16 Best American Restaurants in Benton

“From the minute we walked thru the door, to the time we walked out, the experience at Rober was amazing. The staff greeted my husband and I as we walked in, we quickly got sat in our reserved booth and the waiter was very kind and attentive. The food was FANTASTIC, the cocktails were delicious and the environment was beautiful. We were celebrating my husbands birthday, and when we got to our booth, there was a birthday card signed by the staff! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Great service. Food was as expected of an old-school diner; good food and good prices. Terrific experience all around with seating indoors or out.“

“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“

“I am new to Arkansas and I love this restaurant. I have gone several times this summer. It has been great service and fantastic food. The hamburger is perfect. It reminds me of the burger at Chili’s but waaaaayyyyy better!! I love the onions chopped up with lettuce on my burger. The fries are always freshly cooked. And don’t forget to get yourself a butterscotch milkshake. Today I went and to my surprise, they have my favorite type of dessert, bread pudding. 👏🏼✨🤍 it was delicious!!“

“We were looking for a fish supper when travelling home on the M3 and were nearly put off by the bad reviews. Although the staff were not very cheery, our fish and chips were fine, and good value for money. A convenient place to stop as there is parking outside and it is not too big a diversion from the M3“

“All I can say is "whew Lordy!" well, I can say a little more.. Lol. Finally got to try this place after visiting one of their other restaurants (Baja) several times. This is a great place to sit and visit with friends or have a beer at the bar. I had the Bacon Cheddar BBQ burger with a side of Sweet Potato tots.. It was worth the extra 2 dollars for the tots over the chips that come with the burger. The tots were a little salty but the sweetness of the sweet potato matched very well. I think I had the Happy Camper sauce and that stuff is the bomb-diggity! OK, the burger was super flavorful since the meat is a blend on Short Rib, Chuck and Brisket blend. It was pretty dang awesome... Then, add cheddar, Bacon and BBQ! The wait staff were very attentive and provided a great experience. The people have it down for sure!“

“My family and I just recently visited. The food was fantastic, and our server, Katelyn, was phenomenal. She was so sweet to our kids.

Kid-friendliness: My son is 5. He loves the peanuts at the table, and our server made him feel like the most important little boy in the room!“

“It was a great dinner and fast service!“

“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!“

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

“It was such a wonderful time! We went last Sunday, Ive never had service so great! Especially from the purple haired manager, she was outstanding. A good sight to look at too, she's got a pretty face and a nice rack but then she turns around and you get to see her mighty nice rear! Made my womanly heart flutter! Will come again!“

“I am a former employee of 16 years that can't work because of cancer. I can tell you that Dan never compromises on quality products and every plate made is held to a standard of uncompromising perfection or as close as possible!“

“Rib Crib is my new most favorite BBQ place of Any state. Located in Benton, AK on the Eastbound side of I-30 you might miss it but it’s worth backtracking to get yourself Here- where the giant St Louis rib plate has off the bone tenderness via a rub or a sticky Okie sauce.

The table choices of extra BBQ for slathering are a mild Okie barbecue sauce, a truly medium heat but Excellent spicy barbecue sauce, and a hard to beat Carolina vinegary mustard sauce you won’t find much like it for the next 400 miles.

If you see the Buck-ee’s signs suggesting you “Hold It” for 530 miles and then the signs later for holding it for just another 480 miles or so you are ready to start mapping your way to the Rib Crib.

Baby back ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, sides aplenty and new Fried pies in Peach, Apple, and Blackberry.

Five Stars isn’t enough considering they were open when the Steak House wasn’t anymore due to ice.

The staff is warm and helpful and the kitchen staff were busy with a large group but I got my food before I was done washing the road off my hands.

****** 6 stars

I drove from Dallas to Burlington NC on this trip and I’m stopping here on the way back.“

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

“We stayed in the hotel right behind the place. After a couple of phone calls I finally got through to ask if they were pet friendly on their outside area. It would be nice if that information was posted somewhere. When we got there. The wife went in to let them know we were going to sit on the patio. The gate to get on the patio had a sign that read Alarm will sound if pressed (we found out it doesn't). After sitting for a while she had to go back in to see if someone was coming. Might have been a confusion of who was taking care of outside. Once that was sorted it was ok......On another note..... What has BWW done to the Spicy Garlic Sauce? It looks and tastes just like the Buffalo Sauce. This isn't the first BWW we experienced this. It used to be one of our go to sauces, but not anymore.“

“We just had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the doors! We’re visiting from Indiana. Our waitress was so so kind. I only wish she wore a name tag tho I guess I could’ve asked. The food was absolutely delicious, hot, and prompt! I wish we had a great ihop like this where we live.“
