Texarkana has a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, but which ones have stood the test of time?
We’ve had some great restaurants nearby over the years and I wanted to find the ones that have made it through thick and thin, the restaurants that have been through it all here. Here’s a list of 5 restaurants in Texarkana that really stand the test of time.

Waynes Family Restaurant began as Rawleigh Burger Restaurant 56 years ago. When Rawleigh Burger closed all of its Texarkana restaurants, Wayne Walker, who ran that Texarkana location, took over and it greeted diners with some of the best burgers and the fish, oh the great fish.

TLC Burger
I have to give credit to TLC Burgers and Fires. TLC has been around for over 38 years and their fresh burgers and fries with that Red River Sand have been a Saturday tradition for my family for many years. TLC is currently rebuilding after a fire and I personally look forward to the restaurant reopening soon.
