Tusk & Trotter
Tusk & Trotter is an American restaurant in Bentonville serving dishes made with local ingredients and southern-inspired flavors. The space offers a casual setting with carefully prepared food ranging from comfort fare to more refined options.
The restaurant opened in 2011 when Bentonville was beginning its transformation into a cultural hub and played a part in that development. The building itself was once a warehouse owned by Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, before being converted into the current restaurant.
The name reflects a traditional approach to using the entire pig, from head to foot, showing respect for local ingredients and sustainable cooking practices. The restaurant embodies this craft-focused philosophy in a casual setting that demonstrates how it contributes to Bentonville's growing food community.
The restaurant is open daily with lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch service, with reservations recommended especially for larger groups. Free parking is available directly across the street and bike racks are nearby, with the location just a short walk from downtown.
The brunch menu is known for six different Bloody Mary variations, each with its own ingredients like dill or jalapeno-infused vodka, with optional tasting flights to compare. The Carrot Cake Waffles combine sweet and savory elements, showcasing the creative blend of comfort and innovation the restaurant brings.
