“We were in town for the weekend and had the opportunity to have dinner for the first time last night. We arrived at 4:45pm to a very full parking lot on a Saturday. Our instant thoughts were, it must be good; we were not disappointed. We were seated almost instantly. After given the a choice between the dining room or the bar area, we chose the dining room, which was spacious and open. The tables were amplly spaced to give patrons and wait staff room to maneuver. Enough about the decor, let's get to the food and service. Penny, our estute server, was prompt in collecting our beverage and appetizer choices. The fresh out of the oven house bread came out quickly to our delight. For our main courses we chose the bacon-wrapped filet and the hickory-smoked ribeye, which were both grilled to perfection and excellently seasoned. Our side dishes of asparagus, baked potatoe and grilled shrimp were also excellent. All of this food saddly left us with no room for the cheesecake dessert. Which we'll have to try the next time we are in the area. We we're also happy to have been approached by the owner to check on our experience, to which we lauded Penny's great service and the excellent food.”
“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”
“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!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Newly renovated , beautiful . The service was beyond reproach . Friendly , professional , engaging . We had the watermelon salad, Lasagne and the rice balls . Delicious nothing was left behind. Looking forward to our next meal there.”
“Food and drinks are fabulous, ambience is great, service is always friendly!! One of my favorite brunch places.”
“Wow! Freshness, authenticity, and quality. We ordered the Salmon Lovers platter and the Nigiri B* platter. Obviously the fish is the star of the show, but when a sushi restaurant puts extra effort into the sushi rice, you know they pay attention to detail. This was very high quality sushi. 10/10 it was made with love. Will be back.”

“We absolutely love David’s in Hot Springs! My office ordered a huge to go order today and the staff went above and beyond to help my office ladies get our delicious lunch back to the office-labeled well and nothing spilled!! Thank you David’s for our awesome lunch experience!! 🫶🏼”
“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.”
“One of THE BEST Greek Restaurants in Arkansas.
When you come to Hot Springs make this destination your planned stop. And hopefully on the day you visit the owner will have made his OWN Delicacy "BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE." Be sure and ask your lovely server if he has some made. IT Is an Undescribable Journey for your tastebuds I can assure you.”

“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.”
“Nice restaurant at the horse racing track. We were here with a party of 5 on a Monday night. TVs everywhere and Monday night football was on so we he place was packed. They were very short handed in staff but our server did a great job.
We had the meatloaf, gorditas and salad and all were very good. Great portions and $4 draft beer.
Worth a stop if you are near by.”
“A really neat place that gives you the feel of a 1930's speakeasy. We are from Ohio and once I saw the sign outside, I had to stop. We did not order food but just stopped for drinks. I was impressed by the number of local craft beers on tap, around a dozen. They have quite a few specialty cocktails as well. The atmosphere is great. Our bartender was friendly as well.”

“If you like mushrooms and avocados the veggie egg white omelette is very good. It comes with a side of fruit which waa very good as well.
We had one hiccup with an item that came with a meal and without even asking it was removed from our bill. Great management.
In addition, we had a lovely server and I wish I could remember their name.
Vegetarian options: Omelets can be made with onions, peppers, spinach, tomatoes, avocado...”
“The food was really good, but it was lunchtime with very few customers. The server was certainly nice, but it took 30 plus minutes to get two margaritas, and another 30-45 minutes to get two Caesar salads. What should have been about an hour long stop actually ended up taking almost two hours. Still, great food if you don't mind the wait.”
“I Love This Bar great customer service great food great entertainment and great people”
“My first time trying the Dubai Chocolate Strawberries cup. It was delicious!! I would highly recommend giving La Brujas Dulceria a try. I also tried their classic elote with Salsa Valentina and Tajin which was also delicious. Cute store and the ladies working there were very nice. I will definitely will be going back.”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!”

“Brunch stop this morning in Hot Springs at our 1st ever breakfast food truck Will's Cinnamon Shop ! To say it was delicious would be an understatement 😋 Everything was made fresh and we enjoyed great company & conversation from the owners (peek those awesome 2 in the back 🤪) while waiting on our food! 10/10 the Lowrings would recommend! ☕️🍳🥪”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Katie and Twin are excellent. I've never before gotten piping hot fried hot catfish. It was the best cat fish I ever had! The steak was cooked perfectly And the baked potato was excellent. The margarita was on Point! Sure there was a wait on Saturday night. It was well worth it and highly recommend! The staff works hard!”
“We’ve been to about 100 pizza joints and this one is in the top 2! Excellent service. Friendly staff. Dogs allowed inside and patio. The pizza is outstanding. Perfectly proportioned between crust and toppings. I could taste every single item on my pizza! I got the Meat Head. Hubby got a Hot Honey Pepperoni 🍕 and 💥 bam it hits the mark! Absolutely amazing food. Delicious cocktails and it’s a place you wanna hang out in. Thanks y’all 🤩 Tony, Karen, Finn and Rail 🐾🐾”
“I’m so glad we brought our dog on this trip because we came across so many amazing restaurants just by googling “dog friendly restaurants”. This was hands down the best place we ate at as far as food quality and service goes. Everything we tried was AMAZING! You can tell the eggs are sourced from grass fed operations by the rich orange color of the yolks. Two things you HAVE to try if you come here are the Crème Brûlée French Toast and the smoked duck bacon, but everything we tried was seriously so good. My fiancé and I split the shrimp and grits and the best breakfast platter with spicy bloody Marys and the mimosa flight to drink. The blood orange and the prickly pear were our favorite mimosas. This is a must visit when you’re in Hot Springs. We will DEFINITELY be coming back. Shout out to our server Addy for the amazing service and being so accommodating with our dog. We also thought it was really cool of the owner/manager to let the hostess bring her baby to work. I cannot recommend this place enough. Also, really affordable considering the quality of food you get.”
“I had been CRAVING strawberry shortcake. For a while I couldn’t find anywhere to get one in town. I finally saw one on Sugar and Spice’s website and had to get it. Let me tell you- it was AMAZING! Absolutely will be going back and getting another one! (or 10!!!) They have always had great customer service and are so so friendly! I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a cool treat! 10/10!!”
“An all-around great dining experience. My Smoked Old-Fashioned was perfect. My husband and I both had steak and both cuts were cooked perfectly. We had brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, and mushrooms as sides, and all were amazing (our favorite was the brussels sprouts!). Great service as well.”
“Fajita’s are excellent, and large potions! Highly recommend! Staff is very friendly and always helpful, one of our favorite places in town.”
Cheap Eats
“My new favorite Restaurant in Hot Springs! The meatballs are fantastic! Gyro I didn't get to eat because I was so full from the appetizers! But trust me, im going to eat it tonight after all the food settles. Can't stop thinking about the meatballs! They had Hoegaarden on draft which was fantastic. The staff was 10/10. Our waitress was amazing! The owner was super friendly! Honestly it's very rare to go out and have good food and service at the same time.”
“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.”
“If you're craving a juicy, flavorful burger, you HAVE to check out Frosty Treat! I stopped in for a quick bite and was blown away by their burger—it was absolutely perfect. The patty was cooked to perfection, with that delicious char-grilled flavor you can’t beat. The toppings were fresh, they omitted the bun as requested. The service was quick and friendly, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality you’re getting. It’s a great spot whether you’re dining outside or grabbing food to go. Hands down, the best burger I’ve had in ages. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more from their menu!”
“absolutely our favorite place to eat in HS! food is always incredible that we come to HS just to eat here from an hour and a half away! Kirk was beyond awesome in all ways and even got our son his first fried pickle which blew his mind lol. for us, everything about it is awesome. 10 out of 10 from us and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“I ate lunch here today and I have nothing but good things to say! The service was quick and all of the employees were on top of everything. It was super busy and our food came out quick and was absolutely delicious! The portions are a great size and I had enough left over for supper tonight. I can honestly give it a 10/10!”
“This place is awesome. They have the best meats that I can find. Guys are very helpful and knowledgeable. This is another gem that we have in Hot Springs.”

Latest Reviews
“We had a combo plate of fried catfish and fried shrimp, coleslaw baked potato and hush puppies, with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. All was very good . The hushpuppies need improving. Our waitress, Adrianne, was very nice and checked frequently to see if we needed anything. Everyone was friendly and the new Cajun Boilers has been renovated into a very very nice restaurant. We'll be going back.”
“The service here is always top notch. The bartender Jaylene remembered us from a previous visit and we were greeted with a smile. She was very attentive and entertaining which made for a great evening. The food here is also exceptional, compliments to the chef!”
“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.”

“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!!”
“Food and Service were great! My Wife & I were in town for the weekend and stopped here for lunch on our way back West to Texas. I forgot to take pics of the restraunt itself, but the restraunt was really cool too! The food was great and our Waitress/Host was very polite. Will definitely have to comeby again next time we're in town.”
