On our way to the Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources, we stopped for lunch at Woods Place in Camden, Arkansas. Woods Place is a local restaurant that is known for making everything homemade and fresh.
The inside of their restaurant was nice. The decor around our table seemed to be Grapette Soda-themed, but I don’t know about the rest of the restaurant. We got there around 11:15 am so they were not busy but there was definitely a steady stream of people through the door.
As soon as we sat down, they brought out a basket of hushpuppies and bread. This photo is after we’d all had a piece of bread. The bread wasn’t as delicious as my mom’s monkey bread, but it wasn’t half-bad if you put enough butter on it.
I ordered a half-order of the catfish filets because Woods Place is known for their catfish and I wasn’t disappointed. For my sides, I got fries and coleslaw. I’m not much of a french fry person, but I really liked the coleslaw.
Granddaddy got one of the daily specials – the chicken fried steak with okra and broccoli & cheese. His plate looked really good. The kids both got cheeseburgers and Grandmother got fried chicken livers. The cheeseburgers looked big and juicy.
