    Reuben aka Brewben
    Libby P.

    The staff was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in for lunch. The restaurant is charming and has such a welcoming atmosphere. We all ordered different sandwiches, and every one of them was delicious. My Reuben was absolutely fantastic--one of the best I've had

    Given a warm friendly welcome to start a great visit. Interesting food choices that all hit the mark. Service was fast and attentive.

    Turkey Sandwich, Brussel Sprout Side
    Anissa A.

    Made it back in recently. A visit many years ago had food so "meh" that my husband called it "that tator tot place" after. Not a compliment. This time I got their smoked & fried turkey sandwich with a side of brussels and both were really good. Probably the best brussel sprouts at any local joint - I think the vinaigrette and little sweet peppers tame the natural funk enough to make them crave-able. Great flavors in the sandwich too. Of course, I had a flight or beer, so half the sandwich and a few sprouts went back home. Hubby polished it off with compliments, so no longer the "tator tot" place. Been in twice more since. Service at the bar has been excellent 2x and ok the third. The beer selection is great, even including some AR beers outside of NWA that I had not heard of. Beertenders are knowledgeable about the pours. Only notable downside is the price points. I know everything is high, but $11 for an 8 oz pour of a higher ABV beer is out of whack. I don't expect airport prices at a local joint. Happy Hour is 20% off, bringing our 2 pours to "only" $17.60. I don't know how you would know the price of any beer before ordering, so buyer beware.

    They split the meal for us with a great sweet welcome - Ozark style (kindness without even having ti ask)!

    Fantastic food, delicious, exactly as expected. Me and my hubby split the Ruben with tot's and ordered a side of Brussel sprouts (which they are famous for... and now we know why! Fantastic!). Foodies come to Arkansas and get your grub on!

    Cold IPA!

    2nd time back, when in town for a baseball tourney! Awesome again! Had to throw up a few more pics! Love this place!!!

    Impressive beer list!

    I found Uptown on Yelp and was super stoked to try it. This seemed to be a cool place when we first walked in. The restaurant wasn't too loud with a comfortable vibe, an impressive tap list and a decent menu. The server was friendly but not very visible. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived with only the booths taken and one other table. Sadly, it took OVER an hour to get our food and when we did, the Mac n cheese was cold. Like, super duper cold. By that time, several large tables were seated AND served...Since our server was nowhere to be seen we couldn't send it back - and after sitting over an hour while stopping by on a long road trip, my husband ate it anyway. The Brewban was a good Reuben. The kraut was tasty and the portion enough to share. My son got the Philly Cheesesteak and tots and he ate it all. The timing of the food (we were over an hour late getting to our destination), inattentive server, and the skillet mac contributed to the rating. I'd love to give them another try if we lived in the area, but wouldn't risk it while on the road. The server comped the skillet Mac without being asked, but honestly we just wanted hot food served hot.

    Great service. Huge beer menu loaded with local options. Excellent food. Sub out for brussel sprouts. No notes.

    I'm new to the area, thought I would check out a few places. Uptown Kitchen is one of them. I sat at the bar and was shocked to see so many beers on tap! I had no idea what to order. Josh, my bartender suggested that I try the "flight" of beer! I got to pick five beers so, I picked ones I'd never had before. I ended up adding a cider to my flight. I got totally hooked on the Black Apple, Hibiscus!! - I will for sure go checkout the brewery!! - I'm a vegetarian, so I ordered the Mushroom Impossible Burger w/ fries. It was freaking great! I went back two days later and ordered it again. lol!! Not even joking! So good! I found my new place to hang out!

    Skillet Mac with bacon
    Kamryn J.

    I come here for lunch with my friends occasionally and it's always great! They have a great selection of appetizers that are perfect to order a few and share. I tried their skillet Mac the last time and it was yummy! Great beer and wine selection and great service!

    The food was really good. My husband liked his beer. We sat on the patio because it was a nice day and we had our dog.

We made our way to the bar and ordered the "Big Ass Pretzel " , a dozen wings with buffalo sauce and the chicken tender basket. The wings were not seared and that kinda made them not great. The pretzel was good with a cheese sauce. The chicken tender basket was ok. The fries were wedge cut and were undercooked. The drinks we got were good and the local beers were tasty. The three stars is just for the food and we will try this place again.
