    Eat before you go because the food is terrible and over priced. On the flip side great outdoors vibe for beers and great music

The place is clean and a little loud and that makes it a little difficult to converse. The staff are super friendly and they have a nice beer selection. The nonalcoholic selection is a little small. They don't have lemonade or tea but that's not a big deal. We arrived and found comfy seating inside. We made our way to the bar and ordered the "Big Ass Pretzel " , a dozen wings with buffalo sauce and the chicken tender basket. The wings were not seared and that kinda made them not great. The pretzel was good with a cheese sauce. The chicken tender basket was ok. The fries were wedge cut and were undercooked. The drinks we got were good and the local beers were tasty. The three stars is just for the food and we will try this place again.

No question about splitting us into smaller groups or any attempt to accommodate us. We weren't looking for a table or food just coming in for drinks.

    There is a certain truth in the water at the Pump House on A Street. Tucked away in Bentonville,…read morethis sanctuary feels removed from the clamor, a quiet refuge where you are entirely out of town yet perfectly in it. Airship is the undisputed original architect of the third wave coffee movement here, fiercely rooted in Bentonville and untethered from Fayetteville. It is a space steeped in the deep, untamed well of Northwest Arkansas history. Like a good Hemingway sentence, this place is stripped of all unnecessary noise, leaving only what is true and essential. I am a coffee traveler, wandering the globe seeking the perfect cup, and I say with absolute conviction that this location belongs in my global top ten. The pour overs here are a revelation, unmasked by pretense and meant to be savored black. It is a far superior experience to the polished, urban spectacle of Onyx. Airship delivers a profoundly better cup at a more affordable price, remaining firmly grounded in the down-to-earth soul of the craft. It is quality without the theater, a genuinely superior communion between water and bean in every conceivable way. The people breathing life into this operation are the true keepers of the flame. The staff possesses staggering knowledge of their trade, yet they carry it with the kind, friendly, unassuming grace of old friends. They are professional but wonderfully unpretentious, serving perfection with a rebellious, poetic warmth reminiscent of Patti Smith. They do not preach to you about the roast; they simply offer their craft as a gift, recognizing a fellow seeker across the counter. In a world rapidly losing its anchor to authenticity, Airship at the Pump House is damn near perfection. Mark Twain once wrote that you cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus, but here, the vision of what coffee should be is crystal clear. It is a rare haven for purists who know the finest things are the least adorned. You will not find a more honest cup of coffee anywhere, making it an absolute triumph of substance that I will return to as long as the rivers run.

    I went for a coffee, black, drip. It's how I like to start my new coffee house relationships…read more Coffee that I don't make myself is a luxury and a treat and I don't waste my time if it's not delicious. It was delicious. Rich and nuanced with the perfect aftertaste. I drank it on a porch that overlooked the mountain bike trail and silently cheered on the newbie mountain biker who kept trying a new turn. It was a great morning. Next time, I'll get a latte. The service was great too! Lots of eye contact and just the right amount of chatter. I'll be back!

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!
