    I've had some great meals here, but was disappointed by the service and food prep this time around.

    Thank you for the taking the time to give your feedback to us, Graycen. It sounds like your experience definitely did not live up to our expectations across multiple aspects. We take a lot of pride in our food and in our service, so to hear that both fell flat is difficult. We appreciate your patronage over these many long years and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back into our space to give you the experience you deserve. All the best, Brittney Gaudet Director of Food and Beverage – The Hive @ 21c Museum Hotel

    Food was terrible for a 4 Star resteraunt. Burger was extremely under cooked as was the pork chop. No way a real chef let these plates out of the kitchen. Disappointed for the second time and will never go back.
    The Hive at 21cResponded on July 19, 2025
    Hi Wes, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear your recent visit didn’t meet expectations. Our pork chop is typically prepared to a medium temperature, and brisket can appear pink when cooked to temp—we apologize if this wasn’t clearly communicated. We understand your disappointment and regret missing the mark, especially on a return visit. Your comments will be shared with our team as we work to improve. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. If you would like to speak further about your experience you can reach me directly. Kind Regards, Brittney Gaudet Director of Food & Beverage 479.286.6586

    The food was delicious. It was hard to find due to construction in Bentonville. But worth the effort. We thoroughly enjoyed all of our food. The manager or the owner stopped by and talk with us and he was very friendly. I recommend eating here and I would definitely come back  eating here

    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.

    Thank you for such a glowing review, Terri! We are so appreciative of all of our guests for navigating this period of construction with us. We also looove this new Asparagus and Fennel Salad, and all of our other seasonal offerings. Did you know that we have the pleasure of getting a lot of produce hyperlocally, from just a few blocks away? You can really taste the love and commitment that goes into these delicious vegetables. The Hog Chop, of course, is a winner, and has been since the beginning, but it's always a pleasure seeing our lovely guests agree! We could not be more pleased to get to serve you, Terri, and we hope to see you again soon (with friends!). Cheers, The Hive Team
