Customer Reviews

"The lunch my dining companion and I had at North Bar was a mixed bag. On the plus side, all the waiters serving tables could not have been nicer and more solicitous. But on the minus side, we waited half an hour for our order, a chicken club sandwich with French fries and a Chinese chicken salad, to arrive. All around us were other tables waiting for food. When the table next to us was served, I heard the customer ask the waiter, "What's going on back in the kitchen? Why did this take so long?" He told her he didn't know, but there had been a large table to be served previously. The food: also a mixed bag. The grilled chicken on my Chinese chicken salad and in my dining companion's chicken club was very generous and well-cooked, tender and juicy. But the dressing served with my salad was unbelievably sweet, and when I tasted a bite of the chicken club, I found that it, too, was dressed with an extremely sweet mustard (and perhaps honey) dressing. Both dressings could easily have the sweetness toned down. Everybody's tastes differ, but once I know a restaurant features sugary sweet salad dressings and sandwich spreads, I tend to look elsewhere as I make my dining decisions."

"North Bar is awesome place we loved the atmosphere it was laid back and nice. I was excited because they have gluten free options. Enjoyed - the gluten free deep fried pickles and the I had the PB&J Burger w/gluten free buns and fresh fried (love them reminded me of in-n-out). Wife enjoyed the blueberry burger w/ gluten free buns Definitely going back"

"I've been to the North Bar multiple times, but failed to complete a review. The burgers are awesome and I try to get something different each time, including the drinks. I've gotten the Blueberry Bacon Burger with a Blueberry Infused Vodka Lemonade and another time I ordered a Salmon Sandwich, but I can't remember the name of the drinks. All were good."

"This is off the beaten path but a great little gem of a bar/ restaurant and the food and portions were off the chart! Our bartender Chandler was very attentive and informative withh all that was to offer and was very proficient with the menu and all our extra needs we requested. This is why this review gets 5 star review!!!!!"

"I had the peanut butter and jelly burger but choose the homemade blueberry marmalade instead of the grape jelly. T was amazing ! My husband had the balonga burger... be ready its huge. I would also recommend the Brussel sprouts appetizer. The place was clean and staff was great and friendly. I tried the Christmas margarita... get it. Its amazing. Bathroom was clean. Definitely would go back."

"This place came across my social media account because I'm vegan, so I decided to stop by. This was the worse customer service I've experienced in Arkansas. I wasn't greeted when I walked in and there was only one other customer in the restaurant. The 3 employees in the photo were standing at the bar talking to each other for a good 2-3 minutes while I'm holding my credit card out to pay before acknowledging me (so I decided to snap a picture) the only reason I gave 3 stars because the food was decent. I would not come back. I ordered the buffalo cauliflower wings and fresh cut fries."

"I just remember this place being so much better a few years ago. I used to eat here constantly when I lived closer. The burger was just soooo bland and dry. My kid pointed out that it looked like a frozen/pre-made patty. The buffalo wrap was watery from loads of cucumbers and the lettuce soggy...also bland. Honestly no one at the table cared for their meal much. I only ate a couple bites of mine. Server never came back for refill of my water. We just paid and went on our way."
