“Good service and attitude Breanna shock give very good attention and attitude”
“Visited for the first time last week for a little happy hour moment after work. There wasn’t a sign or anyone handling greetings / seating so it was a little unclear if you were to seat yourself or wait.
My server was friendly and provided great service!
I really enjoyed their happy hour menu (food & drinks). Oyster service is a great price !”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Great beers and friendly bartender was outstanding. The ESB was spot on. Great selection. Will be back on our next trip to NWA!”
“The food was excellent here and we had no complaints with the service. It’s a small space so if there are a lot of people it could get too loud to have a conversation.
Looking forward to going back!”
“I would like to personally thank you all for the wonderful dining experience! The atmosphere and service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, inviting, and attentive. A perfect example of what customer service should be. The meal was beautiful and "spot on". While I was offered salt and/or pepper, there was no need, as it was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I definitely will be a repeat customer and highly recommend it to friends and family.. Awesome everything! Y'all ROCK and set the bar on a wonderful dining experience. Keep up the great work and thank you.”

“To experience a truly delightful culinary experience and to celebrate special occasion, my go to is Atlas. The dishes are very thoughtfully prepared, presented and obviously delicious with fresh and unique ingredients and perfect portion sizes. You can tell that the chefs put their heart and soul into each dish and wine pairing. While the food is extraordinary and the atmosphere is posh, the service staff are gracefully humble and not at all pretentious. Atlas, thank you for making great memories and giving me occasions to look forward to with your lively menu.”
“I was greeted with a smile and genuine desire to answer any of my questions. There were only 2 spaces open in the 15min parking area and all the permanent parking was taken. For good reason! The inside of the shop was full, yet inviting. The head barista talked coffee with me and shared the “community over competition” focus that they have. That means they don’t serve local roaster coffees, opting to share out of town roasters with their client base and telling them to go drink local coffees at the local shops if they want local. They currently buy from roasters in North Carolina, Washington, and Kansas City. I couldn’t wait to try my half-sweet cardamom honey latte before snapping a pic. Hence the skewed latte art! Go check them out!! It was outstanding.”
“Service was fast, and friendly. Every employee we encountered on the way out thanked us for coming in. By FAR the best customer service I’ve encountered in a restaurant in years. And the food was great as well! All of the servers kept our glasses and fixin’s full. We thanked our waitress and told her what a good job she did. She told us thank you and that she’s still in training! They are doing something right here! Love love love”
“Birthday dinner with my chulo babes at Dune El Mestizo was a dream! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. We celebrated, laughed, and made beautiful memories. What a perfect night!”

“stopped in with my kids before hitting Ozark Music Hall. The staff were prompt, courteous, and attentive to our needs. The beer is exceptional and the food matches the quality. very chill and relaxing. Love the Buffalo wings. The burgers and sandwiches were great. I recommend you check it out.”
“We had brunch today at Mockingbird Kitchen. Everything was wonderful. There was no wait time and we arrived at 11:00. The place was full but we got right in. I had the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles with a side of cheese grits. We both agreed they were the best cheese grits we had ever eaten. Everything we ate was superb. The waiter was very attentive. We will definitely be back.”
“First of all I've given patronage to this establishment for over 30 years. I've given this place more business than they ever deserved. My last visit from Fayetteville Arkansas was definitely my last! My family was treated terribly. I'm a veteran so I thought maybe I'll go out veterans day and have a good meal. I never usually go out or participate and I didn't order anything off the free menu. I ordered the lobster, salmon and shrimp trio. All of the food was completely undercooked and the fish was nearly inevitable and had a strange flavor. I complained. I've had perfect salmon at this restaurant. So I decided to replace it with the perfectly grilled fish. Only problem is they just made another piece of the same disgusting fish and served me that. She never came back to see if I was happy or not.They literally just didn't care. The quality of the food was beyond sub par. I came home and the next morning I woke up violently ill. This was the only meal I had that day. My daughter also became very ill with the symptoms of food poisoning. Upon contacting the restaurant,the arrogant, POS, jerk that answered the phone as a "team manager" over the weekend Commenced to tell my wife she was a liar. That no way we got food poisoning but promised her a refund after pretending to look up our ticket and table. They never issued any refund so he lied about that too. I'm really at the point where you need to remove your head from your as*. Don't bother contacting me about this. Nothing you could do could possibly fix this. I wouldn't even take a lifetime of free food at your establishment. You just suck.”
“What a surprise!!! Great food. Wonderful service!! Wife had the fish tacos and said it was the best she’s ever had. Background music is at just the right volume. I would definitely come back!! Parking is a challenge. If the lot behind the restaurant is full you’ll need to find the overflow parking. As you pass the place on the side you’ll see a bunch of signs that boldly say NO FEED AND FOLLY PARKING!! When you get to the bottom of the hill turn left and you’ll find the extra parking. They do need to do some lot repairs here. It’s in pretty bad shape.”
“Wow what a surprise in Goshen!! BBB weekend we stopped in on our drive to War Eagle. Plenty of parking, food was incredible, service was friendly. I loved that I could get a 1/2 order of nachos since I have a smaller appetite than the guys I ride with. My only recommendation is to bring extra napkins to the table because between food and margaritas, one flimsy napkin doesn’t do the job. Good thing it was finger licking good!”
“Reminds me of an old fashioned European pub style watering hole. Love the ambiance. Friendly Staff. A place to get in from the cold rainy soupy weather and warm up with the beverage of your choice. A fireplace would be the only thing I would add. 😊”
“Great food and amazing service. We were checked in by several employees. We will be back for sure!”

“This was my first Whataburger experience and I enjoyed it. The burger was good and so were the fries. The only thing I wish was bigger fries or cheaper prices it's potatoes ffs but that's everywhere now so you can't really blame them I guess. Prices in general are on the higher end for fast food but like I said it's pretty good. If you can get some app deals, definitely go.”
“Caleb is amazing! The past few times I’ve come to this location he’s been working at the drive through, he has fantastic customer service skills and is always so kind. He made sure that I had fresh fries and sandwiches today, which I thought was very generous! 10/10 employee”
“I just went through the drive through and was reminded of why I love Taco Bell so much, it truly made my night how fun and sweet they were, not to mention how fast they got my order done, I hope they keep up the fun atmosphere and playful conversations. Love you all ❤”
“First time dining here and absolutely loved it. The wait for the food was long (due to the football crowd) but when the food came, it was well worth the wait. The presentation was great and the food was very flavorful. Would highly recommend to everyone.”
“Excellent Service, Fresh Food, beautifully prepared & delicious! Highly recommend this Eatery.”

“I’m from the bay area ca where Asian food is top tier so it’s been a struggle finding great Thai food here but this is just like home. Original A Taste of Thai really disappointed me but this was complete redemption, like genuinely my new favorite place. The location makes the parking super easy which is awesome for someone like me who can’t drive well. The servers were all so nice and they filled up our water so often which we were so grateful for. #needthat after ordering the level 3 spicy. I really appreciated how they did have genuine spicy food though- as someone who handles spice even I thought 3 was pretty spicy. But other Thai places I went go way too light with spice, so I respect them for that LOL. The chicken pad Thai was to die for, only like $13.35 which as a college student I appreciated. The texture of the noodles were amazing. The panang dumplings had such a good flavor, only feedback is that they should fold them tighter because they do fall apart when you stick a fork into them. Maybe better with chopsticks? But the Thai rolls were good too, peanut sauce was awesome. Not the most amazing Thai rolls in the world but good. I wish they brought a bill instead of the card reader to the table though because that was hella awkward especially since the dude was watching me tip. But overall the people working were all so nice and the atmosphere was great. By far the BEST Thai food I’ve had in Fayetteville so far and will be coming back 🙏🏻”
“Every year we plan a vacation and one priority is finding dog friendly places. This year we enjoyed Roaring river state park and drove an hour to the Good Dog cafe! You guys definitely didn’t disappoint! You were absolutely amazing with our girls and making our visit enjoyable! We loved visiting with new friends, two legged and four legged. The drinks were delicious as well. We would definitely recommend your darling cafe to all our furry friends. Thank you!”
“Best burgers I’ve ever had!! I love Detras! I definitely recommend it 😍”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The food was good and fresh well cooked and prepared. The young man at the register was very nice, friendly and helpful. Now the gentleman took my order and made my food was very rude and pushy I wish he had a name tag on he was older with a hair piece on or a not well blended dye job. He gave me the wrong greens and grains but I like the one's I got but it wasn't the one I asked for. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend and return to this Cava”
“We really enjoyed our visit! The food was great and our waitress,Joslyn, was the absolute most precious thing! Her food recommendations were spot on! She made our dining experience with Black Bear Diner even better! I know her mom is proud of her, this mama sure is! Thank you, Joslyn, for sharing your sweet caring heart and those adorable double dimples! -Niki and Jared”
“Just driving through & stopped here just to get a quick bite but was totally in awe of the quality , portions, friendliness & cleanliness here. Super chill place with the freshest ingredients and the BREAD I can go on and on. We ordered the French dip, the Rueben, the tomato salad with fries and home made chips everything was perfect!”
“I knew I had to try y’all out over the stink being made today over your uniforms. So glad I did! My Frappuccino was on point and I loved the fuss that was made over my fur baby. It was much needed after finding out how big her tumor really is. You won this queen with your amazing shop today!”
“Taziki's is one of our favorites! Always good food and the staff are so friendly!! We typically have the grilled beef or salmon feast, with roasted potatoes and the Greek salad. The salmon is always cooked perfectly with a nice searing on the outside without losing moisture on the inside. So good!”

“Sweet dear baby Jesus, this food was AMAZING 👏 😋. The customer service was on point. My meal Catfish Steaks, sweet potato fries and potato salad that taste like somebody's momma put all her love in it. Definitely coming back for Granny's pound cake and some fried pies. 😋 😁😁😁”
“Outstanding food! Driving up we were confused why people parked in the drive through line... then ultimately we drove around and saw a Drive Through closed sign in the window under the awning. Walking in, it was tough to find where to go for To-Go but i found it near the drive through line window inside. Very nice worker accepted my cash, but he looked like he had to find someone who knew how to make change.
Everything else was amazing, these are just experiences that could easily be improved upon by ownership. The food is OUTSTANDING and we will be back again! Highly recommended”
“love the catfish Cecile..absolutely amazing!! and definitely the best fried green tomatos anywhere!! if you haven't been there....get there! you won't be disappointed!!”
“The Filet was perfectly grilled. The crab bisque was delicious. The dropped biscuits were an excellent dessert with a little honey. The decor was fun to look at while waiting on food Razorback memorabilia everywhere! Our waitress was very attentive and full of personality. I can’t wait to go back.”
Cheap Eats
“I needed a 20 taco platter for a small party I was going to and they were more than happy to help me out and for a wonderful price! I just called 30 minutes in advance to place the order, then when I got there to pick it up the owner helped carry it out to my car. And not one taco was left at the party! It was perfect! I told everyone this is the place they must go to!”
“This Japanese restaurant excels in fresh ingredients, exquisite flavors, and top-notch service. Every dish, from sushi to hot plates, is expertly crafted and beautifully presented. A must-visit for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. Ask for Alisha as your server. She will exceed all your expectations.”
“The food is amazing and traditional! Such a cute little family run market”
“Everything on the menu I have tried has been amazing. Highly recommend the pizzas and flatbreads, especially the jalapeno chicken pizza with honey. The charcuterie board could use some extras just because it was a little small for the price, feeds maybe 2, but still good. Everything handmade.”
“I want to commend the Member Services associates that are working this afternoon at Club 8209. I was exchanging an item when another customer (who repeatedly shouted that he is a 23 year associate) started making a scene regarding needing to buy gas at the station out front without a membership. He was unruly and continued to make a commotion. Both of the club associates were a bit rattled but handled the situation with kindness and professionalism beyond their ages. Please let them both know that their calm demeanor in the face of an out of control person was impressive and what a great job they do!”
“The vibes were good and the blackberry blonde was good too. Pizza left a bit to be desired - just wasn't special in anyway. The server was so friendly and nice though!”
“I have ordered twice now to have food delivered and both times the order was messed up. First they forgot the sandwich sauce and the 2nd time they forgot the main item the pizza. The first time I let it go and this time I called to try and get the pizza delivered. I spoke with GM Joseph and all he did was blame it on he delivery service. I PAID YOU for my order not the delivery service and you are responsible for making sure everything is in my order. You try to act like you're doing me a favor by making a fresh pizza. Sir there is no pizza you are just now making it. At the very least you should've reimbursed me for the pizza. If I pay you for my food YOU are RESPONSIBLE to make sure I get my food and that all of the order is picked up. After reading all of the comments I should've known that you have a problem with customer service. I pray people read this and stop coming to your restaurant until it is under better management. TAKE RESPONSIBLTY AND STOP BLAMING A DELIVERY SERVICE.”
“10/10 🤘🤘🤘. Amazing service! Perfect cocktails and the best sushi and the filet was perfect!!!”
“JJ’s Live is the absolute BEST venue for entertainment in Fayetteville for a few reasons. A) Top notch customer service- Caitlyn and Zoe are genuinely amazing in ensuring fans are happy and satisfied. B))The building is open and spacious and has a RAD vibe to it- you can see the artist(s) no matter where you sit/stand- you don’t have to view them from a giant screen. C) The venue has an intimate feel to it- you almost feel up close and personal to artists because though it’s a spacious building, there’s not thousands of people to wade through. D) They do a great job bringing in music entertainment and they have now began bringing in comedic entertainment! E) It’s in our back yard! Love the location! F) The outside area is nice because you can sit and relax outside and visit with folks and have a beverage or a smoke comfortably- before the show starts or during the show if you need to step out for a bit. I could honestly carry on through the alphabet if I wanted, but these are the top reasons I will continue to choose JJ’s Live for entertainment over other close by venues.”
“They were super busy so food was a little slow! But oh my everything was delicious and worth the wait and the staff was great and always checking in with us keeping us informed! We will definitely be back . Thanks so much for our wonderful anniversary dinner”
“Went for a birthday brunch and it was fantastic! Everyone was friendly, service was quick, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the Sausage Gravy Benedict and am ready to go back for more! I also had an orange vanilla ice cream with shortbread dessert that was excellent. All fresh and homemade! Highly recommend!”
“BEST HIBACHI IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS!!! ♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️👑 LET’S GO CHIEFS ^S^”
“Sam did a wonderful job at making sure I had everything I needed with no problem. The food was good as well!”

“On sept 26, 2025, my girlfriend and I took a little road trip due to a special occasion, we was wanting something special to stop and eat somewhere. I had a another restaurant picked up, but we ended up passing it going to Fayetteville, so we just kept on driving and we ended up googling Italian restaurants, noodles Italian kitchen popped up, and I am so glad that we ended up stopping and having lunch there because I highly recommend five stars hands-down, and some of the best Italian food that I’ve ever eaten we were both very pleased 100% and driving from Southeastern, Oklahoma.”
“I was very disappointed this trip . Food quality wasn't as good as the first visit a year ago.
Waiter visited our table twice and went to some tables multiple times at the end when given the check he poured on the charm . Lucky I tipped anything.
Waited a hot minute for service to have kitchen staff come out to tell me they only had 2 of the three tamales on one order and the other tamales were just over done.
I would have recommended this place to everyone after the first visit .
After this visit that I road 50 miles out of my way to have ,I won't return , not even if they offered for free. Poor service poor food quality and tamales seemed smaller. With the price staying the same.”

“Delicious Barbecue. This place has an awesome owner who I’ve seen on site every visit, he very knowledgeable and friendly. Service has always been top notch. Their prices are fair and portions are large. Their sausages are best in town! The gos will take you to FAC but the entrance to the bbq is around back inside the tennis dome/bubble. They have free shuffleboard and foosball. Overall this place has great bbq and entertainment for the family :)”
“Salley’s hospitality was superb. She made sure us little old ladies from Little Rock were taken care of on a Sunday evening. Even gave us a bottle of hotsauce to take on the road(muah!). Her collards, pinto beans, hamburger steak and baked chicken reminded me of being back home in South Alabama 45 miles from the Stateline Mississippi! Chefs kiss and hats off to you ma’am. The food was delicious and the cornbread was ooooo wee fluffy and so good.”
“If you find yourself in Fayetteville craving some real Texas-style barbecue, Rudy’s “Country Store” & Bar-B-Q is well worth the stop. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warm aroma of oak-smoked goodness and a line of staff who seem genuinely pleased to welcome you. It’s got that easygoing “come on in, pull up a stool” vibe and the kind of hospitality that makes a casual meal feel like a special treat.
Let’s talk brisket, because yes, I had it, and yes, it was perfect. The cut was beautifully smoked over oak, with a dark crust that held an excellent bark, and the meat inside was tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. It’s the kind of brisket that makes you grin before you even reach for the sauce (though the sauce is good, too). Multiple reviews of the Fayetteville location already mention that the “moist brisket had a good bark and was very tender.” I couldn't agree more!
The atmosphere at Rudy’s keeps things light and fun, no frills, just good food, friendly folks, and plenty of room for conversation (or BBQ-sauce–smeared thumbs). The staff deserve a shout-out: from the counter folks offering samples of brisket to servers checking in with genuine smiles, the kindness factor is high. One reviewer noted that at their first visit the staff “all were friendly and helpful” and eager to make things right. And again I am in agreement!
For the kids: Why do pirates love barbecues?
Because grill marks the spot for treasure!
On the menu side, alongside that blissful brisket, you’ll find plenty of classic sides—new potatoes, beans, slaw—and plenty of bread to soak up the drippings and sauce. The setting is casual, the pace relaxed, and the flavor memorable.
In short: Rudy’s in Fayetteville earns its keep as a go-to spot for hearty barbecue, warm service, and good vibes all served up with a wink. It’s a stop I’d happily make again, and one I’d recommend to anyone looking for comfort, smoke, and a genuine barbecue experience.”
