Golden Girls

Stepping into Golden Girls feels like settling into a welcoming corner of South Arkansas, where the warmth is as inviting as the unmistakable aroma of freshly fried catfish and seasoned chicken. This is a place where the rhythm is unhurried and familiar—perfect for sharing a quiet meal after a day out or grabbing a comforting bite on the go. The modest building at 1105 E Church St holds a rhythm all its own, balancing down-to-earth hospitality with the sincere pleasure of well-cooked, thoughtfully prepared food.

The atmosphere here isn’t flashy or overdone. Instead, it’s full of those subtle details that draw neighbors and travelers alike—friendly waves from the counter crew, the hum of focused kitchen work, the clink of plates settling on tables filled with simple, satisfying plates. Whether you’re dining in or picking up at the drive-through, the pace matches the feeling of something made right: fresh, steady, and approachable.

At Golden Girls, you sense the care in each order as it’s made fresh to request—crispy chicken strips, golden hot wings, or generous catfish fillets breaded and fried to a perfect crunch. It’s the kind of place where a fish dinner isn’t just food but a rhythm of the local palate, paired effortlessly with sides like baked beans that carry quiet, homey flavors. Sandwiches, too, find their place here—not rushed bites but substantial, layered with crisp vegetables, tender grilled chicken, or smoky barbecue, reflecting the simplicity and heart of the menu.

The genuine, grounded quality of Golden Girls is a draw that goes beyond just satisfying hunger. It’s about a moment: revisiting a familiar comfort, sharing with family, and appreciating a place where the service feels personal and sincere. In a region where food carries stories and history, this little spot embodies the joy of returning to something reliably good—fresh, hearty, and quietly memorable.
