Draft + Table

So tasty! We had lunch, and we really enjoyed all the food. The Dill Pickle Bloody Mary is 🔥. They also have a great beer list with some excellent local beers. We also tried the Reuben and the Monte Cristo, and we were very satisfied with the freshness! They were both packed full of flavor. We didn't really care for the small fried potatoes that came with them, because they were a little soggy. Service was fast and friendly! Great experience!

Lunch here is phenomenal! Our server Anastasia was very knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendations! This was very helpful as this is a new restaurant. We shared the shrimp cocktail. Which was fresh and delicate and beautifully plated. The duck and potato soup reminded me of my grandmother's chicken and dumplings. It was savory and well seasoned. For its namsake, Draft + Table has a wonderful draft menu. The ciders on tap rival places like the Flying Saucer. I had a blackberry cider that was fresh and smoky and palatable. I truly enjoyed lunch here and can't wait to try dinner! The service was exceptional!

We had plans to go to a different restaurant but they didn't had any tables available and walking the street looking for another option to eat, this place caught our attention and I'm very glad for that. The food was delicious! I really recommend it.

FIRST VISIT (3 days after opening):

Our server Renee was an absolute champion. Warm, friendly, and knowledgeable service and happy to share recommendations.

On this trip we tried "The Wally" (walleye sandwich), the "Spirit of America" burger, and the Armadillo Eggs appetizer (jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese, then wrapped in sausage and topped with blackberry cream).

The Wally sandwich: fish was cooked well, nice and flaky, good temperature. The garlic mayo and bacon jalapeño slaw were pretty bland though, which was surprising. The fries were nice and hot and super crispy.

The burger: standard burger, cooked properly.

Armadillo Eggs: not the most appetizing plating visually, but the sausage was DELICIOUS and nicely cooked and seasoned. The peppers had that great jalapeño flavor with just a touch of heat. I was personally a little disappointed that the filling was just plain cream cheese. A little extra seasoning in the cream cheese would have taken these from good to amazing.

The draft beer selection was top notch. Lots of Arkansas local stuff as well as some good offerings from around the country. We only tried a couple cocktails, but they were decent.

This review was written only a few days after they opened, so definitely a few kinks to work out, but overall excited to return and here's hoping they become a staple of Argenta's food culture!

SECOND VISIT (a week after opening):

Our server Kayla was an all star with the great suggestions, great service, and all around great vibe.

On this trip we tried the following apps: Chicken Fried Mushrooms, Reuben Rolls, and a bowl of French Onion Soup. The mushrooms were crispy with a flavorful white gravy and well seasoned. The soup was solid. The reuben rolls stole the show. I'd go back just for another round of those reuben rolls.

For entrees we tried: Italian Beef Sandwich, Fried Half Chicken, and the New York Strip steak. The sandwich was flavorful on a nice crispy baguette. The steak itself was phenomenal, one of the best I've had in town... the only negative was the plating was a little lackluster for a $40 entree, and the broccoli cheese orzo was a bit bland. I'm no chef, but it just seems like to my peasant's palate it'd be a lot prettier plate if the steak was plated on top of the orzo with the mushrooms on top and a nice green garnish to bring it all together.

But forget everything I just said, the half fried chicken was INCREDIBLE. I'd eat that every day until I died. Crispy, well seasoned, hot, juicy, on a bed of well seasoned mash that was just the right amount of mashed.

We tried more draft beers which were all great, and a few more cocktails which were overall good. While the first trip was good, the second trip was better. Can't wait for the third!

Our dinner was wonderful. Fried chicken and a shrimp po boy, best fries I’ve had in a long while. Dakota was our server and his recommendations for drinks and attention was fabulous! The draft wine and unique draft beer was a treat. The seasonal cider was as amazing.

We will be back. Thank you.
