We've got a new favorite restaurant!
We dined tonight at the new Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill in Paragould. It opened Monday night and the place was packed because people around here are dying for a good dining experience. (This is the place where I photographed the branding of the bar last week.)
We had to search the parking lot for a space, finally waiting for a van to back out.
There was about a 40-minute wait to be served, but it was a pleasant atmosphere and we didn't mind waiting.
We had steaks - the best we've had in months and months. And I had a couple of Amber Bocks.
The service was superb. Our server was a young woman from Hemet, Calif., by way of San Diego. She'd come out to visit her mother who retired to Arkansas and was stunned to see how much house and land she could buy for what, by California standards, was next to nothing. So she and her boyfriend have two acres and 10 dogs and love it here.
We split a piece of Turtle cheesecake that was staggeringly good and got out of there for $44.48, plus a $10 tip. That's not something we want to do every night, but it was such a refreshingly good dining experience after suffering through so many bad restaurant meals in Jonesboro that we were almost giddy.
And the great thing is that Whiskey Creek is actually a little closer to our house than are the restaurants of Jonesboro.
This is where we will take out-of-town guests!
