“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!”
“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”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We came here for our anniversary and we loved it! Sydney seated us and Scott was our waiter. We have never had such great tasting food. We had the porkchop and the ribeye. The sides were the Brussel sprouts, polenta, and mashed potatoes. We can’t wait to go again for our next dinner.”
“Fantastic dining experience! Dom and JoLee always give top notch service and are super helpful. Quality food + amazing service= you just can’t beat it!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Wife and I came for axe throwing and dinner, we had a blast playing axe throwing for our first time, the axe throwing has multiple versions you can choose from, which we enjoyed. Dinner and drinks afterwards were delicious. Wait staff was very attentive and polite.”
“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.”
“Food and drinks are fabulous, ambience is great, service is always friendly!! One of my favorite brunch places.”

“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!”
“One of the best food trucks I have ever been to in my life i have tried this place multiple times I cannot find another place any where that cooks this good the owners are so friendly and so nice I will continue to always go back to this place even if I have to travel to get there I will always go back to this place Because in my book , this place is perfection”
“We came after church not knowing they were closed and had sold out at 1030. We were heading back to Texas and they were so kind and sold us a frozen set-they even packaged it to last until we made it home. They were so delicious. Thank you so much Will's Cinnamon Shop for taking care of new customers!”
“Was there this past Sat morning. Our Service was horrible!! Young Dark headed with hair in a bun. She acted like we were a bother to her. NEVER got refills on coffee, wasn't checked on till we were done. She just stood up at the bar (counter) and talked to this couple the entire time. Huge portions and food was okay. Toast must have been done on the flat top. Was gross and could taste other things. We really wanted to get other food and then dont want bad service again.”
“The service was outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and the steaks were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and exactly as ordered. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a great dining experience!”

“Cool brick building, hidden away of Main Street. I was greeted right away, seated quickly by a window with a view. My server came over quickly. I ordered a water and a Woodford reserve old-fashioned The old-fashioned was not very smooth too much over pour.
I ordered the grilled chicken with grilled shrimp with sweet potato and house salad (honey mustard dressing). Salad wasn’t anything special, but the chicken had good flavor and the grilled shrimp was one of the best I tasted in a while. Sweet potato had a funny taste that might’ve been the cinnamon butter. Also ordered my favorite Key-lime pie to go. Definitely would go back again and try something different.”
“Very friendly bar/pool room. Tables are Valleys nice and level. The felt in the tables is a little dated but is good enough for bar tables. 3Bs is a lot cheaper than the other pool rooms in town with very good service. Just remember to take cash, they do no accept debit/credit cards.”
“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.”
“things are getting alot better. as 1 of the employees here and coming outta bankruptcy. I think we are doing fabulous especially Hayden heaven scarlet and nick. all good managers....”

“Having lived in the Houston area over 25 years I had the opportunity to dine at many Mediterranean restaurants. The G.O.A.T. has the freshest cuisine, best selections, and exemplary plating. If you have never tried Mediterranean give The G.O.A.T. a try. The owners and waitstaff are very knowledgeable and friendly. You’ll become an advocate. I guarantee it. S.J.”
“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.”
“We went here at about 4pm on a hot August Sunday. I liked how dark and cool it was inside, and it was decorated nicely. There was no table service, and we had to go to the bar to order drinks and food, which was kinda meh. But I had an outstanding spicy Bloody Mary, and the deep dish pizza was very good.”
“La Brujas is the absolute best! From the dubai chocolate strawberries to the special snacks they make. You will not find a better place. Food, drinks, treats, snacks from around the world. They have everything and the sweetest family you will ever meet. If you have not been there please check them out. I promise you will not be disappointed.”
“Had my husbands birthday here tonight. Party of 16. The food was great and the staff was amazing! Thank you for making his birthday dinner wonderful.”
“This was by far the top 5 restaurants we have ever eaten in. The service was incredible and the food was so flavorful and fresh. I can not say enough about this restaurant. You MUST try it when in town”
“Great place to drink, dance, and socialize.
Dance floor could be a little bigger and the management should keep drinks off of the dance floor which creates a slip hazard when people invariably spill their drinks on the dance floor. Overall a great place!”
“Fajita’s are excellent, and large potions! Highly recommend! Staff is very friendly and always helpful, one of our favorite places in town.”
“Excellent experience all around. We plan on going back when. we are in town.”

“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!!”
“They had an amazing selection to choose from and different packaging options available if you didn’t want a full dozen! My favorite were the Churro cupcakes!
Vegetarian options: Several vegan/vegetarian options are available! I recommend the vegan Snickerdoodle Cupcake!
Dietary restrictions: They have several gluten free and vegan options!”
“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!”
