We had a delicious dinner at the Hive this last week. I made our reservation the night before via Open Table and was happy that we had no wait to be seated. We did have to get through some construction outside the building but it didn't affect our dining experience. We ordered the Wild Hog to split and soup and salad to start (also to split). Bread and butter was brought to the table and a nice way to open . Our soup was curried cauliflower, not my husbands favorite flavors, but I thought it was delicious (it could have been just a bit warmer), then we had a Fennel and asparagus Salad - it was AMAZING! Such a great combo of flavors and the dressing was a perfect compliment. The Berkshire Hog Chop was delicious, cooked perfectly - couldn't have said more and it was a decent amount to split. Lastly I couldn't pass up the Meyer Lemon Ice Cream - again, I was very happy with the flavor and although we weren't going to share, it was plenty. The meal ended with complimentary green apply cotton candy lol - I loved it. We recommended it to our friends and will return next visit to Bentonville.

About the restaurant

Come enjoy a delicious meal right off the wood fire grill! We are located right in the heart of the historic Fayetteville square, and welcome you to join us for an incredible meal in an inviting, lively atmosphere. Our kitchen uses only select mesquite wood to insure every item has just the right amount of smoky flavor. For a grilled lunch or dinner, we offer classic steaks from ribeye to filet mignon as well as a few outside of the box items like lamb chop lollipops and jalapeño-stuffed quail breast. We also have sandwiches, salads, soups, and house-made desserts.

About the Building

Built in 1911, this historic building began its important role in the Fayetteville community as the city Post Office. In 1974 it was saved from demolition by a citizen-led petition, and gained National Historic status. We are honored to continue the tradition of bringing people together and celebrating the citys history in the beautiful Old Post Office.
