The perfect date night restaurant when you want something between a chain restaurant and an expensive higher end option. The atmosphere is laid back and fun, but intimate enough to enjoy time to talk and enjoy the meal. The menu has a wide variety of options so it's a great place for most anyone, including picky eaters. The service is amazing, the waiter we had checked on us just enough to feel taken care of but wasn't constantly checking in. They have an amazing patio and friendly staff everywhere you look. I can't recommend it highly enough. read more

The only redeeming quality was the service. The employees were so kind and welcoming! Now to the bad part, we got the deviled eggs - the description: deviled eggs with million dollar bacon and shrimp. Well the egg is fried which I was not expecting, due to the egg being fried it was over cooked, the deviled part was bland and the bacon was "hundred dollar bacon" at best. For our entree we got the bbq for two, the chicken tasted like they tried too hard to get the smoke flavor, the baked beans were just straight up bad - I don't think they used the right beans, the slaw was not slaw-ing, the pulled pork was ok if you changed your mindset to it being a roast, the ribs weren't memorable. Now this is coming from someone who grew up in Memphis and knows about good bbq so maybe I'm being too harsh and it's my fault that I order bbq from a non bbq restaurant, but imo if you're gonna serve it, do it right or take it off the menu. read more

From my initial search for a slightly upscale brunch spot that wouldn't break the bank, this restaurant seemed to check all the boxes. Indeed, it was beautiful on the outside. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. Right away, the noise level inside was overwhelming. With virtually no sound-dampening materials anywhere in the dining room, conversation was difficult. I would recommend requesting one of the round booths, as they may help somewhat, but don't expect a dramatic improvement. Despite sitting only a couple of feet apart, our table struggled to hear one another. Sitting outside (when possible) is your best bet. The larger issue began after our party of four placed our orders. For reasons I still can't understand, three meals were partially delivered while the fourth guest's food was nowhere to be seen. Twenty minutes later, it still hadn't arrived. This pattern of long delays and poor service coordination continued throughout the meal. In total, nearly an hour passed--57 minutes, to be exact--between the first meals arriving and the final plates being served. Failing to serve an entire table at roughly the same time creates the impression of a poorly managed operation. While our server was pleasant and did her best, the rest of the staff appeared undertrained and unprepared. At one point, after clearing a guest's finished plate, staff placed the used utensils directly on the table rather than removing them. That's simply not acceptable. Ultimately, the problems we experienced seemed less related to food quality and more related to training, communication, and overall execution. To the restaurant's credit, the manager recognized that our experience fell well below expectations and graciously comped our table. As first-time visitors, that gesture was appreciated. Unfortunately, I had specifically chosen this restaurant as a surprise brunch destination for my father's 75th birthday, and the celebration did not go as planned. read more

Just not worth the prices they are charging. The food was not good. They are trying to be a high-scale restaurant with sub-par food. Clam chowder was thick and gravy-like. The service was quick but server did not offer any insight into the menu. I would not recommend. read more

If you expect the same ambience and food that was offered by the beloved Fred's Hickory Inn, be prepared. Same building, same location but that's about it. We got engaged at Fred's 10 years ago and hoped to spend Valentines reminiscing.... Nope. Not even the same type of food. We ordered the calamari and it tasted like it had a gallon of salt. Then the $50 filet I got was tough. The prime rib my husband got was also tough. We opted for the salad bar... it had about 6 items on it and the dressing was served in individual cups out of a mini fridge. Apparently someone forgot to stick it up because there was two options only and everything else was empty. Let's talk about the ambience, so disappointing. A big, open, stark, cold room similar to a cafeteria. The only thing not a total bummer was the service. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Table at Hickory Inn consistently delivers. Even with new ownership, the food is solid. Service could be improved but honestly finding truly top notch good service is hard these days. It is a great place to sit on the patio, have family dinner or a date night. read more

I am the reviewer frustrated about the Thanksgiving Buffet meal, with one price listed on their website ( which we saw) and another on their Facebook site (which we didn't see). I'm so pleased to report that the manager reached out to me and worked to make things right. She was very kind and professional. We will definitely visit this restaurant again when we come back to Bentonville. read more

Love the food here! Coming to the Sunday brunch our favorite time to go. Everything is delicious and we come here as often as we can! Our favorites are the Mac and cheese, bacon, cinnamon roll, and salmon! read more

I'm sorry to write a negative review because I really wanted this restaurant to succeed. We have dined here four times but unfortunately the food has consistently been below the standard we expect from a Table restaurant. On our most recent visit, my side salad contained mix lettuce with some brown leaves and another type of lettuce on a plate had noticeable brownish orange discoloration. This seems like a management and quality control issue, as produce should be checked carefully before being served to customers, the appetizer was overly salted, and my husband's jambalaya was also much too salty. It felt as though neither dish had been tasted before being served. On a positive note our server, Chris was very attentive and provided excellent service. I truly hope the restaurant improves we wanted to support it but after four visits and repeated disappointments with the food quality we do not plan to return. read more

We went for our first time and were pleasantly surprised! The food was wonderful, I had the chicken and waffles and my husband had the Sunday buffet. We will be back for sure! read more

Took my family here for Thanksgiving dinner......I was thankful when our meal was concluded. The only bright spot of our meal was our server Caedra, who was bright, cheerful, and attentive. It goes downhill from here...... Last year, the dinner for Thanksgiving was served buffet style, which was nice.....I was able to pick and choose the food I wanted. I am assuming that the owners of this place wanted to increase the seating and did away with this to make more money, and did away with the buffet in favor of a "family style" meal. I am normally not opposed to a family style meal, assuming that there is actually room on the table for all the dishes. However, this was not the case.......dishes were packed on the table to the point my father-in-law kept bumping his elbow on the rolls. Oh, and then there was the noise of the restaurant.....I have been to NHRA drag races that were quieter than the inside of this place. You literally could not hear the person across the table from you...... Food-wise, each family style dish was served with barely enough to feed a single person. Granted, you could get more any time you wanted, but still this could have been avoided had more been in each dish to start with (i.e. turkey comes to mind, as it was a Thanksgiving meal). The prime rib was definitely past it's prime and dry as cardboard, the turkey had a weird orange flavor on it, and the ham was also overdone. Pumpkin pie was a joke.....instead of a slice of pie, it was basically filling in a jar with whipped topping. Final insult after a $39.99 per person meal? $7 for coffee.......Starbucks is way overpriced, but this place now has taken the lead in the ridiculous price for coffee. My overall conclusion is that my money would have been better spent at Denny's. read more

We won't be back. Have eaten there several times in the 4 years we have lived here and in the past always had at least an average experience. Tonight one in our party asked to make a substitution in their meal, answer was no without any finesse or professionalism in the delivery. I could maybe accept a negative response (although would expect a yes or for the establishment to offer an alternative) but a flat out no from an less than confident, seemingly inexperienced server left a bad taste. Customers isn't always right although in the service industry businesses should at least make an effort to satisfy the customer. Too many other good options around Table. In all fairness, I do want to say that after posting the above review, I did get a speedy, thoughtful and generous response from management read more

We had an absolutely great lunch this week. I see other opinions but food, quantity, service, atmosphere and price were stellar. If you are fortunate enough to have Rachel handle your table you will be happy. She was the perfect blend of friendly, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and quick witted. The lunch started with a salad bar and a pasta bar cooked to your desire--- that would be enough but it also included a choice of about 8-10 entrees. Not reduced but full size. Don't stop yet because you get a choice of 3. Full portion desserts. All for $18. It was too much food ( but we ate it all). Everything was well prepared and tasted great. My buddy got salmon which is not always a great choice but it was very good. The atmosphere is calm, relaxed and something I will definitely experince again read more

Table at Hickory Inn UPDATE: Alex, the General Manager, was very apologetic and seemed to be genuinely sorry about our experience. She fully refunded our dinner and even personally delivered lunch to my mother, which I felt was going above and beyond. ------- We called ahead to confirm the closing time of 8 pm and to put our name in for priority seating, to ensure we would have at least a full hour and not be rushed (or inconvenience the staff with a last-minute walk in). We weren't a large party, just four generations out to enjoy a pleasant birthday dinner for our 86-year-old Mom/Grandma/GG. The first issue, that we should've addressed, was that they sat us at a table that was on quite a slant and was wobbly. Keep in mind we had a three year-old and an 86-year-old with a walker. And there were several empty tables nearby on flat ground. Not an ideal set up. We were seated right away (around 6:50), and quickly ordered an appetizer and kids meal for our little guy. On three different occasions we mentioned that we would like to see a drink menu; we never did. The kids meal arrived about 5 minutes later, then our appetizer. Water hadn't been poured nor our dinner order taken. We knew what we wanted and ordered; the rest of the food came in about 10 minutes, and the server wanted to remove our appetizer that we were only halfway through. (There were several times throughout the meal that staff attempted to take plates away while we were still eating off of them.) As soon as the food arrived, flies began to swarm (nobody to blame there, we chose to sit outdoors). We were constantly swatting them away and had brought our own small fans that we were trying to use to battle them. I finally asked for extra napkins to lay on top of the food that was sitting and not being eaten at the time, and the server brought us a fan designed to keep flying insects away, but again, not until we had been very frustrated with the flies and trying to take care of them on our own with no attentiveness from staff regarding that issue. Overall the food was just average. The chicken strips and fries in the kids meal were good. The barbecue was pretty good. The slaw was bland. The three adults ordered salads, two of them with Ranch and Parmesan dressing. The salads were brought back with vinaigrette; we were told that they were out of the other dressings and the server took the liberty of choosing our dressing for us without any thought of potential dietary restrictions or even just preferences. Even if the food had been outstanding, it would've been impossible to actually enjoy it, with the lack of care from staff and feeling rushed and uncomfortable. We had to ask repeatedly for water refills, the glasses were very small. Eventually the server brought a pitcher and left it at the table without taking the time to refill our empty glasses. That seemed a bit subpar for a full service (and not the most affordable) restaurant. With staff hovering, it became clear that we had worn out our welcome (around 7:45), so we asked the server to take a photo to commemorate our celebration. Even then we felt rushed. She started taking pictures before we had a chance to get in position, which takes a couple of minutes with a three year-old and an elderly person in a walker. We didn't realize we were finished with dinner until we returned to our table and our dishes were in the process of being cleared. We shoved a couple of bites in our mouths before the plates were taken and hurriedly packaged what was left of our food to take with us. We would have liked to have five minutes or so at the end of the meal to decide on our own that we were finished and ready to leave, rather than feeling like we were being ushered out to the car, well before 8:00. We were pulling away at 7:57, after stopping on the way to the parking lot to take a selfie or two. We have been to this restaurant several times through the years (even when it was "Fred's"), but after this experience, we have no plans to return. Our family eats out rather frequently, and we all agree this was the worst experience we've had at a restaurant from the standpoint of service. If you decide to eat here, you may want to plan for at least two hours prior to closing time to have a relaxing dinner and not feel rushed. read more

Went for my twins 18th bday dinner. Atmosphere was open and serene, we sat inside. Ethan was our server, he was knowledgeable about the menu, had a great attitude and was very attentive. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service was even better!! We were gifted a non alcoholic champagne for the 18th bday as well as a free dessert for the bday boy. What an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

Brunch of champions.

This restaurant is overpriced and uneventful. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment on many levels.

I have no words for how AMAZING the food is - we had leftovers and it was still tasty the next day! The staff was so friendly and the owner walked around to say hi to everyone (also shout out to our server Eve who was a complete angel)! We will definitely be back, we did have to wait a bit to be seated but I feel like your patience yields reward. Also the vibe and artwork was very cool! read more

This place is soooo cozy and we will for sure be back. The staff were all great and super welcoming as well. We are especially looking forward to visiting over the summer when we can enjoy eating outside. Now for the food... I'll say it was good, really good and I was hoping for great. I don't want to take anything away from it so let me explain just a little... It was our first time there so I asked what they were known for and I ordered based on that. I ordered the Charleston Filet and a French onion soup to start. My wife ordered a chicken dish. The French onion soup came and was absolutely great. It was very cheesy and full of flavor. The chicken dish my wife ordered was great according to her. My filet on the other hand was... decent. Not bad but definitely not great. We did order dessert and OMG the bread pudding and cheesecake was unreal! So this all comes back to the steak... I was just expecting more as it was recommended. We will be back very soon and I'll try something else and hopefully I can give a 5 next trip! read more

We gave the Hickory Inn Sunday brunch a try today and I was disappointed after reading reviews and finding out the group also owns Mirabella's table. The service was slow and our food was dry and overcooked. The French Toast was the driest I've ever had and the eggs Benedict was overcooked. The plates were definitely under a heat lamp for awhile and not being served on time. Our waiter was fine and friendly. But the team would constantly forget items we ordered and we would have to bring it up to remind them. The restaurant wasn't that busy for slow service and badly prepared dishes. When I compare it to Mirabella's service and quality, it's night and day. The freshness and service at Mirabella's is always superb. I'll continue to go to Tavola and Mirabella's, but I won't be returning to Hickory Inn. read more

Lunch was a new buffet salad style plus you pick 1 out of their featured entrées and 1 dessert. The food was delicious and serving sizes were dinner sized for lunch prices. $18 per person!

I didn't take any pictures I'm sorry, but the service was excellent and the food was equally excellent we will be going back there definitely. read more

We had a lovely meal. The ribeye was to perfection. I had the salmon...delicious. Everything was very good. Only thing I had issue with was the seating. We made reservation for 6. They crammed us into a booth.. 6 adults in a booth.. not okay. Other than that, a great experience read more

As Addison stated in her review, things were a little dicey for a while here. Our niece and her fiancé reserved the big room for their wedding rehearsal dinner. The new owners tried to pull a bait and switch on them too. They got through it and came to a somewhat satisfying resolution. The night of the event, the wait and bar staff was magnificent! The smoked prime rib was delicious, albeit at room temperature. The chicken was also not very warm. The potatoes and pasta dishes were hot and enjoyable. 50/50 on the food. 100% on the service and 25% on the new owners. read more

Fabulous location! So secluded but still in town. My first trip since they changed name and ownership. Doesn't seem like much has changed. But what has changed seems to be improvements. Tried the smoke prime rib. Quite tasty! A little on the tough side but perfectly done medium rare! And amazing flavor! Plenty of smoke! Best baked potatoes ever!! Don't know what they do to them but very, very yummy!! Salad was good but the croutons were too big and weren't crisp at all... perhaps even leaning toward the stale side. All the dressings are made in house! The vinaigrette was good. But not fabulous. The fresh hot bread with cinnamon butter was quite tasty and they brought out plenty!! Tyler, our waiter, was very attentive and keep our glasses full and was very helpful as some our party is vegetarian and most of the menu items were not vegetarian friendly. They were very good at finding alternatives and making suggestions for substitutions. The only negative was the NOISE level! Oh my - could hardly hear myself think and seriously bad for hearing impaired!! A fairly large party in the hall and the sounds echoed badly! The pricing was a little high... but not too bad for such a nice venue and quality food! I look forward to coming again! read more
