33 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants near Van Buren

“Always looking for a good burger and there are a lot of places in the area to choose from. We finally made it here to The Burger Forge and the only problem I had with it is that I have wasted too much time not coming here before. Fantastic burgers. My wife got the Classic burger and fries and I got the Dragon Breath burger and had Onion Rings. The burgers were messy perfection, everything you want from a burger joint. The Dragons Breath burger was fire! Hot enough to take notice but not so much you don’t taste the rest of your food. The buns were soft and loaded with all the goodies. The burgers were a classic smash burger and very tasty. The fries were fresh cut and there were a lot of them you don’t go away hungry. The onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. What I said as we were leaving is that the food tasted like they cared about making good food and that’s what they did. Don’t loose that passion, we will definitely be back.“

“Can't beat the Friday special of $3 off a large entrée which includes a free kid's meal. I had to try it. I ordered the Crawfish étouffée and the Blackened Shrimp Royale- and both were purely delicious. The big portions and packed flavor make this place 100% worth it for a Friday night family dinner. Now, I've got to try some pasta next time. Y'all about to have me gain 10# 🤪 🤤😋👌🦐🍤🍲“

“I had a huge Facebook post looking for the biggest best chicken fried steak in the area, everyone recommended the vault. they have a huge one for a great price. Dairy dips is much smaller, but it taste excellent compared. I'd recommend the chicken fried steak dinner to anyone over the vaults. maybe next time I'll ask for a double order of the chicken fried steak 😂“

“My boyfriend and I had date night tonight at Texas Roadhouse and we had a great experience! The food was good and for a busy Saturday night it came out quick. I do want to give a special shoutout to the manager, Brittany. She was so kind and gave us our appetizer for free because it never came out to us by the time our food came!! :) 10/10 recommend.“

“The Homewrecker and Pink Cadillac are my personal favorites. The staff is amazing and the food is even better! The dry rub smoked wings are to-die for and their ribs are hands down the best in the River Valley! I have also used their catering for big family gatherings and the pulled pork was a hit with my family! Fun atmosphere with live music in the Beer Garden! 🎶“

“Incredible taste, perfect for a morning or afternoon boost!“

“JKC Cellers is an absolute GEM for Fort Smith. Wine, made right here in Fort Smith, in historic Fort Chaffee. You just can go wrong. Family owned and family run, everyone is friendly and truly committed to you having a terrific experience.They don’t have food but encourage you to bring food in or have waiter deliver it.The have a fantastic selection of wines from a Pinot Grigio to a Raspberry Merlot, they’ve got something for everyone.Do yourself a favor and head down there on Friday or Saturday night. I promise you won’t be disappointed.“

“My wife and daughter had been here before. She made sure I had a chance to experience the best snow cones in the River Valley. I had the Mardi Gra!! It was a lot more than I expected, and it tasted amazing!! Great place to visit anytime, especially on a hot southern summer day!!“

“I met a friend here while I was in town. The food was good, fresh, hot and the atmosphere was calm and inviting. Service was great. When I went it was after lunch and before dinner. At that time it wasn't crowded due to being on a Friday and before dinner. I most definitely will go back next time I'm in town.“

“Our new favorite ice cream spot! Everything that's been ordered here has turned out amazing. Each time I go I'm trying something new. Seasonal mixes are a fun touch too. The service has been quick and friendly each time. They're efficient and work hard, thank you!“

“I Love Mighty Crab great happy hour and great food“

“I ordered the shrimp over a seasoned rice it came with a side salad and loaded baked potato. The shrimp had an excellent flavor from the grill. Everything was very well prepared and tasty. The plate comes in 8 piece or 12 piece very large shrimp.“

“Best snow cones we’ve had in the area. We ordered a stuffed snow cone (scoop of ice cream inside) & a snow cone that comes with a jello filled syringe (I think it’s called “the cure”). In our opinion, this location is much better than the store location (on Old Greenwood Road, I think). The employees at this location were super friendly, efficient, & did a fantastic job.“

“It’s ok but expensive. It will be nice if they had thicker burgers“

“I came in yesterday, a bit before noon. The lady behind the counter had on some cute cat ears and a tail for her costume, I always love when people get to be festive at work! Doesn't matter which holiday. -She was still making my pickup order and I gave it a glance, it looked great. After she handed it to me, I went out to my car, opened it up, gave it a good look.. I have got to say.. She put care into that sandwich. It looked **perfect**, just the right amount of everything.-- There have been several other Subway locations that make that exact sandwich and it usually looks awful but tastes great... I was just so impressed. I ended up eating half of it before leaving the parking lot because I was so happy about it! It was great! Thank you so much. She is awesome!“

“The half off deal that was advertised December 5th 2025 is a bit misleading. The commercial said half off all pizza however it's half off ONLY if ordered on the app and ONLY certain pizzas. Why does the commercial not give a bit more detail? Just asking!“

“Love this place! Great food! Great service! Great atmosphere. If only our government could run as efficiently as CHICK-FIL-A!!!!

Update: Still 5-star!! I'd give higher if I could! I wish more businesses could take notes!“

“Forgot my avocados but I’m already at work… good but could’ve been better 😅“

“Good food and fast service“
