I f you've got a craving for BBQ , there's just one place to go. Penguin Ed's has been THE iconic BBQ favorite in Northwest Arkansas for more than 25 years. And they are still smokin' and turning out mouthwatering meals. The restaurant started out smoking barbecue from a trailer at the crossroads of Crossover and Mission Boulevard in Fayetteville. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, with barely enough room for two people to stand side-by-side, Penguin Ed's has come a long way from its humble roadside beginnings. The more-than-just- barbecue business has grown to include two restaurants in Fayetteville, now open with curbside, pick up or dine-in…indoors or on the new patio at the historic B&B location. Penguin Ed's perfectly-smoked, tender, juicy barbecue and signature sauces have been winning awards and loyal customers since the beginning. Any of their scrumptious BBQ dinner plates make a great lunch or dinner choice. They include Texas toast, sides, smoked meat and their famous BBQ sauce. Enjoy their famous homemade burgers, made with fresh beef patties seasoned and formed in-house daily. Or—back by popular demand—their black bean and veggie burgers. And they also make great hot wings, fresh salads — and of course, mouthwatering cookies. Specials Make sure to check out the website for scrumptious new daily specials at both locations. Plus, they've brought back Penguin Ed's Prime Rib Saturday nights from 5 p.m. on, at the Mission location, king and queen cut. And start your Sunday at the Mission location by indulging in their Quiche Special. Choose from two mouthwatering homemade quiches: bacon, onion and cheddar or Florentine, available Sundays only, while supplies last. And to top it all off, indulge in their mouth-watering banana and chocolate cream pies, also available at the Mission location, in addition to their cookies! For those who don't know, owner Ed Knight's daughter, Audrey, began making cookies with her grandmother's family recipe to sell in the restaurant way back when, and it wasn't long before the barbecue crowd fell in love. Penguin Ed's had another hit on their hands.
