This place is amazing! Loved, loved, loved it. Wonderful service that really cares and makes you feel welcomed. The atmosphere is beautiful and lit just right for intimate dining. The food is seriously show stopping and we can’t wait to revisit this little gem. Such a great family owned business. Do yourself a favor and go treat yourself to a meal at Fred’s Hickory Inn.

We go here all the time and every meal and level of service is outstanding. Tonight my salmon entree was amazing, such high quality. Better than that were our servers Kelly & Modesto – both exceptional. Speedy but caring, knowledgeable and extremely focused on our toddler!! We ended up being able to have an extra wine and it was so lovely as they are amazing with kids. Thank you Kelly & Modesto – ask for them when you go!!

This is our second time here and each – an amazing experience! Tiffany was our waitress- very attentive and everything came out perfect in timing our food and drinks, we got Taste of Hickory Inn for 2 & Goat cheese fondue appetizer. Generous in portion for the price $$$ One final comment; the manager asked about our experience as leaving and that felt nice because they show how much they care about the experience.

The saga of Fred’s continues…
It’s been nearly four years since this legendary Bentonville supper club was temporarily shuttered by a fire. Upon reopening things just weren’t the same, not by a long shot. The rebuilding of the structure was fine but the food and staff barely resembled the old Fred’s. Finally things have begun to seriously turn around. I would urge anyone that wrote Fred’s off as a lost cause to give them another look.

On a recent visit we were greeted warmly and quickly seated. It was immediately obvious that our server was the kind of pro Fred’s used to regularly employ. I usually don’t mention names, even when the service is great, but Casey was quite possibly the best server we’ve had in Northwest Arkansas, and we’ve had some very good service locally. His knowledge of the menu, both food and drink, was impressive. Further he had extensive knowledge of Fred’s history and an obvious passion for his profession.

Fred’s is unique in that it’s calling card is smoked meats, especially ribs, combined with a relaxed fine dining atmosphere. In recent times this was one of the areas where Fred’s struggled; not anymore. The house-made sausage, pork and beef made for a terrific appetizer, The Fred’s Sampler. The Steak Salad was elevated to outstanding by the perfectly seasoned and grilled steak and wonderful house-made dressings. The Smoked Chicken with an accompanying Rib were off the charts, like I’d been transported to Fred’s circa 1971. The Cheesecake was a fitting end to an exceptional dining experience that I hope to soon repeat.

One word of advice; unless you are already a fan skip the spaghetti, this just isn’t an Italian restaurant.

Our book club meets here once a month. I’m usually happy with the food, but my fries were cold and I heard others say the same. It’s was disappointing.

It’s been three years and it is still amazing. Great food, excellent wait staff, and fine dining as expected. The cheesecake was homemade, and they had blueberry topping!

I don’t normally give one star.. in fact I Wish it would have gone differently. Our server was really good. She really tried to make things right but her manager was not interested.
We waited several minutes at the host stand. When no one showed up, we asked a waiter if we could it. He said the kitchen was closed but it was o my 8:40 and they close at 9. They still had live music. I think he thought it was later so no biggie. Then they told us to go to the host stand… said we have been waiting there for over 5 minutes so we were seeking help elsewhere. Finally seated but had to wait another 10 minutes for anyone to even say hi. We finally flagged down someone and said we have 5 minutes until the kitchen closed and so we really need to get our orders in. Our server came out and was quick to get the orders in. Food came out quick as well but my smoked chicken was basically chicken jerky. No meat on the Qing because so dried up. Meat was so dry you had to drown it in the bbq sauce or take it with a swig of beer. We were so hungry that I picked the meat out under the burnt skin and at as much as I could find. It was terrible. Gas station chicken is like 5 stars compared to this. I told the waiter and she said she’d take it off the bill. The manager came out and because I ate it gave some lame excuse that their supplier is t giving them good meat she overruled the waiter and left it on! Unless their supplier is smoking it, that’s not the problem. It was either super old and burnt or it was just left in the smoker too long and burnt or not was rehired and burnt. We paid the bill and left a decent tip but I just am so sad because it was one of my favorite restaurants and the experience was just yuck. My husbands food was good but he had a salad with steak on top of it.

Amazing Grace…. We had such a fantastic experience here! Our server was absolutely amazing — not only super attentive and professional, but also had a great sense of humor that made the night even more enjoyable.

The food was incredible — we tried the steak sandwich, The Bee Gees poutine, and the risotto, and every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. The drinks were just as impressive, with well-balanced cocktails that paired perfectly with the meal.

We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and top-notch service!

Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful steaks. Service was very attentive and pleasant. The smoked meats appetizer was a great sampler of their smoked menu.

Was a very enjoyable location to celebrate my anniversary, will definitely be going back.

This was another place we came too as a team of 8 post our golfing trip.

The server was lovely minus her questioning why I was the only woman at the table which made me very uncomfortable.

We had the ribs to share among the table, alongside the meatballs. I have to say the ribs were cooked to perfection – fell off the bone and the bbq sauce they came with were delicious. It was unfortunate that they only had one serving of the ribs to left and the next batch wasn’t going to be ready for another 1-2 hours.

I had the butter salmon with coleslaw and mushrooms as my main. the fish wasn’t as buttery as I thought it would be and a bit on the salty side – it tasted as of the salmon was marinated in salt vs butter. The coleslaw and mushrooms were delicious.

My colleagues all had steaks and were really disappointed with the cook (most got medium well and they came out medium raw or raw). Not a single person finished their stake because of the quality of it.

in all honestly everyone came here for the ribs so it was unfortunate that we only got one bone each.
