If you haven't yet visited Lucy's Diner, you're one of a scant few. It's been hopping ever since opening the doors this January despite plenty of snow and ice.
We are fortunate to live a hop, skip and a jump away and have walked there several times, and it is always happily bursting at the seams no matter the time of day. I've enjoyed seeing a healthy dose of our local law enforcement and fire fighters there on a regular basis as well - seems appropriate.
The shiny stainless steel and checkerboard floor are spot on, along with the diner-esque tunes and swarms of friendly, genuinely warm wait staff. While I confess I've had an order or two go wrong, they swooped in immediately to make it right, which is what really matters. The pancakes are true flapjack style and they are fantastic, and the coffee is piping hot and flows rapidly.
Lucy's (511 West Walnut in the former Hi-D-Ho location) is open 24 hours a day, and breakfast is served anytime. Its predecessor in Fort Smith has been open about a year and a half. You might have caught a recent article in the paper about the opening of the local Lucy's Diner, as well as a review. You'll certainly want to swing by yourself as soon as you get a chance. It's destined to be a staple in the downtown scene. Word on the street is that it will be a welcome option for performers and patrons of evening performances at the Rogers Little Theater.
And, happily, all the regulars are still flocking to Wesner's Grill and Iron Horse Coffee Company, hopefully proving that there's plenty of room in the downtown landscape for variety. Keep 'em coming - we love the options and will support you all!

The Icing on the Cake
Hurry! If you haven't been to Kirby's Kupcakes, get to it!
Kirby and Lisa have a fun concept that's sure to find its niche and flourish in downtown Rogers. Their cupcakes ($2.50 for a generously frosted, diet-defying treat) are outstanding. They'll let you grab one from the display case if you like your frosting a little crunchy, or they'll swoop into the back with your chosen cupcake and frost it with a flourish if soft and creamy frosting is your thing. I love this little nod to individual taste - it shows the thoughtfulness they put into all that they do.
I recently descended upon both ladies near closing time on a slow day with a gaggle of girls pre-sleepover, and Kirby and Lisa set up a little "frost and decorate your own" station for them. The girls, as seven year olds are prone to do with frosting, had a blast. Kirby's will be the perfect spot for a unique birthday party, and they have some creative tricks up their sleeves.
They are also serving some unique, homemade lunch treats - check out their menu at www.kirbyskupcakes.com or swing by during the work day for something a little different. Their fun pink boxes make picking up a dozen mini or regular cupcakes to deliver to a friend or bring to work an especially fun treat.
It's up to all of us to support our downtown businesses and help them thrive - that's what makes downtown Rogers all that we hope it can be! Swing by to say hello to Kirby and Lisa at the corner of 2nd Street near the Rogers Little Theater, Chicago Dog, the Daisy Airgun Museum and M.D. Bishop & Sons Candy in historic downtown Rogers.
And, be sure to connect with Kirby's Kupcakes on Facebook and Twitter! Plus, dollar cupcake day when they reach 300 Facebook likes - send them some love!
