Once upon a time this was a sweet little English pub with a nightly regular showing of people to BS with. The menu was good. The rotating beer selection was good. We enjoyed going there every now and then. However, we went tonight and found out it's under new management. The menu is a 1/3 of the original. It's all crappie bar food now. Drink selection is overpriced and very limited. $11 for a 10oz temptress . The place was empty except for 1 other couple. The staff was fine but I'll never go back. It's an absolute rip off now with no redeeming value. It's a shame. This place was wonderful once.

Came for trivia night and loved it! If I lived in Dallas, I'd be a regular. Service was astonishingly patient and good humored. My friend asked the bar for an off-menu cocktail and now it may get added. My reuben was altered to be vegetarian and tho it may not pop up on the menu, I was really satisfied (kimchi, cheese and mushrooms works!) And the sweet potato wedges w/cheese and guac - ridic. Bought them for the table and mostly polished them off myself. Not ashamed. This place was a perfect combo of service, fun and quality eats. Can't wait to visit again!

Let me start by saying, I hate to write a bad review for any establishment, but especially a local, small business like J.R. Bentley’s. Unfortunately, the experience I had this evening warrants some feedback. My partner and I went to J.R. Bentley’s to participate in their Tuesday trivia night. We were greeted at the door, but after seating ourselves, we waited well over ten minutes for a server to greet us. Finally, I went to the bar to ask for water, when a waitress appeared and asked us if we had been taken care of. She then brought us waters, and I asked her a question regarding the ingredients of an item on the menu, as I have food allergies. She returned with an apathetic “they come frozen, there’s no way of knowing.” Now, I understand it’s difficult to accommodate a guest with food allergies, but I have visited other restaurants whose servers were able to read the ingredients of a frozen food item directly from the box. After that, we did not see her for about fifteen minutes. Again, I approached the bar, menu in hand, hoping to place my partner and I’s food order with anyone who would help us. A different waitress asked us, again, if we had been helped. She then took our orders, and our food was delivered in a fair amount of time. After we had our food though, again, she did not return to our table to check on us or refill our waters. For the third time, I went to the bar, hoping for a refill on our waters. The bartender seemed frustrated that he had to tend to us, but gave us our waters, and I sat back down. Our second waitress came back with the check, one check, and did not ask if we would be splitting it or paying together. When we asked her to split it, she returned with our cards saying that she had mistakenly ran our cards for another person’s order, but it shouldn’t have charged us. I mean, wow, right? I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt after the first blunder, but candidly, the service was very poor, and most of the staff seemed apathetic towards our needs. I’m unsure if that is because we were the youngest people in there, or maybe we just caught them on an off day, but the entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth. As an Arlington local, I am sorry to have to give such bitter critiques.

They've been under new management recently. On the service side, they're doing great, the staff was really nice and attentive. However, this used to be my favorite place for a Gluten Free Burger and Fries, but the spot is no longer to friendly to those with Celiac or gluten allergies. No gluten free buns or separate fryer like they used to.

The new owner really cleaned the place up. Everything is amazing! Best burgers I've ever had and shiner bock is only $2 a glass. The staff are always quick to get drinks and no matter what you get, its always good. Nice place for family or friends to hang out. Good atmosphere.

Went there tonight to give it a try since we heard it had changed owners. To be blunt, do not waste your time trying them, unless you like overcooked and over seasoned food. Not to mention overpriced, WAAAAAY overpriced. My wife and I went there tonight and we had hopes that the new owners didn’t change up a place badly that I have literally been going to since high school, from when they were originally on Cooper st. This is one of the few places I could take my wife to that she genuinely loved the food. No longer. 1 order of fried pickles appetizer 1 order of cheesy fries with beef appetizer 1 beer/ temptress (looked only about 8oz) 1 sour (that they couldn’t even be bothered to pour into a glass, served it to my wife in the can) Price tag? 42 bucks We sat at our table for ten minutes before the waitress even came over. It took them another five minutes to bring us our drinks, and the place was only about a third full. Before? Best customer service and food. Greeted when we entered, staff friendly and quick and good byes when we left. Now? Didn’t enjoy it from entry to departure.

Went Monday evening to try out the new menu and 3 of us really enjoyed the Hello McFly sandwich, fish & chips, and John Rambo sandwich and various cocktails, the onion rings were panko-type rather than the photos I had seen of the other kind of batter so some of us were happier than others 😉 Our server Penny (man alive, I hope I'm remembering her name correctly!) was awesome. Lovely experience. Exceptionally clean & tidy. Appreciated the bottled hot sauces. Recorded music could be slightly less loud for better conversation, but this is a general issue in restaurants and we didn't ask anyone to do anything about it. Will certainly be back!

Friendly and quick service, food was delicious, try any of the burgers! The side salads are chopped fresh and delicious. Melanie was a great server, always close by, Thank You!

Definitely my new favorite bar in Arlington, went to grab a Guinness and will be back many more times. The burger was great, football on the TV, darts on the wall. What more could you ask for?

Yummy fries, good sammies, decent fish and chips. Good beer selection. Good burgers too. Staff is very friendly!

Gone to UTA for 4 years, and had never been to JR Bentleys till now. I have really missed out. Welcomed right when I came in and helped immediately by Amber, who is very kind and cool. Good drinks, including the 99 banana shot seltzer drink she just came up with and let me sample! Good atmosphere, even for hanging out at 3pm after class.

The Heisenberg fries were very tasty! They had the perfect amount of hatch green Chile, without the heat. We enjoyed Guinness draft as well. Wait staff was very nice and attentive. We will be coming back.

Used to come here while in school at UTA. They had the best burgers back then. I've been here a few times since the remodel and the menu was very similar. They have a new menu now and the burgers aren't what they used to be, which was disappointing. They weren't terrible, but not worth coming here for. I don't drink anymore so the nostalgia and menu are what brings me back. Don't think nostalgia alone can bring me back. Nice atmosphere and great service, tho. Love what they've done with the place. Used to feel like a dungeon.

What can I say about this place besides great burgers fries and cold beers. I usually go during the lunch hour its a great spot for a burger but have never really gone at night but would like to check trivia night out.

Went in for dinner on a Friday nite. Fairly busy and good atmosphere. Great service. The wait staff was super friendly. Restrooms were clean and the decor was fun.

The burgers are outstanding! That is what you need to know. English style pub. Nice selection of food if you are looking for something else. Great service and food was served quickly. This is a great place to stop in and grab dinner and a drink.

Bentleys has been around forever! The fish and chips are very respectable and my Brit friend says the Guinness is excellent. We love trivia night

I have been coming to Bentley’s for years. So when I found out Bentleys was sold, I was nervous. However, I came in anyway on a Saturday afternoon after the buyout. The ambiance is the same. My favorite bartender, Kim, is still behind the bar. The changes, while different, are great! My usual go-to were the now retired chuck’s cheese fries, so in lieu of them, I ordered the special Last Samurai fries. Chuck who? The new fries are delicious! They’ve also added a few new taps, expanding draft options. Also, who can complain about every day happy hour? 2-6 and 11-close. Bentley’s is still the same bar I love, albeit with newer and honestly, better options.

This is one of the first places I went to when I arrived in Arlington in an attempt to meet people. They have trivia night every Tuesday night with a smattering of regulars. The food is typical bar fare, the drinks are pretty good, Trivia is actually quite fun, rather addictive. Service shines here, the bartenders are welcoming and friendly, as are many of the patrons. I look forward to going back on a regular basis.

I can’t Speak on the burgers because I didn’t try it. However I really enjoyed their pulled pork,It was very hearty as well as the crinkled fries! The order came with condiments and a knife. It is very reasonable,take advantage of the specials they have. Very good customer service,The servers were friendly and attentive. The decor of this place resembled a bar but open seating. Definitely recommend this restaurant,the food was delicious!
