Restaurants near Fountain Lake

“You can’t not go to Sonic, but you can critique an item or an experience if needed. I was looking forward to trying the bacon jam burger. The patty was so over cooked I could barely gnaw through it bite by bite. And don’t expect that beautiful thick layer of bacon jam you see on the commercial. What a disappointment.”

“I tried this joint when I was in town visiting a dear friend! They blew me away with their Cuban espresso shot named Cafe BomBon! You won’t regret ordering their croissants with egg sunny side up :)”

“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.”

“Delicious! We were staying at the Arlington Hotel and noticed they sign in the lobby for Mamoo’s. We all got the regular size. The White Gold is the perfect ice cream. Will definitely recommend Mamoo’s Creamery, especially during this summer heat.”

“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!”

“Delicious food. Great service. Friendly staff. Awesome band.”

“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.”

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

“Highly recommend taking the Origami Sake tour. The knowledge and passion in what they do is incredible. Forget your past restaurant experiences of tasting mass made bitter sake. There is much more to making quality craft sake than you would think. Great addition to Hot Spring! They are the real deal!”

“Huge servings, delicious and really friendly!”

“The Country Club Panini with smoked turkey, black forest ham, bacon, sharp cheddar, Swiss, and their own honey mustard was wonderful as well as the pasta salad. Atmosphere was relaxed, even though every table was full. Kind and attentive staff.”

“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!”

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!”

“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.”

“Fabulous food and service!”
