Very Delicious!! In town from College Station Tx for U of A graduation. Recommendation from our Air B&B host. Best fried shrimp and catfish my family and I have eaten with the speediest and friendliest service. read more

Dang this place rocks! Love the southern fish fry vibe. Very good margaritas and the food is even better. Had the catfish jambalaya it was 10/10. Super fun place. Try it you'll love it! read more

This salad was excellent! The salmon was wonderfully grilled and flavorful. The cranberries and shaved almonds in this dish give it a 10/10. I would highly recommend ordering this salad. I think it should come with two sides of dressing but the tarter sauce pairs nicely with it as well. Overall I am very happy with my choice. Also the banana pudding is the best I have ever had!! read more

I haven't been lucky enough to try this place yet but if that trash-hole Marc Dellanor can give them 1 star for having a rainbow on their property, I wanted to give them and the other places this Loser gave fake reviews for a 5 star to counter it so people can get real reviews in the end :) He uses the same sourpuss story in all his posts too. Flying Fish has a very nice looking selection and is beautifully decorated. I hope everyone can make it there to enjoy their goodies! read more

I walked into flying fish, not sure about seafood since I live in Fla, this place on par with Louisiana cuisine, I got gumbo and skewing shrimp, they grill the lemon on skewer, so aromatic and tasty to seafood, love the Tito lemonade to calm your palate , if u miss this joint , you're nuts real good and open during a snow storm read more

Such a fun place- you've just gotta experience it when you're in old town Bentonville. Our cashier, Sergio, was so sweet and helpful. When he found out we were from out of town he recommended some dishes to us and told us a bit about the history of the restaurant. Usually they give you a number and call you and you come back to the counter and pick up your food but Sergio told us to just have fun looking around at all of the crazy/interesting décor and he would bring our food to us- such a nice thoughtful thing to do. We were very impressed. The food was all really good, but expect big portions and plan to take a lot home to enjoy as snacks later. I have had a lifelong love affair with fried okra so of course I ordered that. The corn meal that it was fried and was a bit too soft for my liking but it was still really delicious. The hush puppies are literally the best I've ever had, they had a touch of sweetness to them. We will definitely be back when we are in Bentonville again. read more

The food was hot and delicious. I had the shrimp and catfish and hubby had frog legs. We were both very happy. Service with a smile and walking the downtown Bentonville square is always cool. read more

Terrible entrees. Fish was dry & did not have any flavor. The same is applicable for the sides as well. We were craving seafood during our visit to Bentonville, Arkansas. This place was very disappointing. read more

It's been a while since I've been here but tonight was amazing!!! I've tried the place with catfish in the title and their fish doesn't compare. Plus there's a whole lot more to choose from. The shrimp tacos are great. Oysters on the half shell are fresh a delicious. I highly recommend driving to downtown Bentonville and get some great seafood. read more

Great vibe! Great Southern Food! Great Menu all brought to you by ALL Hispanic Employees and cooks. read more

Love the look and vibe of this place! How can you go wrong with a wall full of Billy Bass? I enjoyed the shrimp and oyster basket, and being able to make my own cocktail sauce. The menu looked like it had a little but if everything and I hope I get to visit again. read more

Awesome menu and excellent service. Been there before and look forward to doing it again when I'm in the area.

Getting inside is something to behold. It has the feel of a fishing shack. I really like the theming of this place. They are quite consistent with the theming. I have been to the one in the Memphis, and they have similar feel. What is most noticeable is their wall of bass. I am not sure if they are real bass. They are most likely those cheap bass that sings which I thought that they will lose business quickly. Who would want to get those stupid bass. Well, Flying Fish is the reason that they had some business because of the sheer amount of plastic bass on the wall. They have quite a selection aside from fish. Since this is the South, when they say fish, they meant catfish, but they have other selections like tilapia. I ordered the fried catfish, of course. That is supposed to be their specialty. I chose the 4 pieces catfish that comes with fries and hushpuppy. I got it as to go. When they gave me my order, I really appreciate the way they put it on a nice box. They also provided that necessary ketchup and tartar sauce without me asking for it. As for the catfish, it was extremely good. It was cooked perfectly, very tender on the inside. The breading was just right. It was not very thick that makes it so hard, but it has enough so that it has that crunch on every bite. The saltiness was perfect. They did put some spices on it. However, extremely good does not mean extraordinary. I do not think that their catfish stands out from the rest. With that price point, I am expecting a little more, but all I got is an extremely good normal catfish. I recommend coming here to try it out. Someday, I will return to try their other offerings. As for the catfish though, it is just an ordinary extremely good catfish. read more

Can't deny their food is delicious and they have a fun, family friendly vibe. That's what keeps us coming back. However, my rating is three stars because when they get a little busy they are simply an unorganized mess behind the counter. It's been this way since before Covid, and now that larger capacity dining is returning, so are their bad habits when customers are trying to order or pick up their food. ‍ They seem to have plenty of staff, but why the 1 or 2 guys taking and filling orders seem to be overly involved in EVERYTHING else defies organizational logic for trying to be efficient and effective. Tonight's added bonus... the soda machine is broken, but neither of the busy bodies at the counter are telling any customers. ‍ read more

I love EVERYTHING on the menu! We live in So Cal and this is always our first spot to visit. Keep up the excellent service and food! read more

Are here last weekend, and it was very good. Gumbo was cooked nicely, and the boiled crab and shrimp were good as well. Would dine here again. read more

I must have ordered the wrong dish :( When I walked in, it smelled so good in the restaurant and I was actually quite excited for some southern style seafood dish. But I was probably too excited and ordered the grits without thinking a second. When my dish came to the table, my heart sank... Am I supposed to eat this thing in soy sauce? It didn't taste anything better than it looked. read more

Today I got to finally try the Flying Fish. Thank goodness for door dash. Food arrived hot and PERFECT! Everything was delicious! I have been craving fried clams and now I know where to go for it! I heard the fish tacos are to die for but that's for another time. I also ordered corn on the Cobb. It had a bit of spice to it but it sure was sweet and scrumptious!!! read more

Y'all! This is WONDERFUL! Loved literally the entire experience! Our food was absolute perfection! I'm kind off doing Weightwatchers and this place made it easy even though there are lots of fried options besides the yummy grilled one! It's a hoot to come in here. I have no idea how long they've been there but it's a definite trip back in time! I highly recommend the shrimp k-bob and the corn on the cob is a MYST! Enjoy, Yelpers! read more

We loved this place. We had 4 adults and a child. We had a variety of food. Everything was well cooked and seasoned. The atmosphere was fun with the Billy bass adoption wall. Service was friendly. You order and then pick up your order and take it to the table. read more

Loved this place!!! Right in the heart of town square. So much character in the ambience. You stand in line and place your order. All sorts of fresh fish options. Great sides and dessert. Margaritas and beer. I got the snow crab and it was delicious. Highly recommend the fried pickles. Very thin and perfectly crispy. The 18 Oz margarita was delicious and refreshing. Would definitely come back. read more

Great food! Casual, family friendly cafeteria atmosphere that makes me feel like I'm in New Orleans. Service is quick even if there's a long line. The photos and kitschy decor is entertaining. I always get fried catfish with beans - my favorite. Always reliable when I want to get some quick good. read more

I've been going here for years. Just recently we were there and I had the Caddo. It was fantastic!!!! It was talapia with a wonderful sauce with grilled shrimp on top. So good!! read more

Service: I was greeted when I walked up to the restaurant counter. I politely told the waiter to hold on a second. He waited for me patiently. Food: I ordered 12 Jumbo shrimp and it came with fries. The shrimp was well seasoned. Not too salty which is good. The fries and were good as well. I definitely will eat here again. read more

Ate here for the first time today on a whim. We were heading out to the Bentonville Film Festival and needed a place to eat. My in laws told us it was good here. So we took our kids. My husband has the fried oyster PoBoy, I had the shrimp PoBoy, my oldest had the kids chicken strips, and my youngest had the kids friend shrimp. All super good. However a bit pricey. But all in all we liked it. They also had a sign that said if you brought in your Bill Bass, you got a free basket of catfish. So they were covering some of the walls. read more

The place was very clean and comfortable atmosphere. The food was amazing.l, except my feied oyster plate. We were visited by the owner, he was extremely polite. He questioned me about the breading not eaten on my plate. After explaining how it was all breading and oysters the size of a nickel, he took the plate, said give him a moment and he returned with some amazing fried oyster, the size of a business card. They were absolutely delicious. That is great customer service! We will be back! read more

Interesting divey type fish hall. The decor and ambiance is a bit gimickey - but overall its a decent place to get decent fish. I wasn't too impressed with the fried catfish and butterfly shrimp - it was a bit unflavored - the crust was nice though, but generally unimpressive. There seemed to be a lot of other menu items here that intreigued me - so i'm sure i'll be back again. read more

I am basing this review on 1 dish and on 1 visit. I ordered the gumbo over grits. It was some of the best gumbo I've ever had! It was so good that after tasting my food, my brother ended up going back up to the counter and ordering a bowl of gumbo--After he had finished his fried fish. Super casual atmosphere, easy order at the counter and finding your own table type of dining. If you're craving Cajun when in Northwest Arkansas, this place is legit! read more

This is such a funky, dive-y place. I have never been disappointed in their grilled fish platter. The seasonings are yummy, the rice & beans work just fine, and there is something magic that they do with their squash that I have never been able to replicate at home. read more

I had not been there in 2 years because Fish City is so much better. Went tonight and the food has gotten worse. Fish Tacos in an Old El Paso hard shell. Catfish had more breading than fish. This place has gotten worse, not worth the time/money/effort. read more

I really like this restaurant and have had great food every time I've been. My favorite dish is the crab legs. They are always fresh and tasty and the portion is healthy. Sides are good too. The prices are very reasonable. Note that you order up front and fetch your own food, drinks, silverware and such. I don't mind but some do. The atmosphere is neat and the location is good - just off Bentonville square so parking isn't difficult. For inland seafood, Flying Fish does a great job. I recommend. read more

Snooty, snooty, snooty uppity. They acted like they were a Michelin 5 star restaurant, rather than a tourist town pretentious dive- we didn't even bother eating dinner- it would have had to have been 5star read more

Not happy here. I ordered the " lobster stew" no lobster here. When I asked, I was told it was langostino. Not truly lobster. It wasn't bad, but not worth the price. The Grouper was dry , hard and flavorless. We also ordered the fried shrimp. Again no flavor, just cornmeal. Won't be going back. read more
