I'm hearing a rumor it burned down ETA- confirmed

A damn shame. An Arkansas treasure and the oldest black owned restaurant in the country.

The family plans to rebuild Link to gofundme

They still have the newer one in Little Rock. I always wanted to try the hubcap burger but they have weird hours.

I have eaten at the one downtown, but I heard the old one was better.

Craig’s in Devalls Bluff

Have heard from several reliable sources that they have gone downhill since the new ownership took over.

Recently? I'm not really sure, last year or two I would imagine.

Some of the best places to eat look like shacks.
