Ed Walker's Drive-In & Restaurant

There has been a lot of debate about Ed Walkers in the last year or so. This was a favorite place to eat in Fort Smith when we came to town, in recent years we've started trying new places each time so it's been a couple of years since we last ate here. We decided to try it out again to see for ourselves if rumors of slipping quality and service were true or not. I'm happy to report the food was cooked just right, the burger patties we done through but still juicy. Mom had the half pound cheeseburger, I got the Bahama momma. We also split an order of half jalapeño buttons and half fried pickle chips. The young ladies serving were all sweet and polite as a proper Southerner would expect. Prices have gone up but for the quality and quantity of food it's

Super delicious and quick service! My first stop here in Arkansas and once I pulled up I could tell I was in for a treat. Great vibe and history behind this restaurant. My hot dog was great I really loved the poppy seed bun and the curly fries were perfect and bountiful. Would visit here everyday if I lived here.

It's like walking back in time when you enter Ed Walker's! A nostalgic atmosphere with its diner booths and vintage decor. The service was fast and friendly. The food was fine (made to order and hot) though the World Famous French Dip was dry and bland. The fish and chips entree was also just okay. The 2 pieces of fish were small and thin and with drink was more than $16 for the one meal. We both left most of our meal on the plates. The curly fries were hot and fresh and we were served a large amount. The desserts looked delicious and the french silk pie did not disappoint. All in all, for $50 (including tip) for two people, I would probably dine elsewhere or definitely try something different from the menu. All of the servers were friendly and attentive and we will certainly dine here aga

A great lunch experience with my wife and son. I had a pastrami on rye with crunchy onion rings, my wife enjoyed a BLT and my son a big cheeseburger with fries. Everything was hot and fresh and tasted great! Service was excellent; atmosphere fun and nostalgic and noise level just loud enough to not interfere with normal conversation.

A Fort Smith institution! Great service and good food. The French dip is my go to order. You have to try the curly fries. They are awesome! The homemade desserts are also really good.
