Restaurants in Hot Springs

“This is my go to spot after school. We love these cookies, very flavorful and fresh.

Parking: The parking is beside Old Navy

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, and will explain the all different types of cookies they have”

“Stopped by the first time today! So excited I found this delicious gem. So if you haven’t checked them out you need too!”

“The finest cut meat i have ever tasted!!! The owners are very humble and it feels like home when you eat there! Been to several events there as well they NEVER disappoint!”

“This place is so much fun that we went three times. Some of the robots are hilarious.”

“Was in as a vendor setting up service. I go in restaurants all day every day. Meet with owners all over. This is a great group of people with an awesome looking bar!”

“Best burger and fries I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service and staff!! Will be back!! Maybe tonight!!!”

“Went there for a quick lunch and both pricing and the service were great. We ordered and our food was delivered fairly quickly. Everything was freshly made. I personally did not care for the brand of ketchup they use and it sits out on the table-i'm a Heinz ketchup snob.

The burgers were just average. The prices were great considering it's in a tourist area and my favorite part of my meal was getting some bluebell ice cream for two dollars. It was a very, very generous serving of nice and creamy hand dipped ice cream. Very refreshing and at a great price. Bubbalus had outstanding service and average food in my opinion.

They also charge a dollar just to get a cup of water which I think is too much if you are ordering meals, but they're overall cost model is extremely competitive for a tourist area so perhaps I don't need to complain about my one dollar cup of water.

They also have a lot of fun, baseball pictures and memorabilia hanging up. Nice atmosphere. it was great for a quick and fairly priced lunch, but not a place I'd go if I was looking for gourmet food.”

“Everything good here. Best shrimp and grits in town”

“Very accommodating and delicious food.”

“We are from Louisiana and came to Arkansas, just for the heck of it. Sat down at a local lookout and found this place on google. It’s delicious and we will definitely be going back! We did take out but want to dine in next time. 10/10 recommend!!! I had the small, Chicago style pizza.”

“My husband and I are in town for a few days and we're thrilled to see there was a Caribbean place in town. We stopped in for lunch and plan to come back this weekend before we head back home. I had the crack chicken, and my husband had the jerk shrimp, both of which were delicious. The menu was trimmed down that day, but the full menu gets served on the weekends, so we will definitely be back for some oxtail, brown stew chicken, etc. The family who runs this restaurant is so sweet and inviting. This will definitely be a regular stop for us now any time we travel through Hot Springs.”

“Visited Hot Springs a few weeks ago and wanted to find a sushi spot. We came across this place and really enjoyed it. Great food, good prices, and an eager to come back soon!”

“First we arrived at Fisherman’s Wharf, got in quite fast. Very friendly staff we sat and ate dinner with lalo around 6:30. Didn’t get serviced until 6:45, when he came to the table is was very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Overall he did a great job and we got our food quickly, but every time he would approach the table he would have an attitude. The catfish was great, and my husband enjoyed the grouper oscar. 4.3/5* overall”

“The English Muffin is a wonderful place to eat with family and friends. They have well cooked food and their service is tremendous. Please visit the English Mufffin if you get a chance.”

“Purdy handles the downstairs bar like a champ and is a gem of a human. Pizza was very good. Cool spot tucked in the mountainside.”

“Loved 501 Prime! The hostess got us in and seated quickly, she was very friendly, upbeat and had a great personality! Emerald was our server and she was exceptional! Emerald was very knowledgeable about everything 501 Prime, very attentive, friendly and engaged! Actually, not a single employee walked by our table that didn’t stop and engaged in a conversation. Everything we ordered was perfection. Just excellent service and food all the way around. Great experience, we’ll be back!”

“Been coming to Hot Springs for 30+ years and we just discovered this place! Wish we had known about it sooner! It’s fabulous!!!!! Highly recommend!!! Please advertise more so more people know about you. Your restaurant is better than any other Mexican restaurant we have been to in Hot Springs!”

“Decent food for a chain, a really nice server waited on us, Olive Garden is very dependable, but the salad needs more than 3 olives in it. It’s called Olive Garden…”

“We celebrated my daughters graduation Friday evening May 16,2025 . My family of 15 people got served by an amazing hostess and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The food was outstanding, My family and I enjoyed ourselves,and do plan on coming back real soon. Thank you for an amazing evening.”

“Friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable and the food is great! Had my order ready in five minutes.”

“The food is delicious, every time we’re in Hot Springs we have to stop for a great meal!”

“went there for lunch with my family on Sunday and just checked my credit card statement and they charged me almost double for what my bill actually was. update: got $90 back. spoke to someone I was told was the manager and after he did some research he found my ticket from the day and figured out that he had "accidentally" typed $95 for the tip instead of $5. which was odd because when we did the receipt we broke total at the bottom. so you would think that if the total at the bottom of my receipt didn't match the total on the screen after he finished that he would question it but apparently not so he tipped himself almost what my bill was. I have a feeling I wasn't the first person and I have a feeling I won't be the last person and all I can say is if you use a card there. keep an eye on your your bill and if you have previously used a card there I'd take a look at my statement now”

“Wife and I came for axe throwing and dinner, we had a blast playing axe throwing for our first time, the axe throwing has multiple versions you can choose from, which we enjoyed. Dinner and drinks afterwards were delicious. Wait staff was very attentive and polite.”

“Nikki was a great waitress. The food was amazing!”

“this is a very good place to eat the tension expanded a very nice and very clean bar to enjoy with the family a very large parking lot I really recommend it”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great brunch at Café Kahlo! I had the chorizo egg benedict and he went for the tres de leche pancakes—both were absolutely delicious. The mimosas bucket is as aesthetic as it is tasty, and the Bloody Maria is straight fire! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a brunch spot that checks all the boxes.”

“Oldest bar in Arkansas. Ryan (waitress) was really great about sharing the history of the place. Live music. Enjoyed the food. Alcohol drinks are very expensive. Bar is interesting feature with own history, bullet holes in walls, cool memorbelia throughout.”

“Great little coffee house. Coffee is perfect, service was amazing! the batista was the cutest, and so helpful. So happy we found this place!”

“I can't believe there are only 14 reviews. Bubba's is the bomb for catfish. I live in MO but when in Hot Springs for a week, we are eating there AT LEAST twice. Its been a few years but next month we are there. Can't wait. And def get the tarter sauce. Its the best!”

“The staff are nice people who can recommend a drink every time. I wish I could get another punch card when I go cause it would give me more incentive to go to this coffee shop. I love the small shack right outside Malvern.”

“Was there this past Sat morning. Our Service was horrible!! Young Dark headed with hair in a bun. She acted like we were a bother to her. NEVER got refills on coffee, wasn't checked on till we were done. She just stood up at the bar (counter) and talked to this couple the entire time. Huge portions and food was okay. Toast must have been done on the flat top. Was gross and could taste other things. We really wanted to get other food and then dont want bad service again.”

“One of the best food trucks I have ever been to in my life i have tried this place multiple times I cannot find another place any where that cooks this good the owners are so friendly and so nice I will continue to always go back to this place even if I have to travel to get there I will always go back to this place Because in my book , this place is perfection”

“best place ever! amazing service love the girls working in there”

“We came here for our anniversary and we loved it! Sydney seated us and Scott was our waiter. We have never had such great tasting food. We had the porkchop and the ribeye. The sides were the Brussel sprouts, polenta, and mashed potatoes. We can’t wait to go again for our next dinner.”

“Wow!! Best ramen I’ve had. I had the Tantanmen medium spice level. The pork was flavorful, the broth was out of this world, and the egg was incredible due to a sweetness mixed into the yoke. The accompanying of sweet and spicy chili paste on the side of the bowl allowed you to pair as many bites with as much paste as you like. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the fusion of spices and flavors were wonderful. This was a much desired void that I can now fill!”

“Destiny baked my birthday cake for my 89th birthday. It was delicious!”

“The best sushi in Hot Springs!”

We were heading back to Texas and they were so kind and sold us a frozen set-they even packaged it to last until we made it home. They were so delicious. Thank you so much Will's Cinnamon Shop for taking care of new customers!”

“It’s worth the price. It’s clear that the food is elevated. The coffee is superb. And the service is just so good. The atmosphere feels nice. And don’t get me started on the pastries…they’re decadent and too tempting to pass up.”

“I Love This Bar great customer service great food great entertainment and great people”

I have no complaints about my meal and will be returning often! Thank you so much!!!”

The food was exceptional, as always. Our group of 6 had a mixture of shrimp, chicken, and fish. Thank you so much for the great food and hospitality!”

“We went here at about 4pm on a hot August Sunday. I liked how dark and cool it was inside, and it was decorated nicely. There was no table service, and we had to go to the bar to order drinks and food, which was kinda meh. But I had an outstanding spicy Bloody Mary, and the deep dish pizza was very good.”

“Very friendly bar/pool room. Tables are Valleys nice and level. The felt in the tables is a little dated but is good enough for bar tables. 3Bs is a lot cheaper than the other pool rooms in town with very good service. Just remember to take cash, they do no accept debit/credit cards.”

We'll be going back.”

“Chicken tenders are soooo good and fresh. Love this place but they need to work on the outside. If you didn't know better you would think they were out of business. Weeds all around. When I recommend this place they always say "didn't that place close". Fix up the outside and make it appealable.”

“The lemon lentil soup was delicious but not very hot. The Bruchetta with mediterranean fig jam and feta cheese was great. One of the best fig jams I have had (not overly sweet).”

“This is not just soul food. This is good old fashioned comfort food and prepared and served with a smile in a small town setting. Servings are plentiful and so very tasty. I live 2 to 3 minutes from its front door and will frequent it often Food, Service and Pricing are all 5 Star in this mans opinion. Try it folks you will not be unhappy that you did so.”

“Purdy handles the downstairs bar like a champ and is a gem of a human. Pizza was very good. Cool spot tucked in the mountainside.”

“Cool brick building, hidden away of Main Street. I was greeted right away, seated quickly by a window with a view. My server came over quickly. I ordered a water and a Woodford reserve old-fashioned The old-fashioned was not very smooth too much over pour.
I ordered the grilled chicken with grilled shrimp with sweet potato and house salad (honey mustard dressing). Salad wasn’t anything special, but the chicken had good flavor and the grilled shrimp was one of the best I tasted in a while. Sweet potato had a funny taste that might’ve been the cinnamon butter. Also ordered my favorite Key-lime pie to go. Definitely would go back again and try something different.”

“Huge servings, delicious and really friendly!”

“We are from Louisiana and came to Arkansas, just for the heck of it. Sat down at a local lookout and found this place on google. It’s delicious and we will definitely be going back! We did take out but want to dine in next time. 10/10 recommend!!! I had the small, Chicago style pizza.”

“We went on a Saturday afternoon,the staff was very friendly told us about the “campfire meals upon walking to host stand. Our server “Olivia” was soo welcoming to my family of 3. She complimented my shirt I was wearing. I said thanks and I told her I had a medical emergency and was trying to get used to my hair not being pulled up as I couldn’t use my left arm. So I was a bit distracted trying to be okay with the new changes to myself. She offered to put my hair up if I had a rubber band to get it out of my face. I almost cried! She also told me she would keep me in her prayers. She really made me feel like family versus just a customer coming in. She is a beautiful gem in this world and we need lots more people out there like her. Let’s not forget the food it was soo yummy! I had the shrimp/sausage campfire meal it was seasoned perfectly except the potatoes tasted off but that could’ve been my taste buds. Our daughter had a strawberry pancake and sausage and bacon. Good size portion she had to bring some home. My husband had chicken fried chicken with 3 sides. I tasted a bite of his chicken it was soo good with that cream gravy. I didn’t get pictures but again it was such a wonderful overall experience! We will be returning soon!!”

“Fantastic food! Will definitely come back”
