Eoff’s Food Trailer in Delight has something to celebrate: their Wombat Burger was named the best burger in Arkansas by the Arkansas Beef Council. It’s the kind of honor that makes a small business stand out—and gives families a reason to hit the road for a delicious weekend adventure.
The Wombat Burger isn’t your average cheeseburger. It’s got two ground chuck patties, white and yellow cheeses, grilled onions, sweet banana peppers, crispy bacon, and a signature wombat sauce that ties it all together. The burger stood out among more than 3,200 nominations entered during the council’s month-long contest in April. Five finalists were chosen based on public votes, and the Wombat Burger took the top spot.
If you’re planning a family outing and want to try the winning burger, here’s what to know. Eoff’s Food Trailer is located in Delight, a small town in Pike County—about an hour and a half southeast of Fayetteville. The trailer is often parked at local events and farmers markets, but they don’t have a fixed brick-and-mortar location. It’s best to check their social media or call ahead to confirm hours and location before heading out.
A Weekend Worth the Drive
This is the kind of food adventure that works for families with kids of all ages. Toddlers will be happy with a plain cheeseburger, while older kids (and adults) might want to go for the full Wombat experience. The trailer also serves other handhelds and sides, so there are options if the burger feels too ambitious for your crew.
Pack the car on a Saturday morning and make a day of it. Delight is a quiet town, but it’s close to other small Arkansas communities where you can stretch your legs, grab some pie, or check out a local antique shop. The drive itself rolls through forested hills and open countryside—worth it even if you’re not in the mood for a burger.
There’s no set price for the Wombat Burger yet, but Eoff’s keeps their menu affordable, with most burgers under $10. Cash is preferred, so bring some along. And if your kids are picky, don’t worry—the staff is friendly and used to custom orders.
Why It Matters
Winning a statewide burger contest is a big deal for a small food trailer. It means more customers, more visibility, and more opportunities to grow. For Arkansas families, it’s a reminder that great food doesn’t have to come from a chain restaurant or a big city. Sometimes it’s parked on a quiet street in a town you’ve never heard of, serving up something unforgettable.
Eoff’s success also highlights the importance of supporting local food vendors, especially in rural areas where options can be limited. When you drive a little farther to try something special, you’re helping a family business thrive.
If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon with the family, loading up and heading to Delight for the Wombat Burger might just be the ticket. It’s a short road trip with a tasty payoff—and a reminder that some of the best meals come from the smallest places.
