    Excellent burgers and fries, this time I have tried the turkey club and onions rings, yes, to the turkey club, I would get the club again it was an excellent balance of meet and veggies on a buttery Texas toast. Tables are clean, advertised local business and adorable family photos everywhere for a homie feeling. Service is alway great and friendly, food is hot, fresh and tasty. Recommend popping in, if you can catch them open.

    Tuesday special Meatloaf. Burger, tots and side of fries.

    Amazing food! Fast and friendly service! Nice family restaurant atmosphere. Our 2nd visit, the first being last Tuesday. I already know what I'm going to try when we return next.

    Bacon cheeseburger without veggies

    Great family run business. Servers are very engaging. They make you feel like Family or a next-door neighbor. Ambience is typical 100year old building with some of its old charm. This was our first time there. It appeared that everybody was a local and a lot of people do each other. Food was typical good hamburger joint food.

    A Downtown Benton Tradition!!! Lunch @ Burger Shack is not to be missed!! From deluxe burgers to awesome plate specials you just can't go wrong! Save room for dessert!! Luke & Dara do it right!!

    This place is really cute. I don't know what it is, but walking in it just feels homey and welcoming. The interior is aged and has almost old wood bar (not the alcoholic sort), and all of the tables are adorned with local advertisements of different services in the area. The main area is sparsely decorated, but there are toy train tracks that go all around the room overhead. The menu is small but easy to read with reasonable prices and a good variety. They have several choices of hamburgers, along with a daily lunch special. The food was so good! I had the jumbo burger with just meat and cheese with Cajun fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries seasoned perfectly, and the portions were spot-on. My parents shared today's (Wednesday) special, the country-fried steak. They both agreed that it was delicious and easily could have downed the whole plate themselves (if they hadn't shared). My only complaint would be the spacing of the booths (because we sat in one). The distance from the table to both sides of the seating was immense. My son literally fell out of his booster seat while reaching for some food from his plate, which was on the table, because it was so far from the seat. I caught him luckily but it's not a good situation for toddlers. Best to keep them in a high chair if you have a small child with you. Overall, I recommend this place, it's great, has great prices, and is just homey and comforting. Definitely check it out if you're looking for somewhere new and local.

    A classic burger joint. The double cheese burger won't disappoint and the fries are great. Do yourself a favor and get a shake or float.

    Do they cook their hamburgers thouroughly- done in the middle?

    Cooked to order! Luke leaves mine a little pink but will cook yours how you like it. The owner is the cook & is on point.

The black male cook said, "I just want to see her take one bite". Like a creep. If they were going to poison the food then why charge her / us ? My cousin (female) paid for our meal. We ordered two bacon cheese burgers and little fries. $30. She has a hearing aid while I have PTSD. We haven't seen each other in a long time and wanted to sit down and eat, talk in peace. There was all people of color working that night. The female worker even came over to our table and asked how is everything as if she didn't know what was going on. Everything was caught on camera. I am reported their assault to the local police. Make sure you have COMPETENT workers make your food. IMMEDIATELY report anyone who tampers with or even jokes about tampering with your food. Why cook food if you're untrustworthy around food ? I, unfortunately had those who believe anything they see online, do not respect those with disabilities and support & condone narcissism / Narcissistic abuse, make our food. The area is too pleasant for anyone discriminatory or incompetent to be working there. Violence against women (and those with disabilities) is an unfortunate trend in Arkansas. It not only illegal, it is wrong. Our grandparents/older relatives were born and raised in Arkansas, I grew up coming to AR to visit family. So, this is unacceptable. Not everyone participates in online slander, bullying, harassment and assault, clearly Five Guys does.

    We are long time Gadwall's fans. Never really had a bad experience…read more Didn't have a bad experience today either until I got the bill. I understand costs have gone up for everyone but $14 for chicken fried steak is nuts. My wife and I had sandwiches for lunch. My wife's was $12. She had the club...it has bacon and all kinds of more expensive ingredients than my chicken fried steak sandwich. Idk. Restaurants are pricing themselves out. $30 before tip and we had chips and water. No fries. No apps. We will definitely go back it just won't be as often.

    Before our visit to Little Rock, we had found that the reviews of Gadwall's Grill mostly were very…read morestrong, and we found out why by dining there. In fact, we were so impressed that our group 'voted' unanimously to return there the next day!! The place was very clean, and the service was superb -- and, very importantly, the food was great!! Very well-prepared, tasty, and in very large servings! Our reuben, patty melt, foot-long chili/cheese/onion/slaw hot dog, and hamburgers were delicious - perhaps the best we have had!! Both onion rings and sweet potato fries MUST be tried!! And, don't forget the desserts!! The blueberry cobbler (three servings in our group!) was superb, and the fried pies most definitely are to be tried!!! This definitely is not a fancy place! It's an old-fashioned mom-and-pop type of place that appears to be doing what it has been doing for many years: providing amazing food and great service!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
