Found this little gem shortly after I moved to the area. Great place to stop in if you’re floating down the Arkansas river or if you’re passing through. They usually have a fire lit and some jammy tunes. The food will nourish you after long hikes and the drinks are ON POINT! My favorite is the pain killer. Check this spot out, enjoy the views and all the cute pups. This feels like home:)

We stop at the Drift In every chance we get when we are headed out for camping in the mountains. We first were drawn to this place because it is dog-friendly but it turns out they have really good food and drinks. The beer battered fries are the absolute best. Really great vibe to be able to sit next to the river and enjoy a meal and drink.

Amazing food with a fantastic location to relax by the river! We tried pulled pork sandwiches, brisket sandwich, mini corn dogs, cheese curds, and their chicken egg rolls we’re all amazing!

Great aprés raft. Chill place right on the river. Can sit and soak your feet in the chill river. Or chill your feet in the water. Chill with the chill. *kazoo sound fills the air!* Ahhhhh

Lovely, relaxing, active “drift in” restaurant and chill out area for river rafting stops and tourists next to Arkansas River. We enjoyed the most delicious French fries ever in this place, amazing cheeseburgers and cold beer from the local brewery. It was so good and absolutely beautiful to sit there, watch hummingbirds, super friendly people and great atmosphere. Super dog friendly. They had clean portable toilets at the place. Only point was, we had to wait like 45min until we received the food.. but we enjoyed the waiting time. Please go there!

Awesome, riverside gem! Not only is the location hard to beat, but the staff was extremely friendly. Chicken Sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, and BLT were all great. Look forward to coming back!

I’ve become quite the barfly at the Drift this summer. Good food, great people, and I can let my dog roam and play in the river with other dogs. Camping options, rafting at IW, live music, and karaoke nights. Can’t complain!
