Arthur’s Prime Steakhouse

One of the best restaurants in Little Rock. The steaks are superb as well as the tuna and salmon. I love the desserts! Arthur’s also has a wonderful selection in vegetable side dishes and salads.

I see that the stars aren’t a 5 and I am sure they had their reason for a down vote. I couldn’t have asked for a better evening.
I had the T-​bone with a side of mashed potatoes after starting with the Mission salad. They even have ginger beer! For me that is a huge indication that I want to come back.
Laura was my bartender/​server and she was so engaging. We talked drinks, our backgrounds, and a myriad of other topics.
Jerry the owner came out to introduce himself and that was a wonderful touch.
Must go place.

Food was fabulous, service was even better. We went for dinner and had: calamari, filet, bone in ribeye, creamed spinach, broccoli casserole, and carrot cake.
Calamari– crisp, fresh, sauce was just spicy enough.
Filet– nice crust on the outside, so tender. Ordered it medium plus, and was definitely under. I didnt mind though.
Ribeye– husband loved it, bone in made it very flavorful.
Creamed spinach– much more cheesy than expected, but definitely am not complaining!
Broccoli casserole– good, broccoli was a little overcooked.
Carrot cake– phenomenal! moist and flavorful.
Service was AWESOME. Our server was the fillipino man, and he was hilariously funny and attentive. He made us feel like we were eating dinner at his house. We didnt have cash to tip the valet so we asked our server if there was an ATM. He said, «I can just give you some cash, how much?» Im like WHAT? who does that?! He was just awesome. I think we may have to become regulars here.
Dinner: $ 195
tip: $ 50

Amazing staff that you expect add a find steakhouse such as this one. A great selection of cuts and dreams to go along with them. My fillet was cooked appropriately and tasted great. They bring you a steak knife of your choosing. The desserts were all so delicious. The atmosphere is also above-​average here: you truly feel like you’re in a an old-​fashioned steakhouse. It’s decorated with lots of stained wood and classic items.

All I can say is do your research before embarking on this place. You may just be surprised to learn a thing or two!

High prices for high taste! You get what you pay for. The food here is excellent. The words that came out of my mouth every time I took a bite of something on my plate were those words one usually only hears in the bedroom over some good… (Sleep ha ha). But seriously!!! OMG. Holy hell. Oh yes! I want more! This is a good place for special occasions if your money does not grow on trees. Well worth the experience and the pleasure of getting to taste this chefs food. The steak melts in your mouth the flavors are superb. I could not have been more pleased with everything. When the bill came out I about fell out of my chair as I tell my date so innocent and sweet like «oh you shouldn’t have done this or spent that much». But in my mind I was sure glad they did and I cannot wait or I would love to go back again and again. Yes please!

Incredible atmosphere and steak. Owner visited table on many occasions to talk and check on our dinner. If you are visiting Little Rock don’t leave until you have a bone in filet at Arthur’s you will be glad you made the trip!

Had a really great meal. My filet was the best I have had in a long time. Very comfortable place. You can be casual or fancy, but the food is what counts and it was superb. Key lime pie and sorbet was excellent.

Let me just start by saying wow. Even the salad was great. The whipped honey butter was a nice touch for the bread. The Cesar salad dressing was excellent. I had the bone in ribeye and the marbling was amazing. The sides were large enough for 4 people easily. Again all I can say is wow.

Special event — check
Not eaten all day — check
Valet parking? — sure, why not
I always get excited when it is time to eat steak, no exception here. You go to Arthur’s when you want amazing service (seriously though, it is great), dark wood, comfy chairs and steak.
Drink at the bar… needed more gin, couldn’t help but note it was measured quite precisely. Put the shot glass down and pour, if you give me 1.75 oz and my drink is a little more «pine-​needly» I am way happier. Tips grow exponentially to the amount of spirit in my glass.
1. The steak — Waygu sampler #7, rare plus (tough to pull off, but usually, if a steak is screwed up it is over and I can handle mid-​rare). The prime filet was over, living somewhere between mid rare and medium, fogiven because I could still cut it with a fork. The Waygu… PERFECT RARE +. Worth every bit of the price tag. Great sear, nice seasoning on the outside, great temp all the way through. If you haven’t tried Waygu in the past, just do it next time you are out, it will ruin you for other steak.
2. Apps — Baked brie = amazing, Carpaccio pretty good, I could have used a little more balsamic drizzle, Calamari are huge needed a little extra seasoning, but were still really good when dipped in the sweet (not so) spicy sauce. The kicker here, the free bread coated in whipped honey butter… BOOM.
3. Sides — if you haven’t had the mac N cheese then you are missing out. Yes, I know, thats what kids eat, well kids know what they are doing. I wanted to order some to take home with me… just get it. Truffle fries, needed a touch more truffle, but I didn’t care too much because they were all cooked perfectly, no hidden soggies. Creamed spinach… well everyone at the table destroyed it, a little too creamy for me, but I am told it was good and I don’t know what I am talking about, which is true.
The brussle sprouts get their own paragraph. These are the kind of sprouts that can change your paradigm of what a brussel sprout is. Of course the pancetta does it, but they were cooked perfectly throughout, not soggy and they didn’t smell like farts. I ate 5 of them, which is 4 more than I have ever eaten in the past. They were excellent.
Finally, the soufflé… Gran Marnier of course. Great, «eggy», fluffly, the house made whipped cream is rivaled only by the Waygu and mac N chesse. A few rogue granules of sugar at the bottom of the dish, but I only found this out because I was scraping all of it into my mouth. If you are still eating molten chocolate cake you are doing it wrong, you don’t follow a steak of that caliber with a chocolate cake. Step up to soufflé and be pleased (or bread pudding, because bread pudding)

My fiancé and I always look for a good steakhouse. We tried Arthur’s on my birthday and I was really impressed with the service from the time I stepped foot in the door. They had noted it was my birthday and I was greeted with a «happy birthday». Our waiter was great, the food was good, sides were delicious, and the owner was amazing. He came over to our table, wished me a happy birthday, brought a free, delicious dessert, and made sure we enjoyed our experience. The service was just fantastic and worth the time spent that evening.

Had an enjoyable meal last night at Arthur’s. The service, by Tabitha, was excellent! The calamari appetizer was good as well as the USDA filet. If it was the least expensive for $ 41, then I can imagine how superb the more pricey Kobe steaks would be. The sea bass was OK but not as great as the filet. What I would not order again would be the, way too sweet, French onion soup and the mediocre onion rings. Tabitha surprised us with a celebratory vanilla cream brûlée specially decorated with happy anniversary wishes. Our meal came to $ 194 plus change which included a $ 35 tip for Tabitha. Will probably not return but we did enjoy our night at Arthur’s!

I’m usually not one to write reviews but this place is not worth the money and the more that I think about the experience the more frustrated I get. We went on valentine’s day and they converted back area rooms that were normally used for drink service/​tray prep into a seating area for us. I should have walked out then and there but I decided to give them a chance. My g/​f ordered the lobster bisque which was luke warm. Then we received our steaks and those were also luke warm. Really cannot justify the prices this place charges. In all honesty the steaks at outback are better than these.
Don’t waste your money.

Went there tonight with the group. The food was pretty good not nearly as good as the owner thinks. The steak is actually pretty wonderful. The service however is a different story this is truly the worst service I’ve ever had in a nice restaurant in my life. Would never even think about going back

The only reason I gave this a 2 star rating is because the food was actually really delicious. The service on the other hand was ridiculous. I took my husband here for a romantic birthday dinner and by the end we thought we were on a hidden camera show! The waiter was extremely rude to us. Examples: He questioned my husband’s wine selection. And when he brought out our drinks he made and under the breathe comment about having to open a new bottle just for him. Then I asked for my steak to be well done. The waiter pointed at me and looked at my husband and says «is she serious?» Now he questions how I want my steak prepared?! This was like this all night… he also didn’t care for our choice of sides. I expressed my frustration and said I am paying for this meal and we live in America where we are free to make our own choices. I was just in shock by the whole experience!
I will say the food was delicious and the place is good for a nice date night. But man… beware of the snobby waiter… sure wish I knew his name. He ruined the whole experience. Sad cause it was enough that I won’t be back.

Food: Excellent.
Arthur’s Filet is excellent and is a good choice.
French Onion soup is a bit too sweet for my taste. I’ve never had «sweet» onion soup. Not bad but I’d rather have the more traditional taste.
Service:
The staff was kind, courteous, and attentive. Only issue I had was it took over an hour to get our entrees out from time of order.
Cost:
Expensive. You are paying for the quality food.

Not sure why this restaurant has only 3 stars bc it’s actually one of the best steakhouses in Little Rock. (I’ve tried Sonny’s in downtown and I’d prefer Arthur’s. I’ve also dined at Alexander’s Steakhouse in California that’s a michelin star restaurant and the bone in filet is to die for here at Arthur’s.)
My favorite dishes (which I need to venture out from but can’t bc it’s that good.)
Mansion Salad: Tasty and I love the figs & strawberry. not to mention the goat cheese!
Bone in Filet: Made with perfection. Delicious and I can’t wait to eat more!
Creamed Corn: Son doesn’t let us eat any of it bc he eats it all up!
String Beans (we order it steamed w/​no salt or pepper): Daughter eats those up :)
Mac & Cheese: Delicious.
The owner, Jerry is the nicest man. He definitely knows how to run a business and has great customer service. He knew my kids were waiting for the dessert cart the fist time we dined there and gave them a bowl of ice cream. That was really sweet of him. The 2^nd time he gave them some mac and cheese to try since we always just order cream corn and string beans. I couldn’t get enough of the mac and cheese. He just made my selections more difficult to order now bc I want everything.
Also, the bus boy Charlie was really nice and was working really hard, running around everywhere and making sure everyone was doing ok. So thanks Charlie!
I’ll be coming back and sorry folks if I eat up all the bone in filets…

My mom and I were in Arkansas for a cousins high school graduation so we wanted to treat her to a nice dinner so this restaurant was one of the first places that popped up on the internet so we decided to give it a shot!
It’s a very elegant place, the décor is lovely and intimate, it’s a little bit too cold inside the restaurant for my personal liking, so be sure to bring a sweater if you don’t like freezing air conditioning!
Our waiter was very nice but it literally took almost ten minutes for us to get water– we were dying of thirst! We finally ordered drinks and after waiting ten minutes our server came back without the drinks and took our order for appetizers and told us our drinks were coming soon– kind of confused on why it would take so long to get two glasses of wine and a soda! we ordered the lumptini which is a jumbo lump crab martini and the shrimp cocktail!
We ended up getting our appetizers before our drinks… Finally, not to long after, my mom and cousin got their drinks, but I still had yet to get mine… We finished our appetizers before I got my first drink which was really annoying to me that I had to wait that long, it’s not right and utterly ridiculous and flat out BAD SERVICE! My family and I always like to enjoy drinks before we eat and always toast so this kind of just soured our mood for the evening!
We weren’t impressed with the lumptini at all, we have definitely had better jumbo lump crab, we told the owner or manager when he asked how we liked it and he immediately took it off our bill which was really nice of him, he honestly didn’t have to do that but he did! The shrimp cocktail was good but I’ve definitely had better!
Our waiter was nice but also at the same time not really… He kind of had an attitude and made things feel complicated! We asked him to take a picture of us and he completely disregarded us and someone from the next table over saw that and got up and offered to take the picture!
For my dinner I just had a Caesar salad which was good and some grilled asparagus which I liked! My mom got a wedge salad and the lamb, she wasn’t too impressed with the salad and wasn’t impressed at all with the lamb, she said it was a little bit overlooked and didn’t have much flavor to it! My cousin got the ribeye and she really loved, she also got a side of the mac n cheese and my mom and cousin both agreed that the Mac n cheese was probably the only good tasting thing they had all night!
For dessert they bring a little trolley around with all of their amazing items! the desserts all look so delicious! My mom and cousin shared the white chocolate crème brûlée and they both loved it! I finished my night with some chamomile tea!
Our bill was very expensive, no problem for us but we should at least be somewhat impressed and happy with our experience if were paying that much! This restaurant was definitely not worth paying an almost $ 300 meal for, it wasn’t all the great in regards to the food and service and was kind of unprofessional, it was actually terrible service the more I think about it! Not attentive what so ever and always took forever to get us an item or refill on drinks!
This place wasn’t horrendous but I would definitely not recommend coming here! I’m sure there are way better steakhouses in Arkansas

I will bet my life savings on this review.
This place has THE BEST filet we have ever eaten.
The owner has a supplier that provides the BEST Wagyu and Kobe the world can offer.
No joke folks, I am not BSing you.
M7 and M11 Kobe is worth each expensive penny you will ever spend.
We have eaten at the best places in NYC, LA, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago, Australia, New Zealand and all around the world. Tom Colicchio, Gordon Ramsey, Peter Luger and the like cannot compare what is sitting in Little Rock.
I am serious. We are transients in Little Rock for one year. We have eaten at every «nice» place in Arkansas. Hands down, by far, without comparison… the best place in LR. Best filet ever.
If you live in LR, progress to epiphany. Start with Arthur’s Prime filet ($ 40). It is better than most filets you will ever have.
Progress up the ladder to Wagyu on your next visit. Then when you are sold on it, for your anniversary or «special» date, try the M7/​M9/​M11 if you are lucky enough to have it available when you go (it is in limited quantity).
If for any reason you are not happy, ask for the owner Jerry.
This man is proud of his place and your amazing experience is his priority.
Ashleys, Cache, Savoy 1620, Sonny Williams are NOTHING compared to here. The atmosphere is classy, the service is attentive and the food is consistently perfect.
If it is not, complain and it will be corrected. We just watched the owner tell a customer who asked for a medium well (?!?) ribeye that was not to her liking that he would replace her meal, charge her nothing or personally cook a filet to her liking. That was genuine behavior that defines this place. If the waiter or waitress fails you, he will demand accountability for their professionalism and would not maintain on his staff if they are inappropriate.
He has many members of his staff that have stood by his side for years. There is always a busy night and «off» service or food in any place… but identify it, ask for the owner to address it and you will walk out with faith in «the customer is always right» (even if you are not).
This is as good as it gets LR.
Go try it. Work your way up and you will see why we have been there 10 times and love the consistency.
Arthur’s filet medium rare, lobster tail, mac n cheese and a dark chocolate crème brûlée. Thats our meal, promise you will love it.
Amazing place that we love. Try it.
You wont be disappointed.
We love Jerry. Great work man. You define great food!

Came here for a lunch reception. The restaurant was closed for our private event of about 30 guests.
There was a buffet that included breads, salads, lasagna, chicken, pork loin, green beans, cheesy potatoes, cheesecake and mousse. What stood out most were the chicken, cheesy potatoes and the desserts.
The staff provided outstanding service and tended to everyone needs. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall off the main highway with ample parking. There is a restaurant area and a separate bar/​lounge area.
