    New donut shop!
    Nate M.

    NWA? - Nope, this isn't a secretly run donut shop that Dr. Dre and Ice Cube are invested in; it's just a small-town mom and pop business with a gangsta sounding name. I recently went to Bentonville, Arkansas for work and was able to explore the city during my last day there. I had probably driven by the NWA Donut shop about five times at this point, and was really intrigued by the name and the random location. I mean it's settled-in all by itself in a vacant strip mall, bookended with a dive bar and a juice/yoga studio, what a country! I stopped in and instantly felt like Marty McFly right before he asked for a "Pepsi Free" in that Hill Valley malt shop. With all eyes on me, I made my way to counter and was greeted by a very sweet old lady and started ordering donuts. I went with a classic pink frosting donut, two old fashioned, one with chocolate and one blueberry, a bear claw, and a Kolache with a jalapeno sausage inside. The donuts were good, but they could have sat in the fryer for at least another minute. When keepin' it real with NWA you must try the Blueberry Old Fashioned and the Bear Claw, soft, sweet and melt in your mouth good. The Pink Frosted donut was very doughy and the Chocolate Old Fashioned tasted a little "different", maybe it was the chocolate they used? The Kolache was great, the flaky dough that surrounded the store bought sausage was awesome, buttery and super soft. I could have eaten just bread this minus the nitrate-ciscle. I was teetering on a 3-star review originally for this place, but the customer service was on point and they give out free donut holes with every order. Plus, when you're only paying about $.75 per donut the small hiccups didn't really bother me. By the way... NWA = NorthWest Arkansas. The more you know.

    This place was not open at it's designated time of 6am. Drove across town to get there and the place was dark with no movement.

Akaida seated us and was our server for the evening. While many menu items looked tempting, we had never had Ostrich so the ostrich patty melt was our choice with a side salad. The melt was amazing! Honestly, I've spent as much for a grass fed beef burger so I was very pleased with the sandwich we had. The only negative for the sandwich was that they were inconsistent with the aioli. My wife got none on her half while my first bite resulted in sauce exploding from the sandwich all over my shirt. Still worth it! The mixed greens salad was ok too, but this sandwich will be remembered.

When you arrive there is parking around the square or in the lot to the side of the restaurant. As I mentioned earlier it feels like an upscale pub when you walk in, but this is also a historic building. Tusk & Trotter sits where Sam Walton's original general office and warehouse was located. We sat in the bar area as we also stopped by the restaurant during happy hour. For food we started with the Arkansas Fritters (Ralston Family Farms rice with ground beef, house-made sausage, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, dill & lemon chipotle remoulade & chow chow) which were packed with so much flavor. For our entrees we ordered where the Buffalo roam (Sayersbrook Bison Ranch patty, brioche bun, cheddar, swiss, bacon, chipotle aioli, over easy egg & LTOP) which is definitely the highlight with a side of fries. The burger fell apart and you could tell it was extremely fresh. If you are in Bentonville, this is a must try!

    Awesome little restaurant right at the Bentonville, Arkansas Airport in the Legends Air Terminal!…read more The restaurant is named after famous female aviator Louise Thaden, which is a pretty cool piece of local aviation history. We were in a bit of a hurry since we needed to get back to Austin, so we grabbed seats at the bar and ordered there. Service was great and everything moved along quickly. I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled eggs, while my buddy went for the famous "$200 Burger!" My avocado toast was good--not the best I've ever had, but definitely solid. The avocado was fresh, the pickled onions were spot-on, and the scrambled eggs were pretty good. I would have preferred the eggs to be a little fluffier, though. The biggest downside was the bread. It was a bit tough and difficult to cut and bite through. My buddy said the burger was great--juicy and exactly what he was looking for. The views are definitely one of the highlights here. The restaurant looks out over the runway, taxiways, and terminal entrance, so you get a pretty cool aviation backdrop while you eat. And the sign as you walk into the terminal from the tarmac reads "Gateway to the Ozarks!" Pretty darn cool. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Bentonville--home of the OG Walmart--and Fayetteville, home of the University of Arkansas. Overall, a really good experience!

    Asked for a good recommendation and was given the Cubano. Horrible! Worst I've ever had. Completely…read moredry and the bread seemed stale. Meat was hard and dry as well. Small portions and a bit pricey for what you receive. Kids chicken was not great either. Been wanting to try this place for years, but something always kept me away. Now I know why. Not to mention the service. No check-in's (how's everything going, do you like the food, etc.) Mo refills on waters or asking if we needed anything else. Just dropped the check and left. We were on the assembly line today and will not be back. The brewery or Meld, nearby, is 100% better hands down. Plus the service is always on point
