I'm proud to highly recommend this restaurant. My first date with my wife was here in 1989. I didn't appreciate the fresh-made pasta sauce and pasta. The trout raised in a neighboring spring or the home made cakes and pies like I do today. Three generations of the Devito family have made this restaurant what it is. We are lucky to have it here in Harrison!! read more

Great meal in Harrison. We were staying there a night before a hiking trip at Buffalo River. 8 of us all enjoyed. Family place that took good care of us. Trout was very tasty and probably the way to go. Desserts were homemade and awesome. And nice to have a good beer selection. read more

Devito's Restaurant - New American Near Me - Harrison, Arkansas

A wonderful, family owned restraunt! Everything I have tried on the menu is delicious! Steak, trout, chicken or Italian, whatever your in the mood for they have it! And dessert...homemade! read more

bad! fish was dry, eggplant was very salty. bread with dinner was nothing to brag about, dry. butter was prepackaged. overall not good!

The lasagna was so good!!! Best I have ever eaten. My husband got ravioli it was really good to!!! Even had dessert a chocolate pecan pie with a homemade crust. Did not eat anything that was not taste. Would highly recommended this place!!! If going to Harrison Ar just a little off the road but a great place to stop!!! read more

Where to begin? It was loud and chaotic when we walked in. A line at the register to pay and no one there. The pasta dishes are overpriced. My husband ordered prime rib and wanted it medium rare but they said medium was the rarest they could do. What?? I had a piece of Italian sausage that was like no Italian sausage I've ever tasted before or ever want to again. Now I may be slightly picky because I'm Italian and from Chicago but this is one of the worst Italian restaurants I've ever eaten at. read more

Great food and service. A little pricey but definitely worth it. Did not have to wait long to be seated and the food came out fairly quickly. The Alfredo there is awesome and so is the fried Ravioli. read more

Good food if you find yourself in Harrison. Not the best or freshest Italian food, but the trout is pretty good. The praline cheesecake was pretty awesome. read more

What a find! Trout, trout and more trout. They have other food but the fish was so good, I wouldn't get anything else. Good service, friendly owners, you just can't get better than that. read more

DeVito's is a Harrison institution. It's easily Harrison's biggest and best culinary secret. Tucked away just off of old 65, the historic Bear Creek Springs Trout Farm and its sister restaurant, DeVito's, have been pleasing and serving local families for decades. All the restaurant's impressive trout dishes come from fish caught that morning at the farm-- which isn't surprising. What is surprising is that almost every other dish is made from scratch on location as well. Homemade pasta? Check. Homemade meatballs? Check. Sauce? Bread? Salad dressings? Desserts? Smoked prime rib? Check. It's all fresh, it's all made by the DeVito brothers (or, in the case of the chocolate cake, their mom), and it's all fantastic. We're especially fond of the lasagna, a rich and delicious dish that can easily serve 2-3 people with one entree; the house creamy parmesan dressing; and the divine chocolate bourbon pecan pie. Our toddlers can split a child's spaghetti entree (the staff will happily split any entree for you without any additional charges), and everyone leaves extremely full and happy. The prices are a bit higher than most area restaurants, but it is OH SO WORTH what you pay. Make sure you leave some time to stroll around the grounds before or after your meal. Go down to the trout farm with a quarter or two for some trout food (honor system) to throw in the water and feed the beautiful fish. And check out the beautiful cascading waterfall beside the restaurant, and the giant fish (goldfish? koi?) in the pool beneath it. The spring coming out of the mountainside makes for another quick but scenic stopping point. Amazing location! We're long-time fans and will be back to DeVito's again and again. read more

Found Devito's on yelp driving back from Branson. Great little Italian place that specializes in trout from the stream across the street. The adults in our family had the Cajun trout, roasted red pepper & garlic trout (the special) and the pesto trout. All were fantastic. I recommend the house zesty Italian dressing for the salads. The hush puppies were some of the best we've ever had (very light and flavorful). The kids meals were also very good and had amazing French fries similar to the hush puppies. Very worthwhile destination for the short detour off of Hwy. 65. read more

We are not from the area but have family in Harrison. This is always a must stop for my family. Everything is delicious and I am not a dessert fan and usually do not even eat cake but the chocolate cake here is one of the best things I have ever tasted. You have to try it. read more

Amazing food! Who can find fault with fresh-cooked trout? The food is simply delicious and the portions are large enough for two people or two meals. We had the Cajun trout, the De Vito trout (half and half) and the trout almondine. All excellent! To top it off we had the bourbon chocolate pecan pie and it was heavenly! read more

One of the best kept secrets in NW AR. Love this place. Cajun grilled trout is amazing. Can't beat the views and fun to feed the trout.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. The prime rib is exquisite, tender, smoked flavor. And pesto trout very tasty. Great desserts. Dress is very casual. All of the staff are very friendly! read more

Absolutely awesome experience. Great, professional waiter, awesome ambiance, and great food. Best marinara sauce I have ever had. Howard was our waiter, and he was the best. read more

Food was awesome! We took our kids there so they could catch their fish for dinner. They caught three very nice size trout in a very short time. Kids wanted to fish more but it is not catch and release. You pay for what you catch and they will cook it for you at the restaurant if they are open. We had trout almondine, devitos trout (grilled), and fried boneless trout. I had never eaten trout and was surprised at how good it was! Not fishy at all. Very clean white meat fish. Even the skin was tasty! We had two salads with their two house made dressings and they were great! Family owned and most items were made from scratch. Wished I had room for desert! Was a bit pricey but glad we went for the experience! read more

We're traveling and selected Devito's based on their Yelp reviews. The trout was excellent as was the steamed broccoli. There really isn't any decor but, who cares when the food is good., read more

Looked at restaurants and reviews for the Harrison, AR. Area. Divito's sounded good and was not too far off the highway. Wife and I both had the trout, prepared differently. Both were cooked to perfection with good flavor. Tartar sauce, lemon wedge and cocktail sauce were all offered. Found just a little lemon was all that was needed. Great meal and service. We came late so we couldn't enjoy the view, but did have a nice conversation with our server Debbie. Very enjoyable evening. read more

We live in Arlington Texas, but have property outside of Harrison. DeVito's has become a must stop each time we are in town. The food is fresh, the service is good and the prices are very reasonable. In DFW we have literally 100's of places to choose from. This place is as good as it gets. read more

Hands down favorite restaurant ever! Everything is made from scratch by the family. Every time I am in town it is a must to stop there. I do not have one negative thing to say and I have tried just about everything on the menu. It is a must to have an appetizer, main course, and try and save room for desert (or take it home). Too bad I can't give it more than 5 stars! read more

I always enjoy eating at Devito; however, this past week I enjoyed it a bit less...the trout was great, as usual, but our server had a totally dour appearance...no smiles for anyone! She also ignored part of our order. Not the greatest service! Next time maybe we can get a smile along with our food....that would be nice! read more

I love the seafood pasta. There is always enough to take home too. We have been there many times and always delicious! Can't wait to go back! read more

The location is bit out of the way but worth it. I dined with 3 of my coworkers and all of our selections were excellent (3 different trout dishes and my chicken selection). They all enjoyed thier fresh trout plates and I ejoyed my "Brandon's Chicken Paramasean" plate. The food was priced a bit higher than the competion and the decor was slightly lacking the "italian atmosphere". However the excellent wine (nice Malbec) and the food more than made up for the areas of opportunity. I will be back the next time I am in the area. read more

The food here was simply amazing! We stopped after looking up the place and it is definitely a great find. Most reviews were about the trout but we just had their pasta. It was the first pasta place I have been to that I left fully pleased. Their Alfredo sauce was filled with rich flavor. The artichoke and spinach dip they make let's you know why this classic appetizer got so popular!!! It is a must! read more

Devito's is a Harrison mainstay! It has been my favorite restaurant for many years. I've lived other places: Rogers, Little Rock, Dallas and am presently in Fayetteville, but I still make a special trip to my hometown to eat at Devito's every chance I get! Their trout is unbelievable (especially the pate and the smoked trout!) and always made to perfection! Their Italian selections are authentic and ALL excellent. They are rich and robust in flavor and obviously homemade with quality ingredients. In this day and age, it's so nice to go to a restaurant where the food is made to order and not a frozen quick fix! The ambience sets the tone for the perfect meal...from the creek in the background and beautiful landscapes and waterfalls to the friendliness of the staff and owners. I highly recommend Devito's to any and everyone! read more

I have past this place uncounted times. I remember seeing it also as a Child, but we never stopped. Today we did. I am so glad we did! We started with the trout fingers. A perfect appetizer, fresh and delicious. We ordered the shrimp fettuccine and lasagna. Our salads arrived, I had the creamy Parmesan dressing, highly recommend it! Our entrees arrived, oh my! The portions were huge! The freshness and savoriness were a delightful combination. We had to get Togo boxes, but we thoroughly enjoyed the service and the food. We highly recommend DeVitos and will be return customers! read more

I have wanted to come here and eat for almost 13 years. I finally made it me and my MIL's destination today. OMG the food is absolutely amazing. We started out with Trout Fingers for our appetizer and were not disappointed. Delectable fresh trout cut into fingerling size lightly cornmeal battered deep fried to perfection. Melted in our mouths. My MIL ordered her favorite dish of all Eggplant Parmesan and I ordered the Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo. Neither of us were disappointed in fact our taste buds were singing praises to the heavens. My alfredo sauce was a buttery, cheesy, creamy delight along with the shrimp and crab each bite was a succulent and tender delightful journey. The eggplant parmesan with 5 medallion's of tender, soft goodness, with a homemade red sauce is and was to die for. Everyone was super sweet, super nice and the entire experience from start to finish was perfection. These two gals will be eating here many more times I can guarantee it. Plus the area around the restaurant is so pretty and off the beaten path. read more

Easily the best place to eat within miles and miles (definitely rivaling anything found in Branson). As a matter of opinion, if you are staying in Branson, it is worth the 30 minute drive to eat here. Where to begin? Pesto Trout is stupid delicious. There is not real way to describe this. The trout is literally farmed ACROSS THE STREET PEOPLE, so it is the freshest trout you will ever eat, broiled to perfection. The second secret here is that the make and stuff their own Italian sausage. No matter what entree you get, add an Italian sausage for $3 or so. You must try it! It is by far the best and most unique Italian sausage it have ever had. Note that you must park below and walk a decently steep staircase to get to the restaurant- don't know if there is an elevator. The cheesecake is to die for and I believe that a local woman makes them fresh for the restaurant and brings them in. IF YOU ARE IN BRANSON, TAKE THE DRIVE TO HARRISON FOR THIS RESTAURANT! read more

We've been going to DeVito's for twenty years! Good food, good service, and really pleasant experience, especailly if you're seated at a window with a view of the creek and forest across the street. Are rarely disappointed, and usually only because the dish wasn't quite as good as last time. Great trout fixed a dozen different ways, and great prime rib. My one complanit is the prime rib is only on Friday nights. The lasagna and chicken parmagon (sp?) poirtions will feed two adults. read more
