We went here for our anniversary and the food and atmosphere were excellent. The server was top-notch, and the owner and chef came out to greet us and check on us personally. After our meal, which was fantastic, we went to the lounge for drinks and played games. It was so fun. We will definitely be back. read more

Rober in Benton Arkansas. Pretty cool spot. I didn't think I would find a cool spot in this side of town but with high recommendation from locals. It was the real deal. Only got cocktails and they know what they are doing. Whiskey sour with egg whites. Pretty balanced. Actually the mocktail was very good. Pretend Paloma was so good. Even if you don't drink or do. Get this. Excellent Huge selection of liquor. Nice bar area. I hear the food is amazing also read more

I came here hungry and looking for a good meal after being on the road all day. Without a reservation they were able to make room for me at the bar which was much appreciated. The bartender Anna was busy but very pleasant and I was able to order right away. I got the salmon and it was a great choice. It came with wild rice and carrots. The rice was a bit salty for me but I like things on the plain side. The sauce on the fish was delicious and the carrots were good as well. I got the molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The cake was fluffy and the molten was runny not thick. Both had more of a dark chocolate flavor. There was a good vibe to the place as well. Would return if in the area again read more

When I visit Arkansas I am consistently surprised with its fantastic restaurants. Rober is one of those. Great ambience, wonderful food, friendly service. It's elevated, but relatable. I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough. Ps. Personally, I try not to make too many subs, but Rober allows, if not encourages you to consider the sides. If you are so inclined, please consider the curry mashed potatoes. They are delicious! read more

This was our first visit at Rober. And wow! What a fabulous experience. The food was incredible--probably the best in Arkansas! We started with the bacon flight. I'm not big on bacon but everyone at the table was--turned out quite tasty!! The grilled ceasar salad was a first for us and it was scrumptious. We shared the redfish with crawfish sauce with the blackened seasoning. Impeccable. The cheese cake was authentic. The finest! Riber has a tranquil and cozy atmosphere with wait staff that get a 10! They provided thorough service and great explanations/recommendations. We will be back! read more

4 of us went to Rober in Benton over the weekend. We had the bacon flight, that in my opinion is a Must the chocolate pistachio is my favorite one. The whipped feta is very good. Then we shared the hardcore carnivore with sides of fried okra and mac and cheese. It had tenderloin bites, pineapple sausage, lamb chops a ribeye and bone marrow. Then a lemon cake for dessert. Plenty big enough for the group. And I would definitely order it all again. read more

The ambiance catches you when you walk in the door. We had a reservation for 4 but where a little early. We were escorted to a 'swank' bar waiting area. We ordered drinks. We were taken to our table right on time with our awesome drinks! Our waiter was the best!! We got the Bacon flight as an appetizer...it is too good to describe. We all had different items and shared. I had surf and turf with a creamy sauce and mashed potatoes. YUM!!! Steak was cooked perfectly! Medium rare My husband had plank salmon, carrots and wild rice. We were celebrating my late birthday...I ordered the crème brûlée cheesecake ...they put a lite sparkler on top!! All 4 of use sampled it..SO GOOD. I'll be going back!!! Thank you Steve and Kate for showing us a wonderful night in Benton! read more

Awesome birthday meal. Food was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Server wS the best. Definitely recommend

My wife and I stopped by on a whim, just looking for somewhere new for dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to seat us quickly anyway. The atmosphere is interesting, bit of that renovated warehouse vibe. We were definitely underdressed compared to everyone else, but there was no mention of a dress code, and if it was a problem, they wouldn't have seated us. The server took 10+ minutes to acknowledge us, and said she'd be right back with water. Another 10 minutes and she came to get our order, and said she forgot the water. Probably another 5 minutes and we finally got some. We ordered some drinks and a charcuterie board to split, as we weren't super hungry that evening. The server was a bit condescending that we didn't order entrees, saying "oh no entrees? you just wanted to try us out, I get it!" No lady, we actually just wanted some finger foods and booze. The charcuterie was very good, and worth the price. But we didn't see the server again until we were ready for the check. So, we did not feel very welcome. Hopefully other servers are more friendly to everyone, even if they're not ordering three courses. read more

It's so weird stepping into this place - it's just like a high end big city restaurant, but in Benton, AR, population 30k. Food was great, service was great. Sea bass and shrimp/grits dishes were both super tasty. The bacon flight is more like a pork belly flight though, they're thick pieces and fat is more on the rubbery vs melty side. This would be an excellent place to eat anywhere, considering the location it's exceptional. read more

We read all of the reviews and came here expecting an amazing meal. There were some great aspects: the service was good, the drinks were great, and the shrimp appetizer was great. However, I paid $44 for a plate of food (short rib and mashed potatoes ) that was worse than what you would get at Cracker Barrel. At first we were shocked and impressed that it came from the kitchen less than 5 minutes after we ordered it. In hindsight, the fact that it came out so quickly lines up with the idea that we were given something that was not made to order, rather something that had been sitting around. It tasted like pot roast with a sauce that was a mix between canned chili and sloppy Joe sauce. It was about what you would expect at a potluck. I really wanted to love this place and I could normally overlook one bad dish but this dish was too bad to overlook. In my opinion the chef should never have sent that out. read more

We arrived for our 6:45 reservation and were seated right away. Very friendly hostess. Our server took our drink order. My Paloma was fantastic. The goat cheese and mushroom bruschetta was over the top perfection. The sea bass was perfectly cooked and presented. My short rib was perfectly cooked. A little heavy on the sauce but very good. We finished with a gluten free chocolate cake which was very good. Nice experience read more

Cool vibe ambiance. Tables are separated to help keep restaurant noise to a minimum. Service was spot on. Informative, helpful and very attentive. Wow food, coconut penne, lamb chops, short ribs and grilled Caesar. All and many more selections are definitely a must try. Highly recommend and will return to try their known cocktails. read more

Came here for my birthday and they had a card signed by all of the staff already at the table! Our waiter Dakota was very nice and helpful. They were very accommodating to my food allergy! We got the calamari and wedge salad for appetizers. I had the vegan pasta and my husband had the gumbo. They were great! The place had a cool vibe and was super nice. Was offered a free dessert and was also sent home with a little bottle of champagne. Will definitely be back! read more

We ate here based on a recommendation from some locals. I wish we had been staying closer to here so we could have eaten here more than just once! We started with the Bacon Flight and the Garlic Balsamic dipping oil for the bread. I love bread (who doesn't?!?) and the oil was soooooo good! Only downside is when it was mostly gone, only the pepper flakes were still there so it was a little spicy. As far as the bacon flight, we didn't know what to expect really since it's called bacon, but also referred to as pork belly. It's more like pork belly instead of bacon- unless it's super duper thick cut or something. You're even given scissors to cut it! Surprisingly, the ancho-espresso was my favorite. I honestly would not order it again though because it was mostly fat/fatty and wasn't really edible. We ate what of it we could though. For entrees, we got the surf & turf and the filet. Both were delicious, although the sauce with the surf & turf was a bit much (in richness, not quantity). I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I am a potato snob and their whipped potatoes were SO good! My only regret is not asking to see if the ancho-espresso seasoning could have been added to my steak. We did get drinks as well and again, no disappointment. I wish I knew our server's name because she was awesome and we loved her and her positivity. If I am ever anywhere near there again, you best believe I will be back! read more

Parking: parking is tricky. Arrive early and drive slow so you can navigate that. Atmosphere: dimmed lights, patio area, nice, tall booths. Very nice. Food: Amazing!!!!!!! Out of this world. I loved everything we ate. Got to talk to the chef and she REALLY cares about good food. My favorite thing had to be the Caesar Salad because of the grilled romaine. It was SO good! Note: they have tons of cocktails to choose from. Very extensive drink menu. read more

Our first time but we will return. Due to being overbooked we sat in the bar area. Be mindful that they own Revival, and Baja which are next door. Anna gave us a tour and was so attentive. I'd hire her with a drop of a dime. She made great food recommendations. The lobster risotto was delicious, blue cheese wedge was ok, then the ribeye being ok. We will return to try other menu options. Nice and quaint atmosphere. read more

ROBER exceeded every expectation. The hype was real and the food and service were 10/10. Our server, Sable, offered excellent recommendations and provided exceptional customer service. From appetizer to dessert, they didn't miss. Although, we were sad to learn the chocolate eruption is leaving the menu!!!! read more

One of the best meals of my life! Truly fantastic and will be booking another reservation.

I had the Hardcore Carnivore. It was so great. All cuts of meat were cooked perfectly.

The best culinary experience in Arkansas. We are so lucky to have ROBER. The place is a whole vibe, the service is excellent, and food is to die for. Would come every single week if I could. And Heather truly rocks my world. read more

Woooow this was some of the best food I ever had in Arkansas. Every bit was delicious. Started with the Mary Ellen barber cocktail which was delicious, could probably drink 5. If you like tequila, sweet and spicy, get it! Then had the mushroom and goat cheese appetizer which was not only delicious but huge. Could def share with a whole table. Finally ordered the shrimp n white cheddar grits for my meal, which had a red pepper cream sauce and pineapple sausage. So creamy and flavorful!! Ambiance is upscale, modern, dim lighting, great for a date night or girls night out! Definitely want to come back. Loved the huge floor to ceiling booths! read more

Fantastic every time! We live in Tampa, Florida and visit our relatives in Hot Springs Village during the holidays. This is a must visit place each time we're in town. The food and drinks are absolutely wonderful and stand out above any other restaurant in the area. We always start with the bacon and have had several different entrées and all outstanding. Last time we were there, my husband and aunt split the carnivore platter and loved it. I got the pork osso buco and it was the best I have ever had in my life! The staff is also incredible. Great service! Thank you, ROBER! read more
