We just got off the plane from Phoenix to explore the great state of Arkansas and came across what we can say was 100 percent southern hospitality. Our server Anna was spectacular. She surprised us with a meal that brought all the southern comfort to the table. We had ribs and chicken, mac & cheese, and an amazing flaming queso. She recommended topping it off with the mini chocolate mess, which took awhile to get all the gooey chocolate off the sides of the dish. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable and I still can't say enough about the staff. We had several of the servers stop by our table and give us their advice on what we needed to see while we were visiting. Defiantly a place we would visit again. Thanks Anna, Will and all our new southern friends! read more

New place for us while in Arkansas for War Eagle craft show. First the complementary bread is wonderful! Melted butter all over the little loaf. I had a bowl of potato soup to start and it was the most flavorful I've had. We ordered from the lunch menu. The Jambalaya cajun pasta was spicy. I loved the Prima Chicken pasta! The lunch portion was small, I could of ate more. Definitely don't order the bbq pizza. Plain with not a lot of flavor. Very surprising for this nice of restaurant. We will remember this place on our next visit. Really good waiter so definitely worth eating here. Place has personality. read more

I have reviewed here before - a few times - but I couldn't help it to review again. The amount of food that we purchased and received was a mountain that more than fed (leftovers even) a family of 4! Their meal deals like we got tonight are not to be missed and these entries and sides are fantastic ! Krunchy Shrimp with Raspberry sauce and Ribs that melt in your mouth and fall of the bone. Excellent food - really some of the best and especially for the money! Don't miss a visit here if you're in the area! We have been eating here for 30 years and NEVER had a bad meal. Excellent service and atmosphere - I feel sure it will be a treat! read more

Such a busy and loud location. A lot of people came by. We had reservation and I would suggest to have one as volume of people is large. Food was pretty good. I ordered bbq chicken pizza and requested extra crispy crust . My request was granted and I received pizza just the way I like it, thin and crispy. I enjoyed it. I found it a bit odd to use cheddar cheese but luckily it was fine. My daughter ordered a wrap and waffle fries. She enjoyed her meal too. Portions were huge. Our waitress was super nice . I would definitely return if in the area. read more

This restaurant was conveniently located within walking distance of our hotel. It is large, so plenty of room for a group. We were seated promptly with no wait when we went on a Monday night. Our waitress was great. Reviews recommended the skillet queso, but I didn't care for it. But that's ok because it was part of a 3 course meal for two, and the other two courses were great. My chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were spot on. We ended the meal with the strawberry stack which was the perfect ending to our meal. read more

Update (2025): I continue to be amazed at the excellent service and food quality I get at Marketplace. It's not the most amazing food. And sometimes they do get it wrong. BUT, it is a solid eating location. Comfy seats. Friendly service. Great selection. Tasty. I still love the jambalaya pasta (sub with bowtie pasta!). Fav! It is a great place for family and visiting guests. I wish I could eat here more often (budget!). But, I always recommend it. Still 5-stars after living and dining at MP for 11+ years. read more

Great service!!! The bread was delicious with the butter drenched in the pan for our first bite along with my salad with a the restaurants version of ranch which did not disappoint bit it was the mess sundae that stole the show. Best Sundae I have had. read more

The food was good in terms of taste, but the presentation and preparation were somewhat messy. The overall cleanliness could also be improved, particularly with the floors, tables, and utensils. Additionally, the booth seating felt quite cramped, making the dining experience less comfortable. read more

Flaming Queso was ... fire. Best club sandwich I've had 8n a while too. The service was attentive and the atmosphere was chill if crowded.

Chocolate Mess dessert shake is the best. Large. Birthday traditions must try :) Food is great also read more

This place was just okay for me. Menu was all over the place, food was okay. I liked the building, but dont know if I'd return.

First time here and was very satisfied with the food, service and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. Lots of items to choose from which helps if you have picky eaters. We had a group of 8 and were seated in a reasonable amount of time on a busy night. read more

Was driving through town and found this gem! Great service and amazing food! Definitely a must try! From Albuquerque New Mexico!

Second visit, we were here last year 2024, this visit not nearly as good. I ordered chicken tenders with broccoli. The broccoli came out cold, not warm COLD with Parmesan cheese on top. Kitchen made it right by heating it up. Batter on the chicken tenders had zero seasoning, very plain and it did not stay on the chicken. One bite and it all came sliding off. Big Disappointment! My sister had the Grilled chicken salad with their homemade herb dressing which she seemed to enjoy. It had one slice of cucumber, 2 grape tomatoes and was drenched in the dressing (I would suggest order it on the side). Bread on the table excellent. Server was efficient, friendly and had great knowledge of all the menu options. We arrived just before the dinner rush so it was nice and quiet with plenty of booths to choose from. Will we return next year? Ummmm not sure. read more

We went because it was across the street from our hotel. The steaks said market price so we ask our waiter the price , he said $24.99 so my husband ordered it. He ordered medium and it was literally raw , our waiter even said "that is mooing" it was tough and lots of gristle too. The manager brought the recooked steak out and her only comments were she didn't understand how it wasn't cooked right. No offer of apology. I ordered the Santa Fe chicken and it was just okay. I didn't care for the BBQ sauce so that's possibly just personal preference. When the bill came we were charged $29.99 for the steak. Yes we should have said something but we were just ready to go . Just disappointed in the food especially since it's so close to our hotel and we were hoping for a close place to have dinner while in town. It was packed when we left with people waiting which makes me think it's a good place to eat but after our first experience it unfortunately will be our last. PS.. our salads were good but that was it . read more

Tyler was a great server! He took great care of our table (party of 10) and made sure we had everything we needed. Super friendly, and attentive the entire time. We really appreciated his excellent service--highly recommend asking for Tyler! read more

A great spot to grab takeout while staying at the Home2 Suites across the street. I ordered ahead online and it was done earlier than expected. Walked over to grab and the staff were very friendly and accidentally made my dessert too big . The food was very tasty and their many has lots of variety. read more

Marketplace Grill yummy yummy. The food was delicious, served in a timely manner and a perfect temperature. Serving staff very attentive. Casual ambiance. Lived my dinner But I got a box and only ate half so I could be sure to have what I travel 2 hours for .......,,the indulgent delectable Hot Fudge Mess! It never disappoints. My favorite dessert of all time. sundae glass filled with hot fudge then scoops of ice cream added causing the hot fudge to overflow down the glass creating a fudge coating inside and outside of the glass then hot fudge on top then whipped cream and cherry on top! It is a site to behold. It's such perfection you try to just look at it but it seduces you quickly to begin your version of the scene from When Harry met Sally! Iykyk read more

Service and food was A+++. Wait for a table was less than 30 minutes during a busy Sat dinner service.

The last time my wife and I dined at the MarketPlace Grill was in January of 2019. We left disappointed with the food. Unusual. Then Covid hit. We have not been back since 2019. Pryor to the big pandemic my wife and I tried to make to the MarketPlace Grill at least a couple of times a year. Our server today was Tyler. Nice guy, great attentive service. My wife had the Lite Walnut Salad I had the Cajun Burger. We were not too excited about either meal. They were good, but just average. I can't say that about the Jalapeno Cheese Fritters. Those things are crazy good. Cheezy gooey crispy spicey amazing, rich and heavy. I had two and tapped out. Oh man, they were good. A must try appetizer. The MarketPlace Grill is a big restaurant. I'm not sure about now, but they used to be wildly popular and always a wait for a table during peak hours. Clean restaurant with great service. They were recognized as one of "The Best in Northwest Arkansas" 2020 and 2022. read more

Very nice restaurant. family oriented vibe. Good parking. The menu is large and kind of a mesh of creole, Italian and American. The pasta jambalaya was top notch and the dinner salad was great. The waitress was on point and very responsive. read more

Wish I could remember the names. But at waitress recommendation, I tried 1/2 orders of their version of bang bang shrimp and a garlic shrimp with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. All was good!!! Several burgers were ordered. As was a rack of ribs that was reports ot good. We were a big table with 4 adults and 3 boys, stopping after several days of camping. I'm sure we smelt wonderful. Ha. The waitress was excellent. She kept up with 7 dehydrated people. Everyone enjoyed the food. read more

MarketPlace Grill - 1/2 orders of their version of bang bang shrimp and a garlic shrimp with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. - American Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

It's a standard quick service sit down well not exactly. First my Baja tacos were spot on and the grilled veggies amazing. My friend had the spinach pizza well cooked and boxed to go because she couldn't eat it all. The food always excellent. The burr here is it was a ten minute wait on a Monday the restaurant about 1/3 full for the tables. The waiter was over worked with the tables he had (yes short staffed not the waiter's fault but it is management's) The decaf coffee made fresh was another 15 minutes after the meal. So great coffee slow slow service. Honestly the vibe was ok but just not welcoming. read more

Where one of the lucky ones who got displaced during our vacation because of the northwest Arkansas tornadoes Sunday night. We had to move from our original location to Springdale. I'm familiar with the area, we happen to find this restaurant across the street from our hotel. It was kind of wonky With the hostess area, but it all worked out. Everybody was nice and friendly and our waitress was top-notch! She kept me with plenty of tea and for lunch I ate a salad, which was delicious. Plenty of gorgeous greens, delicious chicken and wonderful strawberries.I had the mini chocolate chunk cake for dessert and it was just OK. Overall, it would be a place. I'd like to visit again. read more

Will not be coming back here, which is really sad because the food was amazing but the service was honestly awful. Micheal was deeply disrespectful. He made comments about what a member of our party ordered saying things like "that's double carbs," or "you're getting a dessert so keep that in mind." He was rude and disrespectful in almost every step of the ordering process, proceeding to make fun of one of our party members accents and snapping in rude tones. The very first thing he said was "how many of y'all are there?" because he wanted the gratuity for our large party. He kept making us feel like we were attacking him any time we asked for something simple as a side of ranch. This caused our party to fear whenever he came around because of how he would react to anything we did making our dining experience horrible. Would not recommend. read more

Food was excellent and food quantity was fantastic. This is a definite repeat. I will be back for sure.
