I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
When the weather is warm outside, we love spending time outdoors. We especially enjoy hanging out by our many rivers, lakes, and waterways. So, it’s great when we discover a restaurant by the water that has cool vibes and delicious food. That’s the best of both worlds, don’t you agree? Well, here are five waterfront restaurants in Arkansas that you must visit because they are truly out of this world.
If you’re looking for a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon outside, then you must visit Janssen's Lakefront Restaurant. This restaurant is nestled on the banks of Greers Ferry Lake in Edgemont, and it’s famous for its Sunday Brunch buffet. With Cajun inspired fare like crawfish étouffée and shrimp creole, as well as classic brunch favorites like omelets and Eggs Benedict, the patrons keep coming back for more. Take the boat and get there early to avoid the Sunday fun day brunch crowd.
Tucked neatly on the banks of Lake Hamilton is Fisherman’s Wharf, a casual eatery that offers the best waterfront views in Hot Springs. Along with the view, you can expect the food to be delicious. The restaurant serves the freshest oysters in the Ozarks, as well as burgers, seafood, and mouthwatering steaks. Sit on the deck and enjoy the laid-back vibes and the incredible food from this amazing lakefront eatery.
For the most delicious fried catfish in Arkansas, Donde’s White River Princess is the place to be. Dondie’s offers an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet, and it has the most amazing views of the White River. You’ll want to get there early to secure one of the best seats in the house or be sure to sit outside by the river to watch the sun go down.
One of Arkansas’ slices of heaven is in Lakeview, nestled on the banks of the White River. Gaston's is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. And while the resort offers great recreational activities, it’s the restaurant that will make you fall in love. It’s surrounded by huge windows that offer spectacular views of the river, and the food is nothing short of amazing. From fine dining eats to casual favorites, you’ll find something to satisfy your appetite. You’ll absolutely love this waterfront eatery.
For great vibes, delicious Latin cuisine, incredible views, and music that will make you forget you’re in Arkansas, you must visit Trejo’s De Lago restaurant. This Latin inspired waterfront eatery offers the most breathtaking views of Lake Hamilton. It’s the perfect spot to sit on the patio, watch the sunset, and enjoy a delectable drink. And with flavorful menu items like steak, shrimp, fish, tacos, burritos, and more, you’ll be delighted with this eatery.
And we would write about so many more if we could. But if you have a favorite that we didn’t list, leave the name in the comment section, and we will include the restaurant on another list.
