10. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers

Weâve always liked Red Robin, but this visit was especially enjoyable! This one is newer, and the dining room is decorated in a more modern fashion...more nods to digital media, more modern colors and design. We were greeted warmly upon entering; our table service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. The food was great also, as always. Being diabetic, I really appreciate the options that help keep sugar levels under control: lettuce wraps instead of buns, broccoli as a substitute for fries, etc. My wife and I, as crazy as it may sound, ordered the bottomless broccoli option and pigged out on the vegetable! Weâre hoping that atones for the chocolate shake! We also noted accommodations such as a lower sink in the restrooms. We live five hours from Benton; otherwise, my wife and I would be in this Red Robin frequently!
9. All Aboard Restaurant & Grill

This is a great stop with younger kids. The trains delivery system is fascination if not sometimes frightening. The food never falls, just gets scooped off at your table platform. Food quality is similar to a Sonic, but good enough to enjoy the whole experience. If you haven't been and have kids, go check it out.

Our family enjoyed our lunch and as the servings were more than adequate, had leftovers from the single turkey plate dinner to take home. The ribs were outstanding, very lean, so tender and full of flavor. The chicken Quesadilla was good. We had very good service from Kelsey. All in all, we were pleased and will return.

This is a huge buffet so expect food that has been sitting around for awhile and people have dished through. Lots of fried things. Lots of choices that are deemed "southern". Southern Arkansas maybe. So now we know as we travel past here 4-6 times a year. Mediocre at best.

When you enter the restaurant you notice right away itâs old. It was clean. You seat your self (booths or tables). The service was excellent. The servers were friendly and joked with the regulars. It was fun to listen to their happy banter. The coffee was fresh and perfect. The creamer and butter served with biscuits was Land of Lakes (quality). Our food was delicious. Easy on and off I30. Ample parking. This was a good find and we will definitely go back!We really appreciate this wonderful review you gave us here at Dan's I-30 Diner.We can't wait to see you again. Thank you

I like to patronize small town independents. Locals are nearly always friendly & appreciative. Salem Dairy Bar has survived all the surrounding commercial development & chains. An old-fashioned Cheeseburger, Onion Rings, & a Shake served with a smile & a âThank You!â will never go out of style.

Food is really good. Place is nice and clean. Service is usually really good. Either steak, salmon, chicken or burger and you can't go wrong. Salads are fresh and crisp and dressings are good. Rolls are hot and ready to butter. You really need to start your meal off with the fantastic Onion Tanglers that are so crispy with the most delicious dipping sauce. Only draw back is it all seems to arrive at the same time! I say draw back, we take what Tanglers we can't finish home with extra sauce and they heat up just fine in the oven so I guess it all works out! Oh steamed veggies are great too.
