The Buffalo National River is filled with exceptional Arkansas adventures, from the obvious paddle trips to the lesser known trails. No matter how you prefer to enjoy this area, there’s one particular place that is definitely worth the detour. Ferguson’s Country Store and Restaurant is a spectacular two-story stone cabin filled with Ozark craftsmanship and pioneer-inspired meals. Perhaps the best thing about Ferguson’s is their homemade dessert. Give yourself plenty of time to explore and eat at this historic store.

The best part of dining at Ferguson’s is, without a doubt, the desserts.
Facebook/Ozark Mountain Region Folks will travel miles to pick up a pan full of Ferguson’s famed cinnamon rolls. The hot-from-the-oven sweets are drizzled with a simple sugar-based icing that will have you reaching for a tall glass of milk quicker than you can call “Pig Sooie.”
The cinnamon rolls have a dedicated fan base, but that doesn’t mean they’re the only dessert worth trying at Ferguson’s.
Google/Karin Poppe Indulge in a brownie and cookie dough mash-up or one of the freshly made cakes. Be warned though, the fruit cobblers are downright addictive.
Whether you’re wanting to satisfy a sweet tooth or need a new dining room set, Ferguson’s is the place to go.
