21 Cute and themed restaurants in Hot Springs

Cool bar with lots of history. I had the hangover burger which was amazing! They also had the best key lime martinis ever. Friendly bartender who shared some history of the building with us and was very attentive. They have live music Thursday-Sunday, but we visited early in week so missed it.

Great history, food and music. The bar is hand carved, and the upstairs is where they use to gamble. Cool history since 1905. The drinks were all priced. We had margaritas, and they were actually on tap. The chicken wings were crisp and flavorful. The patty melt was great. The house band was very good and played a variety of music with four different singers. The service was excellent. Great way to end the day, very relaxing.

Lots of dark wood and pictures of gangsters and presumably respected people on the wall makes for interesting ambience. There is the bar on the first floor and the stairs take you up to an area where you can dine at a table. We ordered martinis, a chocolate martini and an espresso martini - both were good. I ordered a Reuben while my partner ordered a burger, some sort of avocado burger I do believe, with sweet potato fries. Both of our meals were delicious.

The Ohio Club is a very cool place to have lunch. We saw a picture of the Bloody Marys and we had to have them. They were great. Our waitress, Missy, gave recommendations on lunch. I had the famous Reuben and the wife had the Special of the day. Both were very good, but the fries and onion rings were warm but not hot. Lots of cool gangster pics on the walls and the bar is beautiful.

Great little place with a ton of history in its walls (and its ceiling - look up for the bullet holes from Hot Springs' gangster-laden past!). The food and service were excellent, and our bartender made a perfect Aviation. We'll be back to check out the nighttime entertainment the next time we're in town!

This place is a must visit in this area. We came for dinner, not knowing what to expect. There is an Al Capone statue outside sitting on a bench. There is a bar right as you enter, and a bunch of tables both down stairs and up stairs. Live music upstairs. The atmosphere is just right with the music. Not too loud, enjoyable, lots of history to read about, and memorabilia to view. The food and drinks are really good. I really enjoyed the Southeast burger and Bluewing Berry Wheat. It wasn’t bitter, kept it’s taste the entire time, and just the right % The staff is really nice and have good recommendations.

Came on a Saturday evening. We were seated quickly since we sat at the bar. The live band was fantastic! My husband had a burger and myself the Rueben! They both were so good! Best Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had! The restaurant is small but full of cool history! So happy we made this part of our trip!

Beautiful Club with a lot of history and atmosphere! The visual experience is worth the stop! Lots of beautiful wood work and things to experience! Very helpful staff, clean and very safe! A great stocked bar with a great menu! Had fried green beans with two dipping sauces! Excellent! Excellent place to chill, get a drink and relax for a few minutes!

Nice atmosphere and the staff was pleasant and helpful. I thought the Ohio Club sandwich looked great, but the waitress told me it is a 2 pound sandwich, so I had to opt for something else on the fly after we'd already told her we had needed a couple extra minutes to peruse the menu to pick something. They were out of a couple of sandwiches and burgers we were interested in, so I chose the Ohio burger like my wife had. The food was good and the drinks were good (the burgers are half pound burgers!), but we ended up spending over $60 for lunch for two burgers and two drinks, which feels like a lot. While the atmosphere is fun and has a historic feel to it, especially of the mafia activity there in the past, it feels like they play a bit too much on that, and it didn't really impact our visit there. Not upset that we ate there, but we would try some other options before coming back.

Amazing place! Beautiful handcarved bar, delicious food and drinks with a friendly and efficient staff. The decor harkens back to the early era when this establishment first opened in 1905. Pictures of famous people adorns the walls of this must-see establishment.

What a cool place with fun history. It was poppin' when we headed in about 1:30pm on a Monday (granted, day before 4th of July). We were lucky to be able to grab a spot at the bar and were greeted right away with a smile and a menu. We each tried a local Arkansas beer, I got a burger and my husband a pastrami/corned beef sandwich. Everything tasted great and had a fun presentation. The staff seemed to handle tolhe chaos pretty well, too!

We stopped at the Ohio Club after visiting the Gangster Museum, partially because we learned it's the oldest bar in Arkansas and it was one of Al Capne's favorite hangouts. We didn't eat there, but we had two of their signature drinks at the bar which were really good. The interior of the bar could double as a museum there's so much historical memorabilia hanging on the walls. The old architecture and antique woodworking behind the bar make you feel like you stepped back into a speakeasy from the Roaring 20's!

We were here for the 2024 eclipse in this lovely town and had a couple of their delicious Total Solar Eclipse drinks. Our bartender was super! We didn’t actually have food but I’m sure it’s delicious too. Super.charming, must-see local bar in Hot Springs 💜.

What a cool place! This historic spot has been visited by many celebrities over the years and the history behind it is fascinating. I had a burger and onion rings which was really good. It’s a very laid back place perfect for chilling out and grabbing a bite on bathhouse row.

I know I may be a little biased since I worked the door there on Friday and Saturday night. This is one of the best night or day spots I’ve known in a long time. good atmosphere,great people, steeped in history. I highly recommend the food too.

Historic building in Hot Springs. The burger I ordered was legitimately really good. I think their special blend of meat has something to do with it. The space is great. The bar back is over a hundred years old and is gorgeous. Looks like they sometimes have live music there, too. It's worth a visit, for sure.

Arrived late afternoon and it was apparently shift change. The first waitress was really rough and hurried and not very interested in anything. The second was great, but the transition took about 15-20min. The food was good, but not anything spectacular. Cool overall vibe, but I could see it getting very loud when full.

Super service in a fun, historic background. I had a vegetarian sandwich, a grilled portobello and onion rings. My husband had a burger with Swiss cheese and pineapple that was cooked exactly as ordered. This was a great stop for a little history and a tasty sandwich.

Wow! My family loves to try new things that we see from TV! So, of course, we had to try this Food Network gem. It was everything we hoped for and more. We got there a bit late, around 9 and were out of there by about 10:15 and that included the long line that we literally only waited in for about 15-20 mins. The atmosphere was great, our waitress was sweet, and the food was fantastic! Great place to grab some breakfast! If it says small, it’s more like medium/large! It isn’t what you expect at all. The food was huge and flavorful and was worth the wait.

A nice place for breakfast! My hubby and I both had bacon and cheese omelets and they were good. I also had a buckwheat pancake, which wasn’t as good as I had hoped it would be…a little dense for my liking! The fresh squeezed OJ was super yummy though. We got there right at opening and had no trouble being seated. Parking on the other hand is an issue…there just isn’t a whole lot of spaces! Our server was super friendly and sweet! She did a great job! Would definitely recommend this place to others!

Popular restaurant. At 1000, It was cold and snowing. People were outside waiting to get inside to eat. (Masks required) The staff had free coffee available for those standing in the cold. The wait was around 30 min. Their pancakes are the size of dinner plates. The bacon was extra crispy and sliced thick. The grits were creamy. The apple butter fresh and was delicious. The syrup for the pancakes had been warmed and the butter whipped for easy spreading. The wait staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our breakfast and recommend, The Pancake Shop. t.

The pancakes are amazing! They are the size of the plate! The French toast is deep fried! The syrup is nice and warm. What I thought was cream cheese, was actually soft , cream, butter! The butter spread very nice! Service was good. The place is small and have limited seating, it is worth the wait!

Best service and food I have had in a very long time!! Everyone there was friendly and really attentive. The portions are huge so keep that in mind when ordering!! The apple butter is good and i absolutely love that they serve the syrup hot! This business and it's building have good stories and I love how the town recounts their history on their menus, decor and displays.

Veggie Omelette with Spinach 😎😎😎... Special thank you to Haven and The Pancake Shop in Hot Springs, Arkansas for providing me with a delightful dining experience. As I entered the cozy establishment, I couldn't help but feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Being somewhat of a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for delicious and nutritious options, and The Pancake Shop did not disappoint.

Each ingredient was expertly sautéed to retain its crispness and natural flavors, creating a harmonious blend of tastes. The vegetables were tender and still had a delightful crunch, adding a satisfying texture to every bite. The omelette was flawlessly cooked, with a light and fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. The eggs were perfectly seasoned, allowing the natural flavors of the vegetables to shine through without overpowering them. It was evident that The Pancake Shop takes great care in their preparation, ensuring a high-quality and delicious dish. Accompanying the Veggie Omelette was a side of golden-brown hash browns and freshly baked bread. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, providing a satisfying contrast to the omelette. The bread was warm and fragrant, a perfect complement to the meal. To top off this delightful experience, the service at The Pancake Shop was exceptional. Haven was attentive throughout my meal, ensuring that I had everything I needed and making me feel like a valued guest. The staff at The Pancake Shop displayed a genuine passion for their work, and it was evident in their friendly and efficient service.

Thank you, Haven, and The Pancake Shop, for a memorable meal—I will certainly be returning to savor more of your delightful offerings.

The best pancakes I've ever had! The veggies were so fresh in my amazing veggie omelet. the staff were great and there may have been a wait when we got there but we didn't wait long and they had free coffee and water outside while you wait.

Food was delicious!! We had pancakes (chocolate chip and apple) and they were great! Per the waitress’s tip, we cut a hole in the center to avoid the syrup from dripping off the plate. The pancakes are as large as the plate, so choose your quantity wisely (fork shown for scale). The syrup is homemade maple & hot, served with butter. They have fresh-squeezed Orange Juice, and several other juices, as well as milk & coffee. They didn’t have any non-dairy milk options. My “Large” chocolate milk wasn’t as big as I expected (fork shown for scale), but I didn’t even drink it all - I was too chocolate’ed out! The service was on-point and overall we had a great time! We arrived at around 7:10 and got possibly the last free table — other guests after us were waiting outside. We heard the wait could be long, so we arrived just in time it looks like! Get there right at open time or you’ll be waiting! The seating inside is limited (it’s a small place) and they have it packed pretty tight already!

Staff was super great. The hostess came to find people in stores nearby when they were on the wait-list. Waitress was great, too. Helped us enjoy the menu and meal. Wait on a semi-busy Saturday was only 20 minutes but I guess it's usually longer in nicer weather. We tried one regular, blue berry and apple pancake. My fav was the regular. Butter and syrup look was fresh and homemade.. the orange juice, too! I think the coffee is their own blend as well. With fresh cream at the table! Also had the small ham steak which was pretty big, actually. Everything was so good and the price for all was only $32....!!! Bathrooms were messy but it was so very busy so that may be why.

Best place in all of Hot Springs to eat breakfast. It fills up fast and wait times running 30-45 minutes in the busy times. Fresh squeezed OJ is wonderful along with the natural spring water that awaits you when you arrive to you table. The French toast is amazing… and I don’t even like French toast Old school charm and is run very efficiently Mrs Roseline will take great care of you.

Prepare to wait on a weekend morning. However, the owners anticipate this and there’s coffee & water available during the wait. The apple pancakes were fantastic with big apple chunks. The bacon was thick and plentiful. The eggs were very tasty too.

Moderately busy on a Sunday at 8-9am. Waited about 15-20 minutes. They give you the opportunity to wait in the store next door especially if there is inclement weather. The pancakes were great. If I had to pick I would go with buckwheat over regular personally. They have a bit more of a complexity to them that makes them shine. This was for blueberry pancakes at least. Really enjoyed the sausage patties. Omelette was also great. Definetly would come back and try more pancake flavors.

Believe the hype and worth the wait. This place has a reputation that will not let you down. The pancakes are perfect. The sausage is delicious. I had a sausage and cheese omelette with some added jalapeños for a little extra kick. The coffee cake hits just right with hot coffee. The service here is better than family. They go out of their way to make you comfortable and will give you menu recommendations if you can’t make up your mind. The line will be long, but trust me, it will be worth it. And you can walk into a few of the near by shops and they will still hunt you down and let you know when your table is ready. Just stay within earshot.

Great dinner feel. Amazing food. Portions were overwhelming - in a good way. Best ham steak I've ever had. Our server was extremely nice and very outgoing. She really made the place feel like an old school diner. The menu isn't elaborate, but you know that means they are really good at what they do. Perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. None of us walked away hungry

WORTH THE WAIT!! We had to wait about 45 minutes, but went next door and had the opportunity to taste the apple butter. It is the bomb and better on toast. Bacon is fresh and crispy. Cheese grits are really good and my favorite was the blueberry pancake with real maple syrup! Try it all!!

THE PANCAKES ARE ENORMOUS! Fantastic throwback diner. The staff are super friendly, the place is very clean, and very busy so come early. The pancakes are enormous so take that in advisement if you want any other breakfast items to go with them. The syrup and homemade butter….*chef’s kiss* Don’t wait. Go try this Food Network Gem!!!

Our breakfast was delicious and our server, Jennifer,was excellent. We had a blueberry pancake and a buckwheat pancake and a side of eggs and toast. The restaurant is nice and extremely clean (even the restrooms).

I’m from Texas and nothing can beat Texas BBQ !! To each it’s own though so don’t come at me. I wanted try it since I was in Hot Springs and McClard’s has great history behind it and a favorite amongst locals and visitors . Staff was really friendly and attentive but food was ok . The sliced beef tasted like pot roast with BBQ sauce poured on top , the beans was different tasted more like chili beans and I wasn’t a big fan of that . The ribs were ok very tough and chewy , sausage was good . I did enjoy the potato salad and the side of fries with the dry seasoning sprinkled on top it was so good . I even purchased the dry seasoning to take home which was the best part . The BBQ sauce was ok wasn’t my thing now the loaded fries I think was the best dish in my opinion but I think if the cheese was melted on top it would of been heaven.

The BBQ is really good. Liked the potato salad (mayo style) and cole slaw. But that "tamale" is not a tamale. I don't know what it is. They crumble it up on the Spread. I liked The Spread, but it could've had more meat. Very cool spot with lots of history. Not "the best" BBQ Sauce but good enough to grab a bottle. Also, parking is pretty tight, do if you have a big vehicle park behind or park and walk.

McClard’s serves good BBQ and has great service. I tried the meat sampler which contained your choice of 4 meats. I had ribs, sausage, beef and pork, for sides I had the homemade French Fries and coleslaw. My favorite of the meats were the sausage and ribs, the beef and pork were both cut thick and a little dry, both sides were good and the coleslaw was noteworthy.

On a trip to Hot Springs with my daughter who requested BBQ for lunch. I'm not much one to eat BBQ, but I decided to try out McClard's. Nestled in a non-pretentious building is the most "hometown" feeling restaurant I've been to in quite some time. The staff was friendly and welcoming to travelers. I had the chipped pork sandwich, tamales and sausage. The BBQ sauce was really tasteful, a bit spicy but very good. The tamales were not actually tamales, but a tamale spread. While the flavor was there, it left much to be desired. I recommend trying something else if you can. The sausage was a healthy portion and quite delicious. Overall we were very satisfied.

Friendly staff and. Ice and clean restaurant. I wish I had ordered a tamale, but I ordered the Sunday nacho special. It was good plenty to eat and good flavor. The choice was pork or beef. Be aware that their BBQ sauce is a bit sweet in case you have a preference. They had pecan pie and peach cobbler to choose from. The pie slice was about a ¼ of the whole pie. Very generous servings.

This well-kept barbecue joint transported me to another time from when we parked our car to walking in the door and sitting at the counter. The staff were extra friendly and so helpful. We ordered the ribs and chopped pork sandwich. Loved comparing the sandwich to the Lexington, NC barbecue I’m so familiar with. I wish I had saved room for their homemade desserts but I was way too full! Highly recommend this place for fast, delicious comfort food with friendly service and a bit of nostalgia.

Been eating here since 1996 and without a doubt, it’s my favorite barbecue restaurant in Arkansas. The food is amazing and there’s nothing else quite like McClard’s BBQ sauce! They are best known for their tamale spread and ribs and fries platter, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

My first tamale! We made a detour just to dine at this historic barbeque joint. No goat, but great pork sandwiches and a delightfully spicy tamale plate. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Hurry over to Hot Springs and get you a taste of history!

It was my first time eating at McClard's since I am traveling through the area for work. I love BBQ and usually hit as many as I can when I am on the road. I got the sampler platter, the ham sandwich, peach cobbler and fries. The ribs were massive and tender, the sausage was some of the juiciest I've ever had and the brisket was tender and moist. The fries were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside which should the measurement for all fries. The cobbler was exactly what I was hoping for, buttery and not too sweet. They gave me the fries for free, but that would not be enough for me to write this lengthy review. As delicious as they were. As long and then meat is tender and juicy, the fries crunchy and the desert just enough to keep you from going over the edge, it is a great experience. Plus the peeps were top notch friendly. I give it an A- , but only because they forgot my coleslaw which I didn't even realize until now. So that may in fact be a +. That is how good everything else was. A it is then.

I don't understand the fascination with this establishment, it's a family owned business since the 1920's, that's the only thing that can be considered a "success"! However; the menu list doesn't match what you're actually served. I paid over $50 for food that even my dog refused to eat (true story). The only item I'd recommend is the potato salad, the remaining order consisted of 3 slices of beef fat (should've been brisket), 5 ribs of lean pork fat, small portion of actual pork meat. Full platter of "2 Tamales" consisted of shredded cheddar cheese and frito chips, my spouse is still searching for the tamale entree. The beans were...well, AWFUL! While waiting for the order, the entire restaurant was filled with some kind of smoke or vapor that caused customers to begin coughing and gagging. The ONLY positive of the entire experience was the service of the cashier's optimum customer service. Folks, save your money, I'm certain that Hot Springs has better BBQ menu items elsewhere. 👎 ** 2 days later and I have been ill with possible food poisoning 🤢🤮! Stay away from this place!

Walked in and was greeted by a waitress and told to sit anywhere. Ordered the brisket plate with fries and sausage. Waitress was friendly and very helpful in ordering. Plate arrived with sliced brisket and bbq sauce with sides. The brisket was tender and had a nice smoky flavor. I started to use a knife but realized only a fork was needed because the meat very tender and juicy. Sides were also good. Place is decorated with a hodgepodge of items on the wall and was perfect decor for a BBQ place. Place gets busy so I recommend arriving early around lunch time. Very much enjoyed eating here.

Whenever we are in town we make sure that we visit McClards, tonight we had the Rib dinner, the Tamale spread small portion, and a tamale and a side of slaw. The ribs are always delicious and the slaw is a MUST have. This was my first time to try the Tamale spread. It was DELICIOUS!! A tamale with Fritos, beans, brisket, sauce, cheese and onions. You’re missing out if you don’t try this! Everything here is delicious, service is fast and friendly. Great place to visit.

Nostalgic BBQ gem, must visit when in Hot Springs. Sausage, ribs, slaw very good…tamale and fries outstanding. Super fresh cut fries still glistening in frying oil when served. The house recipe pepper hot sauce and BBQ sauce are also tremendous. Very friendly place. Highly recommend. A true southern BBQ classic.

We were excited to come here and experience beers and root beer made with hot springs water. The place has a lot of history which was cool. They have a nice selection of beers and you can even order flights including the big flight order of 35. The root beer and root beer float is delicious! The food is pretty good too and we had a wide selection of burgers and chicken tenders. The buffalo cauliflower was excellent as was Rose's burger and the Blue burger. Unfortunately they didn't have the Cuban which disappointed a couple of people in our party. The only downside was the service. The restaurant was busy, so we expected service to be slow, but it was extremely slow and took forever to place our order, receive our meals, ask questions and get our check. Overall it would be a five-star if the service was much better. I should also note that the Superior Bathhouse is the only brewery in the world to use thermal spring water to make their beer! Very cool!

We had a mixed experience here. We tried the baked pretzel with cheese as an appetizer, the whole loaded baked potato with fried plantains as the side and the steak sandwich with coleslaw. Everything was very good except the plantains were very different than we’ve ever had them. They were like sweet plantains we’ve had before except they were very salty. Also the pretzel came at the same time as the meal even though the server said she put it in as an appetizer. The service was good. The one thing that would make us never come back was all the flies! Especially if you sit by the window. Not appetizing at all.

This place is epic! If you like craft beers, this is a must!! The beers are amazing and they have such a great variety. The food was very good as well. We will definitely be coming back.

These burgers are probably the best in Arkansas. Service is quick and food cannot be beaten. The beer brewed here, the only ones in the world brewed with thermal waters, are great. The space force hazy is a personal favourite, but the bees knees and the stouts are also brilliant. Sometimes there is a wait for a table, but the burgers, beers and service are worth the wait. My go too every time I pass through HS.

Make sure to check this place out. There are 18 beers made with the water from the springs to check out. The food is delicious and the costumer service is great. We got the grilled cheese, plantains, burger, and chicken strip. Love it all. The root beer is also tasty. My favorite was their homemade pretzels! Their beer cheese is the best I've had.

We had our wedding reception upstairs in the brewery event space (currently being renovated) and our coordinator was Christine. First off, Christine was the most genuinely nice person we worked with for our entire wedding. She was always quick to answer any questions we had, and was accommodating of all our requests that were a little out of the ordinary. Overall our experience was fantastic and we will always remember how great our wedding night was. Michael was the head chef and although we didn’t communicate with him too much, he was also great at working with us to set our custom menu. He even offered to plate a few meals individually for our guests with dietary restrictions, and we really appreciated this. We worked with their bartender to come up with two specialty cocktails to serve alongside the beer and wine, and they were both really good. To this day, some of our guests still talk about the delicious food and drinks, and how cool the reception space looked. We cannot say enough good things about Superior and their team, we highly recommend hosting an event here!

Excellent selection of beers! I tried about 7 different beers and they were all good, they will have something for every beer drinker. We also had the steak nachos which were really good. This is a superb way of extending the life of an old bath house.

Had dinner here on a Sunday night. Busy, but no wait. Service was a little slow but we weren't in a rush. There is really not much to do in Hot Springs after 6 pm. Food was great. The pretzel was good, mustard was great, cheese lacked flavor. The beers were good, not great. Beers were 6-7/10. Of the choices for dinner in the area this is a great option. Probably a legitimate 4/5 in most areas, but earns a 5/5 compared to all other choices in the area.

Probably one of the top 3 chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Fries were good. Could have been hotter but still good. The mango seltzer was so good I had to bring a growler home. Pet friendly was a nice touch. The place was fine and had a great energy and service was great. Highly recommend.

Excellent customer service, tasty beer and delicious food! Grant was a very kind server and was very quick with my order. I was in no rush at all but he made sure to let me know when everything was coming out. I enjoyed all 4 beers I got too. The jalapeño one was very spicy but so good! Thank you for a great experience! I’ll be back soon to try the famous root beer float! 😁

Food so good I bought the T-shirt! I took a chance on the special and was not let down. The Ruben Fries were AMAZING!! Highly recommended. The portions are huge. The fries could have easily been split between 2-3 people. We had a group of 12, everyone loved it. Service was great, the staff was very knowledgeable.

We stopped in here for a quick bite in between meals and absolutely loved it! We came back 2 more times because of how good the food was. Definitely would recommended the loaded fries (10/10). The beer flights were a great deal and tasted amazing. Seating would be a little difficult for larger parties but as a table of two we really enjoyed sitting next to the windows and people watching. Service was quick and for the price, you can’t beat it. Do not skip out on this place if you are in Hot Springs!

We give this place a solid 4. Went in on a Monday at 4pm. It was not busy and got seated quick. Server was nice the burgers and steak sandwich were good. Don’t get the fried plantain, they have like “Lucas” seasoning and we didn’t eat them. We thought they would just be fried plantains but no. The flight of beer was good, we got the honey, Spicey, sweet and the popular one.

We loved this place! Super cool atmosphere, great food and awesome service!! We came at 11, opening time….perfect time if you actually want to get in and dine! They are always exceptionally busy and we seen a line several times while visiting…note: they DO NOT take reservations!!! Like I said, it’s a very neat place to experience! The food was great…my hubby and I split the pretzel and beer cheese…so delicious…I’m not usually a fan of beer cheese, but this one was really good!! We also shared the chicken tender dinner with fries…I was expecting 3 little scrawny tenders, but let me tell you, those suckers were as big as your hand lol!! The Buffalo sauce is the bomb, but the BBQ sauce, we weren’t crazy about it. So if you’re not real hungry, consider sharing this meal! There will be plenty, trust me!! The house made root beer was pretty delicious as well! My hubby had a flight…he sampled Killer( red Irish), Spicy Ride( jalapeño ale), Spring Training( blonde ale), and the Fouke-ness Monster( Scottish ale)!! He liked all except the Spring Training…he said he wasn’t crazy about that one in particular! The beer here is the only beer in the world made with thermal spring water!!! How cool is that?? We actually got a growler of the Spicy Ride to take home….my hubby ended up loving it way more than he thought he would! The service was outstanding…our server was Taylor A. ( we visited on Sunday, March 24, 2024) she was super friendly and helpful, and trust me, we asked her a lot of questions!!! We would love to come back here if we visit the area again! Definitely recommend to others thinking of trying this place out!!!

Found this place by sheer chance and figured why not. Who can say they've had the pleasure of enoying beer in a brewery housed in a former spa...🙋‍♀️ Interior straight-up looks as regal and fancy as the other spas located on both sides of this brewery. Clean, white marble with white tiled floors. A mix of elegant meets industrial. Multiple seating options available, such as: indoors downstairs (*main level; at bar seating, table seating, and window bench type seating*), outdoor patio seating, and indoor upstairs seating, which consisted of single tables and long family style tables. The flight was amazing, as well as the salsa, chips, and cheese dip. Atmosphere was laid back and comfy. We'll definitely be back.

Bathhouse Row was a great day of exploring and I couldn’t wait to head over to your brewery as it was a beautiful day and your Biergarten was so inviting. Perfect place to people watch, enjoy some beverages and a little bite to eat. *Bonus that it is dog friendly! 🐾

I absolutely LOVED this place! The food and beer were amazing. I came back for dinner a second time. I got the Spring Training beer, Classic Burger (with the impossible patty), and fries. My partner got the Guac Burger and Chaude Fontaine beer. He kept saying how well the fries and burgers were seasoned! I also 100% recommend getting some beer to take back with you if you find one you really like!

Y’all this is IT. They got these pretzels that will knock your socks off. Fresh, flakey….you’ll want to buy the honey mustard, but you can’t. They won’t let you. Get the beer bath. We did it. It’s 18 little glasses of beer. They’re not little, but they’re not big glasses, so you’ll think why not. And you should! It’s worth it. Then you’ll buy like 3 more pretzels because it makes sense at the time. All the good is food. They have awesome T-shirts! Godspeed.

Beer lovers, assemble 🍻 they have unique flavors and I am in love with the basil and honey flavored beer. Also try the jalapeño flavored one if you love spicy drinks. Don’t know if it is because of the beer made from spring water, but it is tasty 😋

Don't judge a book by its cover! This place was excellent! We had the Steak Crostinis for an appetizer ( it could be a meal), fabulous! I had the Shrimp Portofino, and my husband had the Veal Osso Bucco. Highly recommend!

Very very impressed with this dining experience! The beet salad was unbeatable and delicious. I didn’t care much for the crab and lobster “cocktail” but my parents really liked it. My penne alla vodka was SCRUMPTIOUS. The eggplant was so good it could have been mistaken for meat and the Red Snapper was fresh and new. Definitely recommend!

Always a fantastic meal!! Very nice atmosphere and excellent waitstaff. I recommend making a reservation and just expect for it to take right at if not over an hour. This isn’t microwaved food so it does take some time but WELL worth the wait. We go every time we are in Hot Springs!

My husband had the chicken Marsala rigatoni and I had the penne alla vodka with crab. Both dishes were delicious and such generous portions that we had enough left over for lunch the next day. Service was very fast.

The Calamari Appetizer was exceptional. Was crispy and cooked to perfection, I will be getting this every time!!!! We had the rack of lamb and the Pasta Primavera with shrimp. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent.

We had the pleasure of dinning at Luna Bella this past Saturday night. The owners and the staff were very friendly and took care of our table of 13 with such grace and professionalism. We had 6 children with us and they took care of them just as they did the adults. We honestly tried nearly every menu item with such a large group, and everything was superb. The calamari was a touch over done, but it is finicky to deal with, so we understood. I would most definitely recommend the scallops, I have honestly never had better. They were the most melt in your mouth buttery richness ever. The assobuco was fabulous as was the vodka sauce. I could go on and on of how wonderful it was here. You should definitely give it a try, it is well worth it!

We went here for our anniversary dinner. We got the rack of lamb, the chicken pasta fortuna, and the fried risotto as an appetizer. The food was decent but the seasoning was “off”. The mashed potatoes and the lamb dish were very bland. The pasta dish was almost too seasoned with salt. We wound up dipping a fork in the pasta sauce and using some of it on the potatoes since there were no salt shakers on the table. We were disappointed especially considering the price. The bread and butter sauce were fantastic along with the appetizer.

The hostess was friendly as it was a last-minute dinner. Our server was fast and knowledgeable. The owner was amazing! The bellini martini was perfectly made. Followed by a delicious strawberry dessert. We love you, Cindy. Hands down the best place to come by when in hot springs. Overall experience is that we will be back with friends.

We went for our anniversary and it was perfect Amazing food. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. Top notch service, impeccable drinks, and everything was above and beyond fabulous. They certainly deserve their recent award of best in the state. Brittany was our server and her recommendations were spot on. We had the crab cakes (delish), the Luna Martini and the Paloma to drink, the stuffed tenderloin filet special and shrimp portafino for entrees- they were both amazing, but the special was hands down one of the best steaks either of us have ever had - cooked to perfection (medium rare) with a slightly crispy sear that elevated the whole experience. We finished it off with the cookies & cream bread pudding with white chocolate ganache. Divine. We don't get to Hot Springs often, but this spot is on our must-do list now.

My wife and I dined at Luna Bella while we vacationed in Hot Springs. We both were really impressed with the quality of the food, the staff, and the atmosphere of the restaurant. My wife ordered the blackened shrimp, and I ordered the rack of lamb, which both were excellent, although I would have preferred my lamb slightly more cooked in the middle. For dessert, we ordered the cheesecake, which is normally not my preferred dessert, but it was highly recommended by our server, Brittany. It was one of the best cheesecakes that I have eaten. Brittany was an excellent server and was very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a great fine dining experience in this area.

We came here for a Labor Day weekend trip and Luna Bella did not disappoint! It definitely exceeded our expectations. Our server Eric was so kind and upbeat!! Really made the entire night wonderful.

While a pricey dinner option, ever cent was well spent. My BF brought me here for Valentine's Day and while the outside looks like a strip mall and the dark tint provided a deceptively sketchy vibe, the interior was on point. I personally had the Rack of Lamb and their Valentine Specialty drink Drunken Love. I've never had lamb and my server explained that it was like ordering steak. Always nice to have wonderfully helpful and informed staff. Every bite was delectable. I recommend that if you only have one night in Hot Springs, you get dinner at this delightful restaurant.

Our first experience here was fantastic, so we tried it again. What a difference. We were looking to try something unique to the place and the staff was chiding us about stepping out of our comfort zone. Instead, we stayed with the traditional meals. The meatballs were very spicy and nearly black in color and the sauce itself was darker than any red sauce we've ever had. After a bit of an attempt to eat the meal, we simply left it sit - and definitely no "to go" box for that. We're not sure what happened since we expected a great dinner like before. Oh well. We are crossing this one off the list of places to visit again.

We took a wrong turn and wound up here. I got voted to go in to see if they had a table. We didn't realize at first what we'd lucked into. Out of the 2 appetizers and 3 entrees, we decided that the calamari and scallops were the best we've ever had. At our age, we've eaten a lot of both. The bread was unbelievable with an herb butter. I wish I drank because the cocktails looked amazing in those Martini glasses. Thanks for feeding us Friday night. It's one of two sure bets in Hot Springs.

This place serves amazing Italian food and has such a cute vibe inside! Some highlights were the strawberry shortcake, arancini risotto balls, and cacio e pepe with chicken, and veal with shrimp

Our server David was fantastic! He was attentive, and so playful with my five year old. I expressed my love for seafood while looking over the menu. He was able to inform me about some scallops I could add to my entree for only $7! They ended up being my favorite part of the meal. They were seasoned to perfection, sliced like butter, and paired beautifully with the salmon and crab we ordered. Even the veggies had flavor unlike any I’ve had at other restaurants, especially fine dining! In many of my stops at other fine dining establishments, my guests and I have often joked about how the food seems to never have enough seasoning. I send my chefs kiss to the cook and whoever trained them! The dinner lighting gives off a romantic, relaxed atmosphere. We will be returning and recommending Luna Bella to future friends and family members!

I had the new sea bass and loved it. I also had the new best salad and would not order it again simply I prefer roasted beets. My husband ordered the redfish and stated he preferred the sea bass. We really loved the halibut they removed from the menu. The Cesar salad is always great. Good wine selection. The server we had is not always attentive.

I eat here about once a month when I work in Hot Springs & try something different each time. I have yet to be anything other than very very impressed each time. Their salsa has an amazing hint of smoked flavor to it, not overpowering at all, but very nice to have something original in a dip. Excellent service as well.

Me and my husband were in the area for the hot springs and were hungry after so I scouted google and found this place and boy am I glad I did. We were greeted at the door and seated with no wait. The building was beautiful to look at, we were brought chips and salsa and then our order was taken. The food came out super fast and at first my husband was unsure about the size of his burritos because he’s a big eater but as soon as he took a bite he disregarded that thought he said it was soooo good and it had beans and rice with it to fill you he was stuffed at the end, I myself typically don’t care for Mexican food but I was astounded by the amazing flavors even just the tortilla had amazing flavor I cannot recommend more!

The food was delicious. Form the cheese dip to the street taco. Can't wait to come back. There was even a couple who just got married and was introduced to the whole restaurant. It was so sweet and beautiful when they walk in. That was real nice of them to do that. So I enjoyed myself very much.

Steak Fajitas 😎😎😎... Special thanks to Jose at Colorado Grill in Hot Springs, Arkansas for making our dining experience truly exceptional. My brother and I had the pleasure of indulging in the mouthwatering Steak Fajitas, and we were blown away by the tantalizing flavors and impeccable service. From the moment we stepped into Colorado Grill, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance. The restaurant exuded a rustic charm, creating a welcoming atmosphere that set the stage for a delightful meal. As we settled into our seats, Jose approached our table with a genuine enthusiasm that made us feel like honored guests. When it came time to order, we couldn't resist the temptation of trying the Steak Fajitas, a dish that came highly recommended. And boy, were we glad we did! The sizzling platter of marinated steak arrived at our table, accompanied by a colorful array of sautéed peppers and onions. The aroma alone was enough to make our taste buds tingle with anticipation. As we dug into the tender and perfectly cooked steak, we were treated to an explosion of flavors. The marinade had infused the meat with a delightful combination of spices, creating a harmonious balance that was both savory and tangy. The peppers and onions added a vibrant crunch and a hint of sweetness, complementing the steak beautifully. The portion size was generous, ensuring that we left the table fully satisfied. What truly elevated our dining experience, however, was Jose's impeccable service. He anticipated our needs with finesse, ensuring our drinks were always refilled and our plates were cleared promptly. His friendly demeanor and attentive nature made us feel valued as customers, and we appreciated his genuine passion for creating memorable experiences. Colorado Grill exceeded our expectations in every way, and the Steak Fajitas were undoubtedly the highlight of our meal. The combination of succulent steak, perfectly cooked vegetables, and the excellent service provided by Jose made for an unforgettable dining experience. We left the restaurant with satisfied appetites and smiles on our faces, eager to return for more culinary delights. If you find yourself in Hot Springs, Arkansas, make sure to pay a visit to Colorado Grill and indulge in their incredible Steak Fajitas. With their delectable flavors and exceptional service, it's an experience you won't want to miss.

I grade Tex-Mex spots in their fajitas and their nachos. BEST nachos of my life. Stopped to take a picture half-way through. Perfect ratios of steak and veggies on each chip. Perfectly melted shredded cheese, none of that “nacho cheese” from a bottle junk. Each bite was perfectly cooked, and then added to the chip at the end so none of those nasty soggy chips at the end. Got the “regular” instead of the large, and my big&tall self was absolutely satisfied.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Two words: SKILLET POTATOES! Omggggg this side is phenomenal. It’s like roasted sliced potatoes, onions and mushrooms and the flavor is so smokey and savory, I have to get this no matter what I’m having here. The atmosphere is fun, there’s so many levels to this place you probably won’t sit in the same area twice if you come around more than once. Which trust me, you will want to. All the food is really flavorful and it’s not your average Tex mex. The Aztec soup is kinda like a tortilla soup but a thousand times better and tastes like grandma made it with love and then smothered that love with melty queso. The grilled chicken is real, shredded chicken, not that weird squiggly curly Q meat you get at a lot of Tex mex places. Trust me, if you like Tex mex but are over the basic white queso on everything, bland salsa, and weird meat, COME HERE! There’s so much flavor even the chips taste better here.

First time coming in and this might be our new fav to visit for fajitas, margs, enchiladas and tamales. Everything we ordered was delicious.

The restaurant was nice on the inside. I wasn’t a big fan of their salsa but the food was pretty amazing. I ordered the Bronco Burrito and really liked it. The service was pretty good and we had a minimal wait for food for a table of 8 people. There was no wait to get in the restaurant. Definitely worth stopping by in you’re in the downtown area and want to eat off the main strip!

The worst possible service when it is not busy. The place does not respect different cultures. If you order vegetarian food it will have traces of meat. On top of it manager is “busy” catering to other people or avoiding? The service is horrible. It deserves a -1 star. The food deserves -3 stars. Not even remotely recommended.

Special thanks to Jose at Colorado Grill in Hot Springs, AR for providing us with an exceptional dining experience. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm welcome and seated in a comfortable booth. The atmosphere was chill and relaxing, perfect for a casual evening out. We were delighted when a basket of freshly made chips and salsa was brought to our table right away. The salsa had a perfect balance of flavors, and the chips were crispy and addictive. It was a great way to start our meal. For our appetizer, we opted for the Queso with Beef. The white queso was creamy and flavorful, with the tender ground beef adding a delightful savory element. Moving on to the main course, we decided to try the Steak Alambre and the 1/2 Pound Steak Sizzling Fajita. Both dishes showcased the kitchen's skill in cooking steak, they were incredibly tender and juicy. The flavors were well-balanced, and the portion sizes were more than satisfying. Throughout our meal, the staff at Colorado Grill was attentive and friendly. We felt well taken care of and appreciated their genuine hospitality. In addition to the delicious food and welcoming service, the restaurant itself felt authentic and we enjoyed the preserved historical parts of the . The cleanliness was evident from the moment we entered, and the beautiful decor added to the overall dining experience. In conclusion, our visit to Colorado Grill in Hot Springs, AR was a memorable one. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for a truly enjoyable evening. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Jose and the entire staff for their outstanding hospitality. If you're in the area and craving a satisfying meal, Colorado Grill is definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere is nice, service is good, the food was quick and it was delicious. The portion was just right, though as good as it was, I could've kept going. The garlic shrimp is awesome.

We're visiting from Texas For a family summer trip, and had just finished a round of Pirate's Cove mini golf. Initially, we had to wait about 10 minutes before we finally snagged a waitress and asked if she could find out who our server was. She wasn't sure, but said she'd take care of us. She got us a carafe of ice water very quickly, after taking our order. Hubs had a chicken sandwich and fries, our 12 year old had the waffle board, and I had the seafood salad. Everything was really good! It was a bit of a rocky start, but we're glad we hung around. Our server took good care of us, the live music was great, and the food was delicious. There was also a kind woman who helped us get parked and back out again when we left. If we find ourselves in Hot Springs again, we'll definitely be back.

FIVE STARS FOR THE MEATLESS MENU ITEMS! 🙌🏼🔥🙌🏼 seriously, the seasoned hand cut fries here are bomb, but add melty melty plant based cheese on top- HEAVEN and RARE!! If I was blindfolded I would give my last dollar that it was real cheese- I even asked the waitress. Now the ranch isn’t vegan so bring your own (Hidden Valley makes one) but we didn’t care, the fries were sensational. The buffalo cauliflower bites were a pretty big disappointment portion wise. It was 8.99 for the basket you see in the pics and it just wasn’t $10 worth honestly and more sauce than anything. However The flavor was really good but for that kinda money you can buy 3-4 heads of it and sauce it up at home so I recommend sticking with the vegan cheese fries as the app. They don’t skimp there at all! Now for the showstopper- the vegan Philly steak sub. HOLY MUSHROOM. Words hardly express the smokey, savory, “meaty” goodness that was that dang Philly. I also asked the waitress if it was real meat and cheese bc AGAIN, I couldn’t tell… it was that dang perfect. This completely took away any feeling I had about the sad cauliflower all day. I will have dreams about the fries and Philly til I die. I pride myself in being a pretty darn good cook and I’m at a loss on how to recreate that Philly. Don’t believe me? Try it or you’re missing out, seriously. And your heart and belly will thank you. As far as the pizza goes, it’s not my favorite kinda crust. Reminds me of that cheap Pizza Shack crust that’s kinda thin and floppy. But I always say even bad pizza is good pizza- and this isn’t bad pizza by any means. And THEY HAVE PLANT BASED PEPPERONI!!!!!!! Did I think it was real meat again? Yes. Yes I did. These guys are good. Too good. If you can’t find parking, don’t give up. Circle the block or get creative bc this place is definitely worth the experience, especially if you like a dive bar feel, fun atmosphere, awesome patio and BOMB FOOD.

I can't say enough good about Sam's Pizza! The service is as great as the food, anything I've ordered on the menu has always been very delicious. But Thursday night is steak night and hands down above all the places Hot Springs has to offer Sam's Pizza is the place to get the biggest most tender cooked to perfection Ribeye you will ever eat! Its is unreal delicious! Don't take my word for it try it for yourself! You can get to Sam's by boat or car which is another huge plus! Summer time on the lake we love a good pizza from Sam's! You can't go wrong no matter what you order!

Quaint place with very friendly employees. Food was good, but definitely a bit pricey for what you get. Loud music inside, pretty views out back. I wish I could give 4.5 stars.

I could have given a higher review. However, I was overcharged in tax, charged $2 for extra Ranch, and charged extra for using a credit card. My server was very nice. The food was really good and it was nice to look at the lake as I ate.

The server was really nice. The views were nice. We came in a boat so I give props for having boat access place to eat. The food is average to below average however. Was not impressed with the spinach and arugula salad or any of the burgers the rest of my party ordered. Go for the fun vibes and boat access and pretty cheap beer! I'd go again for those!

Tucked in a little community on the water, this is definitely a local's spot. Saturday night they had live music. Saw they had a full bar, too. Ordered cheese fries to start. Terrible. The menu says hamdcut fries but I find that hard to believe. They were hard as a rock and dry. The cheese wasn't hot. Waste of money. Got the pizzas. Thin crust and cooked just right. Good amount of toppings. They were just okay. Not really good but not bad. Service left a lot to be desired. Waitress didn't even ask about the uneaten fries. Never checked on us. Had to flag her down. No drink refills. The prices were way too high for what we got. I had such high hopes for this spot, but I'll leave it to the locals.

This restaurant has great views. You can look at the lake while eating. I had their cauliflower crust pizza and it was so good. I have Celiac Disease and this is one of the best gluten free pizzas I have eaten. My server was aware of my dietary restrictions and was very knowledgeable.

One of the best place for pizza, if you are visiting to Arkansas this spot is a must visit. The view and ambiance is great and the food was good as well.

OMG- so awesome! I’ve heard about this place and live about an hour away, but wanted to try it. Sooooo worth it. To all yall with the negative reviews- yall wrong! This is the best pizza I’ve ever had, but also, I love a thin crust. The crispy cheese around the edge is da’bomb! I had the meat lovers with basil, my son had the margarita with chicken- both delicious. And the service was spot on. My point- if you haven’t tried the pizza here, come, try the pizza here

The atmosphere is great here, and I love the looks of the interior. The parking is limited, so get here earlier if you want a parking spot. The food is good here, but I'm used to Louisiana Southern cooking and always hold high standards for taste. I was expecting a little more amount of pizza toppings than what came on the pizza. The pizza we're used to eating back home has large amounts of toppings on the pizza. But the pizza is delicious. It's just a preference. They also have boat access on the backside of the bar if you decide to go by boat. There is also a back patio to sit outside and enjoy your food while looking at the lake view.

Greasy family-owned business,! Excellent thin crust pizza, fantastic atmosphere and great view of Lake Hamilton! Would recommend it to anyone traveling to Hot Springs and looking for a combination of quality food and great views!

I wrote a very good review the first experience, this time I ordered pizza, BIG MISTAKE for me first the order was for crispy/well done. Because of the type of dough they use the pizza can NOT BE CRISPY without burning the cheese and toppings, ABSOLUTELY NO RISE TO THE DOUGH, some kind of thin flat thing, like a flower tortilla. Next I requested FRESH minced garlic which I was charged for $1.50 and received something minced in water with little to no flavor. Now the toppings onion and bell peppers, this was useless to have so finely minced that they were sparse to say the least. Now the price for 14" with so little cost involved to put this together I'd think the box they put it in cost more than the pizza to make. $20 Wow, bummer. I would say that they should remove the pizza from the menu. Hey owner(s) your other menu items even being pricier for what you serve are very good, all I see is the American way here, make LOTS OF MONEY. I personally will not return.

Fantastic food, great service, great ambiance and the live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights is awesome. Our waitress was the most patient and caring angel in Arkansas. The are a couple of private level 2 Tesla chargers on the side of the building which the owners have generously opened to others to use without charge (:-)). When we went dining there it did not have power. Parking is limited and internal combustion vehicles blocked the EV chargers.

Love Gabby and the regulars I met today. They welcomed me with open arms and a warm smile. New to town and looking for a cool spot to hang during the Spring and Summer time. This is the place and the beer is cold and the pizza is hot ! Yum. I will be back!

This was interesting. The restaurant itself is very cute. The servers were a little overworked which led to some delay in ordering and getting the food. The food itself was a twist on the regular Mexican fare we usually eat. The sauces they added made it tastier. We started with a plate of mini tamales - chicken, pork and chili cheese. The chicken was dry and I liked the chili cheese the best. The pork was ok. The salsa they had with the nachos was a little like a beans salsa as it had all sorts of beans along with the usual ingredients of onions, tomatoes, cilantro etc. Had a tangy kick and we liked it. For the main course, I got the quesadilla with chicken and my friend got the burrito and a chicken soup. I loved the quesadilla. It was way more filling that expected, looked attractive to eat with all the sauces, the rice accompanying it was fried and delicious (like Indian pulao) and the goat cheese inside elevated the dish. My friend liked her burrito also because of the medley of flavors. The chicken soup was bland and the kind that you want at the end of a cold day to warm yourself up. I liked it but she did not as much. The portions were big so we actually got 2.5 meals out of it. Good experience!

Great place to stop in while on the strip. It was a beautiful day so, we sat on the patio. It's tucked away out back of the restaurant but, it was spectacular. The wait staff was responsive and ensured we had what we needed all during our meal. I had the Cuban sandwich and I have to tell you, it was fresh and seasoned perfectly! I don't recall what me wife had but, I know she enjoyed it. I will definitely be back soon..

This restaurant has a warm feel, with beautifully presented plates. The service was a little odd, and lacking, at two hours before closing on a weeknight. I think the food actually seemed to come quicker than the drinks, if you were to compare the prep times. All and all, I would say that this is a fun place to try if you are in Hot Springs.

Enjoyed the Mexican food. Plates presentations are really good and have authentic Mexican flavor. Portion size is small for the size and compared to other Mexican restaurants. Vibe of the restaurant is little rustic and old town feel.

Some friends of ours raved about this place so we thought we'd give it a try. We were seated quickly and chips & salsa were brought right out. The salsa is a corn & black bean salsa that's very mild. The chips were of a medium thickness yellow corn. My wife wasn't a fan. I thought it was ok but the salsa wasn't something that would make me want to come back. The kids ordered enchiladas and quesadillas, my wife tamales, and I ordered Nana's Enchiladas which were chicken sour cream enchiladas. Everyone loved the rice. My wife really enjoyed her food and was wishing we had found this place on our last visit. I thought the food was good but there wasn't anything that would make me crave it. Service was a little slow. Many at our table were choking food down without anything to drink. We finally had to flag someone down to get a refill. Overall we enjoyed our meal and I would go back to try other menu items.

The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, trying to find a parking space wasn't the easiest thing (there is a pay lot a block away, but it's a hectic area). The only thing I thought was extraordinary was the presentation of the food, but the taste wasn't as fabulous. Don't get me wrong, it was good, and I might eat here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way just to eat here. It should be noted, that the outdoor patio is very nice and a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day or evening, but if you choose to eat outside, be aware that you'll have to go thru the restaurant, out the back, and up what send to be two flights of stairs.

The restaurant looks cool, and was busy during our visit. We sat on the patio- which was upstairs, beside the rocky wall and beneath the big trees. The ambiance was cool. We started with some drink and chips- salsa. The salsa with beans and corn was different, and good. We ordered for guacamole too, however the lady brought us some cheese dip, without any flaming on top!! The margarita that one of my friends ordered was good, but my mojito with coconut rum and pineapple was not that good 🙄. In the main course the food was good. The portion size was not humongous but tasty. In dessert we got a slice of key lime cheesecake and a slice of tres leches. They were decent. The service was not very good. The ladies did not listen to our need properly. They were only chatting and laughing however did not brought us napkins. We had to ask multiple times for the same stuff. Overall, I don’t want to return.

I would not go back. The food is Cuban, not Mexican. I knew this going in. They are very different spices and flavors. . For example, true Mexican enchiladas are not made with flour tortillas but corn. The salsa is very different as well. It wasn't bad but it wasn't my preference. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a lot of nice artwork.

If the weather permits, do yourself a favor and sit outside in the back. The scenery and feeling of being up in the mountains is the best part about this place. The food is fine, although you should know going in that it won’t be the standard Tex Mex you might expect. The flavors are more tropical than spicy. The plating is lovely - as you can see from the pictures. One star deduction for two reasons: we didn’t love the margaritas (they seemed like a generic mix, and pretty watered down), and while the plating LOOKS pretty, I believe the flavor of the dishes would have been improved had they added the sauces to the food itself rather than artfully swirled on the very edge of the plate.

This is my favorite place to eat in Hot Springs! The Ecuadorian-inspired cuisine is always tasty. Nothing beats sitting out on the hillside patio when the weather is warm! Amendment July 1: stopped in again today while I was in Hot Springs! The Ecuadorian influence is very apparent in the decor in the menu.

This stop is a must when you visit Hot Springs! The food and service are wonderful! Very friendly staff that didn’t let my water cup empty. The tamale plate was full of clean fresh flavors. The plates are plentiful as well. I wasn’t able to finish mine. Enjoy! You won’t regret it.

We absolutely love this place! Get the flaming cheese dip! I had Susu’s enchiladas and hubby had steak, chicken, shrimp fajitas. Wonderful service and cool atmosphere! Middle of downtown, easy walk from The Arlington. We got a bike carriage for $10.

Delicious food. Service was great! We had the same server twice in one day at two different restaurants.

We absolutely loved the food and the salsa… I could come here for the salsa and chips alone! Sooooo good!!!!!! Also, the food was like a work of art. Looks like the pictures!

Really enjoyed our experience. Food was great and reasonably-priced. I got this dish off a recommendation and did not regret it at all.

Was recommended by locals and boy were they right. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the outdoors seating was spectacular. Very much enjoyed eating here. The food has a South American style, I found out the chef is from Ecuador and tasting his dish shows he is very good. The blending of flavors into his style of cooking makes you want to come back for more. This place clearly earned 5 stars on multiple levels.

We stopped here for a late lunch so it was not busy. After salivating over the descriptions on the menu we ordered the sampler appetizer, the Don Quijote and the chicken enchiladas. The server informed us the enchiladas were "pre-made" which we soon discovered was code for soggy. The Don Quijote burrito was the highlight of the meal and was very filling. In hindsight the we should have avoided the appetizer as the large portions tipped us into a food coma in the afternoon. The food was good, nothing spectacular.

Ordered shrimp and chicken gumbo along with shrimp tacos and a side order of onion rings. The food temperatures and presentation were great. The chicken in the gumbo lacked the tenderness that I desired. The cilantro rice with shrimp tacos was also a little a la dente. It was an okay plate; the mango sauce caused the corn tortillas to fall a part after sitting a while. The side order of onion rings were great!!! Temperature was on point and they were not greasy. Would visit here again. Dining environment was quiet and welcoming.

Food was excellent. The waitress was so helpful when we had questions regarding the menu. I would have given this 5 stars however when I went to use the restroom prior to ordering almost made me feel like leaving. They really need to clean up their bathrooms!

Tried Jambalaya, Shrimp and Chicken dish with rice! Amazing taste, perfect mixture of spice, well cooked shrimp, chicken, and rice. Tried local beers on draft. They were good. Especially, the local lager available on that day (I dont know the name :( ... )

Best gumbo and Gator bites we have ever have. Would definitely recommend this place. Good sport for a drink too. Also, they had a special of Buddha balls. They were amazing, sadly there were gobbled up before I got a picture. Also ordered a shrimp Po boy to go and it was AMAZING.

After traveling all day from Tennessee we decided to call it a night at the La Quinta in Hot Springs Arkansas. The desk manager recommended the Blue Monkey Grill next door. After reading the reviews and the menu we decide to check them out. My lovely wife and I decided to order a few cocktails. She ordered a mojito and I ordered the Loaded Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary was one of a kind. We also ordered the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer, highly recommended and great portion size. The wife decided on the Chicken and Biscuit with a side of macaroni and cheese (out of this world) while I order the Cuban with a side of onion rings. Both meals were outstanding. The service by Rachel T was also outstanding, along with her menu recommendations. Be sure to bring an appetite. 12/22/23.

So I won't waist any money here first the picture is of my kids med well done burger its raw. Second the southwest chicken egg rolls with advacio sauce has no flavor bland as could ever be. Then I get a blacked chicken sandwich that a complete joke. There was more onion on the sandwich than chicken. But hey that might be what you enjoy in life

We stopped by here because of how popular it seemed to be. My brothers ordered the rib plate with different sides, my mom had grilled salmon and I ordered the Bleu Monkey Shrimp. Man it was all pretty delicious and fresh. My only small complaint was the rice that came in my dish was kind of dry but it was nothing that soaking it in the sauce couldn't fix. The ribs were tender and fell apart easily. Asparagus were the biggest stalks I've seen but they were cooked perfectly. Oh my goodness, the sweet potato waffle fries we ended up ordering two orders of because we couldn't get enough of how crisp they were.

The food service in atmosphere we're all good. I had the highly customizable hamburger and french fries. I added pulled pork to the hamburger and it was delicious..the side of honey mustard was so good. My friend had the pasta. I can't remember our server's name but she was excellent.

A cute find wedged between two hotels, but not to be missed! Atmosphere was nice and when you walk in its very welcoming. We decided to sit in the bar area in a booth which is serviced by the bartenders. They were a little busy so we waited a bit for anyone to greet and take our drink orders. Our server was very nice and we could tell both girls were busy filling drink orders but once she came over she took our order and the food came out pretty fast. Our food was delicious and they give you plenty, servings were very generous. Keith got the half rib plare with two sides and it was enough for two people, we couldn't imagine what the full slab would look like. I had the Greek salad with steak on it and was a large salad, I couldn't finish it all. The restaurant had large screen TV's everywhere, so if you're a sports fan this would be your sort place to enjoy watching your favorite team! They have a nice covered patio area and to my surprise, it's pet friendly! As we were leaving, I noticed a dog out there, so I went out and spoke with the dog's owner to make sure pets are welcomed and they are! So on our next visit, we will bring our Jolie Fleur! I can say if you are looking for tasty food and plenty for the money, with a comfortable sports bar feel, this is it! Try stopping in if your in the area and drop me a thumbs up or comment! I will reply!

Better watch out for that intense bloody mary and that bang bang shrimp. My husband has the jambalaya. All of it was really delicious. If you like some spicy stuff come here.

Really good food, low price and great portions. Chill atmosphere and you can tell the locals eat here. They have fried plantains 🤗

Lots of tasty and diverse menu items. Napa chicken and fish tacos are excellent.

Lots of flavor! Perfect spice and heat for me in our dishes. Service was good, good and casual. Visited on slow Sunday afternoon , had cozy booths. Will be back to try several other items!

Simply AMAZING! The food, the venue, the attention to detail, and the wonderful staff all made my husband’s 50th birthday party a night to remember. Penny, Lauren, Quinta, and Paula treated us like family. Our guest felt so welcomed and truly loved being able to experience this Hot Spring, Arkansas gem!

Dinner was delicious. Hubby and I shared the 16oz. steak special. We were very pleased with our meal and our service. Kudos to all staff. Wonderful and great attitudes. SPECIAL kudos to Jonathan. He was WONDERFUL! If ever you decide to wine and dine at this restaurant just ask for him. He’s AWESOME!

Food was delicious! Price and portions were spot on. Tristan our server offered such service too! Tall ceilings. Music very faint so yall can talk. Reservation was honored well. And did I say the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly??? Made my vacation!

The food was very good .Had the porterhouse, which was cooked to order. Flavor was spot on. The only thing that did not make the night great. The waiter brought 3 salads and did not return with mine. Table for 4 and 3 salads. Hmm. Other than that this place is awesome.

We had an enjoyable evening at The Porterhouse. Our call for reservations was answered promptly and the person was helpful and friendly. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated immediately. The atmosphere was very nice. As soon as we were seated, a lady brought us ice water and let us know our server would be by shortly to get our drink orders and tell us the specials. She also stopped by our table numerous times to keep our waters refilled and rolls fresh. The rolls were quite good. Jeff, our server, took amazing care of us from start to finish. We ordered the Crab Stuffed Mushroom & the Carb Cakes as appetizers. Both were very good. The sauce was amazing. If I had to choose only one, I would choose the mushroom. It added moisture and a depth of flavor that was absent in the Crab cake. We had the Cesar salad & the Strawberry Vinaigrette salad. The Cesar was nice & the Strawberry Vinaigrette good. Our entrees were the Tortellini and the Swordfish. The Tortellini is really something special. I would come here just for it alone. The Swordfish was good, the rice pilaf was superb and the vegetables were excellent. Dessert was the Bourbon Bread Pudding. It was AMAZING. Easily the best bread pudding I've ever enjoyed. From start to finish our evening was 5 stars. We will be back and highly recommend The Porterhouse.

The Porterhouse did not disappoint this weekend! Meghan was our outstanding waitress. She made us feel so welcome. She was so attentive, and we never had to ask for anything. Our steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection. After dinner, we went to the bar for a nightcap. Greg made an outstanding espresso martini! I cannot wait for our next trip to the Porterhouse!

The bone in rib-eye and the Chilean sea bass were superb!! Staff was courteous and friendly. Great service and great food! Definitely worth it!

My wife and I are celebrating 40 years of marriage. The Porterhouse, and our server, Cooper added to our wonderful weekend. We were greeted promptly, seated at our reservation time. When seated we were provided water and bread very quickly and asked for our drink orders. Cooper was exceptional during the entire evening. The food was perfectly prepared and the portions were significant. I highly recommend Porterhouse for a wonderful experience. Be sure to look around and take in the old school charm of the building that will take you back into the early 1900’s. 5 stars!

What a beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere is classic and inviting. Tones of a bygone era. Our server was extremely attentive. The food was perfect. From the fresh rolls to a perfect side salad. Asparagus in season and garlic mashed potatoes did not disappoint. The Lamb was the crown. Full flavor and cooked to perfection. The steak was absolutely perfect. Rare beyond expectations, perfect to my taste. Skills of an experienced chef. Bravo! Tiramisu was Phenomenal! Great finish. We will return.

This place is Awesome. Our Server Harry was so nice, bubbly and friendly. He told us the specials and recommended foods. Very jovial. The food was Amazing. We had the Coconut Shrimp Trio, the Chicken Cordon Blue, the NY Strip, the Ribeye w/ Bourbon and Blue Cheese, Baked Potatoes, Vegetables, 3 Salads and a Strawberry Salad. The Drinks were good. They kept our basket of Rolls full at all times and our water glasses stayed full. It was my daughter's birthday. Harry heard us talking about it. When he brought out her Tiramisu, it had a lit candle. He didn't sing, because he said he was a terrible singer. We also had the delicious Cheesecake. We had a fun, Amazing experience. Will definitely be back

We visited The Porterhouse during our anniversary spa weekend, and we were treated to a very fine dining experience. The wait staff was incredibly attentive, and even had jokes. The food was delicious and every detail mattered. 10/10 great job Porterhouse

The best service in Hot Springs! The hostess, our server, and the guy refilling water provided some of the best service we experienced while in hot springs! The food was delicious and the restaurant was very intimate. Perfect for a date night! We were celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary and couldn’t be happier with our experience!

I’ve had every steak nationwide , not only is this the best price, (bang for buck) outstanding flavor and service all around 10/10 and that is hard for me to say. Server Carly was an expert on menu/experience.

The steak was delicious and we ordered it medium and it was cooked to perfection.our watier was very nice(Jeff). Bathrooms were clean and the flooring was clean was well

I loved my filet minon but do not order the swordfish. That swordfish was past its prime, and I wish they had not served it to my husband. It made the experience awkward. The service was great, the ambiance stellar, but the food requires a revamp immediately.

We loved the restaurant. We loved our server Amy. The food was great. Amy was the best server we have ever had anywhere. Love that you can get steak and it comes with baked potato, veggie, and a salad. Not a la cart. Great business. Great server Amy.

I honestly thought Gordon Ramsey was going to walk out and tell me to stop eating the food! The only good thing here was the service. When we walked in everyone was super friendly and I thought it was going to be an excellent meal for my birthday. Our server Harry was amazing and at least we can leave with a good memory of having a friendly serving experience. THE FOOD WAS HORRIBLE! We ordered the porterhouse for two, which I was expecting to be high quality for the steep price of $145. WRONG!! The food came thrown together on one plate(honestly our 2 year old could have plated this better) and tasted like something that we would pull off our grill after a Saturday evening cookout at our house. I swear that all the food was bought from Walmart or somewhere similar and there is nothing wrong with that but for $145 you should be serving high quality meats that are not difficult to cut through. We ordered medium rare but it was super tough and had a lot of fat on the steak. This was the first time I have ordered a steak from anywhere and could not eat it all. Mainly because it took me a few minutes to cut through it. We should not be drinking from plastic straws for $145 or getting served our salad dressing in plastic containers. Now I am up at 3am with a stomachache and regretting our decision to eat there. It was a last resort because everywhere else was booked up but we honestly should have gotten up when we saw the quality of everything. They have Michelin star prices for fast food quality.

Ok, so steak was worth it. Appetizers were good. I didn’t care for the blue cheese dressing but other than that salad was good. Setting was very casual, paper napkins, laid back wait staff but food was good. Prices were not cheap but could use table cloths and cloth napkins to set accurate ambiance.

Wow. My chicken parmesan was delicious. Couldn’t finish it. The 4oz steak was $23 and the 6oz was $39 due to Market Price and shortages. My kids could have eaten the 6oz but in order to get them desert, I told them to order the smaller size. As for the food, my son loved the fries and the devoured the steak quickly. My husband woofed his down too. The salad did look like it was lettuce from a Walmart bag. Maybe change up the type of lettuce used. I did appreciate how they turned the fans on outside when they realized we were hot. The waitress kept our drinks refilled and finally smiled half-way through our meal when I mentioned her complacent facial expression. These times are difficult for anyone representing a product or service as all price increases are forcing the representatives to constantly “break the news” to consumers. My advice to the owner and wait staff is if you shine ✨ through the challenges, the rewards are sure to come! Keep up the good work!

Everything was great. The food, the atmosphere on the deck. My steak was amazing. Great service. We will definitely be back!

MUST GO IN HOT SPRINGS!! We went on Friday night for my wife’s birthday and had Ernie as our waiter and he was incredible. Very knowledgeable about the area and had great advice on the menu. Food was amazing as well. The loaded fries appetizer is to die for. Cajun ribeye and shrimp, chicken pasta, and dessert were off the chain.

We really enjoyed our meal here last night. We didn’t have super high expectations but our steaks were very good and flavorful. I recommend getting them cooked medium rare!

Went with a group that recommended this place. Ordered a 22 oz steak that couldn't have been 16 ounces! Spent nearly $200 for me my wife and daughter and I've had bigger and better flavored steaks at outback.. the service and atmosphere is nice but the food was WAY overpriced for what you get. We visit Hot Springs a good bit but there's several other steak places in town that will get my future business..

Dishonest location. We were presented with a menu and then we’re told that those were not the prices. I did explained to the server that this was illegal. They were apologetic but still charged us some other prices and on top of that charged us extra for one of their sides and were not even told verbally about it.

OMG I ATE HERE FOR MY BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT WITH MY FIANCE 🥳🎂🎈 THIS PLACE WAS EVERYTHING🤌🌹 I HAD A BACON WRAPPED FILLET MIGNON LOBSTER TAIL CRAB LEGS TWICE BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE 🤤😋 HE ENJOYED A COWBOY STEAK MEAL 🤣IT WAS HUGE & PERFECTLY COOKED♟️YOU GUYS ARE REAL DEAL WILL BE VISITING AGAIN 🥂 THE VIEW IS PERFECT & BREEZE ON THE DECK WE LOVED IT🤸🏌️

The food was good, but overall absolutely insane price point. The place was dead when we arrived, 4 staff members were lounging in the front door area and about 4 more staff members were standing by the grill. The decor is much like an average sports bar and grill, nothing at all that would lead you to suspect the outrageous prices. Not to mention, there was a hole in the bathroom wall with electrical wires coming out of it around one of the lights. The chairs were hard, the table was sticky and looked as though all traces of a clear coat of paint had been worn off. I recently went to Red Lobster for my birthday and I got the Ultimate Feast which includes half a pound of snow crab, a lobster tail, grilled shrimp, fried shrimp and 2 sides for $45. Tell me why I was charged $79 for a tiny fillet mignon and lobster tail!? I also recently went to Outback Steakhouse and for 2 adult meals with steak, drinks, and 2 appetizers my total was less than my meal and a childs meal here. The lobster was tough so I only ate half and the bacon around the fillet mignon was soggy. That being said the steak and baked potato was fantastic. Not at all worth $79, but it was good. Also despite the place being very overstaffed and dead, service wasn't great. I can't say we'll be back or recommend this place to anyone.

This restaurant is on Lake Hamilton with great views! The crawfish bisque had just a touch of heat but was delicious! The steaks were cooked to order and had a great flavor. The wine and cheese salad dressing is phenomenal! They offer loaded mashed potato casserole, which was really good, but if you like mushrooms OMG. they are wonderful! While in Hot Springs, give this locally owned place a try. Oh, and they provide a full bar for all of your cocktail needs.

Went with my pops and bro on a Friday night and loved the atmosphere. Cool layout for a place and the food was good! Steaks honestly seemed not personally worth the price tag after tasting the steak my Dad ordered. Not a $71 steak imo but it was not bad, just to be clear, just not worth $71. My blackened chicken alfredo however was REALLY good!! Chocolate cake was on point too for dessert. Didn't have desserts listed on the menu or that they even offered any so almost didn't get one because of that just fyi. Will def go back just prolly not getting a steak 😬 Overall 7/10 - Food was good just a little pricey vs the quality of everything

We love everything about Back Porch Grill. ❤️ Food, service, & atmosphere has us coming in town several times a year, just to eat here❣️ The absolute best steak for the price in Hot Springs!

I travelled to Hot Springs this week, and Back Porch Grill was recommended to my group by previous visitors. It was beyond 100° Real Feel temp outside, so we opted to sit indoors, but they do have outdoor seating on an uncovered deck by the lake, which would be a lovely setting in more accommodating temperatures. The actual grill is open and visible to most/all patrons seated indoors, and I felt like that made the room a bit uncomfortably warm in these summer temps. Our server was a charming and friendly man--I think his name is Ernie, but I could be wrong. He was helpful in our decisions on what to order, which I always appreciate! I decided on the Red Snapper that was covered with a Cajun cream sauce, and it was sooooo good! It was a large portion and came with a salad and a potato side, all for about $32 (not including drinks). One friend ordered the least expensive steak (flat-iron?), and another got a pasta with shrimp and chicken. Everyone liked their food, and I would definitely go back, although it's all a little pricey for my liking (you could easily spend $50-100+ per diner, if you wanted, but there are lots of options that fit in the $30-50 range). If you're a steak person, it's probably going to be right up your alley, though! I think for me, their seafood is where it's at.

This place is awesome! We both got the 4oz filets and they were cooked perfectly. The twice baked potato casserole was delicious! Added the mushrooms which is a must and enough for two to share. Our best meal in town so far and the service was great! This is how it should be.

Joey is a very considerate and welcoming man, the food here is great and his service makes everything even better！

They have dairy free milkshakes! I got the soy milkshake with an add in of Oreo, very good. They give you so much milkshake; and the food was pretty good. The chips aren’t great, neither was the impossible burger because it was undercooked - but they took it off our ticket which was nice! Everything else was really good! I liked the fries a lot, and even though the diner scene isn’t my favorite, it wasn’t incredibly cold in there which good.

My daughter and I stopped in after a day trip to Hot Springs. This place was listed under one of the best restaurants in the area to bring children, and I understand why! My daughter had a bit of a meltdown when we arrived. Staff tried to help me calm her down with colors and stickers. They treated her with kindness, which is so important to me. Our server was absolutely amazing. He checked on us often and helped me with everything that I needed. We ordered one of the purple vanilla shakes to share, and she absolutely loved it. The color made her excited, and she drank a lot of it. She also loved her mac and cheese. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with Cajun spice, and it was so good! It was very juicy and nicely seasoned. The sweet potato fries with honey were also delicious. The decor is whimsical and cute. I loved seeing all the cows and the color purple everywhere. 💜

We came to the purple cow because they had vegetarian and vegan options and it did not disappoint! The beyond beef burger was delicious on a whole wheat bun and they had a gluten free bun available with additional charge. The berry salad with glazed pecans and herbed cheese was amazing but the Carmel dressing was incredible on it! They had dairy free soy vanilla bean ice cream and it was very yummy too. Thanks for having vegan and vegetarian options! Our waitress was patient, helpful, and we did not wait long for our food or dessert.

Overall, about 2.5 stars..... To be honest, we were disappointed. Here's the good: 1) Service - our server was awesome. Friendly and engaging, courteous and prompt. She was great! 2) Atmosphere - Very Clean, well lit, bright, colorful, with upbeat music (although a bit too loud) The Not So Good: 1) The Food - The burgers were, at best, Mediocre. The hamburger patties reminded me of those frozen pre-made patties you get put of the freezer section at the grocery store - the taste and texture was just like those. The "fresh cut chips" were OK, but they didn't seem that fresh and weren't real impressive. The Onion Rings (part of the Rodeo Burger) were pretty Good. 2) The Prices - Pretty steep for the quality. $25 for the two of us (a burger each and one glass of sweet tea) We were excited to try The Purple Cow, But left feeling VERY disappointed. Needless to say- won't be going back.

Everything we received was great! Loved the fried mushrooms and my club sandwich was OMG!!! The service was great and she was on point of refills. The only thing I can say is the wait time for shakes were little too long, but everything else was awesome🙌

This place has a great atmosphere. The wait staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was tasty too! The chillies in the chilli burger actually showed some flavor. Good cook on the burger meat too.

Must try. It was delicious. & the old school vibe was my favorite. The food was very good. I loved that they had turkey burgers(im one who can't have beef and pork &appreciates this) the Elvis milkshake was great!

Cute retro styled restaurant! Excited to learn they had vegan options, so we had to try them out. Not disappointed. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was great as well as the shakes and floats.

Visit and get yourself some purple ice cream. For adults they make some good Bloody Mary's and the Grasshopper is a good alternative. All the food was made with love. The wife hasn't raved over a meal in months. The kids ate up all their food so they could all have purple ice cream. Will visit any time we visit Hot Springs.

First time here and wanted to try the purple shake and purple pie. The shake was good. The pie was ok. The pie would've been better if it was a purple cheesecake instead.

Great restaurant to eat! I ordered a garden burger & my fiancé ordered a grilled rueben sandwich. As a side, we both ordered onion rings and sweet potato fries. Kristen was our server and she was the best 👍🏻 Highly recommend this restaurant

Truly amazing! Came here twice in the past 3 days. Food was phenomenal. We especially loved the burgers, the Caesar salad, and the chips & cheese dip. Waiter on the first day was very efficient & quick as lightning! We were in & out of the restaurant in 30 mins. Waitress on the second day was lovely, and never let our water cups go below the halfway point. Love the purple diner atmosphere inside. Very high quality. Happy Eclipse Day!

Great meal. Fancy cow themed decor. Great desserts. I did have an issue with the scan a code to pay. I still am not sure it actually charged me. I filled in every question but no acknowledgement ever popped up. Tried several times so I hope I did it correctly.

It is a purple dream for those who LOVE Purple! I have to say I was impressed! We don’t have these in Texas!! I couldn’t wait to taste the purple vanilla shake. It was good, but it’s a mind twister because it doesn’t taste like it looks and I didn’t taste the vanilla, but it didn’t taste purple either. But it was still Good!! So was the dessert pie. It would have been better with an Oreo crust which is what we thought it would have. But still Good!! The waitress Trinatee was a delight too! She was very attentive to our needs and making sure we were well taken care of. If I lived in Arkansas we would definitely be frequent diners!!

We stopped by just for an ice cream. Although the place was packed with families with kids, we were seated right away on the patio (which is dog friendly). The service was very fast although we would have appreciate the desserts being served together not one 10 min after the 1st. The desserts were generous and good for the price. I only give 3 stars because of the overall lack of cleanness in this place. I do understand it can be hard to keep up when the place is crowed with kids, but still… obviously our table had not been cleaned at all and I had to change my seat because of remaining food on it.

We were hungry and a party of eight. Alleigh was phenomenal and even paused while we blessed the food and said amen. Food was quite good, and so were the milkshakes. I was amazed at how quick our order came out for a large party. Our whole party was impressed with the whole experience. Y'all did great- visitors from Tennessee.

The food was amazing here. We dined in with a party of 4 and everyone of us loved our burgers. They serve a little of everything here and the atmosphere was really great and welcoming. Two of us got the firehouse burgers and they are spicy for sure but such a great burger. One got the smokehouse burger and is was very good and the other one got the five alarm burger which was also a great choice. Our server did a good job but could be improved on the drink refill a little better but other than that she was great. The service was great and I highly recommend this establishment to everyone! First time eating here and will be a return customer!

We had a great time with our family. Our service and food was great. The entertainment of the Grill Master was fun. The taste was excellent and fresh.

Our chef was great and funny the staff were very attentive and the food was perfect. The host on the other hand was rude and disrespectful. We had a party of twenty and he was extremely rude to everyone in our party. If we ever go back and he is hosting I will walk back out eat somewhere else. Sorry to the rest of the staff.

BEST SUSHI AND HIBACHI EXPERIENCE IN HOT SPRINGS! Look no more and just do yourself a favor and go here. This place has such a beautiful ambiance and atmosphere and it feels truly authentic walking in. The lighting is dim and the place is really big, clean and cozy. There is the basic tables you can sit at or you can have an awesome seating experience at the tatami tables where you remove your shoes, walk up some lovely wooden steps and sit at a table where the cushions are on the “floor” but the table is low in the floor so it just seems like your sitting on the floor. It’s lovely and really private feeling. I love this for romantic dinners or just wanting to feel close and cozy. There’s also some seating at the bar with lots of drink options and sake, the sushi bar where you can watch the master at work, and then the action seating at the hibachi tables where they cook in front of you. No matter where you sit in this place, it’s a wonderful experience and they offer the best, most savory and delicious Japanese cuisine hot springs has to offer. This is definitely the go to spot for date nights and any time you want to WOW someone. I highly recommend the GEISHA roll- it’s not fried but it’s covered in four delicious sauces and WOW it’s heavenly I swear. Back in the day I was obsessed with the fried rolls and if that’s your jam, the OH MY GOD roll is where it’s at. This used to be a staple but now my tastes want all the fresh it can take so the geisha is my home now. Next, whether you are getting hibachi or not, make sure to get the ginger dressing on a side salad. It’s the best dressing I’ve ever had that I buy a large container for the house now every couple of months. This dressing is so good I drink the last bits left in the bowl without any shame. The house soup with the clear broth is also another simple favorite of mine and it’s also very drinkable 😂 as far as entrees go, man, it’s tough bc I love so much they have to offer. I love the lunch bento boxes with the teriyaki… the hibachi is great for an impressive show and dinner with strangers…. But the udon soup and yakisoba noodle dishes are hard to pass up too. Sometimes I have to get an entire other entree to go for later bc it’s too hard to have just one entree here since everything is so dang tasty. This place really is a landmark in this town and has been for a long time. The owners are wonderful people who treat you like family and they love to help you decide when it comes to the menu. When going with a fun group it’s fun to try wild new things from the sushi and sashimi menu like baby octopus and quail egg shooters. I personally don’t recommend the baby octopus bc we tried that once and for one the texture isn’t my jam and second, it feels weird having an entire infant animal on a plate with a bunch of others. But it’s definitely a conversation piece to say the least! All in all, no matter how many hibachi sushi spots pop up in Hot Springs, this is the ring leader here yal.

Very nice! Clean, friendly staff great food!

Unexpected and tasty! Tempura app was crunchy and fried to perfection. The Tasty Tuna roll was 10/10. The pork katsu was great with the egg, vegetables and rice - our waitress told us it was a very traditional dish in Japan. Would highly recommend!

Loved the food, the chef was fun! Food was great. Flavor was unparalleled! One thing I would like to see is leftovers or to go put into biodegradable containers and not styrofoam. It’s not healthy for you or the environment. Besides that, love this place and we will be back!

I made reservations for 10 for our company dinner and when we arrived I told them there would only be 7 of us. We had to wait for all our party and then additional time before they finally got around to seating us. They wanted to seat us the farthest from the hibachi grill but I said why can't we sit closer to the grill since there were only 7 of us and she said sure that's fine. They then seated another group of 4 with us (at the seats she originally wanted to put us). We continued with our dinner with soup and salad while the chef served up fried rice for the 5 who ordered it then the shrimp, then the steak and finally the chicken. He pretty much offered rice and shrimp to everyone as an appetizer (even our 4 additional guests) even if they hadn't ordered it. He seemed confused as he started serving the chicken and finally he gave it all to the 4 extra guests. I was the only one in our group to order chicken but received none. One person in our group said didn't you order chicken and still the chef said nothing. Since it took the longest to cook, I wasn't about to ask him to start all over and my group have to sit while my food was cooked. We were charged for 2 extra fried rice and the chicken. I tried to call about it but never could get an answer during the holiday season. Their food is excellent if you actually get it. We had a friendly group but the additional guests at our table seem to create a problem for the chef.

This was one of the other choices we had for dinner. We’re visiting here in Hot Springs and wanted to try something we don’t have back home, but everything lease closes too early. We seated at hibachi grill(you must know that’s not real hibachi, it’s actually teppan) and omg! Our chef was awesome!!! He joked a lot and was very entertaining 🙌 We all had great time and food was of course great😊

We are big sushi fans and this place has proven time and time again to be delicious! Last night I tried the candy crush roll and it was amazing! Lots of spicy crab mixture and color explosion of fish eggs. Top it off with all the carrots they have shredded in the center and it has about every color in the rainbow on it. I’ll definitely be adding this one to my list of favorites! They’re also kid friendly and have the option to split your plate, adding an extra salad and soup for a little over $3 at their hibachi table. If you like a traditional atmosphere, they have tables in another section where you sit on a cushion on the floor. No shoes allowed over there and the volume is kept at a respectful level. I can’t wait to go back!

We got takeout, and it was amazing! I’m dealing with a dairy allergy, and the lady who took our order was very knowledgeable and helpful to accommodate. We got plenty of food and it was delicious. They have the traditional seating where you take off your shoes and sit on pillows, then they have tables and also hibachi. No problems at all. Love this place and will visit again.

This place never disappoints!! Amy is always so kind & makes you feel at home!! I could eat here everyday and never get tired of it! The Tuna Tower with fresh tuna is hands down my favorite!!

The food was sooooo good! So so good! Spicy mayo is key for me when I order sushi. Theirs was delicious! Our food took a little while to come out but, it was well worth it. They did not disappoint. They offer salad with ginger dressing (creamy) it too had a great flavor. If I could give more than 5 stars for the flavor and quality, I would. They have average prices for sushi these days. I'd say about $13+ for specialty rolls. The drinks were reasonably priced as well.

It really is the Best Cafe! First let me say this is the first review I've ever done online, but I couldn't help sharing this great option. We had the mimosa flight. So many great choices and all were wonderful and unique. We had the pork belly, poached eggs and Gouda grits, which was perfectly done. The creme brulee French toast was the best my wife and I have ever had (and I don't even like French toast!) The duck bacon is a must try! We will definitely be back. The atmosphere and food were perfect!

What a pleasant surprise this place was! You can tell when there's real love going on in the kitchen. Some truly sublime brunch items and patio seating. We were on a waitlist for half an hour and it was actually quite worth it. No need to go downtown to the touristy breakfast places (anything with "pancake" in the name). A true gem. We had the crème brûlée French toast, the whipped yogurt bowl, and the confit pork belly skillet hash(!) - all highly recommended. There's not much atmosphere but it is comfy and the outdoor covered patio is a nice option if you keep the sun out of your eyes. Serious Yum.

This is hands-down the best place for breakfast or brunch in Hot Springs! I would go as far as to say it is worth a 45 minute drive. Time and time again the chefs here prove their culinary magic. I have no strings attached to this restaurant… It is just me and my wife’s favorite and we want others to enjoy. I would recommend either the corned beef hash or the sausage and cream cheese omelette.

We had an exceptional breakfast here this morning. Everything was great. We didn't have to wait to be seated, all the staff we interacted with were so pleasant and happy to help; they seemed like they didn't hate their jobs. The food was AMAZING, so fresh, and had amazing flavor profiles. Even the coffee and plates felt special. It definitely felt like an elevated brunch experience. I'll be going back soon!

Cutest little breakfast place and the food and drinks are TOP notch. Sit at the bar or out on the patio (can bring your pup!!)- ambiance at both is so quaint and fun. Friendly staff. Again, truly yummy food. Must stop if you are going through and looking for a great breakfast (they do lunch too) place!

The friendliest service ever. Everyone who works there is amazing. I forgot my purse at our table and our waitress ran it out to me as we walked back to our car. She saved my travel plans!!! We had such a good brunch. I ordered pancakes with blueberries and strawberries. Super good. Love this place!

The food here was fabulous. The service was very friendly. I didn't get to try the flights, but they looked scrumptious. The pecan waffles were excellent, though, and so was the French toast. My only regret is that I couldn't try more items on the menu! It's a little off of the main street with the tourist attractions in Hot Springs, so wait time on a Sunday wasn't as bad as other restaurants in that area.

We heard about this cafe from the chef when we were celebrating our anniversary dinner at The Vault. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the experience here. The breakfast was something you would expect from a five star hotel, the presentation of the food was stunning and the combination of flavors was beyond stellar. I had to order the crème brûlée French toast as per recommendation from the chef we met at The Vault & I cannot agree more… this is and will always be my favorite French toast of all time, period. Even the yogurt parfait & banana toast my husband ordered was beyond beautiful to view on the plate but equal parts delicious in flavor. The amount of care that goes into the dishes here is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced for breakfast and I am SO HAPPY this was our last meal before we left town to head home. It was the perfect send off.

Sat outside on the patio on a nice Sunday morning around 8 am. Nice atmosphere; got the friend chicken and waffle Benny. Presentation was delightful and the food tasted great too! Highly recommend!

It was great. I had the French toast with sausage. Never thought about crunchy french toast before, but it was delicious. The giant slice of brioche with caramelized creme brulee on top, with berries and powdered sugar. Everything worked perfectly! The sausage was a different tasting treat as well, not to mention the lattes! Definitely recommend if you want classic food with modern twists and a great atmosphere.

Oh.My.Deliciousness. True to its name, this is THE BEST CAFE and brunch we have EVER had! The Crème Brûlée French Toast and Duck Omelette were both foodgasmic! So unique and delectable. Absolutely worth ANY wait they have! We ate outside on the side patio and enjoyed every bite of our meals. They have a super cute selfie spot on the patio stage and the whole place is simply darling. So glad we found this gem off the main strip. And had we not eaten here, we never would have stumbled across one of the 33 markers on the Historic Baseball Trail right down the street in front of the courthouse (see my review on that awesome scavenger hunt)!

Absolutely phenomenal. Try the lavender latte. The patio was heated and lovely. Our waitress was wondeful. I wish we had time in our trip to go back.

OMG BEST CHICKEN I have had in a longgggg time! Now I’m talking about the chicken that comes with the waffles. AMAZING! I have never been too crazy about this combo before. I know it’s a thing but I’m not the biggest sweet tooth so I always gravitated to the savory things in life- this dish is alllllll savory and the sweet that’s involved is so perfectly balanced I hardly noticed bc the chicken flavor was so impressive I can’t wait to order more next time. Every thing else has been really delicious too. If you love veggies and want a healthy light meal, try the Teff Love. It’s made with wild local mushrooms from Garden Of Love and it’s sensational. The whipped yogurt bowl is heaven if you love these kinda meals, and it’s got so much goodness in it with the pollen, honeycomb, seeds and granola, it’s definitely the best I’ve had. Eggs Benny was perfect with some addicting hollandaise sauce and the Best Waffles were spot on and had delicious flavors that I appreciate bc anyone can make a pancake but it takes some love to make them standout. This is by far my favorite brunch spot yet in town. It has the menu, the flavors, the friendly staff, and a lovely ambiance with history. It’s a smaller space but you never feel crowded and there’s a nice patio outside for beautiful days too. You gotta try this lovely gem, it’s worth it and they are called the Best Cafe for a reason.

The handmade sausage patties were superb. The French toast was yummy as well. I didn’t care for the extra charred parts of it (I get that’s part of the whole creme brûlée process…), so a little personal tasting there. But the fresh fruit on top with it made it spot on!

Yummy unique brunch options. Good drinks. Semi small portions for price. I ordered the duck omelette which was good. The quoted a long wait time then it was short which was fine but surprising it was so different from estimated.

One word. Amazing! We were staying in the adjoining cottages or might not have even noticed this amongst the touristy breakfast spots getting all the attention. This was HANDS DOWN the 'best' meal we had during our stay. I had Creme Brulee French Toast and wife.had the eggs Benny. The lunch menu looked delicious as well, but this was our heading out meal so didn't get to try it.

We found this great little coffee shop while visiting the area for the very first time. The atmosphere is great and the owners were amazing! We're still enjoying our freshly roasted coffee.

By far the best coffee in town. I could leave a long post detailing every reason why, but I think you should just go see for yourself! There's a reason many establishments in Hot Springs use Red Light roasts and blends. My last visit I had a breve, vanilla lavender, latte - lightly sweetened. Outstanding as always!

Great coffee. Better conversation. Masters of their craft. Cozy ambience. Commitment to quality. The kind of people you just want to give your money to. Pillars of the Hot Springs community. Highly recommend. 10/10

This place is a local gem! The atmosphere is vintage and super comfortable. As a former student, I would come here to do homework and enjoy some amazing ice coffee. They have a lot of healthy alternatives, and I think it is super important to support local businesses! This shop has cute knickknacks and just has a calm vibe. If you are in town on a Sunday morning, bring a book and enjoy some coffee here, Red Light perfectly captures Hot Springs!

Coffee is smooth and delicious. The atmosphere is subtly magical with whimsical art prints for sale, homemade caramels, and an awesome porch area.

Nice atmosphere, very cute. We came because of reviews for GF waffles but they haven’t served them in 2 1/2 years. Very disappointed when we found that out. They did have GF muffins which were good, and the coffee was good.

Really cool atmosphere, it's a little bit outside of the downtown area but a fun little drive and place. Would love more of a food selection but I don't think they even have the room for that.

Such a cute spot. Amazing gluten free waffles cooked just right. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino and it was incredible. I loved that they had a piano and other instruments that customers can play.

Red Light Roastery earns a solid 5-Star rating based on the authenticity of the coffee, service & warm ambience found in this locally owned coffee house. The coffee was very fresh & flavorful, even close to its closing time of 3:30PM. It's off the beaten path somewhat, but I can appreciate a nice warm & inviting place to enjoy a cup of coffee away from the tourist crowds. Come early, sit & stay awhile, inside or outside on the front porch, it's all equally enjoyable at this carefully restored coffee house.

The coffee was superb and the storefront area had fun, National park and Hot Springs gifts. The waffles were so dense and an amazing texture. The only thing that would have made it better was spreadable butter. The refrigerated butter tore the waffles apart a bit. Super delish overall and so filling I didn’t eat again until dinner!

Lovely coffee shop in what looks like an old house. They roast their own beans down the street and are super friendly! Gave me a some great recommendations On interesting hikes in the area and told me about a brand new one that had just opened in May. They’ve also got a really great tea selection if you’re a tea lover. And there’s a shop inside with local goods.

An absolute MUST VISIT coffee shop for locals and tourists alike in Hot Springs! Like going to a small batch Napa winery gem you’ll never forget, Adam is a master roaster bringing the GOOOOOOD Java!

Really cool spot. A lot of fun decorations and things for sale that kept me interested while waiting for my drink. Neat old building, with a great atmosphere. Drink was okay, but I tried something new so thats on me.

Cajun Boilers has always wanted to be a Hot Springs tourist destination. They had billboards advertising their restaurant. I've eaten there several times and the food has always been pretty good. On my last visit I had the catfish topped with crawfish etouffee and it was very tasty. The spicy boiled potatoes were moderately tasty, but I was surprised they weren't served in a spicy butter. The ambience is a little underwhelming and the waitress I got seemed a bit abrupt, but the food was good enough that it still ever up with ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

My food was good, my man said his was killer. It lasted us 2 days. We didn't even eat all the hush puppies n slaw. Wanted to sit by the lake (that's why we chose to go there). We were told it was closed because it was dirty. (I looked, it was not dirty). Idk, maybe they were having issues), they mentioned being understaffed. We wanted crab. But there were out of all crab except for the biggest & smallest. The waitress was surprised at our order. of 3 entrees and an appetizer. We spent quite a lot. I wanted to sit outside b/c it was a beautiful, summer evening, but no, I was freezing under the blowing A/C. (changing my seat would not have helped). We ordered fried alligator for an appetizer, Our entrees were the Alaskan King Crab🦀 with came with hush puppies n peel shrimp and Cole slaw and fries, and Gumbo w/rice which also came with hush puppies n Cole slaw..

What was once the best Cajun and seafood restaurant in Hot Springs is no more. Waited 30 minutes to be seated when less than 25% at capacity. Waitress had to be reminded twice for everything. Beautiful deck that overlooks the lake was not open and the food was sub par with brown oysters, room temperature salad and half inch thick steak. Ordered boiled potatoes and got two golf ball sized with zero seasoning. Was not a single salt and pepper shaker on any table.. It's time for someone who isn't afraid to invest in paying for good wait staff and buying back the good quality food they use to have or sadly enough, cut losses and close what was once a great restaurant.

Really! Really! Really enjoyed eating here the service was great, food is awesome. They have parking and a back deck (with a great view) for eating outside.

Once again my 5 star rating. The best boudin balls ever, crayfish and fried shrimp were awesome. Coleslaw was different but very good. No room for dessert.

We went this past weekend for some seafood. Found out it was a new owner that night. We ordered some apps and our dinners. The onion petals limp and soft. One person after a long wait received her food. Our waitress got buzzed and she said she was bringing the rest of our food. When we finally received the rest of our order we did enjoy our food. I had the special that was snapper and it was yummy. The other food was good as well.

Literally just left this restaurant. Extremely disappointed. We are visiting town (5 adults) and were craving some delicious seafood. We are seafood lovers and know good taste, and sadly, this place does not have any type of flavor. Absolutely no seasonings, no salt, no nothing, including something as simple as shrimp. I didn’t even finish my plate, I couldn’t continue eating something so flavorless. I asked for ketchup and I think they’ve had that bottle for years, the ketchup was stuck in the bottle and no matter how hard you slammed it, the ketchup would not come out. Not to mention, we ordered the crab broil and were given scissors as a crab cracker tool, but wait, the scissors were broken in half! If there was something tasty, I’d say it was the cheese sticks and salad my son had. Oh and the the fried alligator, that was actually good! Regarding staff, most were nice, however our waitress was pretty rude. She was attentive to us, but she seemed pretty annoyed while serving us the entire time since the moment we sat down. Overall, we will never again step foot in this place, specially because the food was bland. Literally five adults left completely disappointed.

We're from Minnesota and we stopped here with the in-laws for a big family dinner. Service was quick and waitress took care of us well. Food was alright, I had the Crawfish sampler and my wife had the crab cakes. Heard the Oysters are the best. Decor could use some updates. Location was really the draw for this place - sits on a nice little bayou and they have outdoor seating. We made some good memories.

It was okay.. I remember coming here about ten years ago and it was extremely good food. The service was excellent. Prices are a tad bit steep but you are in a tourist town. The steak was an 8oz "Cajun" ribeye. I much rather pay the same amount and get a 20oz bone in prime cut ribeye from Texas Roadhouse for about the same price. The Cajun steak was thin and seemed bland to me. I never order steak sauce but I actually dipped my meat into my salads leftover blue cheese dip. The shrimp were definitely better than red lobsters and were quite tasty. I enjoyed the blackened fried potatoes as well.

This was a happy dining experience. The food had great authentic flavor. I ordered the catfish with baked potato and came with hush puppies. The batter was great the fish was clean the hush puppies were the best I've had all year. Had the gumbo as an appetizer and it was delish. Please save room for dessert. We had a slice of peanut butter pie and chocolate peanut butter pie. They were both phenomenal. The only downside was wait time and time spent waiting for food. The food makes up for it.

Did a order for pickup. Steak wasn’t cooked right. Salads were pitiful. Shrimp, boiled and fried, were tough and gritty. The boiled were hard to peel as well. The hush puppies were burnt. The ‘Jack Daniels’ bread pudding had no sauce like I thought it would. Giving 2 stars cause the blackened catfish was good and was ready when said it would be. I had heard it was good, but I will not go back if it’s gonna be this bad.

This place is awesome! Down home eatery with excellent cuisine! Love dining out back on the patio! Excellent service and delicious seafood and sides! Can’t wait to stop again!

Waited about an hour for a table but they were very busy so not a problem. Penny was our server, and she was wonderful. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the entire menu. The entire staff was smiling, and all the tables were well taken care of. The spicy boil seasoning was more on the mild side. The crawfish were good size for this early in the season. They had several crawfish options and were reasonably priced. The oysters were freshly shucked when we ordered. We had the bread pudding for dessert. It was dense and nicely seasoned with a rich sauce. Would definitely visit again!

A great hibachi experience. Chef Patrick was very welcoming and did a good job cooking food for all the customers just the way they liked it at the right temperature. We will be back next time we are in the area!

Definitely worth the hype. I grew up in Hot Springs but have spent the last 17 years in Houston, the sushi capital of the South, and have come to appreciate all kinds of Asian cuisine. The Crazy Samurai was the best surprise I could want from a restaurant in my home town. Unique, interesting, and well executed rolls. Excellent basics, and the best fried rice I think I’ve ever had (and came highly recommended from the locals). The server was a delight, and very knowledgeable about the menu. I’m looking forward to our next trip up here. We will definitely be back, and I will put this on my list of recommendations for any of my friends traveling here!

Sashimi salmon and fried rice was great. My husband liked his hibachi, which was from the kitchen and not the grill. So I don't know how the grill version is. Usually it's different than kitchen at most places. Super nice staff. Super cool atmosphere. Bonus points for serving Pepsi, which is harder to come by where we're from. We will come back.

My husband and had dinner here last night. It was absolutely amazing!!! The food is fresh, and has the most wonderful taste!! Wonderful service as well!! Thank you for the experience! We will definitely be back when we travel threw💯💓

Chef Patrick & his staff made our anniversary dinner very special! Sushi is always fresh and delicious, and best fried rice EVER!! Be sure to try the Rabbit Hole bourbon!

Our evening at Crazy Samari was pure bliss. The hibachi grill was a stage, and the chef, an artist. Every bite of the food was heavenly. Plus, the owner's warm hospitality made us feel like VIPs. Highly recommend!

We are from Fort Worth, TX and we have eaten a lot of hibachi and sushi… but this was amazing and probably the best we’ve ever had! Quality meat and fish prepared well. I’ve never had pineapple in Habachi vegetables and it was delicious. Atmosphere was amazing and all the food was presented beautifully. Loved the Caribbean rice roll. Thank yall so much, we’ll be back when we’re in Hot Springs.

My wife and I were referred by a local and they did not disappoint! Sushi was very good and the stuffed jalapeños were amazing! The atmosphere is a taste of Japan's night life. 100% recommend.

I can't praise Crazy Samari enough! my husband and I came back to Hot Springs from Dallas especially for this place. We went here four years ago and couldn’t wait to come back. The hibachi show was fantastic, and the food was mouthwateringly good. The staff was attentive, and the owner's personal touch added a special touch to the evening. We'll be back for sure!

The food was delicious and the service was great!! They grilled and then fried the stuffed jalapeños which made them extra flavorful! All of the rolls we tried were excellent!

We had it last weekend and it was absolutely amazing!!! We had a party of 8, we did make a reservation but it wasn’t too crowded, we could’ve been fine without one. The sushi there is absolutely incredible and the hibachi fired rice is amazing as well. Not to mention the prices are completely reasonable. Patrick was our sever and it was the BEST hibachi serving show we have ever seen. 10/10 will definitely be back.

Best Hibachi I have ever had! Amazing service and such friendly staff! I ordered a chef special choice sushi and it was beautifully presented and tasted amazing! Will definitely be coming back!

Mediocre food, poor service, and poor atmosphere. Spicy tuna roll was not spicy or flavorful. The fried calamari appeared to be octopus which was a bit fishy and over cooked/fried. Severs seemed not to operate in defined sections. They brought the sushi without bringing individual plates. We ask for plates, but they forgot until I asked again. My tequila and soda was first made with flat soda and vodka, then corrected. The chairs bottom were hard as a rock. The kind that make you want to leave as soon as possible. In addition the table tops are scratched to hell. All the furniture looks very tired. While dining, wait staff was cleaning an adjacent table with a spray foam glass cleaner which has a sting unpleasant odor while dining. I recommend using a proper sanitizer and drying the table with a clean cloth afterward.

Loved this experience, delicious food. And chef Patrick was charismatic, and enjoyable.

Patrick is wonderful! Great food, great service and definitely a must visit if you’re in the area. We went for dinner and then back again for lunch the next day! The crazy roll is phenomenal.

The food is absolutely excellent here. The sushi is some of the best I’ve had period, and the prime rib hibachi is just heavenly. If I had just one suggestion, it would be to tone down the blue lights since they kind of strained my eyes. But the food and restaurant are still fantastic.

Gave it 2 stars years ago, but whatever they did to improve it here is working. A friend said to give it another try, we did and now, a new review. Their philly went from ZERO stars to a solid 4, the beer butter sets it off. I love fish n chips, (the fish n fries were good). The drinks were a bit small, but what do ya expect for that price. The meals we had, although very good, were a bit overpriced for the portions, but that wont change as they are located at Oaklawn where there is horse racing and casino. They'll make the sale whether we like the price or not. We'll be back as I believe there is room for improvement, and I think they have definitely improved.

Great place to sit down and enjoy a meal if you're at Oaklawn. I don't gamble, so if we go to Oaklawn, Silks is my only request. Not sure I've ever had a bad meal there. As busy as the bartenders get, too, they're always on-point.

Always crowded but the Bartenders are great with keeping the line moving while making some good drinks. Didn't eat so can't say anything about the food here.

This place is inside Oakland casino. I was on vacation for my birthday, so I wanted something simple. I ordered their beef nachos with cheese and I must say it was good. I also order the barbecue wings they was crispy, tasty what a treat.

DO NOT Order the chicken wings. Very gross. Huge wings with no flavor and not cooked fresh so they are dried out. The wait staff don’t follow directions. And when I told him that this isn’t how I asked for the wings to come, he left the plate and never came back. The fries were not fresh so I asked for fresh fries and the second batch were hot just didn’t taste right like maybe refried. Not a good experience at all.

Fun place to watch the game, decent $3 drafts during games, and the burgers are pretty good. I recommend the wings with the sauces on the side so they don’t get soggy. I would not recommend the soup because it comes in a baby bowl and the price isn’t justifiable. The slider trio is where it’s at if you want to try their burger, grilled chicken, and pulled pork. Yes, you can try all three! It’s fun and comes with sweet or regular fries. The specials of the month are usually the best way to go and for some reason they always taste better than anything in the menu. If you get nachos, get steak. It’s actually always tender and juicy and it’s hard to share. Three stars due to over priced, small portion basic-American food in a fancy looking setting. I will say the service is usually always great no matter how busy they are.

Had Beef Street Taco’s and a few Cocktails. Beef was a bit grisly/fatty and I’m pretty sure their are knifes in the Kitchen which could be used to trim that, and the fat, if anyone cared. Drinks were served in small Plastic Cups. And FYI, MANAGEMENT, they make plastic Martini Glasses, Rocks glasses, etc. Weird. Especially when Beer is served in glass bottles, and glasses. Service was just OK. Staff was more concerned with huddling together in a far Corner and Socializing then Customer Care. We had to wave 👋 to get another drink round, napkins, the Check, etc. Unacceptable.

The place we planned to eat & watch the Monday Night Football game was closed so we came to Silks. Waitress was friendly and efficient and our food was delivered quickly and tasted delicious. We shared the corn nuggets appetizer. I had the grilled reuben and he had the Southwest flatbread for dinner - we really enjoyed our choices. I'd recommend Silks and we'd eat here again if in the Hot Springs.

We went on a Thursday evening and it wasn't too busy, but the staff were incredibly friendly and the food was amazing! We split a meal because the appetizers were so good that we filled up on them. Would definitely come back here!

Service was great.. food is more bar food… don’t expect to have main course dinner here. Fish and chips was great and street tacos & margaritas good.

I came for the view and that's what I got. I was in town for only a night and wanted to eat somewhere new with a view. My food was plentiful and tasty. Weather was perfect, staff was very friendly and prompt. Thanks!

Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVED the taco salad! I got the grilled chicken and it had flavors I didn’t expect. Cheese dip and refried beans surprised me at the bottom of the bowl. Also, the quality of the cheese dip was a step above the rest! One of my favorite things is that they provided a 1 page menu instead of a three page folding menu. I absolutely can’t stand when there are too many choices. Having this one page helps guests see the establishment’s best foot forward. Also, the manager was there and smiled and clearly cared about what his team was doing. Thank you for the nice experience!

Great local family operated business! Ate here last night! Food was amazing! Drinks were delicious. Service was outstanding! We will definitely be back! Luis was very knowledgeable and made us feel like we were apart of the family!

Beautiful restaurant in Hot Springs with a great patio that overlooks the lake. Guacamole was cool and fresh and I had a Fiesta in my mouth.

Came here for lunch with my sister before her appt for hair. We enjoyed the food and the view!

Outstanding Mexican restaurant with a seafood 🦞 twist. Service was amazing and the place is very clean! My family loved the chill atmosphere and breathtaking view from the deck. Strongly recommend when visiting Hot Springs AK 👍 try the Ceviche appetizer… we couldn’t get enough of it.

If I could leave a negative review on the food and service I would. I’ve had better cheese dip out of a jar, from Walmart. The salsa taste like ketchup. Drinks without straws. Cheese dip without chips. That was all it took for me. Didn’t bother to order dinner. Other people in our party sent food back. As you can see they were not busy.

Foods great. Fresh and quick. Service was excellent and the view beats all.

Had such a good time here we went 2 nights in a row! The guacamole is fantastic & I definitely recommend the salmon tacos! Tres leches cake is amazing too & the watermelon margarita was the best I've ever had! Love it here!

We definitely recommend this place, food was excellent, amazing customer service and the location is wonderful with boat slips to park, is so convenient. The views are extraordinary!! So come visit and enjoy some drinks while watching the sunset.🤗💯

The menu has a few unique items that are very tasty. The margaritas were strong and delicious. There is a beautiful lakefront view. The staff is very friendly.

Fantastic Mexican restaurant! One of the best meals we had while visiting Hot Spings. Excellent service and fantastic food and drinks. We had the Shrimp Ajillo and Al Pastor Quesadilla. Wowowow!!!! Both were soooo tasty and MASSIVE portions! The sauce on the shrimp were amazing and they were perfectly cooked. The al pastor was so flavourful and the quesadilla itself was super crispy! The beans they came with were soooooooo good too! The mezcal margarita was great. If you like Smokey flavours give it a try! The sunset here was absolutely gorgeous so try to sit outside if you can. Not to compare but we went to the firsherman wharf the night before and this place BLEW it away!!!! In every aspect. Better food, better drinks, better service and better sunset views. Luis was our server. He was great! Can’t recommend this place enough!!! Also this spot is owned by a Mexican so you know it’s good! Support your local Latin owned businesses! ❤️❤️❤️

First I have to say, best guacamole in the area hands down! The service is fantastic and all the food was delicious. The drinks were great also. My wife and I really enjoyed eating here. We will definitely be back very soon.

Safe, Clean, Upscale. Def one of the best places to grab a drink in Hot Springs at any given time. Must check it out!

Nice atmosphere. Service was excellent. We even called beforehand and found out they didn't have a high chair and they went out and found one to borrow before our reserved time. We were disappointed to discover they no longer had the baked brie they show on their website in the menu. After finding out it was something we were specifically looking for they produced one for us. The wine and cocktails were very good. So was the food we ordered.

Great wine selection, ladies night gets you half off glasses of wine (and well drinks) on Wednesdays. We only share the pepper jelly dip, which was yummy, so can't speak to other food selections. Both bartenders were pleasant & attentive!

Really good service, friendly staff. The night I went had mysic playing out back nice chill night

Visited Splash for the first time last week at a wine and cheese pairing. Had an excellent time and met, Kathy and her daughters Lexi and Maddie. What a cool place that we’ll be returning to!

I was excited to try Splash, but it was a bit disappointing. The server made some wine recommendations which I appreciated, and the atmosphere was great. Our biggest complaint was the $40 charcuterie board. It was extremely underwhelming for the price, and it appeared as though whoever put it together has never seen a picture of one. They basically dumped everything on the tray. It was not nearly enough food for the price, as it was supposed to be enough for 4 people. The pieces of cheese were TINY, and it was maybe small 9 slices of meat. The frozen berries and grapes were dumped right on top of the meat, and the bits of cheese were mixed with the chocolate covered almonds. The food was good quality, but the board was a mess and lacking quantity to justify $40.

I enjoyed a flight of wines, even though it's not on the menu. Of the 3 wines, I wished to enjoy a follow on glass of the Zin despite it wasn't sold by the glass. However, the staff was very accommodating & the accompanying salmon dip and charcuterie board were a great compliment to the wines.

A couple friends and I decided to go there for a drink. I was harassed by a drunk guy and no one did anything about it. All that someone said is “that’s Clay. He is always drunk.” The harassment continued and so we left. I was unimpressed by the establishment allowing such behavior to take place and doing nothing about it.

Incredible little spot! My boyfriend and I stopped in and we were so surprised! We shared a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine along side a fireplace and live music playing in the background. It made for the perfect date night! Our server was very attentive and sweet! Would highly recommend coming here!

Decent selection of wine with a quiet atmosphere, when we visited in mid afternoon. Food selection was not very wide but we were there for the wine anyway. Service was very good since it's a smaller venue. Would recommend for a group of 6 of less unless you rent the place to yourself. Will definitely go back and try more wines.

Cocktails and atmosphere were great. Small and cozy indoor area was great for a date night. Food was lacking.

New wine bar with lots of potential. We were there over Labor Day weekend and they had live music on the patio outside , which we really enjoyed. Nice selection of wines. We had the charcuterie board, ordered a half, but they said they brought the full ( as we had a hiccup in receiving it). Also the salmon dip ( which we would pass on next time as we didn’t care for it, and it was on the large board and we didn’t know that when we ordered )

We love to play shuffle board here. We've been coming here for it for a couple years. This was the first time we tried the good under the new ownership. The chicken sandwich was pretty good. Wings had good flavor. The onion rings had a good crunch and flavor but could use bigger onions. All in all we love the atmosphere and location.

Stopped in for brunch today. Though we have been here many evenings, this was our first time for brunch. I'm telling you now, run, don't walk, next Sunday for the brunch. We had an orange pineapple mimossa and a Kentucky coffee. We orderd the hangover burger with hand cut fries. The service was amazing...and the food was out of this world. Highly recommend.

Delicious cheeseburger, strong drinks, great service. Nice smoking area. Good fun on Thursdays - it is jam night for some great local musicians.

Surprisingly good, if not great. Perfectly cooked burger melts in your mouth; tender, juicy, and the perfect flavor.

I can't say enough good things about this fantastic eatery. I am a local resident of Hot Springs and I have dined here on several occasions. This place is the best for quality of food and price. It is not an extensive menu but frankly that's what you like when you want to stop in for a good meal. I would give the Trough 10 stars if I could! Jessica is the owner and she is devoted To the fine service for her customers. Jade is her bar keep and both women once again do a fantastic job.

The atmosphere is nice. The drinks were just okay. We had the garlic parm and mushroom burger. It wasn't great we ended up only eating about half. We also had the trough fries. Loaded fries are a go to for us, and these were also just okay. The beer battered tenders were dry and not good. The best part of these fries was the nacho cheese that was on top. Nacho cheese goodness. I will have to say though that our waitress was attentive and very nice. Overall it was just an okay place to try.

Fun spot for a little day drinking. Destiny was super nice and delightful to chat with. Bummed we missed wing wednesday.
