Did you know that we lost 11 restaurants in Texarkana since the pandemic?

Restaurants and going out to eat in Texarkana is a big deal. From the staples of Texarkana dining like the Texas Roadhouse and Namaan's BBQ, we all love to go out to eat. But the pandemic caused some problems for some of the restaurants we love. Some restaurants could not handle the challenges of staying open during the pandemic and are no longer with us.
