The Kitchen at The Preacher’s Son is led by Neal Gray- a native of Arkansas with tenures at Stone Barns in NY and The French Laundry in Napa. We feature Local, Sustainable, Farm to Table cuisine, friendly and professional service paired with cutting edge cocktails and a deep wine list. The Preacher's Son offers stunning stained glass windows by George Dombek, garden patio seating, a rooftop bar and a fine speakeasy - Undercroft Bar.

In 1849, John Ruskin wrote The Seven Lamps of Architecture which spread Gothic Revivalism across the western world. In 1904, that same style is used for the First Christian Church in downtown Bentonville. We proudly connect these moments at The Preacher’s Son.

Come join us for a memorable night!

    The service was impeccable. Our group of 4 is still talking about the food! Each of us found ourselves comparing our subsequent dinners in Bentonville to our experience at Preacher's Son and decided we should have saved Preacher's Son for last out of fairness to some other really good restaurants. Wish I lived closer so we could go more often.

    We have tried for years to have a chance to eat at Preacher's Son and it was well worth the wait. It more than exceeded our expectations and was hands down the best meal we had while visiting the Bentonville area the weekend of October 26. The spiced rum cocktail had just the right notes for fall and the delicata squash appetizer with whipped feta definitely elevated the humble squash. The monkfish with romesco, walnuts and cauliflower had my husband raving. If you have room, the ice cream with a butter brickle sauce was decadent. It was a nice finish to our lovely weekend!

    Preacher's Son is a beautiful building with great ambiance. The service was terrific- other than the waitstaff letting me know that I ordered her favorite meal. Food was delicious. Noise level was horrendous- we opted to get dessert elsewhere because we had had enough music and loud talk. I would go again at a later time when it will be less crowded.

    We had a great experience. Drinks were all delicious and unique. If you like the standard stuff they’ll make that too. Food was good. Best was a seared/grilled fish that had a great char on it. The shrimp and grits was soso because we’re from Louisiana and shrimp is always seasoned and grilled for this dish, and these were steamed. Grits were tasty. Pork chop was nicely portioned but not as flavorful as the tasty cabbage underneath. One member of our group got the whole fish branzino and said it was good. Mostly had a great server who was happy to listen to our jokes and we were all in love with the church ambience and beautiful dining room. We would go back and try a steak dinner next time.

    The service was excellent. I enjoyed an excellent cocktail--Somewhat Wicked. The appetizers we ordered were delicious--I had roasted beets and my husband had the burrata. The branzino was good but disappointingly difficult to eat because the green beans and threads of potatoes were heaped on top of it on a too small plate. The 3-cheese truffle gnocchi needs a rethink. It was bland, almost devoid of texture, heavy, and boring.
