Amazing! Exceptional! Delicious! We started with the caramelized onion & feta dip- 10/10! The double patty smash burger was full of flavors- 10/10! And the chefs kiss of the evening was the pork schnitzel- 15/10!! Do not sleep on the schnitzel!! Jake was our server and he knows the menu well, his suggestions were always spot on. Jake definitely enhanced our experience.
Everything I've had here has been excellent. From the burger which I believe is the best in Bentonville to the short ribs and even the pork schnitzel. Service has always been excellent (I always sit at the bar) and food served surprisingly fast. Highly recommended!
Great food, great vibes, will be back. Fudge cake was awesome!

The Big Lieutenant is a very nice, modern restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. It has a great beer selection, including local beers on tap and standard domestics in bottles, creating a super fun vibe perfect for happy hour and cocktails. The original menu offers fresh ingredients and a lot of variety, although more dinner options for men would be appreciated. The staff is incredibly personable, and the food is exceptional, with dishes like the Meatballs app and burger entree elevating classic flavors to gourmet status. The burger is noted for its crispy and juicy bites, and the fried mozzarella special appetizer was perfectly balanced. The restaurant often features beer from local breweries like Greenhouse Aleworks, adding to its appeal. While food preparation can take some time, it is well-prepped and timely. The drink menu includes crafted cocktails, beer, and wine, making it a favorite go-to spot for a night out with friends and delicious food. Many visitors praise the food quality and service, calling it one of the best places in NWA, with some noting the bread pudding as the best they’ve ever had. The restaurant is also known for its fries, meatball sub, smash burger, wings, and homemade ice cream, which keeps customers coming back regularly.
