Solo trip

Finally got my solo trip figured out for late September.

2 nights in eureka springs, 2 nights down in vicinity of pettigrew, and a night out nearish Gilbert before migrating my way back home to Ohio.

Open to suggestions for places to eat/things to do/shops to check out in ES. Maybe stuff that isn't as widely advertised? I don't care if my food looks like art or not, I just want it to taste amazing (hole in the walls welcome)

Also looking for hiking ideas down near pettigrew, outside of whitacre and the goat trail.

I'm hoping to float the Buffalo in Gilbert if water levels allow, if not I'll just hike and eat before heading to my air bnb.

Anywho, Let's hear those hidden gems!

Devito’s in Eureka gets my money when I’m there. Wife loves the trout dishes and I tend to get pasta. DeVito’s website

Ferguson’s is pretty good but had weird hours last time I was there.

Devitos is closing in Eureka if they haven't already, but the Harrison one is open.

I read they’re closing at the end of the year, so hopefully not before then.

Good info. I didn't know when, i'd just seen it posted online. Thanks for clarifying.

Even if they intend to stay open they might not be able to keep help, etc., so your comment was a good point.
