Hail Fellow Well Met - Springdale

An incredible experience and a thoroughly surprising one. Chef Roger’s “Hail Fellow Well Met” is a sensation that will no doubt be a jewel in the crown of the North West Arkansas Area. It is now a point of pride to take people to such an exquisite restaurant one that can compete and perhaps excel farther than any in the area or even surrounding states. The food is simple in its presentation and dazzlingly complicated bite after bite. The pork croquette had a texture similar to 肉鬆 with a taste of Korean spicy chili paste paired with the perfect balance of avocado. The masa dip was far too sweet and had almost the taste of bile however the chips it was served with were exceptional. The entrees were flawless especially the vegetarian ones—I would say the vegetarian ones outshined all others— and the desserts were shockingly good. Modern restaurants of course neglect dessert entirely resulting in a rather mediocre experience but HFWM has outpaced and outshined even some of the best patisseries and creameries. The service was exceedingly slow taking well over 20 minutes to receive even a round of drinks and the kitchens expediting has a bit to be desired taking almost 30 minutes between courses. But it is all well worth the wait and at price that was too shockingly affordable to be believed. A perfect 10/10 will be returning in mass and at any available chance

Our first time there did not disappoint. We followed the recommendations of our servers for each course, and loved it. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was unique. The ambient music was somewhat loud in the dining area, but that is just a personal preference.

I loved Kate(sp) she did a great job explaining our experience. Chef Eric was as welcoming and gracious as his food!

Had a fantastic time. Starters and cocktails were on point. Timing of service was excellent. I'll be back.

Beautiful space and appointments. Music level was a little loud for our earlier dining time when it was less busy. Service was deft and unobtrusive, drinks well curated, and menu offered a focused list of offerings with any choices to appeal to different tastes. Not inexpensive, but worth it for a special occasion-appreciated the good quality complementary champagne for our wedding anniversary. Convenient to all of NWA off I-49, north of Fayetteville.
