It’s not often Paragould gets a new restaurant, especially one that’s not a chain, so I was excited to hear about Smitty’s Build-a-Burger opening in town even if I don’t eat meat. I visited there with family the other day, and lucky for me they have grilled cheese sandwiches! I was so excited since I expected to only be able to eat french fries. Smitty’s has a cute theme and easy to understand menu. The topping bar is free so you can fix up your burger however you want. It only took a few minutes to get our food and the service was quick and friendly. While it’s definitely pricier than a fast food restaurant, you can tell that Smitty’s uses good meat and the quality of the food is better. The prices are in the $5-$8 range for a burger combo with fries and a drink. We all enjoyed Smitty’s and definitely plan to return. My only suggestion — maybe expand and include a house made black bean burger someday? Paragould has more people that would appreciate a veggie option than you probably know! Smitty’s is a great and much needed addition to the Paragould restaurant scene!

Check out this loaded burger! And crinkly fries!

My delicious grilled cheese!

Loaded topping bar! It was completely clean and full even at lunchtime.
