New Restaurant Report

A new restaurant pops up somewhere just about every hour of every day. The part of the world I call home has produced at least it's fair share over the past several years and this little place is one of them.

As my old friend Nickademus often says, you might want to run a test pattern on this place at your earliest convenience. The 3rd Street Eatery & Bakery is located in Bentonville, Arkansas just off "The Square", behind the splash park and catty-corner to the 21c Museum Hotel.

The proprietors took a somewhat raggedy out of date building and converted it into what you see here. As Nickademus would say, they have a menu of "sundry" food offerings and assorted beverages from which to choose.

Based on my personal experience, this little place is sure to please to average pallet. The setting is comfortable, the fair is fresh, and service is efficient. The average menu item is of course priced a little higher than a fish sandwich and fries at the McDonald's just down the street. As is usually the case, however, you get what you pay for. As a bonus, you can walk right out their front door and in about 6 seconds be on your way down the trail and through the woods to Alice's place aka: The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. And that's something to think about!

All that said, give 'er a shot and tell them some guy you've never met sent you. Also, tell them I'll keep the world posted on how they're doing.
