Arkansas Burger Company

So my boyfriend loves cheeseburgers and fries.  Its like, his favorite meal of all time.  I can't blame him, it's classic American grub. What I will blame him for are the extra pounds I will be picking up here soon if I continue with him on this venture to find the best burger in central Arkansas.  Our relationship doesn't need that strain; so needless to say, I will not be posting about the best burger in town ever again.  Or so I tell myself...

Friday we stopped in at Arkansas Burger Company.  Not much to look at on the outside, and a small parking lot to be sure.

**I'm a dummy and didn't take a photo of the outside of the building so I borrowed this one linked to their myspace.com homepage.

Visually speaking, things did not improve upon entering the joint.

I get it.  It's a mom and pop type of place.  That's really cool.  And the fact that probably every single thing hanging on the wall promoted our beautiful state makes it hard for me to say this, but the decor, the vibe, is hokey.  This place needs a face lift.  =(

Anyway, back to the burger.  I ordered the basic cheeseburger with hot cheese and everything on it.

Sadly, the burger was nothing to look at either, but, boy, was it good.  I can't say whether it's the best burger in town (I try not to eat too many), but I bet its on everyone's top ten list.  Maybe even top five.  The point is, don't take your lady to Arkansas Burger Company on a date.  You will impress no one.  But for a quick, clean, and yummy lunch, its your spot!  Give it a go.  I betcha you walk out satisfied.

On a lighter note, to take the edge off my burger guilt, I cooked up some homemade garden spaghetti sauce with ground turkey meat and whole wheat spaghetti noodles for dinner.

And a little something sweet for dessert - mixed berry and greek yogurt parfaits.  To be honest, my parfaits need some tweaking, so when I get it all figured out I'll give you a good recipe.
