Jon Allen Beverage & Design
“0ur hope was for there to be intentional comfort in Johnson, Arkansas, that offered beautiful, ingredient driven, incredible food and beverage in an environment that melds casual counter service with high concept design. It’s called “Hail Fellow Well Met,” an old English greeting that is used for all regardless of social station. From a wine list composed of only biodynamic wines, to coffee that boasts the most robust full transparency initiative in Specialty coffee, to plates featuring local, curated proteins, heritage eggs, and heirloom grains and beans, we want everyone to be welcome, to feel comfortable, and to enjoy the highest mark of food in an accessible way. The restaurant is built in the footprint of the house we grew up in, representing a new iteration of hospitality on common ground. "
