Dining at 21 West End is always a pristine experience. The pork loin in demi-glaze, complemented by caramelized pear and the chef’s selection of vegetables, is nothing short of extraordinary—so smooth, rich, and layered with flavor that every bite feels both comforting and refined.
The service elevates the evening even further. Taylor, behind the bar, delivers hospitality with effortless charm and attentiveness, making each guest feel genuinely cared for. In the kitchen, Tyler’s mastery shines—his precision and creativity transform each dish into something memorable, reaffirming why this establishment maintains such high standards.
From cuisine to service, 21 West End remains a true gem: consistent, elegant, and deeply satisfying.

Amazing food

The food is outstanding!
A diamond in the rough of the Ozarks. Whiskey and beer selections are solid.

Been there 3 times while traveling for work; had food poisoning twice!! First time was good, second time left me in the fetal position, sprinting to the throne nonstop for 12 hours. Third was not quite as severe, but still a very rough 10 hours following. Each poisoning event was after eating raw items: steak tartar, and tuna tartar...lesson learned. Despite wanting to like this place, I can NEVER go back. Brutal experience. Only times in my life I can confirm getting food poisoning.

Amazing location, very intimate, everything about our evening was delicious and exceeded any expectations I had by a large margin. Reservations on the weekends are HIGHLY recommended. Only caveat I could mention is the confusing layout, but that's part of the mystique. When you walk thru the old style speakeasy door nothing greets you except a stone stairwell leading down 2 flights to the basement, then turn RIGHT for the main restaurant. Our server Mitch was a delight, and made several recommendations that we took advantage of, including cocktails and entree choices. The sea bass was melt in your mouth as was the filet mignon. If I could rate it 6 stars I would. Wonderful experience all around.

It was nice getting to enjoy the quaint and pleasant atmosphere. It wasn’t loud and did not have obnoxious people there. The food is excellent and we’ve been there several times and never disappointed. Staff are friendly just wish they had better parking

Service was friendly, informative, and attentive. Our waiter even told us of the history of the building which was the first municipal building and jail in the 1800’s.
The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. And salmon is difficult to find that has been cooked well. The smoked chocolate truffles for dessert were rich and decadent. Next time we will need to try the charcuterie board. The table next to us ordered it and it came out with a lid that when the waiter removed it, the most amazing smoked aroma was released.
Definitely recommend trying this out. The menu had good variety and unique flavors.

The place we were going to go to was closed, so we chose 21 West end on a whim. Dang did we hit a home run. This place was awesome. Our server was friendly and offered wonderful suggestions. Literally everything that we ate and drank was absolutely wonderful. Wife had the filet mignon and it was like butter, I had the tomahawk porkchop which was amazing. Drunk menu was great, atmosphere was great seriously go try it out

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere screamed luxury—elegant, modern, and effortlessly swanky. Every detail, from the lighting to the tableware, was curated to perfection. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. My dish was a work of art, cooked flawlessly with bold flavors that somehow remained balanced and refined. The service matched the setting—attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. A truly exceptional dining experience from start to finish.

Wow. Great food, cool vibe, service impeccable. What else could you ask for? Ask about the history of the building and you get the story. I love a knowledgeable waiter.

We were in town for an event, I had looked up 21 West End and was looking forward to trying it. When we got there they were closed for a catering event. It was raining and we had ubbered there from our hotel. The assistant manager was pulling up unloading the trailer from the catering. He saw us and took us to another restaurant in his own truck making sure we were taken care of! That’s how you run small business folks so pay attention. I will be back in town in a few weeks and we will be back. They care about the customers and thier reputation of the business! That says it all for me!

Me and my husband recently had dinner for our Valentines night out. Our first choice for dinner is 21 West End. It is the premier place for fine dining in Fort Smith. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. Chase Campbells attention to service detail is unmatched. We encourage anyone that is wanting a night out with wonderful ambiance, fine dining with amazing food and drinks, to make their way to 21 West End. Ask for Chase
