“Some of the best food I have ever had. Great people, super friendly and the exact kind of place the community needs to support!!✊”

“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”

“The Hubby ordered to go and I must say they have some great burgers and reasonably priced. . I had the single he had the double. We shared the fries because it’s that much. Deliciousness 🤤 we will be back to sit down inside and enjoy.”

“Best burger and fries I’ve had in a long time. Friendly service and staff!! Will be back!! Maybe tonight!!!”

“If you happen to be in Hot Springs at breakfast time, you have to stop at The English Muffin. My veggie omelet was so light and fluffy even filled with vegetables and the Cranberry Citrus English muffin was devine. I thought I was in heaven.... until I tried Cliff's pancakes. Pure ecstasy”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”

“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!”

“Amazing service from Penny. Penny was very attentive and great customer service. Prime Rib was good but the pork tenderloin was okay. The pork could have had better flavor. The hostess was very unpleasant.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Splendid sandwiches where every ingredient is fresh and as it should be. Besides the tasty meat, good buttery cheese, crisp veggies, fresh bread, what stood out is the honey mustard dressing and crispy onions. Nice touches that made for a delicious bite.”

“went there for lunch with my family on Sunday and just checked my credit card statement and they charged me almost double for what my bill actually was. update: got $90 back. spoke to someone I was told was the manager and after he did some research he found my ticket from the day and figured out that he had "accidentally" typed $95 for the tip instead of $5. which was odd because when we did the receipt we broke total at the bottom. so you would think that if the total at the bottom of my receipt didn't match the total on the screen after he finished that he would question it but apparently not so he tipped himself almost what my bill was. I have a feeling I wasn't the first person and I have a feeling I won't be the last person and all I can say is if you use a card there. keep an eye on your your bill and if you have previously used a card there I'd take a look at my statement now”

“Friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable and the food is great! Had my order ready in five minutes.”

“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.”

“We traveled to Hot Springs for the very first time July 12 - 14. The Ohio Club was the best part of our trip. We ate/drank there twice & enjoyed sitting at the bar both times. We LOVED Madden #1 and would have bought a growler if it had been available. Hubby got two different hamburgers & enjoyed them both. I ordered the exact same thing both days…The Bugsy. I loved it! The sweetest lady behind the bar told us it was almost taken off the menu at one point in time. I’m so glad it wasn’t. Best sandwich ever!! Loved the atmosphere, vibe & history there. 10/10!!”

“delicious food and coffee! great atmosphere! definitely try them out, but get there early as they are a popular spot!”

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

“I was given a sugar-free, chocolate iced, yellow cake from Destiny’s for my birthday and it was incredible! The yellow cake was moist and the chocolate icing was rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. It did not have the icky sugar alcohol bitterness or aftertaste. I had decided not to bother since I’ve gone sugar-free bc who wants bleh birthday cake?! I’m so happy I got surprised with this! I’m the only one in my house who avoids sugar, but we devoured the cake. My family loved it just as much as I did, which says a lot because they usually go straight for the regular desserts. I also tried the chocolate-chocolate cupcake and it was delish, too. The yellow was the fluffier of the two cakes. If you’re looking for a sugar-free treat that still feels totally indulgent, I can’t recommend Destiny’s enough. It made my birthday extra special and I’ll definitely be getting another one! 🎂”

“best place ever! amazing service love the girls working in there”

“This is a absolute gem of a restaurant! The decor isn't fancy but what it lacks in eye candy or makes up for in food. This is a Ramen house through and through! If you love traditional Asian ramen you have to eat hear. Best I've had in a very long while. The appetizers are so good to. A lot to choose from and eat. Must try this place!”

“Everyone was very welcoming, they even invited our Dog to come inside. Great hamburger also!”

We tried the hot Banana Bread coffee, Brew Lagoon Fizz, Blood Orange Fizz, and Strawberry Lemonade. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how we hoped. The Banana Bread coffee was warm and comforting with a great flavor, the Brew Lagoon and Blood Orange Fizz were both refreshing, and the Strawberry Lemonade was delicious.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mad Hatter Cakery absolutely knocked it out of the park with this cake! The detail was incredible – from the metallic finish on the sides that looked like real steel, to the welding sparks design on top that tied perfectly into the theme. Not only did it look amazing, but it tasted just as good as it looked. The attention to detail, creativity, and flavor were top notch. Definitely recommend Mad Hatter Cakery for anyone wanting a cake that’s both stunning and delicious!”

“Nicole is the definition of customer service. Patient, communicative, hard working, and kind. She puts the customer experience first and is very transparent about abnormal wait times. On top of all that she’s doing this during the graveyard shift. Nothing but respect.”

“Stopped in for a bite with my best friend and went though the drive through.
The Customer service was 5⭐️ The lady was so kind to us and gave us our things in a timely manner.
We parked in the parking lot to eat and realized they forgot our cinnabons. We decided after we finish our food we will run through the drive through when we are heading home but the worker came out to deliver it to us without us asking!! They not only gave us our cinnabons but gave us two extra so we both have two. 10/10 service. This location is by my home so i will be coming back. Thank you!!”
