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.
Cotham’s in the City is “Where the Elite Meet to Eat”, and this famous restaurant in Arkansas has been the go-to spot for many years. What started as a mercantile store, has evolved into one of the most legendary eateries in the state. Foodies, celebrities, as well as politicians alike, have made their way to Cotham’s Restaurant to savor the most mouthwatering country cooking around. Bring your appetite and let’s explore the menu of this iconic Arkansas restaurant and all its deliciousness.
Cotham’s is located at 1401 W 3rd Street in Little Rock Arkansas, but the original Cotham Mercantile store that was built in 1912, tragically burned down in 2017.
If we must name drop, the list includes President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush, Terry Bradshaw, and Rick Springfield, just to name a few.

Even cast member Mountain Man from the wildly popular show Duck Dynasty came through to the old location. So, in many ways, Cotham Mercantile was definitely a popular place to be.
Today, the Little Rock location is continuing Cotham’s legacy and is one of the most iconic restaurants in Arkansas.
Are you ready to see why celebrities, politicians, and foodies flock to this joint? Of course, it’s because of the mouthwatering food that is out of this world.
The portion sizes are massive and include country favorites like fried green tomatoes, chicken fried steak, fried pork chops, chicken and dumplings, catfish, along with daily specials, and more.
While all the menu items are delicious, it’s the hubcap burger that has changed the game.
It's a MASSIVE 1-pound burger, served with fries or onion rings, that is delicious and cooked to perfection. As the name indicates, the 8-inch burger is almost the size of a hubcap.
If you think that sounds crazy, how about four of these juicy burger patties stacked up to make one ginormous burger?!
And you never know, you might see a celebrity walk through the door at this iconic Arkansas restaurant in Little Rock. Or it could be someone with their name on the wall.
