Camp David, the longtime downtown restaurant at 600 Interstate 30 in Little Rock’s Holiday Inn Presidential hotel, is launching a new soul food-inspired lunch menu next week.

Named after the presidential retreat in Catoctin Mountain Park in Frederick County, Maryland, Camp David is one of those restaurants everyone knows about because of its location right off the interstate, but it’s not a restaurant you hear people talking about much. Fort Smith-based real estate investment and management company CSK Hotels wants to change that.

The restaurant’s new menu from executive chef Rene Tank includes smothered pork chops, oxtails, meatloaf, catfish and fried chicken. Sides include mac and cheese, cabbage, collard greens, pinto beans, great northern beans. Glazed pound cake, red velvet cake and sweet potato pie will be offered for dessert, Tank said.

The eight story, 150-room hotel has been owned by CSK Hotels since March 2019. It was built in 1970 and converted from a Best Western InnTowner into the Holiday Inn Presidential in 2002. CSK also owns the multi-use Town Club Building at 720 Garrison Ave. in Fort Smith that houses the new fine dining Italian Restaurant, Prima Italia, located in the former Rialto Restaurant space. CSK founding partner Storm Nolan is the owner of Arkansas cannabis cultivator River Valley Relief in Fort Smith.

Camp David’s new lunch menu debuts on Tuesday, March 26. Its hours are listed below.
