FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Block Avenue favorite claimed the crown for Arkansas in Only in Your State’s “50 Best Burgers Across the U.S.” list.

"...[L]ocated in a cool basement spot at 25 ½ North Block Avenue, just off the Historic Square," Only In Your State wrote in their entry. "It serves classic American fare with an eclectic touch—homemade fries, craft and seasonal beers on tap, and desserts like grasshopper crepes. The burger menu is a big draw..."

Only In Your State also made note of Hugo's Bleu Moon Burger (with melted bleu cheese), Smoky Cheddar Burger, Guacamole Burger, Swiss & Bacon Burger and Jalapeño Cheeseburger, "among others."

The basement burger joint was also a 2023 Arkansas Food Hall of Fame finalist. Hugo's is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
