28 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hot Springs National Park

“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!“

“My dtr had her fav Mac and cheese which is totally kid friendly and adult friendly too bc it is soooo creamy. I had the turkey burger and sweet potatoes fries, which was delicious!Vegetarian options: Turkey burger, sweet potatoes fries, saladKid-friendliness: Cute decor, kid menu, outdoor dining, diner style seating or tables or booths, purple ice cream ?“

“Do yourself a favor, EAT HERE. Literally nothing you can go wrong with. Pizza, amazing. Burgers, amazing. Wings, amazing. Employees, amazing. Owners Amazing. Nicest folk ever, serving great food! You can’t find a better value for your money; Worth it at double the price.Order on-line, this place gets busy during lake season.Love it!!!“

“The hamburger with added vegetables was excellent.The sampler beer was also very delicious.3: This beer has a unique flavor and is not like commercially available beer.6: Big wave-like beer: Rich grapefruit and orange flavor.7: Light beer like ultra.14: Heavier than ultra but feels lightbeer.Everything was perfect.It's a bit disappointing that the children's chicken menu was designed so shockingly. How about serving something a little bland for children's health?“

“This was our first trip to Hot Springs and we were unaware a lot of places closed early or closed on a Monday. Rolando’s was open and we opted to give it a try and are sure glad we did. First the service was great. Our server was very friendly and nice. We had Lula’s enchiladas and El Plato Cubano. We loved the presentation of the plates - very colorful. The flavors were surprising and delicious. There were pickled cucumbers that are the best I have ever had. The sauce drizzle on the plate edge was very flavorful and the overall dishes were very tasty.“

“Stopped by the Crystal Ridge Distillery today while visiting Hot Springs. The staff was extremely friendly and we enjoyed a tasting prior to touring the distillery. Liked it so much we bought several bottles of various flavors to take back home. You won’t regret stopping by and seeing these folks!“

“Seated right away, not too crowded but definitely lively and can tell it’s a popular place, for good reasons too. Well thought out menu and well executed food. Service was spot on. No reason to have breakfast anywhere else in hot springs. Thanks for a great experience!“

“The couple running this place is super friendly and offered our kids fries while we waited. There’s limited seating, but 10/10 will come back next time we’re in Hot Springs!Kid-friendliness: Great food options for kids, including PB&J“

“Amazing experience watching the solar eclipse here. I wish we could stay longer. Not convenient for RV’s or towing unless you get lucky with a spot.Picnic area: Because of the large crowds we did a picnic on the lawn. There are areas up the mountain where you can sit and have a nice pre-packed meal.“

“Melinda’s is one of our favorite restaurants anywhere - we live in Houston but spend a lot of time in Hot Springs too. We love the breakfast tacos (Daniels or regular - both are great) and coffee (oat milk mochas), and the pastries are awesome when you want a treat. Everyone is great who works here too. Highly recommended!“

“First, the start of the show. The blueberry scones were devine. 5/5, I could’ve had just an entire meal of those. Next the French toast breakfast. You get so much food!! The French toast itself was yummy, however when I had asked for strawberries added, I didn’t realize I’d get a bunch of juice with them lol. They seemed like they were just thawed frozen berries rather than freshly cut. 3/5 for toast. Sides were good, nothing crazy. 4/5. Overall lovely place for some brunch!“

“We came here all three days of our stay. Initially, because there weren't any other coffee options in the area, but came back because we enjoyed it. Not a quick grab-and-go spot. The staff is friendly, but very laid back and chill. Coffee options are plentiful and reasonably priced. Breakfast options can get pricey quick with add ons as everything is ala carte. Parking on the street only. Wish they stayed open a little later.“

“If you're looking for a place to unwind after a day on the lake in Hot Springs, Arkansas, Fisherman’s Wharf is a destination you don't want to miss. Nestled on the banks of Lake Hamilton, this charming restaurant offers not only a picturesque setting but also a delightful culinary experience.I visited Fisherman’s Wharf after a fun-filled day on the lake, and the patio was the perfect place to end the evening. The view is stunning, with the sunset casting a warm glow over the water. The outdoor seating area is spacious, allowing for plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The gentle breeze and the sound of water lapping against the shore create a soothing ambiance that instantly puts you at ease.The menu has a wide range of options, but I opted for a classic choice: the Rib-Eye steak. It was cooked to perfection, with a juicy and tender texture that melted in my mouth. The flavor was rich and savory, with just the right amount of seasoning. It was clear that the kitchen takes pride in selecting high-quality cuts of meat and preparing them with care.To accompany the steak, I had a fresh salad with a variety of crisp vegetables and a zesty dressing that added a refreshing touch. The side of potatoes was golden and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, providing a satisfying contrast to the steak. The green beans were another highlight, sautéed to perfection with a hint of garlic and a satisfying crunch.As for the drinks, Fisherman’s Wharf does not disappoint. The cocktail menu features a range of creative options, and the bartender clearly knows their craft. I opted for a classic margarita, which was well-balanced with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. It's a great choice for sipping while watching the sun set over the lake.Overall, Fisherman’s Wharf is a gem in Hot Springs, offering a combination of great food, excellent drinks, and a stunning lakeside setting. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this restaurant provides a memorable dining experience that captures the essence of relaxation and enjoyment. It's the perfect spot to end a day on the lake, and I'll definitely be returning for another round of great food and scenic views.“

“Amazing pizza, fun music, good location, only complaint is that it's very humid and hot during the warmer parts of the year! If you're sensitive to heat! Make sure you go when it's cooler! Better than Delucas by far and the staff is incredibly sweet!Parking: Have to park in local garages or pay for a toll“

“The ambience is fantastic- you walk past the kitchen as you approach the entrance, showing the cook hand tossing that dough. When you walk in, chill funky jazz is playing; it's a classic early 20th century mercantile building that is now hosting pizza and beer- and happy to be doing it. The IPA totally kicks, the cider gets drier each day as it ages, and the salad doesn't disappoint. I love a good house made ranch and Caesar, and they definitely know what they're doing here. The coup de grace, the pizza, was an amazing garlic mushroom fantastic-ness. You're definitely not gonna go wrong here!“

“Excellent Food, Excellent Service and Friendly Staff ( Echo, the amazing husky included ! ) We had the crawfish, sausage, potatoes, and corn on the cob. Everything was so delicious! Now we know why people line up and wait for hours just to get a taste of Rendi's Mud Bugs ! We will definitely be back next time we are in town !“

“Chicago still pizza...Deep dish pizza was better and bigger than expected.. ..and so good. Ordered a dish and a pizza for 2 people to share....it was too much. Friends staff. Good location. I would highly recommend it. Not for children- Bar/pub type setting.“

“Chris did an amazing tasting for us. Best tasting and tour ever! Highly recommend trying the salted caramel and butterscotch moonshines and the vodka sodas! The place was so cute and rustic and everyone was so kind and enthusiastic to help us. I would definitely recommend this if you are visiting Hot Springs.“

“Favorite place to go for pizza and bosco cheese sticks and the homemade ranch.Vegetarian options: Fresh veggies and loaded saladsDietary restrictions: Has a great gluten free crustParking: Lots ofRoomKid-friendliness: Kids get free ice cream and a fun coloring sheetWheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp“

“Food truck in this cute little food truck park (which sells beer) and our food was amazing. It came out hot and fresh, and the staff went above and beyond to give us an excellent experience.I am pretty sure my shrimp hibachi was 8-10 points of food. And very delicious.“

“Good place for typical Tex-Mex and some lighter fare. This was our first visit after trying out the other 'El' restaurants in the immediate area during our last few visits to HSV.DH and one teen had enchiladas which they liked. Other teen had nachos. Lots of topping on these but they stayed warm and cheese was very good. I had street tacos. Those were great and green salsa was very mild, which I much prefer.Service was swift and friendly. I had a hard time choosing what to order, so we'll be back to try more dishes. This may be our go-to for Tex-Mex in HSV.“

“We love all of it! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations as per request and we enjoyed the food choices. Our favorite beer was the Hofbrau lager that taste just our Peruvian beer! We shared the Black Forest cake and it was moist and light , delicious!!!“

“I love the food here and the people. The servers are always great and on top of it. I've never had a bad experience here. I typically visit for lunch at least twice a month. I highly recommend trying the grilled chicken avocado club sandwich and the Chicken and shrimp.“

“Though not fancy, the menue is adequate and very comfortably priced. Staff is helpful and friendly. The entertainment was awesome. I can see why Big Chill is rated as an Arkansas top 10 venue.Wheelchair accessibility: They actually have this feature!“

“Incredibly friendly staff, just a bit too busy to have as little staff as they do, however, this was during the busiest week this little town's probably seen in years.The food was delicious! Many kinds of sandwiches and multiple choices of oyster-based entrées. Food was out quick, was nice and hot, but ready to eat.They have a jukebox in there as well, so you can get a little taste of everyone's favorites.If you're anywhere close to this place, stop by and grab some grub and brew before you continue on.“

“Our waiter was awesome but our pizza came out burnt the first time and not much better when it came out the second time but we were starving by then so we ate it anyway. Parking is a real problem during busy time and the annex lot is a dangerous walk.“

“Food was great. They have a 3rd level, where you can smoke cigars to watch the sunset over the lake. Their onion rings were freaking awesome! Meals were big enough to share with someone.Kid-friendliness: Fun place.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in on the Main level.“

“Came by for a quick dinner after a lot of places had a huge wait. Got sat quickly and our server, Pedro, was amazing. He was very quick and patient. Explained all the menu items that we had questions about and was quick to get us our food. Everything came out perfect and fresh. He was very prompt in checking in on us and made sure the manager came by to check on us whose name was also Pedro. This is our second time here and it was just as good as last time. Thank you!!“
