Local Flavor is a Eureka Springs institution, a lively restaurant in the downtown historic district with a broad menu that draws on everything from Southern comfort food to lighter contemporary dishes. The outdoor patio is one of the most pleasant places to eat in town — partly shaded, overlooking the winding street below — and it fills up fast on summer evenings. The kitchen handles both meat and vegetarian dishes competently, which matters in a town with a diverse dining public.
The lunch menu is particularly good value: sandwiches, salads, and daily specials using whatever is fresh. Weekend brunches draw a local crowd alongside visitors.
