Popular patio dining restaurants in Northwest Arkansas

Revised for June 2021: Mamas, we know many of you are still taking extra precautions because many of you have kids under the age of 12 and you don’t want them to be exposed to Covid-19. So we are re-publishing this list that we put together last year when we were really missing the opportunity to go out to eat. It’s a list of Northwest Arkansas restaurants that offer outdoor dining.

You may have heard various experts on the news say that the risk of contracting Covid-19 is only about 1 percent when you are outside. So if you’re dining out with unvaccinated kids under 12, these options might be good to consider.

We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite restaurants in Northwest Arkansas which have patios and/or outdoor dining areas. We’re grouping the restaurants by city, for your convenience.

If we’ve missed any restaurants that you know have outdoor dining available, please let us know by posting a comment or by emailing us at gwen@nwaMotherlode.com.
