While waiting for our flight, my daughter and I decided to have a quick lunch at Chili's inside the…read moreairport. Quick is the best way I can describe here. You want to get in and get back to your next area to set off for your destination. Plus, you don't want to take up too much time for the next person. There are tables and chairs available with very little room to haul around your luggage. My daughter and I sat ourselves and we scanned the QR code on the table to see the menu and order our food. We went with steak and chicken fajitas. It comes with rice and beans. On a separate dish, the toppings- pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. It doesn't come out in a sizzling skillet like I'm used to. However, we got 2 pieces of chicken breast and a piece of steak, cut into perfect slicesb on top of onions and bell peppers. There were 4 taco sized flour tortillas warmed up and rolled up in foil. Most of it was delicious, but the tortillas were not warmed up enough and had a weird taste to them because of that. Also, the onions and bell peppers were almost perfect... they were cooked until tender, but there were some flat black chips/flecks in with it and I think it was from being scraped off the flat top.. it tasted like cleaner and not charred pieces of food. I scraped off as much as I could and ate around those. We were never asked if anything tasted ok, but she was really nice when we saw her in the beginning. In the end, we just ate this as if it were a burrito bowl. You are able to pay your check by using the QR code or we just paid cash.

Riverbend was okay. Just okay. But it's one of only a few options if you're at this small airport…read moreand want a meal you didn't carry in with you. The food was average at best. Several of us ordered Barbecue (provided by another local, and very good restaurant), but it still easily took 30 minutes for it to come out, along with the other food that wasn't BBQ. When it did, it the BBQ was cold and dry. Then we had to ask for BBQ sauce. And it wasn't clear why food that we knew was already prepared took so long to come to the table. My son (as he often does) ordered a plain hamburger. It came out with cheese, so they had to take it back to make it right. The waitstaff was definitely polite (making this a two-star review instead of a one-star review) but incredibly slow. Interestingly, our waitress offered up that it was a "crazy day" and they were busy because people hadn't showed up to work, but from what we could see, there were only another 5-7 people in the restaurant. No one was busy. There appeared to be at least two waitresses working, as well as another fellow who was clearly helping from the back. No one seemed to be in a hurry though, and given how few customers there were, we were a bit baffled at the comment about being so busy. The gent who wasn't waitstaff actually interacted with us quite a bit more than our waitress did. Another fellow who seemed to be the manager also came to our table a few times to ask how things were. When we were finished with our meals, it took entirely too long to get the waitress to come back by with the check. It seemed the staff would be very aware they're working inside an airport, with customers who are most likely on a schedule to catch a flight. Thankfully we were there early and not in a rush. While we waited, at least one other table of three had to get up and poke a head into the kitchen to find someone to pay. while that fellow paid, his colleagues rushed off, presumably to make their flight(s). This restaurant was one of two that we ate at with very similar food and staff issues during our week-long visit to Little Rock. If it wasn't for several other places we visited on the trip that were good (and even amazing), I might have though I was mistaking a more casual/relaxed style of service with bad service. But I know that's not the case when there were several other establishments we visited that put this place to shame. If you have the time and need a meal at the airport, give it a go. Otherwise, I recommend checking out another establishment or eating before you arrive.

I have been flying back and forth for the better part of four years and I have never had any issues. I wouldn't give it 4 stars but its not what I would call a dive either. Its small, comfortable and not a bad place at all to kill some time waiting for your next flight. I usually come in, order a soda and be on my way. Today, after having been told my flight would be delayed from 3pm to a take off time of 9pm I stop in, pull up a chair and plant myself in front of the TV. The news is on and I figured I would catch a quick sound bite. "Excuse me can I help you" In the voice that makes you feel like you did something wrong or you are not in a place you should be. I say "No, thank you...I'm just catching the news" "Well you are in a seat for my paying customers" a rather overweight man says in THAT voice and asks me to move. I later found out his name was James. "No problem" I say.....I move...Hey...I'm tired, its going to be a long wait, and I just wanted to catch the news. No problem. I have to make way for the paying customers right? so I move. "No, not that seat, paying customers sit there too" I look around and choose another seat "No, not there either..." he says.... There are two other gentlemen who were paying their tab and getting ready to leave and he was speaking to me in the LOUD ENOUGH SO EVERYONE can hear tone. "But there are no customers in here at all, and the two that were just left if anyone comes in I will just move." I tell him. "Well if you are there they won't come in" Now I want you to look at the picture I posted, when I say there were no customers there....there were none. Zero. Also look at the picture posted of the airport....there were very few people in the airport as well. It was 4pm, on a Monday at Little Rock Airport. After his "audience" leaves he comes back in to say "oh well there are no delays so you can have a seat." Now I have been in this place many times before. Sometimes I buy a soda sometimes I catch the news but when I come in I'm usually in Military Uniform. Today I was in civilian clothes, and was spoken to by this underpaid, overweight, barely making minimum white employee. (yes it had racial undertones) and told to "Make way" Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy......this is not the place you want to dignify with your presence, there are better place trust me.

Because of the great experience I had at lunch, I decided to take my wife there on Thursday night for dinner. Let me be clear: Dinner was a hit! I will start with the Atmosphere. I will be honest, the atmosphere is nice enough. The place is clean for sure. It is not as comfortable a place as some and is reminiscent of many restaurants I have been to. By that I mean, it is almost formulaic in it's set up. Nothing about it is unique or screams Arkansas or Little Rock to me. That is OK, I just want to be clear about the ambiance of the place. I still would give it a four out of five stars on ambiance. That said, it only gets better from here! For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp appetizer, and it was superb! As good as any you will find in NOLA and definitely the best in Arkansas. I highly recommend. For our main courses, my wife had the bacon wrapped filet and I had the rib-eye. We had never tried Samantha's steaks before and I hate to think what all we have been missing because our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We shared a side of cheese grits and couldn't had a better meal! For our dessert, we shared a slice of their key lime pie, and again, it was wonderful. A strong five star rating for the food here at Samantha's for sure. As good as the food was, our server Taylor was about the best I have seen in Little Rock since the days of Ashley's at the Capitol hotel. Every dish we ordered that I just described was a recommendation from Taylor. I love it when someone knows their stuff and she was super knowledgeable, with just the right amount of tending to us. Not too much looking over our shoulder every two minutes, but always there when we needed her. Samantha's is lucky to have her on their team. Another strong five star rating regarding service. Can't wait to go back. I feel like they are hitting their stride at Samantha's!

I ordered a fried green tomatoes appetizer and Tom Yum grilled shrimp entree w/ a cucumber onion salad side. The app presentation was as expected garnished and dressed with roumalade.

Nope...two undressed, ungarnished skewers of dry shrimp on a plate for $19. That's it, that's all. The best item of the meal was the marinated 2 ingredient "salad" which was... sweet & savory $12. Lastly, what ended up being a "concept" of key lime pie. Presentation glorious, a dinner sized plate decorated with swirls and a decent size helping of a sweet item. This was what looked like an inch of cake crumbs that were recycled by pressing into a form with a 1/4 inch thin layer of key lime custard over top. $9
