The Best Restaurants in Little Rock
"Little Rock loves its burgers almost as much as its cheese dip, and it’s hard to choose between outstanding burgers. Best-of lists often include The Root Café, Big Orange, downtown dive EJ’s Eats and Sweets, food truck Excaliburger and Arkansas chain David’s Burgers (davidsburger.com). But when it comes to a great classic with magnificent flavor and height, The Rock at Arkansas Burger Company is tough to beat."
"Placed not far away from the city center, Long John Silver's is a really good Seafood Restaurant. Long John Silver's is very popular place in this area. Phone number: (501) 653-0555."
"The Little Rock High School was the site of a historic forced desegregation in 1957, paving the way for equal opportunities for all during the Civil Rights Movement. The historic school first opened in 1927 and in those days it only accepted white scholars. When the Little Rock Nine tried to enroll in the school in 1957 such violence erupted that the army and air force were called in to assist."
