Small menu, but big flavor! My favorite steak in Fayetteville is Doe’s queen cut filet and it’s always cooked to perfection! The soaked salad and boiled new potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to their delicious steaks. Try the tamales as an appetizer, they’re my family’s favorite.

Live Music
George’s is the oldest live music venue in Arkansas. Musicians have been playing tunes here since 1927. I have many great college memories that include this iconic bar. When in town, we always try to hit George’s Friday afternoon Happy Hour Concert! Ultra Suede, my favorite party band from the 90’s still plays here on occasion and it’s always a blast!
