35 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Hot Springs

“New Cocktail we created. Yummy !!!“

“As a Hot Springs native, I’ve always considered the National Park the heart of our town. The trails, the historic bathhouses, and the mountain views are part of daily life here, not just a tourist stop. It’s where locals go to recharge, connect with nature, and share our heritage with visitors. Having such a beautiful park right in the middle of our city is something we’re proud of—it truly makes Hot Springs special. Dillon Erwin Hot Springs, AR“

“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“

“Burger was ok given the price it was(a bit overcooked but im not so picky), so nothing special. I will say that the amount of fries you get and how crispy they come out was great. I usually dont eat fries as much but this was an exception. Chose this spot since it was close by to the bathhouses and served to have a small bite to eat“

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

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

“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!“

“Awesome small business supporting other small businesses! Bonus - excellent coffee!“

“While spending the weekend in Hot Springs on 25 April 2026, this establishment was highly recommended by the young lady working the front desk at the hotel. I explained to her that I wanted a place that has a true “dive bar” feel and she without hesitation recommended Maxine’s and I too would recommend this place. The bartenders Ashley and Celeste were spot on. Very welcoming and never had you waiting for a drink. Speaking of drink, I will admit the coolers were not at full working capacity so the beers were not as cold as one would have expected them to be. Better than room temperature but not cold enough. As for the food? I ask Ashley to surprise me and that she did. The sandwich was absolutely amazing. So the next time that I am in Hot Springs Arkansas, I will be visiting Maxine’s again. I just hope the beer cooler is up to par.“

“I miss my Chicago pizza, only thing I miss about Chicago. I had their pizza for the first time today. It reminded me of a pizza I grew up on around the corner from my childhood home. Very good Chicago style thin crust, perfection!“

“We’ve Always Had A Great Experience At Sam’s Pizza Pub. The Food Is Consistently Delicious, The Atmosphere Is Fun And Welcoming, And When You Get One Of Their Attentive Servers, It Really Makes The Visit Shine. No Place Is Perfect Every Time, But This Spot Is A Local Favorite For A Reason—Great Comfort Food, Cold Drinks, And A Laid-Back Vibe That Keeps Us Coming Back. 🍕🍻“

“Server Jordyn was so personable and caring to every customer. You could see how happy their customers were. The pizza was delicious. We had the med with hot honey and beef and blue cheese with opera sauce. Amazing. Quality ingredients for sure. Specialty cocktail was like a cucumber Tom Collin’s - refreshing and great. The ice in the drinks is the awesome crunchy ice. The bathrooms are spotless. You could see the care all of the staff takes and little details. Happy employees, welcoming vibe. Superb playlist. Visit this shop!“

“We had a great time at open mic night. My boyfriend plays guitar and drums, among other instruments, and he had a blast playing a few sets with the others. The BBQ nachos were phenomenal! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the neighborhood on a Thursday night!“

“The customer service is fantastic; they accommodated my request for a high-floor room. I had a beautiful city view from the 14th floor! The room was spacious and clean, and the location is perfect as it is within easy walking distance to all the shops and attractions downtown. It is an incredible value for the price, and I truly got my money’s worth through the great service and convenient setting! 👌“

We would come back here all the time if we lived in town!“

“Nicole was working the drive thru on a late night and gave us the best customer service. She made us laugh and recommended some options to help our order. Not only was the service quick but fresh. Been to a lot of what’s burgers but tonight’s experience made me happy to have such a wonderful worker there. Make sure she gets a raise!“

“Great experience! Only tip I have is buy as much as you can while there! Don’t just get a couple bottles and think you’re going to order more online later! Always sold out! Their wine is so so delicious so this surprise me just disappointing not to have any to share with family at our holiday dinners without taking the 6 hour drive!“

“Last night we brought some friends for dinner. Walked in about 7:45 pm with no idea that closing time was 8:00 pm. Amber and the crew treated us great and the meal was excellent. They had to stay over for us and took great care of us. Thanks“
