Powerhouse is a Fayetteville staple and they serve delicious seafood. The catfish, calamari, crawfish, and clams, and spinach artichoke dip are all fantastic. For the non-seafood eaters, the chicken breast done “Powerhouse way” is great, too. The etoufee is just okay…I had it as a side and there were huge chunks of bell pepper and that’s about it so there wasn’t too much flavor. The Alfredo as a side dish was very good, though. Getting a table took over an hour and so did getting our food.Parking: On-site free parking but the lot does fill up fast especially on busy nights. Then people begin to get inventive with where they park their vehicles. Nothing out of the ordinary, though.

Used to love going here. Now it's horrible ? food was bad drinks were worse. Tasted like soap or seltzer in them. Waitress forgot she was supposed to be waiting on us I guess. Not even busy and they couldn't bring our food out. My pasta was so dried up from sitting under a heat lamp. And the waitress never checked on us until she brought the check which was outrageous and incorrect. I even verified this morning on their website and we were overcharged. We won't be back.

Powerhouse Seafood and Grill in Fayetteville deserves a seafood standing ovation! ? I had an absolute blast and give them a solid 5-star review. The food was off the charts delicious—fresh seafood, perfectly cooked steaks, and flavor explosions in every bite. The staff were seafood superstars, serving up friendly vibes and making sure we had a fin-tastic time. The restaurant itself had a great vibe, making it the ultimate spot for a seafood feast. Powerhouse Seafood and Grill, you've won my taste buds over. Can't wait to come back for more! ??

Jeff, 5-19-23 5:10 pm we haven’t been here for 6-8 months - had 3 bad experiences- used to come 2 times month. Kayla did a great job- way better than previous waiters we have had- We had crab legs, lobster, escargot and lobster bisque. Everything was good -lobster wasn’t quite done. We will try it again next week- I’ll ask for well done lobster.Dwight

One of the best dinners I have had in NWA. MY WIFE loved her crab. And I had the best crab cake I have ever had. My seafood pasta was outstanding !!!

We had a good experience overall. Our server was friendly and attentive. My wife enjoyed the crab legs and I had the Mediterranean pasta which was great! The look and feel of the restaurant was very comfortable and informal.

Used to stop here when I was in college. At the time it had great food and drink options including their famous "Kilowatt". However the past couple of years stopping here the service has been mediocre, food was ok at best. They still offered their kilowatt drinks which was nice.

Wonderful experience all around!! I had oysters on half shell that were phenomenal. The fish of the day done Orleans style was good as well. The food is excellent, decor is unique and service was on point. Our server Christa, who was serving for the first time ever, did a fantastic job. Thank you for a great meal.

Very good food, excellent service.Loved the crab rolls and raspberry sauce they are paired with. The shrimp was bursting with flavor and a good portion size, the cornbread was tasty as well.Only thing that could make it better was bigger hush puppies since they got a little burnt.Will definitely be back!

I haven’t been here in years so I was hoping for a great dinner. The catfish was delicious but the other seafood was bland to worse. The hushpuppies were not cooked in the middle but burned on the outside. The crab cakes were not good. The other items we got were just ok- grilled chicken & fettuccine Alfredo, filet mignon and baked potato, lobster - all were just ok. Definitely not worth the price. We had to ask for items that were missing from our order several times. It just seemed a bit of a mess or maybe they had new staff. We would go again if we had to attend a birthday gathering etc but not by choice.
We went here on a Friday evening at approximately 7:00 p.m. There were few cars in the parking lot which should have been our first clue. We ordered the snow king crab legs and a steak filet. Our steak was ordered medium, but arrived rare. It was bacon wrapped which should have alerted us to the poor quality of the meat. When brought to the waitress's attention, she spoke to the manager who gave us an $8 discount, which was rather strange. The crab legs were good (although a little overcooked). The steamed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes were unimpressive. At least there was one good item - the cornbread. I do not recommend this restaurant.

My family, including 2 young kids, went on a busy Saturday night and enjoyed our experience. We only had about a 10 min wait and our server was very friendly and quick. I got catfish nuggets that I wasn't crazy about, but the grilled shrimp and veggies were delicious! My husband and my kids loved their food too- especially the ice cream sundaes!
Seth Mauseth
We had a large party. The service was good. What I had I didn't like that much (personal taste) but the people I was with really enjoyed what they had ordered. I would go there again. Great atmosphere and worth the money.

10/10 recommend! Rachel & Daniel are both amazing! The food is always so good! If I had one thing I could change or suggest... The butter they use is not good. Other than that everything is always amazing!!

Can't say enough about this great seafood establishment ' unless I add 'great steaks' to my review. The Angus Ribeye was excellent, likewise, our calamari was fresh and yummy for the appetizer and my "Orleans Fish of the Day" was MahiMahi, done to tender perfection with a wonderful topping of other seafood delicacies. Ending our meal with a generous slice of creamy cheesecake topped with mango sauce, boom! Our waitress, Sam, was a delight!
