50 Best American Restaurants near Mabelvale

“Stopped in for lunch for the first time on a recommendation for the Chili Cheese Dog. Best choice I ever made. The smell of the BBQ had my mouth watering. The place was busy and packed, but the staff had everything under control and were very friendly. When my food arrived, the portions were amazing! I tucked away on that dog till I was stuffed, and I still have over 1/2 of it left. This was easily the best chili cheese dog I've ever had! Picked up some cookies to go, and even though I'm not a fan of pecans usually, the caramel pecan cookie was outstanding! I can't wait to go back and try more of the choices on the menu! Thank you for an amazing lunch!“

“Amazing meal as always! I asked my daughter where she wanted to go for a spring break lunch and she picked 42! Everytime we eat here, the experience is fantastic. Better than restaurants I've been at in Chicago and New York. They run a tight ship and it shows. Special shout out to our server, Lauren and Jason the MOD. Will definitely be back!“

“I normally don't eat out at fast food restaurants and I don't do a whole lot of reviews but I had to with this restaurant, I get a gourmet burger every now and then from our local cafes, but this was the best burger I have ever ate it was seasoned up perfectly it was so good, I highly recommended it...“

“Sami yeah was great! She made sure my beer was frozen cold and my NY strip was cooked just how I liked it !“

“Awesome food. Good place to dine .“

“Good food. Awesome server“

“One of the best Filets I have ever had. I didn’t even need a knife. The goat cheese was amazing as well! Highly recommend!“

“Nice people and great food!“

“Anybody that lives in Little Rock AR and enjoys fine dining must try the Brave New Restaurant on the river! Even if you are just passing through it's a must try... The food is delicious and the ambiance is beyond reproach! Ask for Ricardo... you will not be disappointed!“

“Eat My Catfish - Riverdale is my favorite place to eat. The food is always piping hot and delicious. Victoria is a great manager who wears many hats (waitress and cashier) and does them all with a smile.“

“We had a great time checking out Caverns & Forests! I brought my 5 kiddos which I was apprehensive about at first cause it didn’t seem like the “usual crowd,” but they were so kind and welcoming. There were games for all skill levels so my 3 & 5 year olds had games to play too. The snacks were delicious and fairly priced and the game selection was incredible!! The hubs and I definitely plan on coming back for date night as often as we can!“

“good down home cooking done rt yall keep up the awesome food“

“came with a large dinner party, loved every minute! I had the pretzel crusted pork tenderloin w/ green beans & mashed potatoes. it's been weeks and I still daydream about this dish! great restaurant with great staff.Kid-friendliness: several kids in our party, in carriers and highchairs as well. kids menu was simple and appropriate“

“Awkward service and above average food. Was placed right next to a door to the outside patio that people were constantly opening and was letting in bursts of cold air. Not a good place for a table. service was non attentive and we had to flag another waiter after sitting for 20 min waiting to order with only water. the steak and fries were excellent and well seasoned. Love the half bottle wine list.“

“The ladies here are like family. They take time out of their day to get to know you and the food is always on point. Every time I come in they know me my kids and my mom by name, know what we like to drink and most always have it ready after we sit down. They always hold a conversation with you. The ladies here are just truly amazing at what they do and are the perfect example of how someone should be working in the field they do.“

“Today was my and my husband’s first time in. The service was quick and the food was excellent!!! The staff was friendly and we liked how they checked frequently to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. Another thing that they do different is that they send someone table to table with complimentary ice cream samples. We were passing through on our way back to Dallas, Texas, and David’s only appears to be in Arkansas…. We would love to see them expand further out!!“

“BCW has a very simple but fun dining concept! Unique and delicious crafted cocktails, a large selection of gourmet style grilled cheese sandwiches, and then very well thought out charcuterie board options along with several other appetizers. Only been here twice but each time was amazing! The charcuterie board is a MUST and have had the roasted chicken and duck pastrami sandwiches. The DUCK PASTRAMI alone is worth visiting BreadCheeseWine for and is my absolute favorite! Staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is modern and inviting with lots of large windows, greenery, and a very cool bar area that sits beneath additional balcony seating. A fine gem and much needed addition to Main Street. Hope Little Rock overwhelms BCW with support and that they are here to stay!“

“Good food, nice atmosphere and ambiance. The service was good, but sometimes it may be slower if they are busy. I haven't been in a long time, but I would go back and recommend eating here if you are in the area. They may even have live music certain days of the week.“

“Everything is Awesome! Love the food, the service & atmosphere.“

“Love the soup and their great sandwiches“

“This isn't the place you think about when you want a nice relaxing meal. But it is the place you go to, for a great night out with friends. From Pool to Karaoke, it's always a fun night out. It's a staple for those of us that worked the Cantrell/Riverdale area. Lunches and happy hour in the late 90's. Great memories.“

“Great food with big portions!! Great place for adult fun!“

“Had a great club sandwich for lunch and it was so good we came back for pizza for dinner. The service at lunch was fantastic. The evening service was only so so. Not impressed with our server. The restaurant was not busy either. Never came back to check how our food was. Just came back to deliver the check. Such a different experience than we had at lunch. We had German potato salad with our sandwiches. Wasn’t overly impressed. Should have gone with fries. Love all the plate saucers.“

“So a friend suggested we go here because they have Karaoke on Saturday nights… it was a blast good singers and the food was also very good. The staff was great and the owner bought us a drink as a thank you for coming in… how cool is that…. It you want to go somewhere that feels friendly and you just want to chill with like minded people this place is awesome…. Plus the name is cool… lol be sure and buy a T-ShirtParking: The parking is limited but there is a large dirt lot next door… just watch your step“

“The food was awesome. Highly recommend the Bleu Monkey Shrimp. Taste was a great combination of flavor. Would purchase again. Yummy to the max.“

“Traditional Gyro was awesome and the Hummus Platter is a MUST!!! Bloody Mary hit the spot!“

“The catfish was good, very good. But I was so impressed with the thoughtful and intentional plating of this salad at Copper Grill. Beautiful, beefsteak tomatoes, perfectly sliced. Feta on a nice selection of mixed greens. Cucumber rounds. Mushrooms, which you rarely find on a green salad, and a champagne vinaigrette. I ordered this salad, like I usually do: as a nod to healthful eating. But this was an absolutely beautiful salad.“

“My Favorite Place In The World To Have Lunch Every Friday !!!!!“

“Food was great and beer was even better. Very clean and nice inside as well“

“I always have the smoked Turkey salad Sandwich. Because I no longer live in Little Rock this in always on my must have list when I come home. My daughter loves it and understands when I have family bring me a batch when they visit!“

“Food is ALWAYS excellent… and the service, too! Thanks, Holly, for taking good care of us today!“

“First time visitors! When we arrived we wasn't greeted so I automatically assumed everything about this place would be trash. I'm huge on customer service. But he apologized for that. He was very respectful. We ordered food came out on this train which the kids absolutely loved. The food was hot and very very good...as my kids said "dad this food slappin" ? ? #WeWillBeback“

“Lovely restaurant, beautiful atmosphere and wonderful cuisine.“

“I must say this is my favorite restaurant in Little Rock. My husband and I go here at least once a week for lunch and have consistently had wonderful service for years. The reuben is my usual order and it is the best in town, without hesitation. The burgers are also top notch. The service is always prompt and friendly and the vibes of the restaurant itself are very comfortable. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Favorite Mexican restaurant since 1998.“

“AT&T lunch provided by Scallion’s today! Best experience! Brandi, Chip and team were so amazing! Lunch was delicious and excellent service. Cookies are a must! 5 stars“

“Great burgers and fries, great atmosphere and family friendly.“

“Whenever my wife and I travel through Little Rock we stay at The Burgundy and dine at Table 28. The food and service is normally exceptional, except for our most recent visit. Our waiter, Andy, was superb and friendly. However, we were both disappointed with our dinner. We arrived on Friday, September 15th, over two hours prior to closing. While waiting we requested their usual bread and hummus. Andy apologized saying they were out of hummus and offered us toastettes with oil and cracked pepper. When it arrived there were only 4, and Andy again apologized saying that was the last they had. As my wife began to order, Andy again apologized and said they were out of ALL salads! We ordered the Quail Lollies which were delicious. However, my Chicken Breast was overcooked and very dry. The restaurant was not very busy. Perhaps there had been a large event prior to our arrival. We were both disappointed with our dinner and the $158.00 we spent for it. But we’ll give Table 28 another chance on our next visit.“

“Enjoyed the food and dessert. Chicken breast was small but I didn’t mind as it was late and didn’t want a large meal before sleep.“

“I love Cheers with all my heart. I moved to Dallas a decade ago and I try to visit whenever I’m in town. Cheers holds a special place in my heart. It’s often hard for me to visit and not get emotional ( sometimes I can’t even go inside but I always pass by) thank you to the entire family and staff of Cheers. I visited in 4.20.2024 ( palindrome date) and Tiffany attended to me. ( such family I can’t call anyone a server) Tiffany made me a nice drink and reminded me how much she missed my brother. The waterworks started and I left sooner that I wanted to. I love Cheers. You can feel the warming of the atmosphere and the food is also delicious. Thank you once again and hopefully my best visit will be longer than the last time. Cheers! ?“

“Bobby's has had the best southern cafeteria country style food since opening. The service is always great. Once you've been to Bobby's for lunch a few times and seen how consistently packed the house his, you'll understand why the atmosphere is what it is. We're all here to sit next to folks from the area and eat great tasting food! Enjoy!Going to Bobby's is always a good decision!“

“I highly recommend dining at the Park Cafe! They offer not a high brow menu, but definitely an artsy take on a variety of sandwiches, salads, and entrees (and more than a few were tempting). They also offer a varied bar selection. Reservations can be made, but we didn't have one. Only seating at the bar was available, so we chose to sit there and actually that provided a delightful experience! Connor, the bartender, filled our glasses, took our order, and generally served us throughout our lunch. He was attentive just the right amount, even as he was making drinks for other patrons. We appreciated his personable comments, as well.We enjoyed our lunch as much as we did Connor's service and attention.Parking: EasyWheelchair accessibility: Everything is accessible!“

“Great Vibes,Food and Drinks“

“A local favorite. Known for burgers, and the shakes are awesome. 50s ice cream shop vibe. Very kid friendly, adult beverages available. Love this place!“

“the entire place, people, and service“

“Had a Birthday gift certificate from YaYa’s and treated myself to a wonderfully delicious meal. Hannah was my waitress and she was so sweet and attentive and gave me outstanding service. Hope she’s there the next time I come in. Thanks for a wonderful birthday dinner.“

“Ordered a pastrami sandwich and a coffee. The sandwich was very good. The type of sandwich, if I lived nearby, would be a weekly treat. Coffee was fresh. Their bakery is in the back, and I couldn't resist getting a baguette. A little chewy and very soft on the inside, so good. Personally, I prefer my bread to be crispy with a little char. Don't get me wrong, I would still gladly grab another baguette from here. Nice little place. Very friendly and helpful staff. If I lived nearby, I would be a regular.“

“Good cajun shrimp and avocado salad. Good spicy on the shrimp but not that painful unpleasantly hot. Nice patio. Only tiny problem is it seems that asking for dressing in side means you buy an extra dressing vs just getting it on the side. Maybe I ordered incorrectly. Nice staff. The way they have fresh large wedges if lemon was really nice. I like lemon in my Diet Dr Pepper! The lemony salad dressing is very good.“

“Super cute place with good food. I get the naked tenders with multiple sauces and my kiddo the normal chicken tenders. The fries are seasoned well and crispy. My husband had the queso burger and said it was good but not like omg that was amazing. It’s our 2nd time here on our way to Michigan so we will definitely be back.“

“Just moved here from Texas and I must say best wings I’ve had here! Service was great the ladies were nice. Didn’t take long for my food and yes it was hot and fresh. Almost gave up hope after going to chicken king but glade I found a clean and nice restaurant to have “
