    Cinnamon roll and cherry vanilla bagel
    Megan T.

    We stopped at Panera on the way to go hiking for a quick breakfast. The good: *Enjoyed the breakfast - the cinnamon roll and the cherry vanilla bagel. Although, I do prefer the old round cinnamon rolls they used to have back in the day. The bad: *It was freezing cold in the restaurant. It was if it was 105 outside and they needed an ice box inside. It was a chilly fall morning and there was no need for that. *Service was not that great. The person taking our order was all over the place - going back and forth instead of focusing on taking our order, taking payment, etc. leaving us standing their while she focused on other things that didn't even deal with our order. I like Panera, but it's just not what it used to be - that is for all locations, not just this one.

    Rustic Baked Potato Soup

    First, the lady working the drive thru was very sweet. That was the only positive. The food is not good. At all. The potato soup was very watery and salty. Not creamy. Had MAYBE 3 tiny pieces of potato. Worst impression of potato soup I've ever seen in my life. I tried to eat the soup because I was hungry and I paid for it, but I only got half of it down soaking it up in bread. Dont waste your money here.

    Steak and White Cheddar sandwich.  Seriously lacking in Steak, Cheese and Onion.   Don't waste your money on this sandwich!

    Got a to-go order. The steak and white cheddar must be one of the skimpiest sandwiches I have ever had. I took my first bite and didn't get any beef or onion so I pulled it apart. Take a look at the picture. This is exactly how it was arranged inside no styling or rearranging of ingredients. One half the sandwich only had beef down one half the side. The other half sandwich only had beef on about two thirds of it! As for the cheese and pickled red onions. SKIMPY!!!!!! Certainly not a +$10.00 sandwich!

    This is supposed to be an egg white avocado and spinach breakfast sandwich

    This location usually doesn't disappoint but I've recently been seeing less and less effort on the stores part to get my orders out properly. My food literally looks like a toddler punched it and then tried to hide the misdeed. Not gonna keep coming here if I continue to have to eat my sandwich with a fork. Seriously, you can do better.

    I did the drive thru, this is what I got, the salad (fine) but what's with this half eaten piece of roll?

    Hello! My husband and I first visited in July 2024 when we were in our honeymoon and have LOVED IT…read moreever since. We came back 2-3 times just that week. We are now NWA residents and have visited at least 5 more times since going. World's best grilled cheese hands down, every time we get home I try and recreate it and it never works. We've recommended it to so many people and love love love it!! My favorite is the "Caprese Melt ."and my husbands is the "Parmageddon."

    Driving through Fayetteville, I had to stop at Hammontree's Grilled Cheese. I've seen this place…read moreall over the internet for years, so it finally made the list. First impressions were a bit mixed. The restaurant was quiet, but the floors were noticeably dirty, and the restrooms were just okay. Nothing outrageously bad, but definitely not as clean as I would expect for such a slow night. The service was probably the biggest disappointment. Our server wasn't rude, but she wasn't particularly welcoming either. She took our order, dropped off the food, and brought the check without ever really checking back in. There were only three occupied tables in the restaurant with three servers working, so it wasn't like they were overwhelmed. One thing that really stood out was that every employee in the dining room except the bartender had headphones either in their ears or hanging around their necks. It gave the impression that customer service wasn't much of a priority. I started by ordering a sweet tea, only to be told they don't have it because they brew their tea in-house and "can't add sugar." That explanation seemed a little odd. I switched to a Coke instead, which turned out to be one of the flattest fountain drinks I've had in a long time. After a few sips, I gave up and just drank water. Now for the part that really matters: the food. We ordered the Kids Rookie grilled cheese and the Big Dog from the kids' menu, along with the Cheebacca and the Brie's Company. We also couldn't leave without trying the Blueberry Grilled Cheese for dessert. The only real miss on the food side was the chips. They were stale, cold, and almost rubbery. Honestly, they were some of the worst house chips you could possibly have. The sandwiches deserve a much better side, or they'd honestly be better off taking the chips off the menu altogether. The kids' meals were an incredible value at only $5 each. My 5-year-old couldn't decide between a grilled cheese and a hot dog, so he got both. The Big Dog was excellent--hot, juicy, and grilled just long enough to get those perfect char marks. The Rookie was exactly what you'd want for a picky eater: simple, cheesy, and well made. The Cheebacca ($12) was packed with sharp white cheddar, house cheese, bacon, pulled pork, grilled onions, and a garlic cilantro sauce on sourdough. Every ingredient complemented the next, and nothing overpowered the sandwich. Easily one I'd order again. The Brie's Company ($12) was the surprise of the meal. Grilled apples, Brie, Gouda, caramelized onions, and fig jam on sourdough sounded adventurous, but it absolutely worked. Sweet, savory, rich, and balanced all at once. If you're willing to step outside the traditional grilled cheese, this one is worth trying. Then came dessert. The Blueberry Grilled Cheese ($7.25) combines mascarpone, cream cheese, fresh blueberries, and honey between slices of grilled pound cake. It sounds unusual, but somehow it's fantastic. It's one of those desserts that makes you question why you've never had it before. Awkwardly delicious in the best possible way, and absolutely worth ordering. Overall, Hammontree's is a place where the kitchen is doing almost everything right while the front of house leaves quite a bit to be desired. Cleaner dining areas, better service, and replacing those terrible chips would easily push this into 4 star territory. As it stands, the food absolutely lives up to the hype, but the overall experience holds it back. If you're passing through Fayetteville, it's still worth stopping in. Just skip the chips, order one of the specialty grilled cheeses, and don't leave without trying the dessert.

Clean and chill, so incidentally, no messes, which is weird for a Mess Hall. This restaurant seems to be very well managed, as shown by the service, food and vibe. Definitely worth checking out! Two thumbs up!

    With small kids I don't get out like I used to. When I do get out I've got to please a family and…read moreMess Hall never disappoints and you can trust me because I've been there probably 100 times. Do you like a good burger? I'd put them easily in the top 5 in Fayetteville and probably my favorite based on proximity to my house. Do you like a Ribeye? The N.A.T.O Grilled Ribeye is a beast of a sandwich that is worth the price. My wife sticks to one of the fried shrimp sandwiches because they are so good it doesn't make sense for her to change it up. You want a Ribeye but your kids want chicken tenders? They've got you covered. The tender baskets are massive! Burgers? Did I mention those? Got a picky kid that doesn't like cheese? Get the Royale w/ cheese with no cheese and it's the perfect size. Shout out to a shareable shrimp basket, excellent cold subs, a variety of hot subs including a great cheese steak and a riff on a french dip. Go to Mess Hall and go often. This is the kind of great, affordable, and consistent spot an area like east Fayetteville needs.
