit the famous Crystal Bridges Art Museum, check out the University of Arkansas campus, and so much more.

Food Scene
Sparky's Roadhouse Cafe
147 E Van BurenBest burgers around.
I haven’t had anything here yet that I didn’t love. Great place to get a drink as well, but will be pretty packed during football games, so get there early. Both biker and family friendly.

Myrtie Mae's
207 W Van BurenMyrtie Mae’s serves all meals, but my favorite is breakfast.
This is actually located in Berryville which is about a 20 minute drive, but it is quite the little local secret. It’s nothing more than a hole in the wall, but they have the best egg rolls on the planet. Every time I go, I make a meal out of 2 Lucky Dragon egg rolls and a cup of egg drop soup. No need for anything else. Pro tip: They only take cash. Luckily there is an ATM in the Berryville Walmart parking lot. Also, they are often closed with only a sign on the door, so never hurts to call ahead of time before making the drive.

Probably my favorite downtown restaurant. Look forward to burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soups, but they are also well known for their breakfast and brunch.

Just tried this for the first time recently and thought it was great. They have the classics, but also some creative recipes as well.
