What a treat to have a restaurant where we are staying. The fact that we had 2 separate meals here, clarifies that it was more than convince for us, the food was really good. I had a Monte Cristo. Prepared perfectly z& presented beautifully. I appreciate when restaurants veer off the typical menu items & offer delicacies like the Monte Crisco! Highly recommend this hot spot. read more

Ambience is lovely. Great view down the main street. We were there in mid May, so off-season. Got seated quickly. Server was very nice. Food was just so-so. I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich. Lacked a lot of flavor. My husband got the Philly steak, which was OK. Onion rings however, were delicious. read more

Balcony Bar & Restaurant - View from the Balcony Bar - American Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

This was the only restaurant I ate in Arkansas and I'll never forget it. From the food to the views and super friendly staff, I had a great experience. I'd definitely come back. My husband and I weren't starving. We shared the shroom burger together. It was delicious. I ordered a side house salad. It wasn't great. Most of the greens seemed like shredded lettuce and green onions. That is the only dish I would not order again. However I am not writing this review based on the salad alone. Overall, we had a wonderful time here. I highly recommend. read more

My wife and I went here on a Friday Night. We got seated quick and our server was super helpful throughout the night! Had a great view with our dinner as well. The late riser tasted amazing! Also recommend the sweet potato waffle fries. The bees knees personally was strong for me and I didn't finish it. Overall a good time and good food! read more

Th balcony was the perfect spot to unwind and take in the view with a drink in hand. The Halloween-themed spicy margarita was both fun and surprisingly strong, with just the right amount of kick. And the pie - omg! It came out warm, and tasted incredible paired with the ice cream. I wasn't expecting much, but it was such a perfect dessert. Portion size was huge - can easily split with between 2 people. Overall, a charming local spot with great drinks, delicious desserts, and a really welcoming vibe with friendly service. Highly recommend grabbing a seat on the balcony if you can! read more

We decided to eat here on our first night in town as a group of 6. We were seated quickly and service was great. Food was good with large portions. We have BLT afficianados in the group and they loved the BLTA sandwich. read more

My two sons and I had dinner at Balcony Bar & Restaurant tonight and had the most wonderful experience. It was a gorgeous night, so we sat outside and played a card game we had just purchased up the street. I believe Sarah (?) was our waitress, and she was delightful. The kitchen was on it, we got our pickle fries appetizer before she even had a chance to bring us our drinks. My youngest's kids meal burger was so big he couldn't even finish it. I had the hummus platter for my main, and there were SO many little pitas! When we finishing up, a very kind man who had also been dining on the patio came over and said, "Here boys, I want you to have a souvenir," and handed each of them a $2 bill. After we got our boxes, our waitress informed me that the kind man had also paid our bill. I haven't had such a positive experience anywhere in a really long time. Thank you!! read more

This restaurant was so GOOD! The service was great and the atmosphere was so cool. I love the old hotel. The strawberry daiquiris were to die for! I ordered the fish and chips and it was perfect. The coleslaw was so good. The flavor was very different that I have ever tasted. And the hush puppies were perfect. My wife ordered the Perfect Hamburger with onion rings. Everything was very fresh and hand battered! So so good! I would definitely come back here. read more

We tried to have breakfast on our first morning but they stopped serving it at 10 am. We went on the history walk in the morning and didn't get there until after 10 am. The lunch menu did not look appetizing. The next day we were able to have breakfast. We were surprised that the egg dishes do not have an option of being made with egg whites. In fact, there didn't seem to be many healthy choices on the menus. We did enjoy the veggie omelette. If you like burgers this is your place. The service is friendly and prompt. read more

This place is upstairs and part of the Basin Park Hotel. The hotel itself is said to be haunted but I saw or felt no ghosts on this occasion, lol. Very cool old building to walk through with a few game rooms as part of the hotel. As for the restaurant, I loved the outdoor patio, which gave us great views of the little town below. Our waitress was very friendly, and even helped us decide what to order as we were indecisive! I had the cheesesteak sandwich with fries and was very happy with my food! The sandwich had just the right amount of meat, cheese, peppers and onions and the French fries were tasty as well. The Alabama Slammer cocktail was really good and refreshing. Cool place, good service and good food! read more

First of all, we picked this place because it has a balcony. Our waitress was nice and accommodating. With a great spot overlooking the street below. My friend and I both decided to have the $20 massive burger. The bun was a little dry, and the meat was not seasoned very well. We could have probably done the regular patty, which was cheaper and Ben just satisfied. The toppings were great and the sweet potato fries were awesome. Didn't realize until after I paid the bill that there was an 18% gratuity automatically added on so my waitress got a tip.... read more

Balcony Bar & Restaurant - $20 burger - American Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

The burger was supposed to be the best in Eureka springs but it was mediocre at best. I got the haunted marg and asked for extra spice and it was just too sweet... but... the service was absolutely the worst... I asked two people for extra napkins... nothing... my waitress stopped by my table twice- once to take my order - once to bring my food.. 10 min after I finished I had to flag someone down to bring the bill... sorry I wasted my time.. read more

The waiting area was fun. We didn't have to wait long but we got there right at the beginning of dinner time. The service was decent. I don't mind the 18% automatically gratuity but I DID NOT like that the server stood there while I was paying on the device. It just seemed weird. Pay everyone more and do away with tipping period and it wouldn't look so bad on the reviews. The food was decent. My kids both got a burger and liked them. They are frozen patties but it was fine. I got a salad and my husband got the chicken sandwich. The chicken was tiny. He ended up just eating the rest of the kids food since their burgers were nice and big. We sat out on the balcony (even in December) since they had it enclosed and heated. The balcony covers could use a cleaning. Overall, not a bad choice since everything else closes so early in ES. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again though. read more

The view is nice. Cocktails ok. No service and the railing was filthy. One and done for us. read more

Great spot for dinner and drinks in historic downtown. We started with the hummus appetizer which is the best thing we ordered. I highly recommend as an appetizer. Kids menu is solid as it comes with crayons and drawing games to keep them entertained. I had 'The Best' Burger which was really good. I ordered the steamed vegetables as the side a they were 'meh' so I would go with another option as a side. My daughter ordered the Ice Cream Brownie dessert. I didn't try it, but the kids loved it. Service was really good as well, and good live music on the balcony that was the perfect volume. Loud enough to enjoy, but quiet enough to where you can still have a conversation. read more

Fantastic service! Our server was very friendly and nice. We ordered the chips and queso and you could tell the chips were straight from the bag and the queso was half cold and was definitely the Tostitos brand. One of my daughters ordered the Chicken Florentine and the mashed potatoes tasted like the mashed potatoes from the box. Definitely not the quality we paid for. The best food ordered was the loaded fries which were decently priced for what it was. Overall, this isn't a restaurant I would recommend in the area. read more

Pros: historical charm, great view Cons: Very pricey and mediocre food The biggest cons were an incredibly rude waitress and the 18% charge added to our bill, which brought our total to $65 for two diet pepsi colas, a hamburger, a salad and an order of pickle chips. We were surprised by the 18% charge and asked our waitress about it. That's when she lost her temper and stormed off, stating every restaurant does this. No, they don't. From her brief and rude explanation, this is a service fee, not a gratuity. The gratuity for your server is in addition to the 18% service fee. read more

After the low reviews I wasn't expecting much so I was pleasantly surprised. The BBQ burger is huge (all burgers are 1/2 pound) so we shared it, and added bacon. Subbed onion rings for the chips. And got a couple cocktails to top it off. It was really good. The burger is a bit overcooked but it was tasty. The location is unbeatable and despite middling service they're all happy to serve. Overall a good experience, definitely an option to return to in the future. read more

It's a neat building with a great balcony, I wouldn't go here for the food but lunch was fine, nothing to brag about. Go here for the balcony views and a cocktail read more

The views on the balcony are great, the wait staff is charming but the food is very average. The burger I ordered was very dry but I was starving. We had the chips and salsa - it's standard grocery chips and a decent salsa but nothing special. If you're in downtown and want to have some drinks and a quick bite, it's a spot but don't come if you want to be wowed by culinary excellence. lol. Eureka Springs has a clever charm of the Ozarks. read more

GET THE HUCKLEBERRY PIE AND HUCKLEBERRY ICE CREAM. Everything is made fresh and the filling is INCREDIBLE. It's everything you would expect in a pie - but better. The crust is flakey, fresh, and the filling is so damn good. Seriously, get your cheat meal in and get this dessert. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

My husband and I ate at the balcony bar and restaurant during our stay at the basin hotel. The food was fantastic. He had the best burger and I had the veggie quesadilla. I also had a specialty margarita. The service was fast and friendly. There was a gentleman playing music, created a nice ambience. The food was hot fresh and very good. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you're staying at the hotel or if you are just in the area and want to sit and enjoy a nice breeze and some good food. read more

Good food and order from there nearly every week. Eat in for the ambiance or pick up for fast service

Sometimes nice, sometimes rude. Food is so-so. You better have ESP and know their hours of operation for each night though because they don't post them. I showed up at 6:45 for dinner that it said was served until 9 and I got scolded. Then some other type of human sitting at the bar with a full beer acted like I was behaving badly because I was questioning. Lots of eye rolling was done by staff behind customers backs over the week that I was here. Not the biggest fan read more

Food was good and the location fun, but I'll have to think twice about returning, because they automatically charge 18% "gratuity" on all checks regardless of party size (only one person in my case). They use a lot of menu text trying to transparently justify this, but it's an awkward thing to read when you just want to choose a dish. I feel like it boils down to them not really paying their staff enough and wanting customers to cover the difference. If you want to spread tips around to other staff then do it with the tips customers voluntarily give. In my case it would have been over 18% anyway. But don't force it on customers. Regarding the food, I enjoyed the "Best burger", and especially their huckleberry pie with huckleberry ice cream which is a must-have if you come here. You can be comfortable sitting on the balcony even on a hot day because they have misters going. read more

First thing you need to know is that 18% gratuity is included on your bill. I had the fried pickle fries, and they were excellent. That would be my immediate recommendation for anyone going. But for anything other than that, save your money. The workers are nice. The burgers are massive, and appearance is overall appetizing; however, not only are the burgers mostly bland with a light smoky taste, they also forgot to take the onions off. For me, to get two burgers and the fried pickle fries, it was $70. You're better off saving your money. As for the ambiance, the decor is cool, but only because it's never been updated. I really liked sitting on the balcony overlooking the busy shops, but that won't save you from disappointing burgers. read more

This is a fun spot to stop. Even in the colder months they warm the patio so you can sit "outside". We split a nacho and a fried huckleberry pie. Really enjoyed the pie with huckleberry ice cream. First for both of us. Highly encourage stop in even for a quick afternoon snack. read more

Gratuity of 18% added to bill regardless of number of people. We never saw the server after she took our order until I went up and asked for our bill. At that point she came to our table, holding a baby and set the bill down and left. No real communication. Food was tasteless and expensive. Sweet potatoes fries were dried out. read more

Well. We come here almost weekly. Now they have decided if you sit outside on balcony you have to order from a "SPEED MENU" as they said. NO substitution. As well as they still AUTOMATICALLY TACK ON 18% GRATUITY TO EACH ORDER. We used to like this spot. But now limited menu. Over priced items. Time to find a new spot. Sadly. read more

Balcony Bar & Restaurant - Sad - American Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

The location and ambience was great. Cute spot, great view, had some freelancing musicians playing the whole time and it made it better. However the service was heavily lacking. We had a large party and were at the restaurant for over two hours. Our waitress got 4 orders wrong, and could not remember anything to save her life. She was clearly stressed from the amount of people, but it snowballed heavily. The food itself was alright, there was either too much flavor such as salt or not enough and it was essentially flavorless. Maybe it would be better with a smaller party, but this was a terrible experience. read more

I asked a local about eating supper here. I was told it's "good bar food." I'd say we had okay bar food. My Reuben and onion rings were average. The best thing about my partner's chicken sandwich is that they're thoughtful enough to have gluten free buns on hand! Nothing was bad; nothing was special. The waitstaff were professional and friendly. Zero complaints there. The old dining room was, well, old. Nothing memorable there. One thing that made me very happy is that they use at-table card readers so you're not sending your card off and out of sight with a stranger. The device also lets you pay securely with your phone (like GooglePay). It was okay for lunch on a Monday which seems to be "closing day" for many local businesses. read more

My husband and I always love stopping for drinks or a meal here. Today, it was both. Alabama Slammers, a Philly Cheeseteak with Fries and their Friday fish special. My Philly cheesesteak was awesome. Tender beef, lots of onions and green peppers and nice gooey cheese on a soft toasted bum with piping hot fries. My husband's fish was gone before I knew it too, nice and crispy batter, served with fresh fries, hush puppies and yummy cole slaw. Now we need a nap! This is a great place to stop and enjoy a drink from their extensive drink menu or have a light salad or appetizer or a full blown chow down! read more
