Missouri Pacific Railway Van Noy Eating House

The Missouri Pacific Railway Van Noy Eating House is a historic restaurant building at the corner of Seamans Drive and Railroad Street in McGehee, Arkansas, US. The single-story brick building was constructed c. 1910 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and housed a dining establishment operated by the Van Noy Railway News and Hotel Company. It is one of a small number of such buildings to survive in the state. The building was divided into three parts: a central kitchen served a lunch counter area on one side and a dining room on the other. The establishment closed in 1948.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
