Hungry travelers can now order up a taste of Fayetteville when making their way through the Northwest Arkansas National Airport.
Fayetteville-based restaurant chain Slim Chickens on Monday opened a new restaurant inside the airport.
The new shop is located in the concourse across from the security area, and is open daily from 10 a.m. until around 9 p.m., according to the company’s website.
