Arkansans know better than to judge a place by its exterior, after all some of our most beloved attractions can be found in rather unsuspecting locations. K. Halls & Sons Produce is an old school grocery store found in the historic district of Little Rock. Driving by, you wouldn’t guess it but this little store has some of the best plate lunches you’ll ever taste. Let’s head to the back of the store and see what’s on the menu.

This little grocery store has a not-so-well-kept secret.

Google Maps The store was originally a gas station before Knoxie Hall Sr. and Estella Marie Crenshaw Hall turned it into a produce store in 1973. K. Hall & Sons Produce is located at 1900 Wright Ave., Little Rock, AR 72202.

Sure, it looks like a normal grocery store when you walk through the door.

K. Hall & Sons Produce is also home to the very best plate lunch you’ll ever taste.

After enough people kept asking about their home-cooked food the Halls began selling burgers, fried chicken, and other southern staples.

On Saturdays you may have to wait in line, but it’s well worth the trouble.
