Black Angus Cafe (5100 W. Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72205) is a family-run, counter-service steakhouse open since 1960 — it is not connected to the national Black Angus Steakhouse chain. Burgers run roughly $5–$8, sandwiches $5–$9, and steak dinners $15–$27. Open Monday–Saturday, 10:30 a.m.–8 p.m., closed Sunday. No reservations; takeout and DoorDash delivery are both available.
If you searched “Black Angus Little Rock menu” hoping to see what’s on offer before you drive over, you’re in good company — this place runs almost entirely on word of mouth and regulars who’ve been ordering the same thing since high school. Here’s the full breakdown, section by section, plus the context most menu round-ups skip.
Wait — Is This the Same Black Angus Steakhouse Chain?
No, and it’s a fair question. Black Angus Steakhouse, the national chain founded in 1964, has shrunk to roughly 30 locations today, concentrated in California, with smaller pockets in Arizona, New Mexico, Washington, and Hawaii. It has never operated in Arkansas.
The Black Angus in Little Rock is a completely separate, independently owned cafe that’s been serving the same corner of West Markham since 1960 — older than the chain’s current incarnation. Same name, same focus on chargrilled beef, no corporate relationship whatsoever.
So if you typed “black angus menu little rock ar” expecting the chain’s steakhouse menu, this is the local cafe instead — and most longtime Little Rock residents would tell you that’s the better outcome anyway.

Exact pricing isn’t published for every item here, but expect them to land near the chicken fried steak dinner above — worth a quick call if one of these is the deciding factor on where you eat tonight.
Soups, Salads & Sides
Sides: French fries, onion rings, baked potato, the loaded “Super Spud” (butter, sour cream, chives, bacon, cheese or chili), sautéed onions or mushrooms, mashed potatoes, BBQ beans, green beans, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, and fried okra (around $3).
Daily Specials
Kids Menu & Dessert
For 12 and under: corn dog, hamburger, or chicken tenders, each with fries and a drink, generally under $6.
To finish: homemade cobblers (apple, peach, cherry), homemade cheesecake (plain or with cherries), cake, and bread pudding, mostly $4–$6. Drinks include the standard fountain lineup, sweet or unsweet tea, milkshakes and malts (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry), and coffee.
How It Compares to Other Little Rock Steakhouses
If you’re cross-shopping against Little Rock’s more upscale steak spots — Sullivan’s Steakhouse, Arthur’s Prime Steakhouse, Doe’s Eat Place — Black Angus Cafe isn’t trying to compete on the same terms. There’s no white tablecloth, no wine list, no server checking in on you.
What it offers instead is a chargrilled steak dinner for roughly a third of the price, in the same building it’s occupied since 1960. It’s a neighborhood institution, not a special-occasion destination, and the prices reflect that on purpose.
What People Actually Order
Ask a regular, and the same handful of names come up repeatedly: the cheeseburger combo, the ribeye dinner, the chicken-fried steak, and the Friday catfish plate. The Chicken Monterey sandwich gets singled out often enough in customer reviews on Yelp and Tripadvisor that it’s worth flagging on its own.
Catering and Group Orders
Black Angus Cafe caters both large and small groups, drawing from the full regular menu plus a few items not on the standard lineup. There’s no online catering form — call the restaurant directly to set up an order.

A Note on How This Guide Was Put Together
Black Angus Cafe doesn’t publish prices on its own website, so the figures above come from the restaurant’s official menu listing (for item names and descriptions), cross-referenced with current DoorDash and third-party menu-aggregator listings (for pricing), plus recurring mentions in customer reviews on Yelp, Tripadvisor, and Restaurantji (for what people actually order).
Delivery-platform prices typically run a little higher than what you’d pay at the counter, since those platforms add their own markup — treat the numbers here as a close estimate, not an exact receipt total.
