In the Grand Prairie about a half hour southeast of Little Rock, Cotham's Mercantile is perched on stilts above a slow-flowing river. Built in 1917, it has been a general store, a jail, and a military commissary. Contemporary Arkansans know it as a plate-lunch destination

This old country store has tables set up in the middle of the room. The featured delicacies include Hubcap Hamburgers (the size of a dinner plate) and onion rings the size of saucers and heaped high on the plate. Definitely worth a trip to see and eat at this down-home style place. For those intimidated by the sound of a plate-sized burger, there is a smaller version. Cotham's is known as one of President Clinton's favorite haunts when he's in town.
