All of our travels around the state, in order to source new products for Pea Farm Market, have resulted in the discovery of many of the most amazing places Arkansas has to offer!
This one is not necessarily new to us, as we have passed through the area a few times before, but we don't get to go as often as we'd like, and we'd LOVE to tell you all about it:
It's the very popular and famous Skylark Cafe in Leslie, and it should 100% be your next stop when you are touring the Natural State!
This lovely little spot, built into a 1915 Craftsman style home, is known for fresh food, with many locally sourced ingredients, and some unique takes on your favorite classics.
On this visit, we had the Brisket Tacos, which is honestly the absolute best version of this dish I have ever had. No exaggeration.
We also had the Torta Ahogada, a phenomenonal pulled pork sandwich with a salsa de arbol for dipping that is smokey, bold and absolutely filling in all the best ways!
Among our other samplings were a very nice side salad, the delectable Green Chili Pork Nachos, and the House Hummus, all worthy of your hard earned dollars, and definite must-tries.
Not to gloss over the friendly and prompt service, or the homey and inviting atmosphere ( the enormous elephant ears literally draw you in), the desserts deserve there due honors the most!
Lord, help all those restaurants that run to Walmart to try and pass off those pie as their own, they all crumble at the feet of the mighty Skylark!
The Strawberry pie, which is very much seasonal (meaning you probably won't get one again until next year) was pure perfection.
We also tried the Raspberry Cake, which I usually stay away from restaurant cakes because they often have icing too sweet for my tastes, but this one did not disappoint. It ACTUALLY tasted like raspberries.
Do you know how rare that is?
There's almost too much to talk about in one post, so I highly recommend you checking them out for yourself!
Come early, be patient (they get BUSY) and just be pleasantly surprised at how many in house dessert options are available.
You should probably prepare to take some back home with you too!
