Feedback
The Venetian Inn, a longstanding dining staple since 1947, has stirred up contrasting opinions among patrons. While some praise the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, numerous reviews lament a decline in food quality. Former favorites like the renowned bone-in fried chicken have been replaced, leading to disappointment among long-time fans. Diners describe lackluster salads and overcooked pasta, though a few dishes, such as spaghetti and chicken parmesan, have garnered commendations. As new management continues to shape the menu and dining experience, guests remain hopeful for a return to the Inn's former culinary glory.
While the menu seems familiar, the quality of the food has drastically changed. The ambiance feels lackluster, and both the service and the overall food quality have fallen far short of what once made this place great. The rolls were still pretty good, though they arrived only after we had finished our entrees. The salad was decent as well. However, the signature bone-in fried chicken has been replaced by chicken fingers, and the steaks no longer resemble the hearty, flavorful dishes that used to draw in crowds for over an hour, contributing to the restaurant's fame. It’s hard to fathom how a place known for offering roast chicken breast could run out of their bone-in fried chicken on a Saturday night. I can only imagine how disappointed former owners of this once-great establishment must feel.
A new generation of the family has taken over the kitchen, and based on my last two visits, they’ve done an excellent job. The chicken was incredibly tender, and the spaghetti sauce had a rich, deep flavor with just the right amount of seasoning.
This has become an annual tradition for me and my girlfriends, as we always visit this restaurant before heading to the craft shows in October. My family has been dining here since at least 2000. The atmosphere is eclectic, even after some renovations this year, and it's impressive that the restaurant has been around since 1947! If they’ve survived such a long time, they must be doing something right. I always order the spaghetti and meatballs, and this time I added chicken ravioli to my meal. The sauce is incredibly flavorful, and the meatballs are sizable. The chicken ravioli was tasty, but it could have had a bit more filling. When we arrived, the hostess mentioned they had just been hit with two large groups, and they were short a chef, yet we didn’t have to wait long at all. Their homemade pasta and bread was absolutely delicious as well.
Met with members of NWA Camaro Club for a delightful lunch. The food is great and so is the service!
Went into the venesian inn expecting high quality food as I?ve heard it?s good and my grandma has been going here for 30 years, instead I was disappointed, the salad wasn?t a salad it was iceberg lettuce w/ dressing no toppings in sight, our food came outand the steak and the onion rings had no flavor at all, the spaghetti was good im not gonna lie, the best part was the cake theygave us as they where celebrating their 75 anniversary, Ive heard great things about this place which makes me think maybe newmanagement? Because the food was mediocre at best, Don?t go here if you?re expecting the quality this place In guessing oncehad. Even my grandma said it changed a lot we will not be going back.
