Cotham's restaurants have a long and distinguished history in Arkansas. The present store, Cotham's Mercantile, was built in 1917. It has served as a general mercantile store in the Scott area for area farmers and plantation owners since it's beginning. It has also served as
a military commissary and lockup for local law violators awaiting trial by a circuit-riding judge. In 1984, a small eating area was opened to serve lunch to area farmers. Soon discovered by prominent politicians, notably Bill Clinton and David Pryor, the restaurant suddenly became the place to eat and greet for distinguished Arkansans from all walks of life. A new location opened in October of 1999 on the corner of 3rd and Victory and in 2003 a West Little Rock location opened on Cantrell Road. Cotham's has now become an institution
 in Arkansas, whose reputation for outstanding food has gained national recognition. Our trademark hubcap hamburgers and onion rings have won many Arkansas Times Readers Awards as the best in the state. So when you come here, bring your memories and your appetite. We promise to do our best to make your visit a memorable one.
