Great burgers and chili cheese fries! They also have fried pies that were really good as well. The staff was very friendly and did a great job! The prices were very fair and reasonable. I would definitely return here!

Main review is for the food. The fries seem decent but the rest is just… what I imagine you could get at any generic cafeteria in high school. Definitely doesn’t feel like a substantial burger either for the price.

Being from the Tulsa area I have been eating at Ron’s Hamburgers pretty much all my life!
For the first time I had something that wasn’t just right.
The cole slaw!! I think they forgot to add the seasoning or enough salad dressing. 🙂 Very dry! Maybe it was just made and hadn’t set long enough!
But I love all their food! It doesn’t matter what location you go to, you always know what you’re going to get! So so good!

Had the chili quart delivered. It did not come with any of the toppings as shown in the picture and described on the menu. The chili was also bland, especially without any toppings. The sweet potato fries were raw and hard. Would not recommend this place.

Arriving on Valentine’s night we were super hungry. Took a quick look at (a less than clean) menu, in a restaurant that looked about to be a 6 once inside, if rated for cleanliness. Definitely a ‘burger joint’ feel to it.
My sister and I each ordered a patty melt on texas toast. That said, every occurence of the word Texas was blacked out on the menu – which should have been our first clue. We ordered a side of chili cheese fries; we ordered a plain hot dog and a tater tot upgrade for my grandson. Drinks were 2 diet Dr. Peppers.
1 patty melt was ordered with grilled onions and mustard – it came with cheese. 1 patty melt was ordered with mayo, grilled onions, cheese. Even though pickles weren’t served on/with the sandwiches we both asked for ‘pickles’ to be added.
First out were the chili fries with cheese. They weren’t very hot and the cheese wasn’t melted, except around the edges. The chili was swimming in grease. While in a place that looks like this, I might have expected some ‘grease’ and even enjoyed it – this was overkill.
When the sandwiches arrived we were both actually very surprised and disappointed. The sandwiches didn’t look appealing AT ALL! The bread was EXTREMELY soggy – limp even – and even though one could argue whether it was the classic thicker bread (it was not) as in TEXAS toast – it was definitely NOT toasted. It merely looked like toast lines were painted on (haha!) – it was soggy. The waitress disappeared to go get a side of mayo (mine barely had any mayo on it), so my sister and I debated the pros and cons of sending food back (and what could happen if we did); or asking for & waiting for new food – we were very hungry.
There were no pickles at all on my patty melt either, so I had to wait for the waitress to return & then ask for, and bring my pickles – maybe another 5-6min. When she returned, she did ask if she could have them make something else, but we decided no. We inquired about the condition of the Texas toast – and she insisted this was texas toast. We tried to explain our problem with it – showed her the bread – she didn’t see anything wrong with it, but insisted this was how they serve Texas toast. We could not make any headway with her at all. But by then the meal was a disaster anyway. I did try to dip my sandwich in the chili to ‘doctor it up’ but that failed, as well.
The hot dog bun was super soggy – even without anything on it! And the upgraded tater tots looked like they were freezer burned and barely baked – or fried, which is what the check-out hostess insisted they do to them.
Overall, we left nearly 1/3 of the fries and the bread. Had it not been already late and on Valentine’s Day, had we not been very hungry, we would’ve left when the food was delivered.
The last affront, and really what seals the deal for me, is that when I went to the register to pay the $23+ bill, the young woman asked me how my food was – she didn’t look at me – I said awful. It was really terrible. She looked up and said “Oh, I thought you were kidding.” I assured her I was not, that it was one of the worst meals I’ve eaten out in Bentonville. She said she was sorry I didn’t enjoy the meal. She did ask what was wrong – and I tried to explain everything I wrote above, but she was ‘sorry’ I didn’t like the food – she assured me plenty of other people did. She also told me the same mantra about how they serve the toast and tate r tots. At LEAST, she could’ve offered me something. NOTHING. I will not return and for sure, I will never recommend. Too bad. My first experience there a couple years ago was good.

Ordered a Sausage Burger, chilli, and Spanish Okra (which I was told was Okra grilled with onions & Jalapeños).
When I initially got my order, it was wrong. There was No Spanish Okra but tots instead. Returned the bag, waited a good long time, and was given the bag again (same bag, now torn open and leaking grease every where). Chilli was an extreme loose bowl of grease. Burger was smashed, and not just the patty, but bun was a mess. Most cheese was now melted to paper wrapper. You would think a sausage burger would be juicy….NOT….it was very dry and tasteless. While I waited for the correction I heard a waitress yell back to the grill “# 35 is supposed to have grilled onions”. It must have been mine, as you can see in pic grilled onion & Jalapeño was thrown on top of fried okra at the last minute, not grilled with the okra.
One of the WORST meals I have EVER Experienced. RUN FROM RON’S RUN.

Been coming here almost every Wednesday before church for 1.5 years. There’s a reason why we keep returning. You will not find better prices in this area and the food is fantastic. Just simple American dining with extremely friendly staff and a laid back atmosphere. I can feed a family of 6 for under $30. Find ANYWHERE in this area that can say the same. Get the chili!
We love Ron’s.

Service was fast and friendly even though the place was packed during the lunch rush. I ordered the double cheeseburger and a side of chili cheese fries. The food was excellent! As other reviews have mentioned, the chili was a little watery but that’s not an issue IMO. The texture of the chili is a result of the style of chili, it’s not a mistake. It was full of flavor and I’d highly recommend it. The griddle cooked patties were a little on the small side, but they were in good proportion to the amazingly soft bun. The menu had quite a few options. I look forward to going back and trying some of the them. I’d give Ron’s 5 stars if the price was more in line with its competition. I paid $17 for my meal and I’ll do it again because it was really good, but it still felt a little over priced.

The flavor of the food is really good. I would expect a little bit better then a McDonalds size Patty for $4.95 I also ordered a large Spanish french fries with cheese jalapenos and onion. I love the fact that it was fresh potato fries super cheap for the restaurant but super good for customers. I really love the fries but for $6.95 they could give you a little bit more toppings than we had. This place is just a simple hole in the wall Diner that is clean and well-kept. I will recommend this place to my friends but I’ll also let him know that they are going for the flavor not the amount of food for the money. But this place gave out a little bit better portions I would have gave it 5 stars.

We’ve been coming to Ron’s for years, and the quality and taste has not changed.
Kids eat free everyday after 3, so that’s a plus.
Service is always good, we’ve never had an issue that hasn’t been solved, promptly and professionally, even during a lunch rush.
We’ll look forward to coming here for years to come, and eating the best chili cheese fries around.
