Our Story

Super delicious and quick service! My first stop here in Arkansas and once I pulled up I could tell I was in for a treat. Great vibe and history behind this restaurant. My hot dog was great I really loved the poppy seed bun and the curly fries were perfect and bountiful.

There has been a lot of debate about Ed Walkers in the last year or so. This was a favorite place to eat in Fort Smith when we came to town, in recent years we've started trying new places each time so it's been a couple of years since we last ate here.

Great food, everything from hamburgers to catfish dinners. Daily specials, delicious desserts and yummy milkshakes. Service is fast and servers friendly. We have been coming here for 18 years and have tried many items on the menu and everything has always been really good.

WOW! Just WOW! The food was so fantastic. Those french dip sandwiches were tasty from the first sight of them to the final bite. This is a place that everyone should visit for a real french dip. The servers were amazingly sweet and the cook even talked to me about the meat.
