    Definitely a downtown BV staple! My coworkers came here for dinner after work and it was a smooth experience. Plenty of options for a variety of fried fish and more. Service was quick. The decor is gimicky. It was such a fun hang!

    I wish I had known about thos place sooner. It's large, bright, airy and homey, and has hilarious decor. The menu has something for everyone, the service is polite and friendly, and the food is excellent. I was impressed with everything I saw. I ate a catfish poorboy on garlic bread, and the Mrs. Ordered shrimp. Sides were fries and hung puppies. We were thoroughly with the quality and flavor of the food. This place is a winner.

    Arkansas lucked out when fellow Dallasite Shannon Wynne decided to open one of his flying Fish restaurants in Bentonville! Trust me,it's a gift from above. I've been eating at the Texas locations for years without a slip up. This location mirrors the others with kitchy fish camp vibe and excellent seafood priced right. A Huge,Definite... Go!

    I adore the decor in here. It's covered wall to wall in singing Billy Bass, most of them decorated/themed. I had the 1 catfish filet basket, which came with hush puppies and fries. I thought the price was really good for seafood. The filet was crispy and I loved the texture. It was well seasoned and flaky. Fries weren't very crisp, but it'll do. I definitely recommend the catfish here. The atmosphere is super casual and there are paper towels and condiments at each table. You order up front and get a buzzer and pick up your own food. I had a great experience here, and would give it a 4.5/5, the only thing is that I thought the bathroom was dirty and there was some type of bug on the floor.

    The best tilapia ever. And great customer service. Will definitely try it again, Thanks! North west Arkansas, XNA

    Great fish shack right off the downtown square in Bentonville. Fresh fish and seafood (mud bugs when in season) and great sides. Grilled snapper or Mahi is always on point as well as all your fried favorites. Looks like a beach town fish shack with pictures of Trophey fish all over the walls. Counter service with friendly people ready to help.

    Seafood gumbo

    Since moving away from Dallas, it's been a minute since we've been to a Flying Fish, glad to say this location is just as tasty! The seafood gumbo rue was dark and delicious. Ordered the fried catfish and fried okra, yummy!!!

    What a fun place. There's tons of decor around the entire place. Very "fish shake" type of vibes here. You go and order at the back and go and have a seat. I ordered the grilled tilapia salad, which really hit the spot. My partner had the fried catfish po boy, red beans and rice and seafood gumbo. He is from Louisiana, so he really appreciated the taste of home and felt that they made everything perfectly.

    Had the Crab and shrimp. Was told it was spicy. Not so much but a perfect spice. Best hush puppy. Crispy on the outside but not dry

    Everything was good, but the slaw. The slaw needs some work. Otherwise, very tasty. I'll go back.

    Service/ experience/ ambiance: 5 Before we even ordered,…read morethey came by with some surprise ricotta and bread that was delicious. We got appetizers to split and they came out portioned into two separate bowls and plates. Really appreciated that! Complimentary corn bread and butter was good too. It's in the 21c hotel and has the fun green penguins randomly placed. Hotel guests pass through the hallway to get to the front desk but wasn't too distracting. Squash soup: 2 I don't know what happened, but mine was extremely salty. The other portion of squash soup was fine. We tasted each others and something went wrong with the salt. Gem lettuce salad: 3 Dressing was too acidic for both salad portions. Salmon: 5 Really good flavors. Well executed. Wagyu: 5 Really well done. Loved the flavors with the carrot and sweet potato puree.

    Had Thanksgiving dinner with a friend. We both had the beef short rib, green bean casserole,…read morepumpkin bisque, an appetizer, bread and pumpkin pie with buttermilk ice cream. I had the squash with duck and risotto appetizer. It was very good. The pumpkin bisque was tasty, although my dinner companion did not care for his. The short rib was mediocre and lacked good flavor. The rolls were not anything special. We thought they were store bought although our waiter assured us they were homemade - if so, back to the drawing board. Same for the corn muffins, Jiffy does it better. The pumpkin pie tart was lacking flavor, was hard and just unappealing. Neither of us took more than one bite. The star of the show was the green bean casserole. It was rich, comforting and full of flavor. The rest of the meal was below average and disappointing. Wait staff was accommodating, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Great job. Ambience was nice. The lighting was good and background music pleasant. The art, while innovative, was all homosexual themed and completely inappropriate for families with children. Our overall experience was lack luster and it is doubtful we dine at The Hive again. We expected elevated and innovative flavors and were highly disappointed.

    Had an amazing date night at Preacher's Son. Service was incredible!! We loved our server (Natalie…read moreI think?) and the drinks were strong and delicious. I loved the interior and how it was decorated. The grilled cheese was the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Definitely wouldn't be enough if there were more than 2 people at the table though. The pork porterhouse was good, the butter on top really gave the meat its flavor. The pasta was amazing. Great portion sizes for both. Overall: amazing classy dinner spot in NWA, would definitely come back!

    Saw the reviews about this restaurant and we had to try it out. Made reservations, which were…read morehighly recommended and found ourselves by ourselves at a 5 PM seating, but we are early birds in general. The space filled up within the next hour. Surprised to find a restaurant this caliber without a tasting menu however, the choices were interesting enough that we tried out these strawberry appetizer which combines in season strawberries with a tart cream sauce, and a balsamic vinaigrette, making for a sweet and sour combination The bread, butter combo was very good with the butter being infused with some heat. We went for a pretty standard selection of steak for two which was well prepared and came with a side of mushrooms and potato cakes. Honestly, the winner of the night was the wine. A nice wine list selection that included choices from California, Spain, France. We went with a rioja reserve which was a great pairing. There is no Sommelier or suggested wine pairings on the menu. The service was solid however, once the restaurant filled up, we found ourselves somewhat on our own. The dessert menu had a nice selection, but nothing that jumped out at us. Overall, a really interesting space, pleasant service, good food, great wine, and a nice evening.
