    Wow! Who knew that in the corner of NW Arkansas there'd be a fish house that is outta this world??…read more Mom mentioned she watched "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives," and the Guy Fieri dropped in. On a whim she asked me to go with her from Leavenworth, Kansas and do a girls' Labor Day weekend. We were encouraged to make reservations, especially on the weekend, and we did. Mom had the grouper sandwich, which I tried a nibble of, and it was delicious! The fries were scrummy, too. I got a blackened fish taco on a corn tortilla & it was outstanding! Had a side of house made pineapple slaw--it was good. We started the meal by splitting the two Maryland crab cakes and aioli sauce. Probably THE BEST I've had in a land-locked city! We split a key lime pie in a mason jar for dessert. Tasty but a tad too sweet for my liking--not that I abstained from polishing off the last bite! lol We were near a speaker so it was a tad hard to hear the conversation, but mostly background noises were acceptable. If I'm ever in Bentonville again, I most definitely will come back.

    Ordered the Duner and Chefs choice. The Chef's choice ended up basically just being the Duner but…read more$5 more expensive and worse tasting. The presentation of the rolls was horrible--looked like it was made on an assembly line without any care for what made it onto each individual piece of the roll. The rolls also just weren't made well and many of the pieces fell apart after attempting to pick them up. Worst part of the whole thing was the embarrassing attempt to have lemon be apart of the rolls. The lemon slices were big and non-uniform--they looked like they belonged slotted on the rim of a glass of water not on a sushi roll. Instead of providing a nice hint of tartness, the lemon just overpowered any other flavor. Beyond that, they were just carelessly strewn across the top of the roll, so the coverage for individual pieces was laughable. Horrible experience. Up until this time, I would have been recommending Blu over Junto, but now I'm not even sure it ranks higher than Sushi House. Don't plan to be back anytime soon.

    Terrible experience in terms of low quality and overpriced food, 3.5 hour wait, smelly sweet…read morecandle, and dingy atmosphere. Furniture looks like it survived the 90's. It's a trash restaurant charging 5 star dining prices. They won't even plate a porterhouse steak onto two plates if you ask. Told us we needed to do it ourselves. She laughed at us and said 'he's not going to do that,' referring to the chef. All the other restaurants that serve a porterhouse do that standard because it's a massive steak that two people share, and they offer before you have to ask. Just snobby and weird attitude about certain things. They also serve a cheap version of Caymus wine, but have it priced like it's the premium version (my friend knows wine). 3.5 hours is too long to wait for a meal, especially on a weeknight when the restaurant is empty. They also didn't apologize, acted like this was completely normal, and said 'we didn't know you were in a hurry.' Really? Pay the same price and pick a legitimate high end restaurant like Sestina, Conifer, Junto, Ruth Chris, or Atlas. This place is a joke and I still get mad when I drive by. No idea how they stay in business except maybe for tourists who don't know how bad this place is until they've wasted their time and money. We need better restaurants in this area.

    Don't let the outside of the building fool you, or even when you walk in. The food you are about to…read moreexperience will be some of the best in NWA. Certainly the best steaks and top notch seafood is served here. Been here many times and never disappointed. The side dishes are as good as the main courses as well.. Maybe the best macaroni and cheese I have ever had.

    This is seriously the spot you go when you care more about what's on your plate than the fancy…read moreschmancy stuff.... rated based on food quality and value. AMBIANCE Simple and unpretentious with a lot of (you guessed it) fishing-related and coastal decor. There's a dining patio of sorts when you first enter with a fan and more lighting, but you can walk in further for more air-conditioned seating. We walked in one evening craving a no-frills solid seafood spot and we found it here. You walk in and there's a huge menu billboard and order at the counter, pay, and you get a buzzer and can find a table anywhere! SERVICE Efficient and straightforward...we ordered and within 10 minutes our buzzer rang and we picked up our food on a tray and brought it back. FOOD This is where it delivers! The seafood tastes fresh, seasoned well, and cooked without being overcomplicated. We ordered the grilled plate with rainbow trout that was served with beans, rice, and grilled zucchini and squash vegetables. Loved the grill marks and thought it was very simple, balanced, and cooked just right. We also tried the fried catfish fillet and shrimp with fries and hushpuppies, which came out hot and crispy without feeling greasy or overbreaded. Tasted great with the tartar sauce. We felt the portions were solid for the price and everything feels consistent. We'd heard great things about the key lime pie on here... and it absolutely lived up to it. The slice was generous for the price, and the flavor of the key lime pie filling delivered. It was bright, creamy, and just the right amount of tangy without being too much sweetness. And the crust? Exactly how it should be. You know the kind that crumbles apart...or turns into a rock-hard dense layer you fight through with your fork? Not this one! This one held together but still gave easily with each bite, so you actually get that perfect balance of filling and graham crust every time. I didn't expect to say this but goodness this is the $7.95 pie that gets it right....and if I could buy it as a birthday cake, I would! Definitely would come back to try any of the other seafood plates on the menu *and* more key lime pie! :)

    Great seafood , love the catfish and shrimp. Usually get great fresh oysters but this last time…read morethey were bad and had to send them back. Need to train there people what a good fresh oyster looks like and what not to serve. But thats the only bad experience we've had here over last several years. The grilled fish tacos are fantastic also.

    We've been here for 2-1/2 years, and keep driving by here thinking "we've got to check them out."…read moreWell, we finally did today, and we waited WAY too long. This place is excellent. My wife got a great happy hour margarita for $5, and I had to try the Mezcarita; Herradura tequila and Casamigos mezcal, with orange juice, Gran Gala and agave, and it was DELICIOUS! My wife got the ground beef chimichanga, and I had to try their chili relleno, with ground beef added, and their red sauce. It was the best chili relleno I've ever had! (The ground beef was added as a topping, rather than stuffed inside, but that's a very minor complaint. And it was still delicious.) The service was great, with José checking back with just the right frequency - not too often, so as to be an irritation. And the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. If you haven't tried this place yet, don't wait like we did. You won't be disappointed.

Her amazing smile was just as pleasant as her customer service skills. The customer service experience is the kind that makes you want to come back even if you weren't completely happy with the dish you chose at the time of your visit.

    Heard about the burgers here and had to give it a try…read more I biked over and found the trailer with a little lunch rush line, but it moved quickly. I ordered the burger and fries with a drink. I eat mine plain but they have quite the selection of burgers and fries/ring options. The drinks are in a fridge with normal selection of sodas and teas along with bottled water. The price seemed fair and I was able to use Apple Pay off my phone. I was given a beeper and found a table behind the trailer. I wish there was a little shade over the tables but nonetheless it was a pleasant day so no worries. My pager went off and I got my food freshly made and hot. The fries were good. They had a little batter to them and they were good portion size. The burger, however was a little disappointing. It seemed to be a patty premade almost frozen style. I wish they would make 1/2 pound burgers with fresh meat and hand make the patties but that's not the case. After eating lunch I decided I would not go back until they improve burger quality.

So in the interest of evaluating the hype, I ordered some via UberEats and it did not disappoint. First off, thanks to the Uber driver who got the burger and fries to my hotel while the food was still hot and the sodas were still cold. I was able to enjoy the juicy and flavorful King of the Monsters burger in all its 1/2 lb glory! The jalapeños were sautéed in just the right amount so that the heat was still there, but the flavor wasn't overwhelming. What I really loved was the balance of all the ingredients together, resulting in a taste of cream cheese, sautéed jalapeños, crispy onions, hot honey, peppered bacon, and Howdy Sauce in every bite. I also got the Pennywise Fries, which I was skeptical about but wanted to give a shot anyway. I was gobsmacked. Queso on fries can be a challenge to the novice, but the expertly cooked cheese was just the right consistency... not too thick and not too runny. I washed it all down with a couple diet dr. peppers and I went to sleep a happy man. I will DEFINITELY be back next time I'm in town.
