My step mother (from Little Rock) & I (from Shreveport) met here for lunch this past Saturday. The service was great, the food and atmosphere were amazing. This might turn out to be our monthly meeting spot!

If you're looking for a fun atmosphere, top-notch service, and truly outstanding food near the heart of Hope,Arkansas look no further than Tailgaters. We stopped by for lunch on our way to Hot Springs after my husband found them on TikTok, we arrived shortly after they opened and were thrilled to find the wait non-existent—a decision that paid off, as a line quickly started forming just 30 minutes later! This place is clearly a local favorite, and for good reason. The atmosphere is a huge part of the experience. Tailgaters embraces an eclectically themed, old-timey aesthetic with loads of decor that is charming and instantly welcoming. It’s the kind of place that feels like a classic, comfortable hangout. Beyond the fun decor, the restaurant's hospitality stands out: the staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming making it a great spot for the entire family (including your furry friends). The food was genuinely great, leaving us completely satisfied with our choices. My husband raved about his Jalapeno cheese burger, calling it one of the best he’s had—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. I opted for the Reuben sandwich, and it was exceptional: piled high with tender corned beef, balanced sauerkraut, and a wonderful dressing on perfectly grilled bread. Everything tasted fresh and crafted with care.Prices were fair I feel, everything is getting so expensive nowadays and we left not feeling robbed or that we overpaid For visitors, the location is great. It’s easy to find, and we appreciated the hassle-free free street parking right across from the charming train depot. It adds a nice bit of local character to your visit. Overall, Tailgaters offers a perfect blend of great ambiance, excellent service, and delicious, satisfying diner food. We highly recommend getting there right at opening to beat the rush!

We were recommended by Hampton Inn employer, were do the locals eat. That’s the question I always ask? Our Hamburgers were amazing, I also had fried okra, which was so light and scrumptious. The whole place is so iconic and the young ladies, and owners were even there to welcome their local customers and new diners. A must place to stop and eat in Hope, Arkansas

Got the applewood bacon burger was incredible. The combination of flavors knocked it out of the park. I love the way they seasoned their burgers. The fries were wonderfully salted and the best consistency! Will definitely be back.

This place was amazing! I got the Heartattack Dog with a side of Mac and cheese bites and corn bites! Hands down the best corn bites I’ve ever had! I loved the cozy atmosphere, the vibe of the whole restaurant was so fun! Can’t wait to come visit again!
