Whether you’re looking for savory street tacos or world class barbecue, The Grove at Engles Mill has you covered. 

Damons BBQ and Biergarten

A local favorite, Damons BBQ is a must try for anybody living in the NWA region. Previously a food truck, Damon’s has since moved into a brick and mortar location reminiscent of a traditional German beer hall. Whether you sit in the Beer Garden out back or inside the Hall itself, the lively atmosphere and friendly service alone is worth a trip. Featuring a menu stretching from German sausages and pretzels to Californian style Santa Cruz barbecue, Damons BBQ covers all sorts of different tastes and preferences to ensure you and your party go home satisfied. Food and service are not the only aspects of the restaurant that draw customers back, but the unique events held on site as well. Comedy shows, holiday deals, and seasonal celebrations all contribute to making this Biergarten truly spectacular. 

Briar Rose

Looking for something a little lighter? The Farmington area has got you covered there too! Stop by Briar Rose’s cottage themed deli and bakery for a fresh-made lunch or breakfast. Specializing in deli soups and sandwiches, wood-fired pizzas, and fresh made pastries and cinnamon rolls, Farmington residents come for the sweets and stay for the sammies. The freshly baked cinnamon rolls have been a “must-have” in the area since opening its doors in 2017, and have made the bakery an experience for locals and visitors alike. Briar Rose is great for a work-day meal or a fun experience with the family in this cozy medieval eatery. In addition to providing a unique dine-in experience, Briar Rose also creates custom orders for catering and special events, such as weddings and birthdays. Gluten-free Thursdays and keto Fridays have a hand in setting this establishment apart as well by striving to serve customers with specific dietary preferences or restrictions.

Beau's Bayou Smokehouse 

If you’re a fan of cajun style barbecue, this is the food-truck for you. It’s common knowledge that Northwest Arkansas has some amazing barbecue, but Beau’s old school methods are a step above the rest. Dedicated to perfecting their craft through traditional methods, all the food at Beau’s is cooked and smoked from the burning of hickory or white oak wood rather than gas assist, highlighting the natural flavor of their ingredients with a nice, smoky finish. But it’s not just the meat that sets this smokehouse apart. With an assortment of classic BBQ sides and amazing cheesecake desserts, Beau’s is a tried-and-true culinary experience from start to finish. The owners of this fan favorite also pride themselves on the personable customer service offered to each of their visitors, as well as their yearly southern style crawfish boil. Keep an eye out for announcements, because this isn’t an event you want to miss!
