Issues are always understaffed with ridiculously long waits.

The food is not very good and expensive I try to eat before I go or snack downtown after.

Really sucks as the outdoor seating is easily 5star and dog friendly.“

“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“

“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.“

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!“

“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.“

“Excellent food. The Wednesday night music was a bonus.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best sushi in Hot Springs!“

“Went there with my Dad for the first time years ago.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Ranchero was amazing!!!! Best in town! Dont get me started on the margarita (top shelf) EVEN BETTER! The service was astonishing! If I could give 10 stars; I WOULD!“

“Our second time eating here (passing through from Hot Springs). Wait staff seemed a bit disorganized. Food was pretty good, not eye-popping great. Had some different spices in our orders that we were not familiar with, but that’s on us. Very good southern sweet tea.
We would eat here again.“

“Got TOGO tonight for the family, including a Godfather, two sub sandwiches, some cheese bread and a salad. Service from the phone call to pickup was on point. Food was especially yummy tonight. Enough for me to feel compelled to write this review. 😂 Definitely one of our favorite places.“

“We came in for an early dinner today and were pleasantly surprised! Everything was absolutely awesome! The brisket melted in my mouth it was so good! We shared some desert after we finished dinner (it was a tough decision as we were so full…) and the Bananas Foster cake was brilliant! Thank you, for the wonderful food and spectacular service!“

“The food was great and large portions!“

“This was the best meal we had in Hot Springs by a mile! We went over here at around noon on a Sunday, and there was a bit of a wait, which I expected, but nothing too crazy. Plus they gave us a pager and they had chairs and benches outside (in the shade) to sit while we waited. After about 20 mins, we were seated, and the dining room was decorated very nicely and cute. Very homey and cozy. The service was outstanding, our cups never went empty, and they made us feel welcome and cared for. But the food was crazy good. I had corned beef hash that was served in a cast iron skillet. I was also very surprised and happy to see a list of gluten-free pancakes on the menu! I got two “plain” ones and they were very good. My spouse got a big platter of sausage patties, eggs, and biscuits and gravy, and everything was excellent. From beginning to end, our experience here was perfect. Yeah it was a little pricey lol but it’s well-worth the splurge. We will return in the future!“

“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.“

“Great selection, good value. All items that we tried were good, excepting the Sesame chicken, which was oddly sweet. Hot and sour soup is awesome! Service is good, but, ours had no personality. Will definitely come again and bring friends. We think that there is something for everyone here.“

“Nikki was a great waitress. The food was amazing!“

“We had heard about the Crab Ravioli and wanted to try. (also had mushroom ravioli) The food was outstanding.! The service was excellent, and it was a busy night. This is such a nice little restaurant and the prices are surprisingly reasonable.“
