Wood-fired cooking on the banks of the Arkansas.

Craft

Few restaurants cook like this.

Most places grill with gas or electric heat. Our pecan wood-fired grill burns at over 1,000°F, giving steaks, seafood, and chops a signature smoky crust and rich depth of flavor. Taste the difference only true open-flame cooking can create.

Over live coals

Elk strip, bone-in Duroc pork chop, Angus ribeye, and mahi mahi, all finished over pecan.

Smoked in-house

Baby back ribs, pulled pork, and a pound of wings, smoked here, sauced with Hogback hickory BBQ.

Made from scratch

Every sauce and dressing, daily, free of seed oils. Chimichurri, black-garlic demi-glace, peach salsa, cherry aioli.

Authentic

Named for the river.

An eddyline is the seam where fast water meets calm, the place a paddler pulls out to catch a breath. Eddyline has been that place for Buena Vista since 2009, first as a brewery, now as a wood-fired kitchen on South Main.

What is on the plate comes from close by. Scottish Highland grass-fed beef raised in Nathrop. Deerhammer bourbon distilled a few blocks from your table. Palisade pears in the cider. Pappardelle’s pasta. Eddyline root beer and sparkling mineral water made by us.

Passion

“We started as a family of brewers. Everything here, the beer, the sauces, the root beer, even the ketchup, is made by people who chose this town on purpose.”

Brian England, part of the brand since 2000, and Melissa Ridlon, since 2014, became 50/50 owners in 2018. They are in the building most days.

What is the difference between the Restaurant and the Brewery & Pub?
