We loved their burger and neff fries. Wow. Amazing quality and flavor. I am picky about burgers and only like the Blake St burger in town to order more than once. I would get this burger again. The only thing I didn't love was their sweet pickles, but everything else was amazing. Service was super prompt and food came out fast. Everything was clean and comfortable too. read more

Service was good but the food was awful and over priced. Had their burger that their supposedly know for and let's just say I've had better burgers at fast food restaurants read more

The food has a unique twist to the normal. Two of my kids ordered the Korean beef bowl. They loved the bulgogi and egg but were fans of the kimchi and radish, are about half! The loaded fries were a table favorite. Also tried the maze bowl but they were out of hummus so we tried it without and didn't get to taste the full effect of the meal. My child did not like the falafel in this dish. Overall it was good and different but not so kid fried with the menu options. Service was fine, restaurant was nice and clean. read more

Great food, really nice inside and my niece loved it. The service was great and I liked the television over the bar. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in Bentonville. The hummus, rice bowls, burger, fries, spaghetti & meatballs, short rib and desserts are REALLY good. We appreciate the all day happy hour on weekends (Castellani Sangiovese is fantastic) and wonderful bartender, Jake. Parking is convenient and close, unlike downtown Bville. read more

One of our favorite spots! The cheeseburger is amazing. Great drinks, chill vibe with amazing food. The salad is a must try!

Popped in a for our first time and had an amazing experience. Sat at the bar where the bartender took great care of us. Very attentive and full of recommendations. We ordered the Korean style beef bowl and the burger to share each. Both were stand out, cooked perfectly & full of flavor. The vibes were classy & cool but relaxed. We definitely will be back! read more

Super fun vibe! When you walk in the first thing I thought of was the perfect happy hour & cocktail kind of place with great modern decor. I give kudos to the original menu choice items and fresh ingredients. I just wish the men had a bit more to offer for dinner. The servers were super nice and fun...again making me think great for cocktails. For a full dinner experience, wouldn't be my first choice but for a night out with friends and some food, great spot. read more

My husband and I went for the first time on 9/11/24 & our waitress was so sweet & helpful! We got the the neffs fries to start - amazing, we devoured them. I got the Italian grinder with chips & at our waitress's suggestion I put said chips on the sandwich which was delicious! Hubby got a plain burger & fries (he's very picky) & absolutely loved it. We will 100% be back! read more

This place deserves all the love! Every time I come here the food is exceptional, the service is fantastic, and it's a perfect vibe. There aren't many places you can go in NWA and get elevated food at this great of a price. You either have crazy fancy super expensive or boring chains and normal prices. Let's give them some more love - check it out! 10/10. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I stopped by here for a late dinner having zero idea what they offered. This impromptu meal was delicious. From the food, to the drinks, to the service, everything was top notch. Super chill environment, great for a date. read more

I love Big Lieu! I want to try something different every time I visit, but the burger makes it so difficult . *They use fresh ground beef and the burger is so juicy and delicious. My husband and I compromised - he had the French dip and I had the burger and we split it! The best of both worlds. Also had a an opportunity to chat with Chef Trey tell him how much we love his new place. Gracie and Taylor were delightful with service. You can enjoy the dining room, sit next to the floor to ceiling wall of windows or have a seat at the very cool Razorback sports bar. Great food! Nice casual ambiance. read more

Our server was kind and attentive. We really enjoyed everything we had. I thought the spin on French dip was really fun and very delicious. I got it with the fries, which had a bbq seasoning so I really enjoyed how unique everything was. The bread pudding was delicious, with a perfect bit of crunch. We immediately regretted not getting it with the ice cream on it so lesson learned there. Excited to go back and try out some more things on the menu! read more

First time here, but definitely won't be the last! The food was phenomenal! A brisket sandwich that's not barbecue is a nice departure from the norm, and the seasoning was perfect--some heat, but not too spicy, just lots of flavor! The neff fries had seasoning on every single fry, which was a pleasant surprise. I loved the olive spread on the grinder as well. Service was awesome, and I love to see a restaurant with such a meaningful name and backstory! Can't wait to come back! read more

Best burger I've had in a long time and the service was great. We'll definitely be back.

I'm aways on the lookout for a good meatball sub. And the one at Big Lieu's did not disappoint. I tried that and the Italian grinder (which is another hankerin I often get). Both were supremely tasty! Nice vibe, they had the games goin, and good beer. It's a little off the beaten path, so may need to go lookin for it, but well well worth seeking it out. Next time, I get that craving for a tasty sandwich, i know where I'll be headed. There's nothing comparable in town. read more

Limited menu and beer selection. The staff is also limited and unfriendly and they do it all with a snarky smile. The place is clean and empty and I now understand why. read more

The menu was limited but the food was quite good. The bartender (Richie I believe) was spectacular and worth going back for his friendly and knowledgeable service alone! Accommodating of the game I wished to see while seated at the bar. I would recommend this upscale neighborhood bar and restaurant. read more

Extremely balanced and flavor-packed dishes made with high quality ingredients. You could order anything and I doubt you would be disappointed! Welcoming, kind, and attentive hospitality from the front of house. Inspiring drink menu! This place doesn't miss a beat. read more

Food and staff are fantastic here. I don't think I've had a meal from here that hasn't been great. The burger and the Korean bowl are my go toos and I believe they periodically carry a special on the weekend which was also delicious. read more

Great service, food, and drinks! The best burger in NWA! A couple additional favs... The La Hacienda cocktail, Cleeta Meatballs, Fried Mozzarella, and the Steakhouse salad. All so delicious! read more

My friends and I tried this restaurant after seeing a few videos from local food bloggers on Instagram. While I had high hopes, I ultimately left feeling the food and service was underwhelming. We were fans of the modern, airy ambiance, but ultimately felt the food was very average for the price - after tip, my lunch tab (for one) came out to $74. The $14 meatball appetizer came with three freezer-section-sized meatballs. I had the Mediterranean bowl with chicken for my entree. The rice, hummus, chicken and yogurt sauce were yummy, but the falafel were very dry and overcooked. I washed my meal down with a dirty neff, which was both unique and delicious. The service was a bit lackluster. We waited over 5 minutes for our soft drinks and more than 15 minutes for cocktails - there were only two other tables in the restaurant at the time. Then, towards the end of our meal, I felt like our server was pushing us to leave, likely ready to close out her tables and finish her shift. Not the end of the world, but also doesn't make for the most welcoming experience. read more

2 people drive into the parking lot of this restaurant. We weren't really sure if the restaurant was open. We walked in, they were open. Someone greeted us, asking us to follow him. He was walking to the back of the room. We mentioned that the table in the front, by the windows was preferred. The person throws the menus on the table and walks away. We didn't stay because of the attitude. I really want to like the hidden spot, because it is close. Get your act together and you will have more business. read more

Simply the best burger in NWA. Cannot believe the place isn't packed every time I show up. Great, great food - but behold the burger!

Great new spot in Bentonville! Service was top notch, super friendly staff, and the food is incredible. Large bar area with plenty of TVs to catch the big game. Cocktails are well thought and super delicious. If your are a Martini fan, you've gotta try the Dirty Neff! Favorite dishes so far are the Brisket Sandwhich, and the Burger. Both are soooo good. Don't skip out on the fries either, seasoned to perfection and served with a creamy garlic aioli. Can't wait to go back! read more

Big Lieutenant is a great out of the way food establishment with excellent service. They are noteworthy for their burger which is absolutely a winner but I will say that anything on the menu is a cut above traditional bar fare. The ambience is minimalist but very clean and well laid out. Interestingly photos on the site of certain foods were not on the menu which can be a bit misleading. I must assume some of the items were seasonal or test items and I was a little disappointed to not get the chance to try them. Still, I highly recommend this establishment and hope you enjoy it. read more

The food was good. Would come back and try other items on the menu. It was not busy when we had dinner. 4 tables max. Service is the reason for the 2 stars. Or lack there of service. One waiter greeted us with water. The host took our drink order. 5 minutes later. Then our server came and asked" what do you want?" No greeting or anything. We placed our order with her. Food came out delivered by the person who brought us waters. By the way we have not received our drink order yet! I asked. The host brought us our drink order. No check in by the server. She only brought us the check. Never checked on our food or refilled our water. I am leaving her name out of this review. May go back and try it again in the new year. But this place looks like a ghost town when I go into Social Project next door. read more

We were in town and needed good food for our dietary needs. It was better than expected!

This is no bar cleta... it's is missing a lot and somehow the mediocre food is still very pricey. It really is just worth the one time experience to then you can see it's complete mediocrity read more

A limited menu but the food was really good. It was really slow when we were there on a Sunday afternoon so the service was good, but we were the only ones our server had to deal with. For us, it was a bit more expensive than other options with the same type of food. My husband and I would go back but probably not the whole family. read more

Another delicious dinner at The Big Lieutenant: we had the French Dip and The Big Lew. The French dip twist is that it is made with braised pork and served with a pozole dip....The Big Lieutenant Burger is a double patty with caramelized onions and bread and butter pickles. We chose the Neff Fries as our side, highly addictive seasoned fries with a hint of sweet, the perfect offset to the savory Sammies. We love this place and the staff, always super friendly!! read more

It's very overpriced, the drinks are good but you'll notice they randomly add a "mixed drink" tax to your bill, I find it odd. I cannot rate the food because I haven't tried it but something about $20 burgers just irks me. I'm sure it's good though. 3 stars because I could take it or leave it, never a bad experience the past two times I've gone but also doesn't draw me to think about it. I may not be the audience for it though. read more

This place is great! I love that it's very good, freshly prepared food with a relatively basic menu. Our kids love it too. Great job chef!

I would not know how to review the food here but the disrespect of the establishment is 10/10. Every app and especially their own website advertised them to be open on Mondays. We drove in from out of town, went out of our way during rush hour traffic, just to find a note posted on their window that they are closed on Mondays due to staffing. While I have sympathy for their staffing issues, I do NOT have sympathy for the disrespect this shows to their customers. Please post closing hours accordingly on your website, google, yelp, etc. I sincerely hope your food far exceeds your professionalism. read more

As we walked in, the host walked away and stood at the bar, appearing to be on the phone. He continued to look at us periodically as we waited roughly 5 minutes at the door. We finally made the decision to walk out, and as we walked out he started walking back to the host table. I don't think they wanted us in the Resteraunt. read more

Cool vibe. Delicious food! Awesome cocktails! Our bartender was great and took good care of us!
