We're back with Fort Smith Unfiltered 🎙️ Real locals, real answers — no filters, no fluff.
Meet Hunter, aka Prince Hamlet—a downtown soul, a drag performer, and one of Fort Smith's most colorful personalities. Hunter knows every hidden gem this city has to offer and isn't afraid to tell you exactly where to find them.
✨ Here's the scoop:
🍜 Favorite local food? The #76 Banh Mi at Pho Vietnam — char-grilled pork, treated like a French dip, with house soy sauce. Best service, best food in town.
🍺 Favorite drink? Everett James Tea for something non-alcoholic — a true family-run tea shop with incredible blends. For something stronger, PBR, Michelob Ultra, or a Black Apple Hibiscus Cider (if they're fancy) over at Old Town
🎱 Favorite thing to do in Fort Smith? A $3 beer, karaoke, and pool with friends downtown. Plus a walk along the riverfront by the Marshals Museum — beautiful trees, a clear view of the river, and the perfect picnic spot.
🏳️🌈 Most underrated thing about Fort Smith? The q***r community. Rich, vibrant, and more present than most people realize — in businesses, neighborhoods, and everywhere in between.
