“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.”

“Holy Moly!!!!! This place is fantastic! We accidentally ended up here and we have no regrets!!! Perfection on our plates!!!! Sooooo yummy!!! Very friendly and inviting. We will definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Delish & fresh, coffee is next level and the owner is a gem!”

“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!”

“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.”

“The vault is absolutely my favorite eating place in Hot Springs. My son comes in from Houston and we always go there!! tonight it was awesome and our server Mitch was outstanding!! Hot Springs is so fortunate to have such a fine restaurant here!!”

“Gozen has a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious which comes at no surprise with staff that go above and beyond for their customers. I ordered the rice egg bowl with grilled shrimp. It came out quickly and was honestly the best thing I’d eaten all month. I’m looking forward to my next visit!”

“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 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.”

“Wonderful food. The best Reuben sandwich I have ever eaten. Delicious pasta salad.”

“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.”

“Love the vibe! Such cool decor.. and live music 🎶 was awesome.”

“First, my lemon drop was great.
We ordered the charcuterie for 2. We were very disappointed. The meat was 2 slices of deli turkey, 2 slices of deli ham, both turkey and ham were cut into 4 pieces rolled to make it look like it was more meat than it was. Some wieners that you would use in pigs in a blanket. Grapes, strawberry slices and pineapple slices. A few crackers and at least one cracker was stale. Small sweet pickles and sliced cucumbers. Dijon mustard, honey mustard and ranch dressing. No cheese. When I asked for the cheese, our server brought us cubed cheese that you buy in a bag. Nothing was special about this board. I’ve never had a charcuterie board like this before and I hope I never do again.”

“Owners Gavin and Kristy are the best! Food is always very good and service is personal and efficient. Gavin’s been one of our favs for over 10 years. Glad they finally have a place of their own.”

“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!”

“Awesome small business supporting other small businesses! Bonus - excellent coffee!”

“Best gingerbread and Christmas cookies I’ve ever tasted! Moist and perfectly sweet. My “go to” bakery from now on!”

“Best food in the village if you enjoy homestyle cooking, which I do. And by far, the most reasonable prices.”

“The food is outstanding!! The bread and butter is home-made like no other!!!!”

“Best Italian food in Hot Springs if you get the change to stop by … ask the chef to surprise you! He’ll ask some basic questions… allergies and such. He will make you something. Delicious. \n\nWe had ravioli and fettuccine. Savory and satisfying. \n\nIll be back!”

“Amazing food at an affordable price, amazing atmosphere, amazing staff! All around an amazing place and they have truly created something special!”

“Delicious home style cooking with the largest portions I’ve ever seen. I’ve been there a few times & always great food & great service but our server today was exceptional. I wish I could remember her name because she definitely deserves a shout out. As always we left with tons of leftovers. Yum!”

“Mamma Vee’s country style kitchen is A+ eating! I had the meatloaf which was bursting with flavors topped with a bbq/ketchup sauce. Fabulous!!

“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!”

“Great Food, Friendly Faces, and Top Notch guest service! Not to mention a Bill Clinton landmark!”

“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!”
