Rogers

About the restaurant

Maynard’s in Rogers opened in 2004 with a mission to provide amazing food as well as impeccable service. We proudly aim to be the place the locals are proud to call home, but also a place for a great pit stop on your hwy 94 commute!

Maynard’s is locally owned and operated and is proud to give back to the communities it serves. We truly enjoy contributing in any way we can –from donating a percentage of sales to our local food shelf and sports teams, to grilling burgers at the Rogers high school football games.

About the restaurant

If you're going to take your name from a badass like the patron saint of blacksmiths, you better be able to back it up. Baldamar marks the turning point where we usher in the new standard for style, service and steak. It means the menu’s made with old-world craft at its core and modern day meat eaters in mind — with flavors forged in fire and folded into pure primal perfection. It’s where every steak is aged 40 days and 40 nights for a taste of biblical proportion, and where crazy-fresh seafood means it was caught during your morning commute. At the bar sits every spirit imaginable, and someone who isn’t afraid to use them. This is more than a new steakhouse. It’s a line in the sand. It’s not just where you celebrate special occasions. It’s where you create them.

*A 20% Service Fee is added to all groups of 6 or more.
