Janssen’s Lakefront Restaurant is special for a couple of reasons.

Address: 9999 Edgemont Road, Edgemont, AR 72044
The menu is a mix of family recipes as well as classic comforts with modern flair.
Google/Tracy Reyes The restaurant opened in the late 70s by Fred Janssen. His son, Tim, took over the business in 2000. The southern comfort foods like chicken fried steak and old fashion hamburgers have been on the menu for 40 years but more refined flavors are available, too. Daily lunch specials like the Pork Osso Bucco to the Grilled Rainbow Trout with a Bourbon Pecan Glaze will keep your taste buds tantalized.
The eye-popping desserts will give you an excuse to sit and chat a while.
Facebook/Janssen’s Restaurant In-house pies with mile-high meringue, toppling 6-layer cakes, and other daily surprises are irresistible even after a filling meal. Try to find room or take a slice for your next Greers Ferry adventure.
Though, you probably won’t want to leave with the gorgeous view.

Burn off a few calories by exploring the gems along the shore.
Google/Michael Hernandez After you’ve tucked in and checked out, take a moment to savor the nature around Greers Ferry Lake. One of the more underrated treasures is this abandoned bridge near the restaurant. The bridge to nowhere will take you to a flora-filled “road” along the lake.
Drive (or boat) to Janssen’s Lakefront Restaurant for a positively peaceful escape on the lake.
