The Bulldog Cafe is cheap and good, but will probably be crowded as well.

All motels and eating places are on the main street through town 367/167.. There are a couple of motels in town that are clean and well maintained.. For food there is Subway & Pizza at the Exxon truck stop and a Sonic plus the Phillips 66 serves a lunch buffet these are on 167 N of the freeway.. On 367 south of the freeway there is McDonalds, The Bulldog Drive-In, Who Dats (which does serve a lunch buffet for around $10), El Palenque, Pizza Depot (drive thru) and Market Café (really good plate dinners for around $7).. There will also be excellent food served at the gym.. Also Searcy is only 10 miles down the freeway and has tons of motels and all kinds of eating places.. Also don't panic about parking at the school, they will have attendees and shuttles so you won't have to walk very far..

All good info.  Thanks!

I keep the highlighted portion to emphasize.  Concession workers are so appreciated and the money made there is pretty much the only financial benefit to hosting for the school.

The Bulldog has the best shakes in the state of Arkansas.

Who Dats is by far one of the best I ever ate, use to stop there every year when going to Batesville

Also wanted to remind those traveling from Conway to Beebe on Hwy 64 that there is construction going on and delays can be expected.. Last week I had to wait almost 30 minutes at one spot.. Just give yourself some extra time if your coming from that direction..

Like some others have said, the Bull Dog is real good fast food with famous milk shakes.  Who Dat's is great authentic Cajun, but is expensive and open only on Thurs Fri and Sat eves, I think.  Ten minutes away, coming back to Searcy, take the first Searcy exit and there is a little bit of everything within a mile - Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Coltons, Rib Crib, Chick Fila, and a place called the Hubulai Grill which is great and most people here cant seem to get enough of it.  And all the classics are close, Wendy's, Sonic, McD's (which is also in Bald Knob)  B.K. and Taco heck, I mean Bell.  Plenty of choices not far from the Tournament.  Anyway, havent been on here in a while but know the area and wanted to offer this up.  And I'm kind of hungry right now and thinking of some of these places.  Skip.

Anyone know what if the Lamar/Drew Central game will be on the radio? Or streaming somewhere?

[CoolBreeze]

I haven't been there in a couple of years, but BK concession stand used to serve great chicken strips. Generous sized, too.

Also, if you leave the gym, it's only ten minutes or so to Searcy. Chick-Fil-A, Mickey D's, Burger King, etc., are handy to the Race St. exit.
