There's really no better to way to prepare for an Arkansas trail or camping excursion than having a hearty meal. Brown's Country Store & Restaurant will leave you totally full without draining your bank account. Let's tuck in to plate or two of buffet's endless options and stroll around this two-story gem.
Arkansas families have enjoyed Brown's Country Store & Restaurant for decades.
The Browns opened their store back in 1973. What began as a quaint breakfast stop evolved into the mammoth country store we're familiar with today.
Address: 18718 Interstate 30 North, Benton, AR 72019.
The restaurant draws in hungry crowds with an impressive 100-foot all-you-can-eat buffet.
The buffet features important Arkansas food groups such as beans and cornbread, southern vegetables, fish and fowl, and cobblers. Just about any dish you enjoyed growing up can be found somewhere in this feast.
Have a southern Sunday supper any day of the week at the restaurant.
The daily specials will leave you drooling but so will the everyday staples along the buffet line. Chicken n' dumplings, fried green tomatoes, fresh turnip greens, and yeast rolls are just some of the scrumptious options. You may need to skip a meal to have enough space to try all of your favorites.
It's okay if you eat too much, you'll be able to walk off your meal by exploring the store.
The two-story country store primarily features local crafts like quilts and artisan jellies. In addition to the old fashioned toys and southern flair, the store also contains a dazzling candy shop. The salt water taffy and 30 flavors of fresh fudge are just some of the tantalizing sweets offered in the shop.
