Who knew that Batesville looks like the beaches of Florida? Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get our point.

At the Best Dam Steakhouse, located right on the White River, the view is wonderful. This steakhouse has been here for ages, but it changed owners and its name in January, and we like what we saw.

The food was great. One of us had the half salad with all the things inside and Ranch dressing. And the male companion had the burger with the pulled pork, andouille sausage and bacon. And all God’s people said, “amen.”

Batesville is a darling town of around 11,000 in north central Arkansas in Independence County. Check it out on a day trip in the Natural State and check out the Best Dam Steakhouse.  Have a cocktail and enjoy the view.
