The overall food was good, but not great. They offer a lot for the price, and you get it. Most all is catfish breaded and fried.

Favorite Dish: The 8 piece catfish was nearly tooo much for me. It had those 8 pieces. hush puppies and fires. A lot of fried food and a bit overdone form me to handle. Price was $10.95. A 5 piece catfish is $5.9. Cold slaw is a treat

Usually, I like to experiment and try the non-chain restaurants when on a roadtrip. Sometimes though, I like to know what to expect and I know what to expect from Denny's. I like both their Tilapia dishes and they are pretty consistant in their prep. Besides this one had a nice unique look and it was right next door to the hotel. Service was good.

Favorite Dish: Tilapia Ranchero, because it has a great taste.

This is a place that was built in 1984 and has not changed. The clientele has over the years. It ws local rural people, then bikers, then rough crowd and hip hop, then now trying to get back to Italian and local flavor. This may work after many add ons to the building and false starts.
Tony CAtroppa needs a break; supposedly had financial problems a couple of times, and had other restaurants, but now closed.

Favorite Dish: We had a pizza that was okay-the rest is medicore at best. They have an "upscale" area for find evening dining. I do not see this to be a success given the area location in rural country

Well this is another Southern ritual where they have been chomping down on the tasty morsel sort of manna from heaven for 60 years or so -- Krispy Kreme. Hot right out of the doughnut cooking line really sweet I mean really sweet donuts. When the red light is on when you drive by they are coming out hot. Walk in and they hand you one for free I don't know how they make Money I thank them and munch my donut and leave.

Favorite Dish: the hot right out of grease "original glazed doughnut.

If you visit this old standby café in the old downtown you will find it has awesome burgers, fries and milkshakes all made by hand with chuck stake that is ground on site. All with a very nice view of the old courthouse and the square with the fountain in the middle across the street.

Favorite Dish: The hamburger

Visiting the Walton 5&10 is like taking a trip back in time! Complete the journey by walking next-door to the Station Cafe' -- a 1960's style diner located on the square in downtown Bentonville. The sign in the window says, "best steakburgers in Arkansas" and they're not kidding! The atmosphere is down-home with vintage license plates decorating the wooden walls. But the real reason people come to the station cafe is the food. Burgers are cripsy and moist -- and the french fries are the best i've ever tried. If you're headed to the Wal-Mart visitor's center... this is a must-stop!

Favorite Dish: the "special" -- Burger, fries and a shake. It's like taking a trip back in time!

It has ice cream, sundaes, food , groceries, and a variety of other goods.

Favorite Dish: The double dip ice cream is basic and at $2, price not too bad.
