“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!”
“Newly renovated , beautiful . The service was beyond reproach . Friendly , professional , engaging . We had the watermelon salad, Lasagne and the rice balls . Delicious nothing was left behind. Looking forward to our next meal there.”
“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”
“Jennifer and Donna were excellent servers at the bar. Gave history as to what they knew, checked in on us and others seated at the bar. They deserve a pay raise for sure. As long as they are here, ill be here.”

“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Everything was absolutely fabulous. The service the food they even sang happy birthday with almost a whole band and give me a stuffed animal in a dessert and saying happy birthday. It was amazing. The food was absolutely unbelievable. You can either have one meal or you can order a buffet style, but they bring it to you and then for 1895 which is such a wonderful idea. All my friends loved it or seven of us. I highly recommend this place.”
“We came here for a quick lunch. We are visiting from out of town. We were sat right away. Our server was so friendly I wish I remembered his name..Sebastian? Or something with a Z? So friendly always asked if we needed something. Filled our drink with refills. Food was great. Soup and salad. Some appetizers. We left him with a nice tip. Definitely recommend.”
“We celebrated my daughters graduation Friday evening May 16,2025 . My family of 15 people got served by an amazing hostess and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The food was outstanding, My family and I enjoyed ourselves,and do plan on coming back real soon. Thank you for an amazing evening.”
“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”
“Awesome food!! Excellent service!! From little Rock Arkansas!! Love this place!!”
“We had such a great experience. Big portions. Toasty bread. Steak was good, one was a little bit over cooked but nothing major. The most delicious and tender chicken I've ever eaten out at a chain restaurant.”

“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.”
“Delicious 😋 The Elk is amazing 👏 and their pasta dishes are pure perfection! Don't get started on their appetizers! 😋 The atmosphere is beautiful and intimate, perfect lighting and Italy playing on TV ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍”
“I am a hard Louisiana crawfish girl!! I enjoyed the crawfish and Skylor was awesome!! Come and check them out!”

“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! 🎂”
“I was really surprised by the quality of this place, absolutely delicious Ichiban chicken, I would get it weekly if I was a local. The eggrolls and pork sandwiches were also great. We weren't too hungry so we only got a few appetizers but the Ramen looked like it was good. I hope to be able to visit again sometime to try more things.”
“Love 3bs the new cook glaeshore idk how to spell it but he’s one of the workers sons. I LOVE HIM FOOD IT GREAT AND ATTITUDE IS AWESOME he was very busy but kept it very nice and respectful. My food was very delicious and came out in a timely manner. Please keep him, Austin, and David I LOVE THEM THEY MAKE ME FEEL AT HOME”
“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.”
“This place is awesome. They have the best meats that I can find. Guys are very helpful and knowledgeable. This is another gem that we have in Hot Springs.”

“What a little treasure! I had the best dining experience in a very long time this morning with music by Charley Mink and top notch service by Mark and his mother who run the Cafe. Breakfast sandwich was delicious and espresso was sweet and smooth. Sweet patio for outdoor dining. Love the cozy, homey feel. I'll definitely be back!”
“I ate there today and it was amazing! I had a catfish dinner, fried okra, and fried green tomatoes. My best friend and I enjoyed our food very much! Everything was amazing, standouts were the coleslaw because most places can not get it right…well Walkers did!!! Also the fried green tomatoes were amazing!!! I have no complaints about my meal and will be returning often! Thank you so much!!!”

“We arrived close to closing time after a day at the lake. They graciously let us in and served us as if they just opened. The staff were kind, professional and efficient. The food was exceptional, as always. Our group of 6 had a mixture of shrimp, chicken, and fish. Thank you so much for the great food and hospitality!”

“Would highly recommend. Service was fast and friendly and the food was great (by Texas standards 😊) The margaritas were absolutely top notch! This is an excellent place to sip a margarita and watch the world go by. We would come back to Hot Springs just for lunch here 👍🏼”
“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.”
“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.”

“Brickhouse Grill in Hot Springs was a great stop. The food was excellent, JJ was fantastic, and the bathrooms were clean. Parking is a little limited, but the location is great and easy to get to.
The artwork in the bathroom was my favorite little surprise. I’ve had a rough week, and those sweet messages genuinely lifted my spirits. I had already walked out, then went back for my phone so I could take a picture. Sometimes you need a little reminder that you’ve got this.”
“Amazing service!
I called in from Texas to place a delivery order for family that was vacationing on the lake. The young ladies were extremely helpful -went out of their way to help me make sure the order made it that evening. Awesome service!
And the cupcakes were a big hit!”
“Plenty of parking, items for those who are vegetarian, both Asian and American foods offered. Some of the food in the center of the buffet was cold and it is difficult to let someone know if they do not speak or understand English. The restaurant could do with a refresh considering the current prices. Would I eat there again yes. But I would not say it is the best option in Hot Springs.”
“The atmosphere was very local diner-ish. I expect there are a few locals that eat there. The coffee was very good. Hubby had biscuits & gravy, with 2 pancakes. He loved his biscuits & gravy and said the pancakes were great too. I had the pacific omelet with the best grits I've ever had this close to home! Its really hard to find a good bowl of grits in a restaurant, but for us grits connoisseurs, these were the absolute BEST!”

“My husband and I happened upon this wonderful adventure as we were looking for a local coffee shop while visiting Hot Springs for our 43rd wedding anniversary. What an adventure it was! From the moment we entered this shop, it was a delightful experience at every turn. If you are looking for an adventure and a great drink, this is your place. Great location, great refreshments, great people and great treats! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Visit the Salt Cave and see the wonderful selection of books you won’t find elsewhere. In other words, don’t take my word for it. Go see for your self. You won’t be disappointed. Side note: the owner and her beautiful, delightful daughter are a treasure.”
“This was an amazing experience. The food is delicious and well prepared. The love is in there, you can tell!
Wife had a ridiculously large burrito that was just as big on flavor as it was on size. She also enjoyed a coconut creme aqua fresca
I went with a sorta filled with chorizo and carne asada. The bolillo was perfect and the whole thing was again as big on delicious as it was on size.
Family run, and strange enough from 209 area code where I went to high school. Small world.
Very authentic Mexican street food. No chips and salsa to dilude the amazing flavors of your meal. Lots of wonderful dessert choices if you leave room.
Definitely stop in if you're in hot springs”
“Great food and really amazing service. Lori, our bartender, was great about helping me pick the perfect bottle of wine and happy to answer all my questions. Serah, our waitress, was funny and sweet. She was happy to answer all our questions, make suggestions and ensure our experience was phenomenal. Highly recommend this place.”

“I’m there pretty much every week getting an Italian Mike’s Way. I’ve gotten to know the manager and he’s great. Super friendly, personable, and always takes a minute to chat. The whole crew is always nice and the service is great. Plus my sandwich is always on point! Definitely one of my favorite places to grab lunch.”
“First time customers. Excellent food with excellent service. Excellent quality, I really appreciate the seed oil environment!!”
