Restaurants in Benton

“Love love LOVE this cute place! so far we have ventured twice and each time has been amazing. Heather was so nice to meet also, you can tell how much love she has put into each dish! So thankful to have this little piece of heaven in saline county and look forward to many more date nights ahead!!”

“Loved it, it was so amazing!”

“Food is consistently excellent!”

“Best Italian in Arkansas. Chef was trained by Chico who perfected his craft in Hot Springs before moving to Benton. Italian dishes are simple but wonderful, and the steaks are charred blisss best eaten with a fork only. Dishes may appear small are so rich and filling. Can't go wrong eating at Italy in Town.”

“Had a great time listening to a band and visiting with friends and meeting new folks!”

“These guys were a set up and cooking on the street, right in front of you at Third Thursday. The way “Street Food” was meant to be served ❤️ It was Fresh It was Delicious It was Authentic It was everything thing you want when you think of Street Food; especially Tacos 🌮 They’ve been around for a couple years now (but like us) they don’t have a marketing budget to shove signs, articles, social media coverage, local “awards” down your throat and they didn’t grow up with half the town. They rely solely on “word of mouth” and that isn’t easy in 2023 not even in a small town. Heads up to you tuff guys that say you want your hot sauce HOT, but you really don’t even know what that means. You probably haven’t had authentic (anything) in your entire life 🫣 It’s HOT 🥵! Perfectly spicy they way it’s meant too be ❤️ ….but you ain’t me! 😆 They gonna warn you, we done warned you so consider yourself warned. Don’t dare get on here complaining about to spicy to eat cause you dumped an entire container of hot on your plate before you tasted it…twice 😉 😂 So go see them and tell them to save us some 🌮”

“Your unisex restroom are nasty. Makes me wonder how clean the back of the store is kept!”

“For the first time we tried the chicken salad, and it was delicious. Love this place.”

“It was a great dinner and fast service!”

“At a time where finding a decent dining experience is rare, this one was excellent! It no wonder the place was packed on a Monday night. Great energy, attentive service and food that exceeded expectations. Steak was cooked perfectly albeit less tender than expected, Caesar salad was large, crisp and chilled. Wine was obviously fresh.”

“Service was amazing. Placed a Togo order. I was greeted at the door by MaCenzi. Great smile and she checked my order to make sure it was perfect. She made sure I had all my sides and if I had any drinks!”

“I was a little hesitant about having lunch with Zaxby’s because my last experience at the Hot Springs location was not good but this was a different location and I wanted chicken.

It was lunch time but only one person eating inside, I was worried but say go ahead and everything was great.

The chicken was hot and fresh and tasty, I tried the new hot sauce

The fries and toast were very good and the cold slaw fresh hit the spot and the cashier was friendly

Good Job Zaxby’s”

“On their website it says CURB SIDE PICKUP AVAILABLE. So, I recently had foot surgery and called to place my order and was told they wouldn’t bring it out to the car. ???. WOW. Thanks a LOT”

“Verona is our favored Italian restaurant for a tasty food, fast polite service and a true family atmosphere. We were never disappointed!”

“Courtney M. was our server and she was wonderful! Great recommendation on the crab cakes. They were busy, lunch time on a Saturday, but we were sat quickly, prompt service, and food was AMAZING. Price point is very reasonable considering they make all of it in-house (smoked meats, dips, etc).”

“The staff was super friendly and helpful. The chocolate chip cookies were awesome, not too rich, so you can finish it without having to come back later. The only bummer was the cereal cookie base was good but the fruity cereal on top was like eating stale cereal. Chewy not crunchy.”

“Went for my first time and OMG I have been missing out. I sampled several and they were all so good! I ended up getting the sweet watermelon and now it’s all I can think about! If you have not tried it yet… GO! You won’t regret it. The staff was so friendly and helpful and their tea is the best drink I have ever consumed!”

“Been over this way for 7 years and just tried today. The best tasting burger i've ever had. To think all this time ive wasted. Very friendly staff.”

“Even with pouring down rain, our experience was exceptional. The burgers and fries were excellent and our shakes were made-to-order delicious! We ate under the overhang at the picnic table and enjoyed every mintue of every crumb!”

“Amazing food and service !”

“We stopped in at Scoopy’s Ice Cream and it was such a treat! I had the chocolate peanut butter and banana, and my husband had the triple chocolate with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce. Both were delicious, but I especially loved the banana ice cream...it was so fresh and creamy. The best part is that she makes it fresh when you order, and you can definitely taste it! The flavors are rich, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is so cool with all the cute ice cream signs. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Benton!”

“Charming little coffee shop. Friendly service and delicious coffee!”

“Loblolly Creamery was such a fun and delicious addition to our wedding! Their ice cream truck was a huge hit with our guests—everyone loved it, and it was the perfect sweet treat to end the night. The flavors were incredible, and the quality was top-notch. The team was so friendly and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Having the truck there brought such a playful, unique touch to our reception, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose them. We are so grateful to Loblolly Creamery for being part of our big day—you helped make our wedding even more memorable and sweet!”

“Love me some Mama B’s. Carolyn is great. Kind and freindly service and they exceed my expectations every time I’m there. Great coffee and tea, and everything they’ve recommend has been delicious!”

“Bets pizza in town. Might cost a little more but the fresh ingredients shine !”

“I ate there recently and I must say the food and service was amazing. My server Mandi made sure my order was was fast and correct.look forward to coming more often.”

“Kayla C. did a five star job taking care of me and my family on January 27, 2026. She was attentive to our needs and provided super service. Thanks to her we will return again. The ticket number was 148. Thank you Kayla!!”

“They are a really great restaurant eat there most everyday and it’s generally a filling meal that last all day and has some of the best vegetables I’ve ever eaten from a takeout restaurant”

“Great food as always. Fat Larry’s and Meat Madness are awesome. Don’t forget cheesy meaty sticks!”

““I highly recommend this business.” “Their customer service is second to none.” “The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time.” “I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service.””

“Tonight we went to Lost Pizza in Benton for a family get together for my son’s birthday. We roughly had 20 or so people there! The food was amazing but I can’t express enough how amazing the service was by ALL the ladies! From the minute we walked in they made us feel welcomed! They checked on us regularly with a smile on their faces! We have ate here a couple times in the past but after tonight we will be coming more often! Thank you Lost Pizza!”

“Lady at the counter was very nice and helpful. The workers stayed busy during our time there, sweeping and restocking which lends to good management and ownership. The food was solid and a very fair price of $9.99 for the picture you see. Fancy Nancy, Egg Salad, and Spicy Pimento cheese. Will be back.”

“When I stepped foot in the door, I was greeted with smiley faces. They were professional and nice, taking my order and going over the menu options since it was my first time trying their sushi. I tried the Jailhouse Roll, and it was so delicious the taste was amazing! I'm really satisfied. ☺️ Thank you, Rock N Roll! 😍🔥😋 I will definitely be going back for more.”

“I occasionally go to our Benton WH, so I couldn’t sleep tonight and went there at 4:00 am. The waitress was very nice and the cook was great. Everything came to the table hot and as expected. Highly recommend!”

“Love Colton's! Service, food and atmosphere always great. I got potato soup, it did not taste homemade, maybe from a mix, not sure. I've never had that happen, so I am not complaining. I hope it's not a permanent change though!”

“This place is like the old diners in the 80's, amazing food, respectful and great service.”

“We hade a wonderful experience with our family! Our foodwas delicious and the lady that served us was above and beyond!!
Great place to enjoy a great meal with your love ones!!”

“Food an peoples are awesome!!”

“Exceptional breakfast, service was quick and the only thing wrong was the sausage. It was just a little bland. Other than that. Perfect breakfast. My buddy got steak and eggs, both cooked perfectly, and the biscuits were so good. My other friend got sunny side up, we all got things cooked differently and it was all great. He said he liked how the sunny side eggs busted in his mouth.”

“The tacos and quesadillas are incredible! 10/10 recommend !!”

“Best breakfast in town! Fried taters! Y’all check em’ out!!”

“Been here several times now. Bartenders are always friendly. Food is on point everytime. The atmosphere is fun. You can even sit outside and listen to live music. Love it here.”

“Food⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phone orders ⭐️ Cannot get them to answer the phone. Or it’s about the 5th time to call they answer. Parking lot ⭐️ I know yall cannot help the parking lot being a tight squeeze Staff friendliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s a good place to eat if you can get them to take your order before you get there. Its clean. They do go out of their way to make sure gluten free is not cross contaminated so good job on that. Cost ⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I stepped inside and met the owner(Edgar) behind the bar and he was the best guy ever. Food and drinks were amazing with quick service. The place was so clean and his specialty bar mugs and bowls were cool!! The atmosphere was great. My wife had the margaritas and street tacos and loved them. I had the la bamba plate and my lord it was delicious. We have traveled for years going to different types of Mexican cantina and this was by far one of the best. We will be back time and time again. Thank you Edgar and La bamba staff!”

“I came to Chepe’s last night to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday and brought 14 teens with me. Our waitress was amazing. She kept everything straight and really made my daughter feel special. The food was delicious and it was an amazing experience! Thank you!!”

“5 ⭐ Bartenders are 10/10 🔥 The karaoke is always fun, they are now hosting live music events and it's always nice and cold inside 😁😁😁 The owners are super nice too!”

“Absolutely recommend. Food was fresh and delicious. Our server, Amanda was a delight. A little pricey, but what isn't these days? Thank you for a wonderful meal.”

“Great food, great people. All around one of the best places to bring the family for a meal in This area.”

“My son & I went thru the drive thru at Freddys in Benton on April 1st, peanut butter shake had coconut in it, hawaiian delight shake was supposed to be no nuts, no whipped cream, well had whipped cream so they took that off but after leaving the rest. I discovered no macademia nuts but was choked full of pecans, tried to complain but got treated like it was just a game, well it could have been serious, but for now won't be going back!!!!!!”

“SA a little girl and has the gall to try and argue about it.”

“I have had no problems at any location. Have always been very nice and friendly. Love the coffee. Just glad I am a little away from one. Can’t hardly go by one without getting a coffee.”

“Very good food, ? natural atmosphere. First class attention,

Parking: Traala of Honduran, Salvadoran and Mexican food

Kid-friendliness: Whatever you ask for

Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor.”

“The tacos and quesadillas are incredible! 10/10 recommend !!”

“We just had a regular hamburger, onion rings, hamburger with bacon, and chocolate shake. This is no doubt like the burgers I grew up on at a local diner. Grilled buns, browned hamburger meat on griddle, not too thick or too thin, chopped red onions etc. , and a burger you can bite in to. Most places either have a thin tasteless piece of meat or way too thick. To me it was perfection 100% and so were the huge onion rings. Chocolate shake the best as well. If you want a burger from the past when burgers were cooked from fresh and perfectly browned, here is your stop. Thank you for a perfect retro burger meal.”

“We love going when they have live music. The best margaritas in town too”

“It was very unique, clean, and fun. The kids were so thrilled with the trains. The staff was excellent. 10/10 recommend!!”

“Okay we always get chicken express and we lovvvveee the people the service is amazing even in the drive Thur but today I figured I’d give them a review. But today after I got off work I went over to get my fiancé a $5 dollar box and after he got Thur eating it he takes a bite out of a this leg and the way it looks and the way it was just to under cooked or something but right after 10 minutes late he got sick. But after all the food and service is awesome keep doing what y’all are doing y’all are doing great.”

“Good food, but the name is a lie, there's also Chili's and that Italian Restaurant all in one kitchen. Plus, they also have fries. It's NOT just wings.”

“We love Taco Bueno. We just went through the drive through. So much better than Taco Bell, and we wish we had them in TN, so we always stop at one for dinner/ lunch if there's any on the way when we travel. The staff were really sweet to our kids and us.
.”

“I only order with the app, and go through the drive thru, but the quality and professionalism are really good at this location. Food is what you should expect for fast food burger chain.”

“Fantastic location. Speedy service. Friendly staff. I went here at least once a week over my lunch breaks for about 7 months while working in Benton. Never had any issues. Can’t recall a single time where they got my order wrong. The place was also very clean and the staff themselves seemed to be getting along well with another. Awesome location.”

“The food was Amazing!!! Portions were huge! So glad that it’s back to the way it used to be. Will be coming more often!”
