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 !

What a great venue. Our waiter was attentive without being over bearing. I had the strawberry beet salad, it was delicious. My husband had the Bibb lettuce salad and he said the greens were very fresh with just the right amount of dressing. The Branzino fish was awesome! It tasted fresh and the sauce did not overpower. Strawberry ice cream and chocolate pudding were great. Two missteps, the chicken was undercooked, although the sauce was awesome, and our entrees came out before we finished our salad (the waiter said the cook wanted our full order and would course out the meal). I would go again.

Highly recommended. This was probably our fourth or fifth visit. We always eat at Preacher’s Son when we’re in town. Only drawback is the background noise.

It was a really strange crowd eating here. It didn't look like a crowd that would enjoy the type of food on the menu. When it become "okay" to wear ball caps in a nice restaurant? It basically ruined the experience of the coolness of the setting and the great menu. "Smart casual " listed as the dress code for this place should mention no ball caps, tee shirts, athletic attire etc. We loved the experience, but wouldn't dine here since the crowd looked like they should be in a sports bar!

3 out of 4 meals were excellent but the 4th entree not up to the Preacher’s Son standards. The mussels were sandy. So wish the acoustics were better, too, but it’s still a fun place to dine.

We shared the beet salad. Lovely fresh strawberries and a tasty dressing. Then we had the mussels. Outstanding. And the mahi mahi. Delicious. The passion fruit pie was the perfect ending. And our friendly server was spot on with wine suggestions.

If you enjoy a little space to yourself when you eat and do not like community seating or people watching you eat this place is not for you! Food was top notch however! Drinks very pricy. $15 for a regular gin and tonic. $20 with tax and tip.

We had three cocktails, and each was a home run. Imaginative, complicated and well-balanced. Kitchen was also great. Fresh New Brunswick oysters on the half shell. Mussels cooked in a bouillabaisse were fantastic. So many places over cook mussels. These were perfect - sweet, plump and moist. Good wine list with affordable options. The setting in an old church is quite striking. The prices are towards the high end, but appropriate for the quality of food, service and ambiance. Will go back the next time I’m in town.

We have dined here twice. Both times the food was a mix of pretty good and not so good. Last night the wife liked her endive salad and pork rigatoni a lot. My beet and strawberry salad had a very sour pickled onion mixed in with the good stuff. And the entree was a piece of seared but otherwise raw mahi-mahi floating in a bowl of watery peas with some potato chips on top. Not real appealing.

Both our appetizers were flavorful and especially fulfilled my desire for different textures and strong flavors. The rigatoni, again, checked the boxes of different textures and full of flavor. My husband, who is quite the fish connoisseur, thought the whole branzino was cooked to perfection with the sauce being just right with the capers. To end the meal, the coffee chocolate pudding was the perfect size to share and was especially creamy.

Preachers Son is truly one of the most exceptional dining experiences I’ve encountered. Every time I go I am floored, absolutely blown away. It’s the only place I’ve been that I’ve paid give or take $100/person that I’ve thought was worth every penny. I’m a foodie and if you are too, it’s a must.
