One place you should plan to eat when in Russellville, Arkansas at Lake Dardanelle: CJ’s Butcher Boy Burgers. Located at Exit 81 on I-40, 2803 N. Arkansas Ave. You know it’s good when you get to see all the fresh ground chuck in a meat counter display before they toss it on the grill. Very clean inside. Decorated with a 1950s theme and music playing overhead. Fresh cut fries too.
