Some of the state’s best sites are also the most hidden. That’s certainly the case with Bluebell Café and Country Store. Tucked away in the Ouachitas, it’s pretty remote. Don’t let the rural locale deter you, though. It’s more than worth seeking out, and that’s because it has everything your heart desires, including some of the state’s best burgers.

Bluebell Café and Country Store is hiding in the tiny town of Story, just minutes from the Ouachita National Recreation Trail.

The café-store combo is a Story staple, serving the community since the 1950s. Over the years, it’s garnered a reputation for a few things, including doling out the “best burgers around.”
