This was my first time eating at this restaurant. It did not disappoint. The salad bar was magnificent, the bone-in ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the service matched the goodness of the food. The salad bar had fresh ingredients and they kept it stocked. My side of mushrooms were amazing. The pecan encrusted salmon was great along with a well cooked massive baked potato. Give this place a try you will not be disappointed!

My wife's birthday we took a mosey into the steakhouse for the first time for us but the inlaws have frequented a few times I think . We got the dinner for two and the salad bar . The salad bar was pretty nice and had a lot of choices. I did notice there was not a lot of meat . (None) . The service was very good and our waiter was very attentive. The manager came by to check on us also , everyone was as nice as can be . The entree arrived with our steak and onion rings and I hate to say it was just mid . The rub on the steak had an aroma I could not get around and the steak was overcooked. We ordered medium and the farther you get from the middle it was done done and just tough. Rings were ok and the bread and butter was amazing. The atmosphere was really dark kinda like a nightclub lol but it was really really nice ! It wasn't cheap but I will give them another shot in the future! Almost forgot ! Get the fried rice ! The best by far !

You will not find a better steak house!! My husband made reservations for our anniversary & I am so glad he chose this place! We had the Chefs Special which included 10oz. Prime Filet with 4 shrimp, mashed potatoes, zucchini & one of the best salads from their salad bar- which is a meal itself!! Trey was an amazing waiter & so professional!

Delicious! Friendly staff, great service, and delicious food. The salad bar is great, the fried shrimp are huge and the baked potatoes, share they are huge. I had the 6oz filet mignon medium rare and it was delicious and cut like butter. Oh and they start with fresh yeast rolls.

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner there tonight. Great atmosphere. Excellent friendly waiter, managers were involved in making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Salad bar was wonderful. Bone in ribeye was the 2nd best steak in Arkansas, next to mine at home. Closed my eyes with every bite. Prime rib was perfect. Wine was a sweet red moscato that had no bitterness at all. They were so kind when they brought out an extra dessert for our anniversary. So many things were going on with my taste buds while eating the delicious dessert. Thank you for an amazing evening! I recommend dressing up nice and giving them a try. Literally best steak you can buy in Arkansas.

Excellent staff, from reservations through our server. 6:45 reservation, we were seated at 6:45. Our server was there as we were being seated and served with our water. She served hot rolls and butter as she explained the specials and answered questions about the menus. Salad bar was eminence with options! Our meal was served just before I could finish my large salad. 2 of the 3 of us selected Franks 2 for $60 special. 10 oz. shared Aged Filet, 4 large fried shrimp and 2 side items. We selected the football sized baked potato with any fixings and sautéed whole button mushrooms. 3rd person ordered Delmonico cut Rib Eye steak with oriental fried rice from Benni Hanna, Frank’s restaurant next door. Our experience and food was all excellent! For sure the best steaks anywhere in this region! Med. rare and Rare Steaks were spot on! We left with 2 to go boxes. Excellent experience and great Food! 2nd to none we have had anywhere else in Little Rock area. I would put it up against Ruth Christ Steakhouse easily!

My wife and I were in town from Dallas for a concert and had dinner at Riverfront Steakhouse. It exceeded all our expectations with its exceptional food and stellar service. The salad bar is large and offers a wide variety of fresh veggies. We started with the calamari which had the perfect amount of crunch and was very flavorful. I ordered the ribeye, cooked medium rare, and it was perfection on a plate—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. My wife opted for the pecan-crusted salmon, which she described as excellent, with a delightful crunch and perfectly balanced flavors. Our experience was further enhanced by our server, Chip, who was friendly and jovial, clearly passionate about his job. His attentiveness and enthusiasm made our meal all the more enjoyable. Riverfront Steakhouse offers a top-tier dining experience at an affordable price point that I wholeheartedly recommend. We can't wait to return!

Had reservations for on Saturday. Got here and was seated. The waiter was rushing us to place our order even though I had never been here before. We placed our order with appetizers. It took 40 minutes for our appetizers to come out. And 2 minutes later our plates came out. I ordered the surf and turf. The lobster tail was mush and the steak was hard and dry. When I told the waiter he said he was sorry and that they had a new chef. It took almost 30 minutes for my date to get her tequila. Then I waited for 10 minutes to pay the bill. You My bill was a little more than $230.00 for me and my date. I expected to pay around this amount but did not think I would get such bad service. We were both completely dissatisfied. Friends
