47 Best American Restaurants in Fayetteville

“To experience a truly delightful culinary experience and to celebrate special occasion, my go to is Atlas. The dishes are very thoughtfully prepared, presented and obviously delicious with fresh and unique ingredients and perfect portion sizes. You can tell that the chefs put their heart and soul into each dish and wine pairing. While the food is extraordinary and the atmosphere is posh, the service staff are gracefully humble and not at all pretentious. Atlas, thank you for making great memories and giving me occasions to look forward to with your lively menu.“

“Theo's saved me on my 10th wedding anniversary. Katelyn, the food service manager, took great care of us and the pacing of food was perfect. The manager sent out a bottle of champagne and everyone made us feel special. Thank you, Theo's“

“Absolutely amazing staff they have valet parking so I didn't have to worry about parking for the evening the food is amazing the atmosphere is great I recommend this place to anybody the only drawback is some of the prices are kind of high but when you go to a restaurant like this that's to be expected“

“First of all I've given patronage to this establishment for over 30 years. I've given this place more business than they ever deserved. My last visit from Fayetteville Arkansas was definitely my last! My family was treated terribly. I'm a veteran so I thought maybe I'll go out veterans day and have a good meal. I never usually go out or participate and I didn't order anything off the free menu. I ordered the lobster, salmon and shrimp trio. All of the food was completely undercooked and the fish was nearly inevitable and had a strange flavor. I complained. I've had perfect salmon at this restaurant. So I decided to replace it with the perfectly grilled fish. Only problem is they just made another piece of the same disgusting fish and served me that. She never came back to see if I was happy or not.They literally just didn't care. The quality of the food was beyond sub par. I came home and the next morning I woke up violently ill. This was the only meal I had that day. My daughter also became very ill with the symptoms of food poisoning. Upon contacting the restaurant,the arrogant, POS, jerk that answered the phone as a "team manager" over the weekend Commenced to tell my wife she was a liar. That no way we got food poisoning but promised her a refund after pretending to look up our ticket and table. They never issued any refund so he lied about that too. I'm really at the point where you need to remove your head from your as*. Don't bother contacting me about this. Nothing you could do could possibly fix this. I wouldn't even take a lifetime of free food at your establishment. You just suck.“

“Just driving through & stopped here just to get a quick bite but was totally in awe of the quality , portions, friendliness & cleanliness here. Super chill place with the freshest ingredients and the BREAD I can go on and on. We ordered the French dip, the Rueben, the tomato salad with fries and home made chips everything was perfect!“

“Good service and attitude Breanna shock give very good attention and attitude“

“We really enjoyed our visit! The food was great and our waitress,Joslyn, was the absolute most precious thing! Her food recommendations were spot on! She made our dining experience with Black Bear Diner even better! I know her mom is proud of her, this mama sure is! Thank you, Joslyn, for sharing your sweet caring heart and those adorable double dimples! -Niki and Jared“

“Salley’s hospitality was superb. She made sure us little old ladies from Little Rock were taken care of on a Sunday evening. Even gave us a bottle of hotsauce to take on the road(muah!). Her collards, pinto beans, hamburger steak and baked chicken reminded me of being back home in South Alabama 45 miles from the Stateline Mississippi! Chefs kiss and hats off to you ma’am. The food was delicious and the cornbread was ooooo wee fluffy and so good.“

“I had a great experience at Nomad’s Southtown! Our bartender, I believe her name was Emily, was extremely helpful on the menu. If you have never tried their espresso martini, you need to go! It was the best one I’ve ever had! Service and atmosphere is were great. I’ll be back!“

“The food was amazing, and our server, Grace, was great. However the music inside was really unsettling, it sounded like screaming and like hammontrees was being haunted(?). Definitely was off putting and put just a bit of a damper on our experience. Otherwise everything else was amazing. Love the partnership with NWA food bank.“

“Best part about our visit to the big biscuit was the server. What a great person who provided professional and attentive service this young lady was. Lindsay was her name and she definitely knew how to provide the best service for her customers. I was impressed, as was my entire crew.“

“New breakfast go to. We will definitely visit when traveling.“

“We had brunch today at Mockingbird Kitchen. Everything was wonderful. There was no wait time and we arrived at 11:00. The place was full but we got right in. I had the eggs Benedict with a side of cheese grits. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles with a side of cheese grits. We both agreed they were the best cheese grits we had ever eaten. Everything we ate was superb. The waiter was very attentive. We will definitely be back.“

“Service was fast, and friendly. Every employee we encountered on the way out thanked us for coming in. By FAR the best customer service I’ve encountered in a restaurant in years. And the food was great as well! All of the servers kept our glasses and fixin’s full. We thanked our waitress and told her what a good job she did. She told us thank you and that she’s still in training! They are doing something right here! Love love love“

I also had an orange vanilla ice cream with shortbread dessert that was excellent. All fresh and homemade! Highly recommend!“

“A very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The customer service here was impeccable. Our waitress, Kiva and Dola were some of the nicest people that a restaurant could ever employ, the manager Laura, was just as great. I will definitely give the staff & restaurant 5⭐ ratings.
The steaks were umm-umm delicious too. A must stop, bring your appetites and enjoy.“

“I was in the Fayetteville area the week of January 13-17 and was looking for a trivia spot for Wednesday. I came across this place from their social media presence. In a word…FANTASTIC! The location. The food. The drinks. The service. The trivia. Their clientele. This place is an absolute gem. I look forward to visiting this establishment any and every time I’m in the area. Parker’s…keep up the great work!“

“Absolutely wonderful! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere! -Martha, Key Largo, FL“

“Great brunch and great service!“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight. I am in-love with it. I can’t wait to eat here again. A tad far from home but worth a fun short road trip. MICHAEL went above and beyond in his customer service talents. The food is delicious but his service really made it a 5-star experience. The queso has a homemade flavor and the jalapeño relish is spot-on with the right consistency and hotness and sweet note. I found the atmosphere to be very hip and uplifting and honestly, this place really made my day. Thanks, Smitty’s and thank you, Mr. Michael!“

“Love eating food always tastes fresh and always fresh salad and clean clean bathrooms and clean clean place friendly people“

“It's a small bar that regularly hosts open mics, comedy nights, and local bands.
Service at the bar is fast.
The atmosphere is granola, and the size of the venue is small and charming.
It's a great time every time“

“Best pool hall in Fayetteville with bartenders that know how to pour a drink! Great beer selection and wonderful atmosphere with several pristine pool tables for people who want to kick back and pros alike!“

“JJ’s Live is the absolute BEST venue for entertainment in Fayetteville for a few reasons. A) Top notch customer service- Caitlyn and Zoe are genuinely amazing in ensuring fans are happy and satisfied. B))The building is open and spacious and has a RAD vibe to it- you can see the artist(s) no matter where you sit/stand- you don’t have to view them from a giant screen. C) The venue has an intimate feel to it- you almost feel up close and personal to artists because though it’s a spacious building, there’s not thousands of people to wade through. D) They do a great job bringing in music entertainment and they have now began bringing in comedic entertainment! E) It’s in our back yard! Love the location! F) The outside area is nice because you can sit and relax outside and visit with folks and have a beverage or a smoke comfortably- before the show starts or during the show if you need to step out for a bit. I could honestly carry on through the alphabet if I wanted, but these are the top reasons I will continue to choose JJ’s Live for entertainment over other close by venues.“

“We love Chilis and have been going there for years on Fridays. The food is great and the service is consistent with smiles and that extra attention for providing a wonderful diniing experience. We especiall love Casey who always provides a smile and goes the extra mild to make us feel great before and after our dining experience. She is awesome.“

“I have ordered twice now to have food delivered and both times the order was messed up. First they forgot the sandwich sauce and the 2nd time they forgot the main item the pizza. The first time I let it go and this time I called to try and get the pizza delivered. I spoke with GM Joseph and all he did was blame it on he delivery service. I PAID YOU for my order not the delivery service and you are responsible for making sure everything is in my order. You try to act like you're doing me a favor by making a fresh pizza. Sir there is no pizza you are just now making it. At the very least you should've reimbursed me for the pizza. If I pay you for my food YOU are RESPONSIBLE to make sure I get my food and that all of the order is picked up. After reading all of the comments I should've known that you have a problem with customer service. I pray people read this and stop coming to your restaurant until it is under better management. TAKE RESPONSIBLTY AND STOP BLAMING A DELIVERY SERVICE.“

“Katy was amazing and so was her night crew“

“First time at steak and shake. Clean little 60s style diner with classic music in the background. Steak burgers were thin so if you’re a big eater you may want a double patty. Quick service and friendly waitress. Hard to find $5 burgers these days even at fast food restaurants however was pleasantly surprised at how cheap the meal was. Worth getting a shake as well!“

“Have eaten at Sassy's on Steamboat Drive. Two were takeaway. ALL 3 were a rip-off. The amount of meat is pathetic. Was told that meat served is weighed and owner is very strict on it. $22 for a beef sandwich with 3 little slices of meat, soggy fries and cold slaw that was basically sliced cabbage with no taste. I've given them 3 chances and expressed my feelings each time. Totally over rated restaurant.“

“Love it here, it's always a great visit. Except today, your cashier Sonia was kind of rude, seemed upset to have to help us. We waited in front of her for a bit before she decided to help us. Oh and then when bringing our food out, so rude. Not once gave a smile.“

“I dont care what new BBQ joint pops up in or around town..this is the best brisket, hands down. The place is decorated with trophies..........winning BBQ trouphies. Be easy with the Volcano sauce and tell the staff how good the food is in person.“

“I have never had shrimp as good as here. it was wonderful. The Etufay was especially tasty. we will be back.“

“Came here tonight love eating here great food friendly people clean clean bathrooms clean clean place“

“After an extraordinarily long day, sometimes one simply desires the comforting sensation of breakfast foods. This was the mood I found myself in after a long, rather involved day. My party and I elected to journey to the great International House of Pancakes, although the experience we had makes me think this House is more of a Home. The food was fantastic, the service incredible, and the memories unparalleled!! If you are in the mood for pancakes - or waffles, if feeling truly blasphemous - this IHOP is truly the place to go.“
