Pleasant Counter — Restaurant in Springdale

My wife and I set out to decide what we would have for dinner on Friday night…. Leftovers? Mexican? Maybe some Indian food (my favorite…). But my wife felt pulled to this small hole in the wall. Thinking it may not be what we were wanting, but wanting to give it a shot, we played rock paper scissors and ended up going. Clearly God was trying to bless us. The po boy was amazing. The flavor, breading, sauce, everything was fantastic. The double burger was everything you could want. The saltiness and savoriness, the sweetness from the ketchup, pickles and mustard bringing a vinegar flavor. It was incredible. And the fries…. Our kiddo couldn’t stop eating them! And we couldn’t either. After the meal we got some time to talk to the owner. He is an absolutely amazing guy! A great heart, an incredibly hard worker, and clearly loves and values his family so much. We are blessed to have been able to meet him.

Please, if you’re looking for a place to eat, go to Pleasant Counter. You’ll...

Delicious Burger + Best Waffle Fries! I just moved into the area from San Francisco and stumbled onto this great little restaurant. I’ve been here for two weeks and have been in search of a good, quality burger and honestly, the burger here at Pleasant Counter is the best I’ve had so far in the entire Fayetteville region. Aaron is super cool and you can tell he takes a lot of pride the food he serves his customers. I also love that he uses tallow for the fries. For those of you that might not know, tallow is what McDonald’s used to cook their fries in back in the old days (which gave their fries that amazing, “famous McDonald’s fries” umami flavor) Unfortunately they switched because of misguided ideas about the types of fats that are good/bad for you ). The good news is you can now enjoy that tallow flavor at Plesent Counter. If you’re looking for a great burger/fry combo, I highly recommend visiting Aaron at his cool little...

The food was okay, just not very flavorful. I also ordered drinks over the phone when I placed my to-go order, so once I picked up my food & paid for the order I grabbed my soda cans out of the fridge next to the counter. As I was loading up in my car to leave, a worker ran outside & said that they didn’t charge me for the drinks. She clearly wasn’t the one who took my order over the phone, but her tone insinuated to me that she believed I took the sodas without ordering/paying for them. It’s a small business so I know every dollar adds up, but I just found it really off-putting to chase me outside over a few cans that I did order. Seeing as my total was nearly $40 for 2 burgers & a kids meal, I had no reason to assume I wasn’t charged for them & they offered no itemized receipt. No harm no foul, but it did leave an “unwelcome” taste in my mouth. Overall, the food was average, nothing memorable. Probably...
