I

Old-fashioned soda fountains dot the Arkansas map from Jasper to McGehee. Many of them offer a full array of delicious menu items like shakes, sundaes, malts, sandwiches, salads, burgers, homemade pies and cakes. So slow down, step back in time, and enjoy a big, gooey, hot fudge-dripping ice cream sundae at one of these Arkansas establishments.
