Pretty diverse menu. Really get an opportunity to have some cajun, some seafood, and steak. Alligator is on the menu and lots of fantastic options. Some surprises with $1 ice cream bar and 1/2 bottle of wine Wed, making enjoying a bottle more fun. I got steak and really appreciated that it wasn't highly seasoned. My husband really enjoyed the...

Quaint older building near the university. Not on the beaten path. Food and selection is awesome. You won't be disappointed.

A little off the beaten path on the University campus. With an open seating plan and very high ceilings, this old brick building is a little more sports bar than fine dining. A nice wine selection, and unique southern foods you do not find in the North or West. Many options with crawfish and alligator bite appetizers. The calamari app... More

Delicious food in a great atmosphere. A group of 12 of us went. Tried all of the appetizers and they were all great. Nice variety - something for everyone. I had the seafood Alfredo and it was very tasty. Definitely recommend it.

HORRIBLE SERVICE! We aren't from Fayetteville but visit quite often and was our first time at this restaurant. Was a game day so we made reservations online for 9 pm. Arrived at 845 and was told we would be seated once the party vacates the table shortly after 9. Waited and waited. Then we noticed tables of 4 that arrived... More

Take the extended family here for birthdays. A group of 12 can always find something for everyone. Waiters always keep up and never had a bad experience. Easy parking and easy to find off Dixon St (a main drag). Inside has great ambiance. Go once, you will become a regular.

I come here about once a month. Get the kilowatts they are great and on Monday's they are half off. Decent seafood, but obviously not the best-we are in a land locked state. I always get the lobster bisque and the pontchartrain and those are both really good. The seafood alfredo normally attracts a lot of folks, but they put... More

We called in an order for three ribeyes and baked potatoes with the works to go. They said to allow about twenty minutes, but I had to wait awhile longer than that after arriving. The food was good with plenty of toppings for the taters.

When you order a medium rare steak, don't expect any pink. I would hate to know what a well done steak would have come to me looking like. Do these people know how poorly the kitchen performs? The service is better than average, but the last two meals I have had there don't rate worth eating. When I say last,... More

Powerhouse used to be so cool! My husband and I enjoy a nice meal and really enjoy more the experience. Powerhouse offers (or used to offer) just that combination. A large, extensive menu, a venue that allows one to know they are really sitting below millions of volts of electricity running over the power lines. Really Cool Venue! Unfortunately the... More
