Starving Artist Cafe North Little Rock Restaurant Review

The Starving Artist Cafe in the Argenta area on North Little Rock’s Main Street is a unique local restaurant.

The attraction of this restaurant above the food is the original paintings and artwork that adorn the walls. The Starving Artist Cafe allows local artists to display their work on a consignment basis and it makes for a great atmosphere and visual experience while dining. All of the artwork is for sale, and at times artists will be working on art in the restaurant. As you can imagine this gives the restaurant a very nice atmosphere and a good visual appearance.

Now on to the food. The menu isn’t the largest, but there are daily specials to supplement the listed menu items and many of the ingredients are sourced locally. At lunch, try one of their tasty paninis and add a cup of soup for a total of $8. Also available are several salads and whatever the specials are that day. For dinner, the menu entrees expand and include steak, chicken, fish, and shrimp meals as well as the mentioned daily specials. Appetizers and desserts are also available with a varied selection.

To sum it up, the Starving Artist Cafe is a nice place to eat and take in the assortment of artwork from local artists. The food is good with good service in a very appealing setting. Enjoy lunch or dinner here, or just come in to look around if that strikes your fancy. We saw a few people just come in and browse the art last time. Put this restaurant on your to visit list if you haven’t been there yet.
