Prelude Breakfast Bar (Bentonville)

"30 minute wait turned into 40. Before being seated we were told they ran out of pancakes. Servers seemed distracted and the manager was running around confused. Go to Fayetteville because quality and service has always been 100 times better."

"The food was really good except they don’t have coffee drinks only drip. On top of that they don’t offer decaf. Hopefully with the size of the bar they have they will be able to get an espresso machine. Food was good, would like to see some healthier and gluten free options though."

"Wonderful breakfast spot downtown Bentonville. First time in and we both got a pancake flight: lemon goo, coffee cake, and this is sin(bacon, caramel, cinnamon butter). All excellent and unique flavors, but “this is sin” was our favorite. Jaye, the owner, was warm and passionate and was lovely to talk to. They’ve implemented a new business model that uses a service charge instead of tips in order to pay the whole staff professional wages, not just front of house servers. It’s a great model and we hope more restaurants follow suit. Looking forward to eating here again!"

"I have eaten here once and the food was good, but the service was slow which was surprising considering we were the first guests. Today we showed up later and were told we had a 30 minute wait. 52 minutes later we left without being seated. We watched 4 tables be cleaned very slowly and 1 party get seated. The party that was seated was still without food when we left and they had been seated for 20 minutes at least. The atmosphere looks nice, but it’s hard to get comfortable with people waiting to be seated standing all over the place."

"Absolutely incredible breakfast food! If you’re thinking about going, do it! Be prepared to wait a bit though, nothing can really be done because it’s a small place that’s new and popular but the food is absolutely worth it. I had Da Mornin Skillet and the Coffee Cake Pancake and let me tell you they were incredible, the pancake might honestly be the best pancake I’ve had in my life! The skillet had super soft potatoes and perfectly cooked eggs with tons of flavor and it was very filling. Staff was very nice and trying their best to get everyone seated and fed!"
