I started going to the Venetian Inn back in the early 70'. The food was amazing, and the lines of people waiting to get in were very long but worth the wait. We just went Friday evening at about 5:30 there was no line and just a few people inside eating. The spaghetti was always extra-special, but not anymore. It was just plain like you would get at any restaurant. My fried chicken came out light grayish, not browned at all. I barely ate any of it. Why change recipes when you have the best? I see why they don't have many patrons anymore. Goodbye Venetian Inn, I still have my memories from your haydays!

Everything was just wonderful. The family owned restaurant has had it’s ups and down through the years but last night was an “up” for sure. Danny and I loved it!!!

Fried Chicken with a Side of Spaghetti
We tried Venesian Inn tonight In Tontitown. For years we had heard great things about it. Surely, if they have been in business since 1947, it’ll be good right? Nope. We are wondering HOW they have stayed in business that long. Someone please tell us this was an off night.
The service was fantastic BUT…
The house salad came out with only chopped iceberg lettuce and dressing. Literally nothing else; no veggies, no cheese, no croutons. So weird. We both got pasta. The noodles were mush (way over cooked) and so salty I couldn’t eat it. Thank goodness there was bread and butter on the table for us to eat!
Such a let down. And now I’m trying to figure out what I’m eating for my second dinner.

Super delicious! When I am in town I always stop here to eat! The rolls are out of this world! Fried chicken and spaghetti so yummy! I am sure the dessert is excellent but never have room. The salad which is just lettuce mixed with oil and vinegar is so good with crackers!
I’ve been going here for 25+ years and on many special occasions. Food is always phenomenal! Cutest atmosphere! Friendliest staff, that love kids!! Our 5yo daughter begged to go here for her birthday! Never disappoints!!

This place is a hidden unspoken gem! The service was top notch and the food was outstanding. The only drawback was the salad which was only shredded lettuce and dressing. Definitely will be back.

The food was great and the staff was warm and friendly! Our waitress gave my wife some extra roles to take to work, and the owner came out to chat with us multiple times. We loved getting to hear her story of how they've persevered through the pandemic. Get the fried chicken and spaghetti! It's weird, but it works!

Ate lunch for first time in long time. Seated quickly, clean surroundings, food came quickly and was tasty. What made it even more enjoyable was our waitress, very personable and attentive but not overly so. Enjoyed chatting with her. Our last visit was not pleasant but this one more than made up for it. Renovations of a sort and a big screen tv for game day. Very nice. I hope they keep it up. For those that hate on the salad... it's lettuce with the most amazing dressing and if you can't appreciate it or need more for some reason I don't know what to tell you. We love it. ❤️
