Fort Smith Dining

Because it was the gateway to the west, people of virtually all world cultures traveled to Fort Smith in its earlier days. Fortunately, some of them would find the opportunities they were seeking right here in Fort Smith! Then, major conflicts like the Vietnam War would bring hundreds of refugees into the city and diversify its cultural heritage even more. Over the course of 200 years, that has become very noticeable through the unparalleled diversity of Fort Smith's culinary landscape. From Southern-styled fried chicken and catfish, championship BBQ, collard greens, and Cajun specialties to more exotic cuisines of Mexico, Peru, El Salvador, Greece, Italy, China, Japan, and many others, Fort Smith is the perfect destination for any group of foodies.
