This is a unique National Park. While it’s not the rugged hiker’s paradise that many others are, it has its own special charm. The historic bathhouses are fascinating to see, and the urban setting makes it perfect for a couple’s outing or casual day trip. I hiked the Peak Trail—super easy, though hot in the midday sun—and was rewarded with a beautiful view of Arkansas’s lush greenery from the top. Definitely worth a visit.

I had such a great experience visiting Hot Springs National Park! The mix of nature and history makes it a truly unique place — you can hike beautiful forest trails and then relax in the historic bathhouses. The water is warm, soothing, and perfect after a long walk. Everything is well-maintained, and the atmosphere feels peaceful and welcoming.

I understand protecting our natural resources, but I question the initial intention of the park and what it has become. Set within the town of Hot Springs, there are only 2 bathhouses still functioning. Originally “preserved for future recreation” by Congress in 1832, before National Parks were established, it seems like it was originally intended by as “medicinal”playground for the rich and famous (not surprising) and now, not so much. Still, the springs and history are fascinating and you should at least try one of the open bathhouses if you visit. There is some shopping and a few hiking trails, but not much else.

The Hot Springs National Park unfortunately was closed due to government shut-downs. However, we were still able to access the springs and the trails. The hot springs average around 130F so use caution if you have your small children with you. We had a 5yo & 7yo and they were able to be careful and enjoy touching and learning about the springs. Because the park is integrated within the downtown, it didn’t take long to walk the trail. There’s a lot more trails to hike that we did not do with our youngest kids this trip.

Different kind of Mario Al park. Not a lot of hiking trails, but we did manage to do about 4 miles, uphill for a mile straight, so there are options. There are also roads going to the attractions that the trails end at if you’re not into hiking. One unique thing about this park is the bathhouses that are still operating for a one of a kind spa experience. Cool park, but keep in mind this is an urban area, not the solitary park you may be used to.

The vibe here is incredible. The different places to go and things to do that are FREE(not the food- but the water is!!)- From bathhouse row to the Gangster Museum to Fat Jacks. Do yourself a favor and GO!!!!!!

Thos park is a lot different from other National Parks. Its small and crowded. Bring plenty of empty containers to take home some spring water, it will come out very hot. If you can go pamper yourself at one of the bathhouse. Lots of history there.

This restaurant gave me all the feels! I felt like I was stepping back in time to a pancake shoppe that my grandparents would have take me to. I loved the nostalgic atmosphere, the fast yet hospitable service and more importantly the delicious pancakes. I wish I had taken more pictures but I was caught up in the moment of enjoying my cup of coffee and cozying up with my kids on a rainy morning. Just wonderful. The wait wasn’t bad. Be prepared to have to pay to park.

Georgia took amazing care of us! It was so busy but we immediately got a seat and she was constantly filling up our coffee and water. The food itself was awesome! As you can see, we had a feast. The chocolate chip pancakes were fluffy with melted chocolate and the sausage…wow! They have house made sausage and it’s savory, lightly spicy, and matched with what we ate. They will get you in and out rapidly! Also, the french toast is deep fried and dissolves in your mouth. 😍

We LOVE breakfast places and Hot Springs has no shortage of them, but when we saw reviews for The Pancake Shop we knew we had to try it. We went at about 8:30 on a Friday morning. While there was no wait, we did accept spots at the little bar they had. Be warned that the Pancake Shop is known to have a wait but they'll take your name down and come outside and call for you, even at the 2 shops next door on either side. The staff was very nice but it's about elbow room only. The fresh squeezed orange juice tastes AMAZINGLY fresh. We HAD to try a pancake, of course. It tastes like it's made with applesauce. Very light and airy. We had a veggie omelet and sausage patties (locally sources, filling, and not greasy), scrambled eggs and white toast and coffee. I also had grapefruit juice. The apple butter that comes with the toast is also amazing. Highly recommend, they close at 1pm so don't plan to go after noon!!

This restaurant is excellent. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. The pancakes were fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. The coffee was so good I’m going to go back tomorrow morning. We came at the right time as when we finished there was a line out the door. Clearly a local favorite.

Awesome retro pancake place. Feels like the kind of place you would go with your family on a Saturday morning. Buckwheat pancakes with banana were great and fueled our hike through the park. Restaurant is a little crowded and loud.

A Must-Stop Breakfast Spot in Hot Springs! ​My husband and I decided to stop by The Pancake Shop on our final morning in Hot Springs, and it was the perfect decision. We were pleasantly surprised to find no wait, and we were seated immediately. From start to finish, the experience was excellent, especially thanks to our friendly and efficient waitress, who was simply fantastic. ​For our savory items, my husband ordered the classic two eggs with a ham steak, and I chose the two eggs with sausage. The difference-maker here is the sausage—it is delivered fresh daily, and I can confidently say it was the absolute best I have ever had. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, a real standout on the plate. ​We also split a stack of their famous pancakes. They deliver these fluffy delights with a wide selection of toppings, including traditional butter and syrup, apple butter, and jellies, allowing for a personalized tasting experience. The pancakes themselves were light and delicious, the ideal way to cap off the meal. ​We genuinely loved our experience at The Pancake Shop. Great service, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area and would definitely return on our next trip to Hot Springs!

A True Gem in Hot Springs — Feels Like Family This little pancake shop is such a gem! It’s a true mom-and-pop place, and you can tell it’s been around for a long time—in the best way. The staff were incredibly friendly and caring, so sweet to our baby girl and so attentive to our family. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming. The pancakes were out of this world—especially the buckwheat pancakes. My husband is very selective about his pancakes, and he said these were some of the best he’s ever had. That alone says a lot! We loved it so much that even though we were in Hot Springs for just over a week, we ended up coming back a second time. Even during the busy fall season, we had no trouble parking and were seated right away (it was a weekday, but still impressive during tourist season). Absolutely recommend this place—love the food, love the people, and love the heart behind it.

The food was okay... nothing to write home about, but the atmosphere? Absolutely iconic. I will note the spicy green beans were SO GOOD. The Ohio Club is dripping with history, and if you're even slightly into vintage charm, mobster lore, or old barroom vibes, you'll be hooked. From the massive hand-carved mahogany bar that was hauled here by barge and horse (yes, really), to the wild stories of gangsters, gamblers, and even presidents hanging out here...this place is a living time capsule. Every corner has something cool to look at, and you can feel the stories in the walls. Drinks were solid and definitely worth the price, staff was friendly, and even though the food didn’t blow us away, it’s still a great lunch stop just for the ambiance and the conversation starter it is. You don’t just eat here ... you step into history.

Iconic bar restaurant on bath House Alley. Drinks are a little pricey, they also sell glasses and t-shirts and even charge for small stickers. If I drop $50 at the bar and leave a $15 tip, it sure would be nice if you would give me a $2 sticker. Unfortunately, that's the impression I left with. Next time I'm in Hot Springs I'll give it another shot.

Food and service were excellent. Our server Ryan was fantastic. Took the time to answer our questions and tell us a bit about the restaurant/bar. Dinner and drinks were great. And the Fried Pies for dessert were the best!

Decently crowded when we went for lunch. I haven't experienced it at night or late night, so maybe its different during those hours. But, for lunch, its overpriced. None of the food was bad or anything like that. Just average to good bar food but a few dollars more expensive per dish than normal. Ill try and go back at night for a different experience, but not for lunch.

Went on a Saturday Evening to take the wife out for her Birthday dinner. Really good atmosphere and food. I got the hangover burger and she got the Hawaiian burger we both enjoyed and ate every bite. Got to enjoy some good live local music later that day. Will definitely be back to try out other things on the menu. If you enjoy a good burger and beer this is the place to go.

Not a lathe place but the atmosphere is amazing. If you want to see where a real OG ended up after leaving New York, check it these digs. The food was better than most bar food. The drinks were spendy but well made. The staff was really friendly and informative. We enjoyed this spot and the history is real. Check it out when you're in Hot Springs, Bathouse Row. There are places to get cheaper drinks but honestly, the story of this spot is worth the upcharge.

Wonderful drinks. Wonderful food. Wonderful people. Wonderful atmosphere. This place was great! So glad me and my girlfriend found this place traveling through on our way to Isabella, MO. Highly recommend this place! So much history! Oh and they have friendly ghosts that hang out!

Superior Bathhouse Brewery in Hot Springs uses the hot natural spring water to make their beer. Great outdoor patio and plenty of space. Their root beer float was delicious and next time I’m gonna get the steak sandwich. The share-a-bowl nachos were good. I’d recommend them. Go check out this brewery!

Fantastic lunch while we were seeing Bathhouse Row. The building is gorgeous, with much of it original to the build. I had the Reuben Sandwich (which was enough for two meals) with Onion Rings and it was so good! Be sure to ask for a cup of their housemade spicy mayo to dip them in. My hubs had a Bacon Smashburger with the housemade Mac and Cheese. He loved the burger, but the Mac and cheese was served cold and soupy, even though we were among the first to dine there for the day. They need some serious revamping of that particular side. I also had the Chocolate Fiesta Stout, which was delicious with a pepper finish and the Foul Play, which is a chocolate coffee oatmeal stout. Everything was great!

Great place to grab a bite after hiking in the national park. Beers are made using the water from the local hot springs, so it is truly something unique to this brewery. One other great thing- it’s dog friendly and has meat options in the menu for your furry friends! We started with a pretzel, just because we walked though the place they were making them, and they smelled amazing. Weren’t disappointed. We split the steak nachos since we were just hungry enough to want to eat, but didn’t want to spoil dinner. It was still a lot of food, but very tasty.

Ate and drank here several times during our stay. Great beer selection! The food is great as well. Try the buffalo nachos for a snack, Cesar salad if you’re looking for the lighter side. Buffalo wings are the best I’ve had in a while. Cooked correct and a great quality chicken supplier covered with a flavorful spicy wing sauce and a well made blue cheese. I like the darker beers and they actually had a healthy selection. Joining their loyalty club will pay dividends on your second visit- so why not! A must stop when in Hit Springs!

Request Brock if you stop by! His attitude is outstanding and his recommendations are on point. If you need someone to hype up your choice - he’s your guy. Honestly, one of the kindest servers I’ve met in a long time and genuinely seemed to be happy to be at work. People can make or break a moment. He made lunch outstanding. Regarding the venue, your standard brewery and turn it up a notch and add in a little history… the beer list is extensive, with a little bit of something for everyone, including an amazing homemade rootbeer for kids and nondrinkers. Drink it fast as it flattens out quickly once in a cup. Plenty of burgers, nachos, and apps to go around. They have those terrible metal chairs that are everywhere anymore, but I give them points for having the wider ones - they were plus size friendly. Overall, there is plenty of variety and beef is sourced locally along with a handful of other ingredients. Gluten free options are limited, but the Sweet Potato Salad hit home and was totally unique - definitely add the pork on top. It is a little foodie focused with some unique flavors and pairings offered. Burgers and sandwiches can be made over a bed of lettuce as an accommodation as well. The shared fryer limits options for strict GF followers and you should proceed with caution. No GF Beers are on the menu, but cider and other offerings are. Overall, I’ll be back. The service stood out - with a friendly and helpful staff even amongst a busy window. Be patient things run a little slower… it is the south, it is a brewery, take it easy folks, and enjoy looking out the window.

HIGHLY RECCOMEND! We came here 6 years ago during our first trip to Hot Springs, amd it was our first stop when we got back in town for our honeymoon this weekend. Everything was even better than we remembered. Excellent food, the beers brewed from the hot springs are so smooth, and the atmosphere is great. Stopped one last time for dinner before we left town and it'll be our first stop next time we're back!

If you are in the area, this place is a must-stop! The service was great, and the Patty Melt was the best I have ever had (and I have had many). The burgers were cooked to perfection, and the sauce and onions were perfect! GF had the Black Bean burger, which she enjoyed with the seasoning they used. The fries were a solid 9/10: crispy, well-seasoned, and a large amount. It is also dog-friendly if you want to bring your little pooch along for a tasty beer and meal. I had the jalapeno beer, a wheat beer, and a hazy; all delicious.

Overall this was a good experience. It was fun for my kids ages 10 and 13. We did pay extra to feed the baby alligators. We arrived on a Sunday early afternoon. It was not crowded most likely due to the high temperatures and it being Sunday. This is not a guided tour or at least it was not while we were there. I think that that would be very helpful if there were people around to ask questions or tell you fun facts. There are some signs up, but mainly warnings. We went through and looked at the alligators, they have some other wildlife there like lemurs, another monkey, and a wolf. The petting zoo was just okay you can go in with the rabbits, and the goats. You get a small tin roughly 5 oz Chex mix to feed the goats, sheep, emu, and donkeys. The rabbits, ducks, and turtles you must purchase lettuce from the vendors there.. and they're hard to find. The person handing out the Chex mixes there but the one to hand out the lettuce and other things was not around. And it's a dollar for a piece of lettuce. We paid extra to pay the baby alligators but the lady that was hosting it with trying way too hard and in the most respectful way I can state was very rude. She was trying to be funny but was being very aggressive and her demeanor was not necessarily appropriate for my children. I was not very happy with her. She immediately made comments about my son's hair being too long which was not okay. Then made fun of him for how he was handling the baby alligator while I realize that there is safety protocols in there where she needs to say and be aggressive or assertive to protect the animal and you She did it in a very callous and mocking way instead of a respectful way. I declined feeding them and I wanted my son to take my spot and she argued with me that I should be the one to feed it and I flat out said I'm here because of my son it's for him so I'm letting him take the feeding turn. I felt like I was having to argue with a grown person and I was very annoyed. We then left there and went to the gift shop. The gift shop was cute they had lots of cute stuff the people that were working there were very helpful and knowledgeable about all the items that they had and we did enjoy that part very much. Overall it is a very neat experience, I would highly suggest More signage outside with descriptions, or fun facts. Again not bashing this place. This is just an honest review from somebody that does go to similar places and in comparison to others this one I found to be lacking in customer service in the outside, and overall enjoyment because you didn't get to learn anything about the animal unless you were reading an old article inside the store. Overall like I said, this was a decent experience. I'm not sure that I would ever go again.

Went when I was a lil girl. When my hub wanted to go today I was kinda like “I guess something to do”. OMG it was so much fun. I love the animals and this made my day. Goats, sheep, donkeys, wolves, birds, and oh yeah, lots of gators. The biggest one over 800 lbs!! The girl handling the baby gators was so brave and informative. Learned a lot on gators. Really cool. The wonderful employees helped even helped me look for my lost wallet! Thank you. Definitely go there when in town and pet the animals. They love it (the furry ones, not the gators lol)

We were visiting Hot Springs from out of town and made sure we arrived on Thursday before noon to experience the alligator feeding. Brandon was a great guide and it’s clear he is very passionate about alligators and wildlife. He gave special attention to every question asked and you can tell he loves what he does. The rest of the staff were super kind and friendly and accommodating. I had read some mixed reviews about the farm/petting zoo so I went in with low expectations but the petting zoo was a great outing for our family. Highly recommend!

It was good family fun. The Donkeys were so cute and and friendly. The Petting zoo was so much fun. Lots of animals to love on. You can even hold a baby alligator. We will come back!

I must give a five star for the cleanliness and humane way the animals are cared for. This place has been here since the early 1900s. The same family has owned it since 1946. Friendly people, cool souvenirs, and fun to hold the alligator!

We were on a family back to school field trip/ getaway. Perfect place just for that. Devin is a great your guide. His interaction and story telling with the kids is above and beyond.

Super neat for the whole family! Alligator feeding and speech was cool. You get to hold a baby alligator, that was super fun! Stroller friendly but there are mostly rocks. Plenty of animals. Peacocks, a monkey, wolves, gators, goats, emu, birds, chickens, ducks, lemurs and more!

We went here for dinner. Headsup, if you're hungry and want your food to be available fast, this is not the place for you. We were told to sit anywhere. As soon as we sat, the server gave us water and took our orders. Thats when the waiting game starts, we ordered the ossobucco and the broken beef meatloaf, server said it will take 25 mins which we are initially ok. So we ordered crab cake as appetizer. That took about 30 mins before it was served to us. The crab cake was so good. You can actually see big chunks of crab meat on it. It took another 20 mins from the time time that we finished the appetizer to the time my entree was served. Ossobucco was fantastic, it was so tender and flavorful. The collared greens that comes with it was tad salty for my taste. So it took almost 1 hour for us to get our entree in total. Dont get me wrong, the food was phenomenal but with the wait time, i dont known if its worth it.

THE WATERS HOTEL- AVENUE RESTAURANT we stayed at this hotel during spring break. the hotel was fine, food tasted fine, unfortunately we got downstairs at 10:00AM for breakfast and had to wait TWO hours for our food. we had to request a late-check out due to their service and it still wasn’t enough, we had to rush upstairs to get our luggage. there were only 3 other tables in the restaurant. didn’t make sense. public customers who were NOT staying at the hotel arrived, got seated and served food before we were ever helped. service on the rooftop bar was terrible as well, the same two people serving at the bar were the same two people serving breakfast. for $700+ per night we definitely expected a different experience. we will not be back. waiting two hours for food is NOT WORTH VACATION TIME. they were also out of gravy and jelly.

Funny, had to go to Hot Springs to get the best crab cakes. Meat loaf was delicious, made fresh, never frozen. Everything on menu was great. Chef is amazing and very friendly. If you looked at old reviews, disregard. New cook and staff, also bar upstairs is great now Hotel is real piece of unique history. Don’t miss the Ohio club next door. This was about 1 month ago. Thanks Chef. Pictures: No Urinal is clean it’s original. Ohio club and hotel rooftop bar.

We sat for about 15 minutes without any service while the wait staff argued over who would take our table. The table behind us arrived after we did, yet they were served drinks and placed their order right away. When we finally got up to leave, no one acknowledged us. I asked if anyone was planning to serve our table, and the response was that they were still trying to figure it out. It was especially disappointing because we were greeted so warmly by the host, but the experience ended with us walking out without ever being served.

Went here about 10am for Brunch New Year’s Eve, table of 2. I was looking for somewhere that had Shrimp and grits and could nail it and they definitely did. My love got the Birria Chilaquilles it was an amazing flavor for everything in one bite. We also had one cocktail each. They are seasonal. The waitress we had was very enthusiastic and tentative. Definitely will be back

We had an extremely pleasing experience at this restaurant. The staff made us feel welcome, when we walked in the door, without sounding forced. Within no time, we had water on our table and a drink order. It was a hot day - this had much more importance than it otherwise would. I ordered a martini while my partner ordered a blackberry bramble. The martini was excellent and I had a sip of the blackberry bramble - it was good. For food, I ordered The Avenue omelet (it contained cheese, onion, potato, and shaved ribeye), my partner ordered the dish with eggs, tortilla chips, and some meat (a chilaquiles dish?) it looked delicious and she said it was filling and wonderful. The decor accented the space well, the lights were low-key and had a color that highlighted the art work on the walls - the atmosphere was perfect.

The owner of this establishment needs to step in with the staff. When you have to stare at employees standing around talking, while getting ZERO service, and they do everything they can to not make eye contact, it's an embarrassment (we were seated, and after more then 15 minutes were never spoken too and another table was seated 10 minutes later and got waters and ordered food while we were still waiting for the first person to speak to us) . I wish I was a vulgar, outspoken patron that would have stood up and made a scene, but that is wholly unfair to the other customers that are paying for their meal. This is the first time I have ever stood up and walked out of a restaurant. The management of this establishment needs to step in to correct this restaurant before I would ever imagine going back.

We were visiting Hot Springs and decided to eat at Rolando's. We were quickly seated. Afterwards, we don't know what happened! They struggled to get us a waiter( for a party of 3), then from that time to when our food was brought to us, it took 1 whole hour. That God for the chips and salsa. Now, at some point, the manager came to tell us that they had an issue with the printer in the kitchen and that our food was going to be out soon. We waited. Finally, the food came out, and I could not believe my eyes!!!. 2 of us ordered fajitas, and the other one a burrito( the burrito was served right and properly and it looked amazing on the plate). The fajita meat were just thrown on the plate, on top of the rice, the beans were on one side looking unappetizing, there was almost no grilled bell peppers , just look at the pictures!!( the "fajitas" plate was mine. That picture was taken right after they served it to me).Is this the way to serve fajitas? Is this the way to serve customers? I don't care what was going on in the kitchen, it should have been handled delicately in a way that the customers are not caught in the middle of it. The one stars I gave was due to our waiter who was phenomenal and went beyond to make up for the wasted time and the food presentation. They did tell us that the food was on the house but still at that, it does not justify the fact that you will just throw the food anyhow on the plate.

Delicious Food & Great Patio Experience We were quickly seated on their patio, which was super nice and such a great spot to relax. Our server, Paul, was very attentive and helped us navigate the menu — excellent service! The salsa here is absolutely AMAZING, and the food feels very homemade and authentic. We ordered the beef nachos, the Cuban plate, and the Cuban sandwich — everything was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great service, great food, and a really cozy patio atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

In Hot Springs fora couple of days to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, and Rolando’s was suggested for dinner by a staff member at the Arlington Hotel across the street. What a culinary gem! The restaurant area downstairs was full of character, but given the choice by the very cordial hostess, we were seated upstairs in Rolando’s SpeakEasy. The Cuban sandwich was excellent, as was my daughter’s more traditional Latin American entree. Guac and cheese dip were amazing as well. Felt like we’d stepped back in time as we dined among Al Capone photos on the wall. Our server “Dustin” was beyond wonderful, as he explained the menu and the place’s history, and ensured we were well taken care of, and having fun. It was a bit chilly and damp for the patio, but after dinner, we had to check it out. Beautiful cozy garden area with lights everywhere, including in the trees. For historic charm and character, delicious cuisine, and a unique experience, you must try Rolando’s.

Rolando's Nuevo Latina restaurant in Hot Springs offers a delightful culinary journey with a unique Latin American flair. The menu features a diverse range of dishes that go beyond typical Mexican fare, incorporating flavors from various South American and Caribbean cuisines. Cuban sandwiches, enchiladas, quesadillas, and a decent size kids menu. On our recent visit, despite the dining room being quite crowded, the atmosphere remained pleasantly mellow and not at all noisy, allowing for easy conversation. What truly impressed us was the incredible dedication of the young woman (blonde) who seemed to be managing the entire dining room by herself. She was a whirlwind of efficiency and grace, taking orders, delivering food, and clearing tables with remarkable speed and a friendly demeanor. While it was clear she was working incredibly hard, she never faltered and provided excellent service to every table. In fact, there was a group of 15 people that came in when we were finishing up our meal. One of the male customers was especially rude to her, but she remained calm and was extremely professional. The food itself was fresh and flavorful, with standouts like their distinctive black bean and corn salsa served with complimentary chips. Super good! We passed on the often-praised guacamole but we’ll have to get it next time. We were in a hurry today. We had chicken and cheese enchiladas, beans and rice. The cheese was outstanding! If you're looking for something a bit different and appreciate a truly dedicated staff, Rolando's Nuevo Latina is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared to be impressed by their hardworking team! Great food. And great service.

Excellent first time visit eating here. We sat outside in the back & it was perfect. Drinks & food were a 10/10! Definitely a Hot Springs must try.

We got the appetizer adventure and Rolando's Bananas. Lot of food with the appetizers Very pleased with all, goat cheese quesadilla and taquitos were the standouts. Bananas were very nice. Friendly, quick service.

Hidden in plain sight, this cozy yet accounting establishment charmed us with outdoor whimsy. Copied right up to the solid mountain behind it, this casual dining experience will echo in your mind when looking for a getaway.

My first time. The owner was wonderful & proud of what he does. He chatted us up & made very good burgers. The cheddar cheese brought it all together. We will be back.

BAILEY'S is The One Place to find Genuine Hand-Patted 100% Beef HAMBURGERS Fully Dressed. Is there any other way to have a Burger? And the French Fries ARE Delicious. You Have NEVER Had A Burger Until You've Had A BAILEY BURGER.

I love supporting this charming spot. The menu is extensive and the food excellent! They care about their food and service and we will always choose them over chain burger.

Visited Hot Springs, Arkansas place is kinda just ok. They charge you 3.5% to use a card. Don't tell you in advance the sandwiches are tiny and expensive. They refuse to give you receipts and overcharged me. Check your bank account.

If I could give no stars, I would. I was scammed by the nicest little old Asian man. I ordered 5 double cheeseburgers. 3 small shakes and 1 order of French fries and 1 order of onion rings. I always speak clear English to make sure I am being understood as my in laws are Asian and I have learned to be clear. I got my bill and he had charged me 77.00 and then another 9+ on a separate ticket due to him forgetting to add the fries and onion rings. It seemed high so I added everything. It didn’t come up right. I kept getting 10-12.00 less than his total. I asked him to clarify it. He says I ordered the jumbo double cheeseburger. Again, my son was standing right there when I ordered. No mention of jumbo was ever made. I said this is not what I wanted and he just said sorry and walked off. Now mind you, he could have tried to clarify with me which double cheeseburgers I wanted if he thought I was unclear. He made no effort then either. Obviously this was his intention to begin with which is why he was less than accommodating. So I waited for my food. I received the jumbo cheeseburgers I guess but they weren’t what I asked for and frankly aren’t made the same so I was disappointed. The fries were 4.00 and came in a very small 3 inch container. I got 5 onion rings for over 4.00. The prices are high anyway and I get it, everyone is trying to make a buck and survive. That’s why you would think he would be appreciative of big orders and just keep it in the up and up. Unfortunately it looks like he takes the opportunity to scam people who make large orders. I hope he enjoyed my money, I won’t be back to him again. He can smile all the way to bank this time. Even people who have ill will know how to smile.

We stopped by Bailey’s on our way back to our Airbnb and it was such a treat! You’re greeted by the owner who is kind and has the most genuine smile. We went for vanilla ice cream cones and since there wasn’t anyone behind us we chatted with the owner while eating our ice cream! The ice cream is delicious - reminds me of the texture of Chick Fil A’s ice cream! Stop by - you won’t be disappointed! A little off the main strip but worth the drive!

Shake was delicious and the two older asian folks that run it are just so sweet and polite. Very unique menu

Lovely romantic ambiance! Small dining room. Wonderful mood lighting. Delicious food. The bread is amazing! So nice to be in a quiet sedate environment after a long day on the go. The portions are huge!

About a month ago, we were traveling in Charlotte, NC for business and happened upon Via Roma. We walked in just as they were opening and were greeted immediately and escorted to our table. Our waitress, Megan, was not only friendly and pleasant, but was so knowledgeable of the menu and was able to answer any question we had. She spoke to us about where we were from and helped us with our selections. I was so impressed by the food, the people, and the atmosphere. My husband has been back for business trips since our visit and the food never disappoints. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The dishes we ordered were all exceptionally delicious, and the portions were quite generous. Our waiter, Andreas, was exceedingly kind, helpful, and attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this establishment, and if you happen to be in the vicinity and have a craving for excellent Italian cuisine, Via Roma is certainly worth a visit. I trust you will not be disappointed.

Wow! My wife and I were in Hot Springs for the first time and stumbled upon this gem of a place. The minute you walk in you feel like you are in a special place. The service was wonderful, but the star of the show is the food. Just thinking about the flavors we experienced makes us want to go back again and again. Every dish was perfect. Compliments to the chef and to the owner, Adriano, who put such a fantastic menu together for his guests. Stop by, you will not regret it!

Overall This place was absolutely amazing!!! The only reason it didn't get a 5 was because it took roughly 60-90 minutes to get our food. We were absolutely blown away with how PHENOMENAL THE FLAVOR WAS! We were told that normally the food doesn't take that long, so just be aware. Food CANNOT PRAISE IT ENOUGH!! EVEN WRITING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW HAS MY MOUTH WATERING! I don't know how they do what they do but I wish I could learn to cook like this. I added our receipt in the picture, and you can see what we ordered. We highly recommend our items and the portion size was absolutely amazing!!! Pricing This place is more pricey, so be aware. However, I will strongly vouch that the flavor and the portions make up for the pricing! Adult beverages Strong! And regularly priced. We were happy with the wine selection and their margaritas. Had us riding the wave and having some pep in our step. Customer Service Ange was absolutely the sweetest. At times she forgot to bring out water and some small things, but her coworkers had her back. It was a busier night for her so we totally understood. She is super sweet and had phenomenal recommendations. If you sit in her section, she take care of you with a smile! Parking It's a smaller place so it is a little hard to find parking. So be aware. Reservations I highly recommend to call ahead and make a reservation if you intend to eat here. This place probably gets busy regularly and it's because the FOOD IS SO PHENOMENAL!

What a sweet little gem in Hot Springs. The wine list, massive. The food, made when you order and amazing (huge portions). But above anything else, Andreas was probably the best server I’ve had in a dining experience. He was so knowledgeable on the menu, and really honest about recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed.

When you play any table games make very sure you know the rules bc the dealer may not and it will cost you. I played 3 card poker for three hours. The dealer needs a queen or higher to "qualify" their hand, meaning to put their hand against yours. If they do not qualify then you get your play money back and paid out for your ante and the side bets if you have and hit them. When my dealer was not qualifying her hand she would give back my play money but take my ante. I didn't know and she was dealer, so I assumed she was right. Another lady sat down and caught it first hand and called over the floor boss. They called up and she was pulled from table. I never got any money but at that time I was so pissed off that I left table. My loss for your awareness. If I ever do go back I'd sit with the older locals who know the games better than dealers do.

My husband and I had never been to a casino before but we hope that they are all as wonderful as Oaklawn! The dealers were very understanding about our lack of knowledge and helped us to have the best experience by explaining the rules. We played quite a bit of blackjack and had an excellent time! The service was attentive without being overbearing. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Hot Springs!

Definitely not what I was expecting. Most casinos give freeplay or something for your first time coming, but not here. Didn't get nothing but a card. Plus drinks are not free when you play and I found out the hard way. Already losing money then get hit with a $16 Bill for a crown & coke!!! I could've gotten a pint for that much! So this is definitely not the place for me...I'll stick with Tunica and West Memphis!

We stayed for 3 nights at the hotel and gambled a little in the casino. It’s hard to beat the casino; especially when a winning ticket gets stolen by the hotel maid service. I know, I know, we should have not let a measly $39 ticket unattended in the room but still, it was our ticket, it was our property! We immediately reported the missing ticket, and got the run around right away, and during the rest of our stay. They didn’t even enter and clean the room after. We were told things like: • “Was it supposed to be a tip?” No, it was not a tip it was our winning ticket from the previous night that we did not redeem 1st thing in the morning! • “ I would not have left the ticket on the TV stand if it were me” That one came from the hotel desk. . . That’s true but we did, it was ours and your staff stole the ticket! • “We will look into it, find out the maid who entered your room and get back to you” They did not get back to us, not over he next day and a half before we checked out, nor did they even mention it when we did. • We wrote an email to management and still no response. So, y’all, we would not stay again at this hotel! They do not care about your belongings, which only encourages the theft by the staff.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend. We had fun at the casino, relaxed at the spa, and had a delicious dinner at The Bugler. The room service was professional and prompt. My only complaint is having used toilet paper and used panty liners in the bathroom drawer in the room we stayed in.

My Fiance and I were staying in the area from Texas. We decided to hit the Casino up out of Pure Boredom. What a Mistake!! The Silk Bartender ( i think Kelly or Kaley) was awesome. All the others Bartenders seemed blasted out of their minds. In the meantime there was an altercation Where Spencer ( Security) did nothing but mock the situation to make it a horrible experience. Completely Unstable and we both felt Unsafe being there once we made it to our room. We will not be returning to Oaklawn again.

Nice hotel, spacious room, kind staff, plenty to do and see in the area. Booked a massage, facial, mani & pedi, and got to use the amenities at the Astral Spa. Spa experience was lovely, the staff was very helpful and kind. Pricing for spa services is too high in my opinion. May or may not be back.

Absolutely great experience! We wanted to share a meal and they made it not only easy, but fun too! Our food (burger, fries, and milkshake) was great and I loved the purple ice cream and the 50s theme. Highly recommend The Purple Cow!!!!!!!

The atmosphere was welcoming and light. The service was warm and friendly. The food however, was another story. My husband ordered the grilled turkey sandwich and it had almost no meat and the veggies were poor. And the sandwich was SMALL! Not worth $11! My son got a cheese burger, and it says something when he said mcdonalds is better. I got a grilled rueben sandwich. There was little meat and almost no saurkraut. To top it off, my bread was soggy as if it got soaked in water before being served. Therefore not toasted bread. I also got chili cheese fries. Very disappointed. Very little chili and WAY too much cheese. As for dessert, it was good! My husband and kids enjoyed their malt shakes and lava cakes. We would come back for their ice cream menu, but NOT the regular food.

Our First time at the Purple Cow. We had such a great experience 😀. Hubby has the mushrooms burger( gluten free bun) with fries. It was great. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with chili on the side. It was perfect!. Last but not least, hubby and I shared a scoop of purple vanilla ice cream. It was sooo yummy. We will definitely go back again to the purple cow🥰. Gluten Free option is a +++++ Vanilla lactose free ice cream option ++++

We were recommended this restaurant during the Duck Boat tour and 10/10 recommend going! Our server was friendly and patient with us since it was our first time. They have black bean and turkey patty options for the burgers as well if you have dietary restrictions.

Super fun diner to eat at. I loved the name and that why stopped. Hubby got the club sandwich which was good. I got a burger onion rings and the purple ice cream pie...all really delicious!

First time that I’ve ever had to wait decades for food. It’s been a long time and gosh the wait was 30 minutes long…. Like dang really. Always go for the chicken finger platter and today tried something new…. BLT. Nope. Cold sweet potato fries. But still great purple shakes.

As someone who has alpha gal(red meat allergy) I was so excited they have a turkey burger that I could make a mushroom Swiss! I was only able to take a bite out of it, I was so disappointed it was so dry it just crumbled. My husband got a buffalo ranch chicken sandwich and the sauce was just not good at all. The atmosphere was a bit off. When we walked in the hostesses was so sweet but one of the waitresses was scolding her over not putting enough chairs at a table that was put together for a party of 12, it was just not a very inviting feeling. I’ve never had this experience here but I will probably not be back after this.

I learned so much about both baseball and gangster activities in the history of Hot Springs. I enjoyed it so much I got a couple books about it here and went back to my room and read them. Such interesting history! The museum itself relies heavily on videos to tell the story. You go from room to room and watch a video then go to the next. Each room tells a different part of the story. They were interesting and filled with local people. There was memorabilia in the rooms as well. But not like most typical museums. I feel like it is more about the stories. Enjoyed!!

The Gangster Museum was an unique experience! Our tour guide was a plus. He was dressed in character, full of energy, and rattling off fascinating stories like he’s been living in that era himself. You could totally tell he loves what he does, and that passion made the tour way more engaging. The photos, artifacts, and vintage details were awesome! Everything from old roulette tables to mugshots of the most notorious mobsters. We learned so much about how deep the gangster ties ran in Hot Springs, and it was way more than we expected! The only thing that dragged a bit were the videos. If you're into history, crime stories, or just want to do something different, this place is a must-see for a super affordable price !

I put no wait to get in because youcan just walk right in, but you may have to wait for a tour to start. It is well worth the money. Lots of very cool and amazing artifacts and information!! I highly recommend going there when visiting Hot Springs!

Its ok. But not really what I expected. Mostly pictures on the walls, etc. and while someone tells you information, the majority are videos. The Gangster Museum is really a history of the city as stranger/gangsters began to vist it and go for entertainment. They do have a few other items to tie it together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First-time visitors to Hot Springs and we’re glad we stopped at the Gangster Museum! The tour runs about an hour and a half and mixes live presentation, stories, and videos. Really cool way to learn about the fascinating history of Hot Springs and its ties to the gangster era. We walked away having learned a lot and enjoyed every minute. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in town!

Look into buying tickets prior to showing up. If there is a big crowd it will have limited seating in each rooms. Informational and a great place to buy hats.

This is a solid fun thing to do while in Hot Springs. I really liked the interesting information presented and some cool artifacts or props to look at, many of which you can touch. The people we interacted with were all super nice as well. As mentioned in the reviews, the tour itself is uniquely laid out. You go from room to room, listen to a few minutes of the guide introducing the room, then a video is played (around 10 minutes long), then the guide comes back in and talks for another few minutes. Then you get to look around for a few more minutes before going to the next room. You can spend as long as you want in those rooms reading everything if you wanted to but you may miss the tour guide talking about the next room. Also, each room only has like 10 chairs or so, when there is 20 ish people, so you're not guaranteed a seat while that 10 minute video is played. The only thing is our guide, although nice, wasn't really the best guide for this kind of a tour. You need someone with a loud projecting voice, confident sounding, and funny. Our guide spoke real fast and mumbled parts of it. He wasn't very dramatic either, which is what you want in a tour guide to really bring things to life. I felt like I was listening to a college professor again. The first room is probably the most boringest room and video. It made me think, what did I just spend my money on, but it got a lot better. I think if we had a more engaging/dynamic tour guide this would have easily been a 5 star experience.

After spending a blissful afternoon at one of the bathhouses in Hot Springs, I wandered out in search of a little something sweet — and that’s when I stumbled upon this fun cupcake shop. I had no idea they were once featured on Cupcake Wars! That little tidbit made the visit feel even more like a hidden gem discovery. Inside, the shop is packed with personality. It’s not just about cupcakes — there are tons of fun t-shirts and quirky socks that practically beg tourists to take one (or a few) home. I’ll admit, I couldn’t resist. 🤦‍♀️ As for the cupcakes, they’re stored in these giant clear bins — a bit unusual. They really don’t focus on the cupcakes which is interesting considering that’s what “made” them (cupcake wars). They have a few sprinkled around some ledges. I picked out a lemon cupcake with lavender icing and a red velvet cupcake (though it wasn’t exactly red) topped with white chocolate icing and Oreos. The icings were very sweet and hardened quickly, giving the cupcakes a bit of a candy-like shell. Flavor-wise, they were pleasant but didn’t quite pack the punch I was hoping for — more sweet than standout. Overall, a bit disappointing. The price is high for what you get they’re small cupcakes (mine were lopsided about 1” thick and the other side MAYBE 1.5”)! Where I’m from you get JUMBO cupcakes that are moist and delicious for $3.50-4.50 each. I guess everything is bigger in TX (okay couldn’t resist that) 🤣🤣🤣 All in all, this is a fun little spot to check out if you’re exploring downtown Hot Springs. If you go in with the mindset of enjoying the playful atmosphere (and maybe a few novelty socks), you’ll have a great time. Just don’t expect the cupcakes to steal the entire show.

Grabbed a couple after hiking the nearby national park. We were hungry, so we each got a cupcake and an icing shot. The cupcake was okay. They keep them in these plastic storage bins, so the wrapper is soaked with the cupcake sugar- I thought this was kind of odd. Like put them in a display case or something. I got the banana pudding and hubs got the chocolate. The cake part of the cupcake was good, but the icing part had no taste, other than sugar. Hubs said similar about the chocolate, no taste, just sweet, so that was disappointing. I’m an icing nut, so I was really looking forward to the icing shot in particular. Oh well, maybe the next shop.

My wife and I stopped by Fat Bottom Girls while visiting Hot Springs for a quick getaway. We love trying new sweets, so we were excited to check it out — but honestly, we left pretty disappointed. We did the “buy 10, get 2 free” cupcake deal ($35 for a dozen), plus two ice creams. Our total was about $58, which already felt steep. The ice cream was the first letdown. We tried the Coffee Lovers and Animal Crackers flavors — both were almost flavorless. The cones alone cost $16, and there was barely any coffee taste, while the Animal Crackers just tasted like ice with no real flavor at all. We hoped the cupcakes would be better, but they tasted like something you’d buy at a grocery store. The cake itself was bland, and all the flavor came from the icing, which was so sweet it overpowered everything else. Honestly, the quality didn’t come close to matching the price. We wouldn’t go back or recommend it — there are much better options for sweets in town.

Absolutely amazing!! This cupcake was probably the best I have ever eaten. My family and I where stopping through Hot Springs, Arkansas, while on a road trip, and friends from all over the United States told us we had to stop at this cupcake store. I was not disappointed!! I ordered the lemon lavender cupcake and it was incredible! I was speechless! The flavors were so vivid and lush! I have had lemon lavender cupcakes before, and this one had more lavender flavor then any other I have had. I had no clue that this store was featured on Food Network, but that made my trip even better!! Ten out of ten for sure! :)

No girls trip to Hot Springs would be complete without a cupcake from Fat Bottomed Girls Cupcake shop. I had a vanilla cupcake with salted caramel topping, which was delicious! Although we each got different flavors, every one of my gal pals thoroughly enjoyed their cupcakes. *I see some reviews where people complain about the prices. I don't find $3.50 for a cupcake unreasonable. Most people pay more than that for a muffin or coffee at a national s-bucks without a thought. These taste so much better!!

Very cute shop. Lots of quirky shirts, towels, etc. to purchase. Lots with inappropriate sayings... cupcakes were good but pricey. We had the peanut butter cup and salted caramel oreo. Both are delicious. We purchased 3 cupcakes and 3 ice cream cones, and it was $37.

Very disappointed in this place. My husband and I just walked in 10 min ago to get some cupcakes while on our honeymoon. I have a gluten and nut allergy so before we ordered, I asked specifically if the gluten free cupcakes had nuts in them and the person working the counter said they did not have nuts in them. I ordered 2 of the gluten free cupcakes. After getting to the car, a few minutes later, I decided to google the ingredients just to make sure, because I was so amazed that they were able to make a gluten-free, nut-free, vegan cupcake. I found an older review saying the gluten free cupcakes had almond flower. So my husband called them less than 10 min after we left to ask. The person who answered the phone confirmed it was almond flour. My husband asked why they told us otherwise and the girls said, “that was probably this morning” and he told her it was literally 5 minutes ago. She just said, “I’m sorry” and didn’t offer to do anything to make up for it. Thankfully, I hadn’t eaten them yet but it was a waste of our money. I don’t care what TV shows a restaurant has been featured on. They need to properly train their staff and not lie to people with allergies. I could have gotten very sick.

My husband and I eat here every time we come to Hot Springs, no matter what! Delicious cheese sticks, wings, and pizza. Clean, laid back sports bar feel. Not over priced. Kind waitresses with southern charm. What more could you ask for?

Rocky's Corner in Hot Springs, Arkansas, is a long-standing local favorite, especially for those looking for a taste of Chicago-style Italian fare. It's renowned for its pizzas, with options ranging from traditional Chicago-style crusts to thinner versions, and specialties like the "TKO" (Italian sausage and pepperoni) and "Pizza Bianca." Beyond pizza, they offer a solid menu of homemade Italian sandwiches, including Italian beef and meatball, as well as classic pasta dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, and fettuccine alfredo. We selected the Chicago style with mushrooms. And we ordered fried ravioli as an appetizer. Both were fantastic! The atmosphere was buzzing and a little loud because it’s a popular spot. Portions are generous, and the overall vibe is welcoming to both locals and visitors. While opinions on the "authenticity" of their Chicago-style pizza might vary, it's widely considered a reliable and satisfying option for hearty Italian comfort food in Hot Springs. We loved it.

I'm not a local and tried Rocky's while on vacation. Delicious pizza! Best I've had in a long time! We had a salad, the chicken wings app, and 2 different pizzas. The Ultimate pizza had a crazy amount of toppings and the crust held up well to it. The crust is made in house and made all the difference.

We love Rockys and eat here every time we are in town. They have a great bar. The food is consistent and absolutely delicious. Best sandwiches and pizza. They have pastas and burgers as well. Get garlic on your fries for a whole new experience. Everything is fresh. The servers are always pleasant and efficient. Make sure you stop in at Rockys. You will be glad you did.

It's a sports bar vibe with great pizza, highly recommend the Chicago crust, it's definitely a thicker pizza crust. Toppings are great and pizza sizes are very generous!

We were in Hot Springs for a mini-vaca and found this place online. It was crazy packed and loud, but I attest that to loyal locals (which is a very good sign). Our waitress was genuine and friendly (another very good sign). My wife ordered pizza, although I don't recall which but, it was hot out the oven and outstanding. I ordered the sausage and peppers but, I was a bit surprised when the peppers were slabs of green bellpepper, I suspect cooked separately, and laying on top of the dish. Once I cut the peppers up and mixed them in, the dish was outstanding. Their red sauce is beautiful, thick, and in my top 10 of red sauce. The rigatoni was perfectly al dente. We had a wonderful time and plan on dining at Rocky's our next vaca to Hot Springs!

Great pizza, great service, and a great atmosphere! Several people recommended I eat here while in Hot Springs, and I'm very glad I listened! You should absolutely make a point of grabbing a pizza from Rocky's Corner if you're in the area.

I came in at 7:45 pm. on 6-28-2025. The store closes at 8 pm. The doors were locked. One of the girls came and unlocked the door with an attitude. She did not greet me at all. The staff was very unfriendly and obviously did not want me there. If they are going to lock the doors before closing time, they need to change their hours of operation. These young employees need to learn how to be courteous to customers. I asked the girl if I was bothering them. It was obvious I was bothering them because they wanted to go home early. I hope the owner or manager sees this post and solves the problem. I am very disappointed with this place.

The pizzas were ready in a very short time. But they weren't sloppy and they had plenty of toppings, FRESH toppings. The pizzas were absolutely delicious!

Always fast and on time. The service is always nice and answers questions if i have any. I've never had any issues from this place and have made multiple purchases.

The girl who answered the phone was ... Not really rude but just sounded really annoyed that I was interrupting whatever she was doing. I did very much enjoy the pizza though.

We have always had great service and the pizza always taste great.

Love these pizzas!! So many good toppings!! And I get to bake it at home!!

Service is great! Friendly, efficient, polite! Pizza made in front of you and sanitary. Smiles all the way around. Good people!

I really enjoyed coming to this place with my family. The waiter was courteous and talented playing his musical instruments while people waited for their pizza to arrive. He was also very knowledgeable about the different kinds of beer offered. We were sat by the entrance which seemed a bit cramped, especially across from the restroom. The food was really good. My kid called it his new favorite pizza place. Too bad we're from Texas and can't drive up for a slice or two. Overall, it was a nice experience with good food. We also got to keep the plastic cups the drinks came in as a souvenir.

Nice place to have pizza. The pizza, the crust and the flavor were great! We did a build your own with jalapenos, which were pickled. That just took the taste to next level for us. The server were kind and gracious, despite our kids making a mess. Only downer is that wait can be really long. But I guess if you want good pizza then you can wait :)

This place is fantastic! We had the Casey Jones, and the Cosmic Charlie pizzas, and a small cheesesticks. The flavors were amazing! The atmosphere is very groovy and laid back, and the service was excellent. It sets back off the main drag and is built up on the hillside. If you visit Hot Springs check this spot out. It has been our favorite restaurant here.

We were STARVING after no breakfast and 2 hours at Quapaw bathhouse and walked up and down the street and settled on this little, literal hole in the mountain pizza place called Grateful Head Pizza and Beer Garden. Considering it was HOT outside, we wanted to sit inside and thankfully they had a table open. They have 4 tables plus bar seating inside and a very charming outdoor patio cut right into the mountain. We had soda to drink and kept our cups. One of us had the small Psychedelic Pizza and one had the Tree Hugger and we ordered a small Cheese Styx. Our waiter, also the bar keep, was SO NICE!!! Just so polite and attentive and he was running all over doing all kinds of things. It was amazing. All the food looked amazing. The pizza was not at all greasy. Obviously cooked in a brick oven and SO TASTY! We highly recommend this awesome pizza shop one block off the main drag.

If you want great food with a wonderful atmosphere for a decent price, this is your place. The restaurant decor and food can hold their own, but Pirdy truly makes the experience. His historical and local knowledge is only surpassed by his ability to convey the history in a funny and interesting way. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar and listened to him completely enthralled given his upbeat demeanor and relatable personality. Truly a wonderful spot with great people, highly recommend.

Came in for a quick bite and found one beautiful and tasty pie. The ingredients were fresh and tasty but it could have stayed a bit longer in the oven. The staff were friendly and got a kick out when I asked “who did I get mad” and pointed at the writing on the cup. Fun place.

Best pizza in Hot Springs. Grate spot for Dead Heads. Very cool place. Outside is awesome. Gluten Free pizza crust was perfect.

Our server Kim was awesome, she was very helpful in making suggestions and guiding us through the menu choices. Thank you Kim for making our Dining experience awesome.

We had the Tuna appetizer and the Ribeye steak. The bread that was included was excellent and the steak was perfect. First time in a long time that I didn't need steak sauce. A four dollar drink tax was not expected, but the rest of the experience was very good.

Best place to eat a steak with good quality and great portion. And they always cook my steaks to perfection. This would be in my top five to grab a porterhouse. The mushroom soup is delicious as well, not that the other sides or options are not. It just packs a punch full of flavor that is memorable. The servers are hospitable and delightful. Why not just try it?

Omg the food was made to perfection!!! The Chef Matt did his thing. Jaylene, the bartender was AMAZING! The drinks were on point. And to end the evening, Sarah made the best banana bread topped with ice cream etc. Our first time here & I must say we were not disappointed at all. Staff was the best!

Visiting bones was quite a glorious experience. My wife and I went there for a Valentine's dinner even though it was a few days early. The staff made sure that everybody was safe and secure from all of the pandemic nonsense. The service was a phenomenal the ambiance beyond your imagination and the food OMG how wonderful I had the surf and turf my wife had just a good old steak with scalloped potatoes check out our pictures below

Sunday at 430 pm, no wait, not busy. The wine and long island were great. The salmon was very moist perfectly cooked. The tbone was perfectly cooked. The sides were great. The service was great.

This was my birthday dinner and it was exceptional. I had the Southern Fried Steak and it was the best gravy and Tender steak. Fried to prefection. Also had the lump crab mushrooms and a wedge salad with s perfection blend of balsamic and blue cheese dressing. Tori our Server was fantastic and the only reason, I dont give 5 stars is because the building still has Bones on it but the marque does have JB Chophouse. As a visitor, this was a little confusing, but the food and service was great!!

This is a nice park with some rides and a water park, unfortunately the day I visited there was a storm and the park closed early. However the rides I got to ride were fun, the staff was nice and the park was clean. One coaster, X was closed and they have another wooden coaster that is being worked on and not even on the map right now so hopefully that will be refurbished soon. So I got on 3 coasters which were good. They have some nice flat rides, and the water park looks nice.

We had a great time on our vacation when we visited Magic Springs. We did not have to wait long for rides in both the amusement park and the water park. I was definitely disappointed that only one roller coaster was working, though. Another annoyance was paying for a float for the water park. We did NOT pay for a float because we felt we spent far too much money as is here for many of the rides being out of order. We ended up not even needing to pay for floats because there were others we could get for free. Do not fall for that scam!

We did a Back to School trip for the kids. This park was perfect. Our kids wanted to stay in the kiddie area and the wave pool. It looked like there were big slides and some type of roller coaster that were operating. The crowd was perfect. It wasn't too packed, we went on a Wednesday. I cammn definitely see my family going back to visit this amusement/ water park.

First time at the park, went ahead and bought a season pass. Could not find any corn dogs but the food was great! I wish they had a cash option because everything except the indoor restaurant won't accept cash inside the park. Rides were super fun! On a slow day the lines aren't too long. Park was clean and there were plenty of staff members available to answer any questions I had and were nice and helpful. I saw that there was a ride or two closed, hopefully they fix it soon!

Several rides/slides were down and the X Coaster had the safety devices malfunctioning on it while people were riding it. Went to the bathroom as soon as we got there and they were out of soap and paper towels and we got there as soon as they opened. There were people smoking/vaping weed openly around kids. Tons of trash all over the park and most of the trash cans smelled very soured. Not a lot of places to sit in the shade. The kids had a blast though, overall the trip was not horrible but very evident the park has gone downhill some since last year and years before.

This a great little park. They have 5 roller coasters on site. One is an old fashioned wood coaster. Then they have 2 water coasters. Then there is the water park side. It has a lazy river, a huge splash pad with several slides and hoses to spray others and a big bucket that drops every 5 minutes or so. The best deal is a season pass. You get free parking. Instead of having to pay I think. $20 to park. Visit twice and you have covered the price of the season pass. You do need to be aware the the life guards are mostly students and when school goes back into session that some of the water rides will not be open for lack of life guards. They have in the past rotated the life guards to different areas to give guest a chance to still use all the water park. Over all not a bad park. It is not 6 flags, but we have been coming here for years and love it.

I went with my sister on 7/2/25 and we had an absolute blast. It wasn't busy, the place was clean and very well organized. We had such a fun time. Highly recommended and we'll be back as soon as we can.

Great view from the top, lots of history on display boards on the lower floor. Also a nice souvenir shop with a mix of gifts from shirts, sweatshirts, ornaments, magnets, shot, glasses, snacks, and so on. It is eight dollars to go to the top of the tower. And it is wheelchair accessible. To get to the tower, you will also take a pretty scenic drive. Enjoy the drive and watch for wildlife. We saw a doe and her two fawns.

This is such a beautiful scenic place. Very nice gift shop when you walk in. You can pay to take the elevator to the top (which I would definitely suggest) you won't be disappointed. The view is magnificent. The roads going in and coming out are gorgeous and lots of places to pull over and take pictures. I could go on and on about it but all I can say is if you are in Hot Springs don't pass it up. There's so much to do there and so many trails.

Tower provides a panoramic view of Hot Springs and beyond. Stop on the second level to incorporate the history of the Hot Springs and the bath houses. Take time to stop along the way before the tower to enjoy the views. The tower staff were very welcoming.

Beautiful place, all the hot springs are commercialised for hot baths for paid and reserved. Couldn’t see any natural hot springs in the National Park. Very beautiful trails with tree cover. The observation tower/Mountain tower was very beautiful for a Birds Eye view and great outlook points on the way. Nearby is a Marina where boating l, kayaking and water activities which can be a great cool off for the kids and family.

Extremely popular, but that also means very crowded. The views are one of a kind, and there's 2 levels at the top including one indoor that's kind of like a hot springs museum. The drive up to the tower is also very scenic and beautiful, but expect to be hurried by traffic behind you.

Great views from on high of the surrounding Hot Springs area. Also pretty good gift shop at the base entrance. There is an elevator to the top. Wheelchair accessible.

Really enjoyed visiting Hot Springs Mountain Tower. The views from the top were beautiful and totally worth it. The elevator ride up was quick, and there’s a small gift shop and some cool info displays. Great spot if you’re in the area — perfect for a short, scenic stop.

there is absolutely no set parking for the national park or visitor center and museum. just have to drive around and find a spot along the street or in one of the few pay for parking lots. i didn’t find the museum to be very interesting but it was well done and had a beautiful interior and exterior. bathhouse row was neat to walk by but couldn’t imagine myself spending more than the 30 minutes we did in the museum. it was free entry so if you’re in the area and looking for something to do it’s an cool place to stop but definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again.

If you're visiting from out of town, this is one of those places to check out. It offers some history and gives you an insight of how bathhouses ran. Admission was free as my family took a self guided tour. After finishing the tour we even got a nice presentation from park ranger James Byrd. He gave us information about the types of local birds and ended up by giving my kid an activity to work on. There weren't other people who attended his presentation (which was a bit sad), but my family took the opportunity to learn one on one. Overall it's something to check off when you're visiting the area.

My family and I enjoyed stepping back in time and experiencing this beautiful bathhouse in all its splendor. We found it interesting in learning more about the early beginnings of physical therapy and the fascination that many had with what the restorative springs could offer them. It kind of reminded me of the movie “The Road to Wellville.” Definitely needs to be on the bucket list of unique and obscure places to visit if you’re interested in medical oddities.

It doesn't cost. When you walk in. Don't be alarmed. It has security guards. They have cute little badges. Its okay. They are there to give you information. This is kinda weird. It is a visitor building. 3 floors of history for the bath house. Truly it seemed like this could've been a horror movie. It's clean,but knowing what it was and the diseases they had. I didn't touch anything. THE tile and stain glass work is truly amazing. There's abundance of history. They have an elevator or you can climb the steep stairs. On the second level is a trivia room and a movie that plays every 20 minutes about the history of the baths. Anyway its really neatand everyone should do it. I dont think kids should go. They like to touch everything. They wouldn't understand it.

A beautiful look back into the history in Hot Springs. Take some time to walk through the Fordyce Bathhouse whether you do your own self-guided tour, a phone guided tour they offer, or even a tour led by one of the Rangers. I loved all of the stained glass and preserved details of the bathhouse.

Amazing experience! Felt like being in a time warp. Great information and history made you feel like you were there 100 years ago. Will definitely visit again. Don't forget to go the the third floor to see the gymnasium!

Time Capsule! The Fordyce, one of the eight historic bathhouses on Bathhouse Row, is now a visitor center and museum of Hot Springs National Park. We took a self-guided tour of this four-story building, exploring different rooms and displays. The building has undergone substantial restoration to preserve its original appearance as a bathhouse, complete with marble flooring, stained-glass windows, a gymnasium, and numerous bathing rooms. We learnt the science underlying the thermal springs, the evolution of bathing practices in Hot Springs and different medical terminologies associated with this place. Our visit was deeply engaging and impressive.

We ate here Labor Day Weekend. I ate breakfast food ( served until 2pm ) my wife got the Gumbo. Both dishes were very good. For dessert we got homemade cobbler blackberry and pecan with a scoop of ice cream it was very good. Also their biscuits are homemade. I would gladly go again.

First of all, Rebecca was really a sweetie from beginning to end, absolutely great service!! Such a nice time visiting w her. I was a lil worried when we walked in as only 1 table in there but boy did the place fill up fast! Food was delicious from the cheesy hash browns w ham to the biscuits w sausage gravy. My husband makes the best but when we travel, he is always looking for biscuits and gravy, he’s never happy w it. SURPRISED—he loved granny’s sausage gravy and has been in the best mood all day w his craving getting beyond satisfied. Huge portions of hash browns cooked to w the perfect crispness to them. Alert: they are closing their downtown location and moving into Higden Ferry Cafe on higden ferry. So go there and ask for Rebecca for great service, happy attitude, to go along with the best breakfast in town!

Our server was awesome and the food was delicious. It is a peaceful place where you can enjoy a meal and relax.

What a surprise! Almost went to Sam's for a hot dog lunch and glad we didn't. We love privately owned little places and Granny's Kitchen turned out to be one of the best ever. This southern boy appreciates good country cooking. Definitely get the fried green tomatoes. Huge serving and as good as any I've ever had. Real tomatoes, hand breaded. Not the "open frozen bag and drop" kind. Our sides, greens, fried okra and black eyed peas were tasty too. Our liver and onions and hamburger steak and gravy were excellent and a good portion. Sweet tea! Brewed! Denise was our server and she was great. I hear the burgers and PoBoys are good to. Prices are fair for the strip. They do daily specials and breakfast specials too. I was just too full for desert.

This place is run by women and they are extremely great in all the services here! Yes there is a granny! They prepare your meal slower than most restaurants but oooh it is fabulous in all its taste!! Your wait is worth it!"They close at 4 and take the last order at 3:15, so hurry up and go, you won't be disappointed!!

What a great place. The food is fantastic, and the portions are surprisingly large for the price, making it a great value. We tried the tomatoe, basil, garlic soup, the chicken fried steak, Mac and cheese, okra, fries, biscuts, fried pies, etc. All were fantastic. If you are in the historic Hot Springs, go give this place a whirl. Do note that the service is very good, but since everything is fresh made it takes a few. Sit and relax while enjoying the company.

Skip the overrated pancake places and come down here to Granny's when you're downtown! Very reasonably priced breakfast with amazing biscuits! If we'd had the time we would have come more than once!

We stopped in to get a few sweet treats during our stay in Hot Springs. The place was packed, and there was only one employee to serve everyone. We felt so bad for him, but he remained friendly and took care of everyone as quickly as he could. Since we had ice cream elsewhere the day before, we opted for a slice of the salted caramel fudge, some peanut brittle, and a giant caramel covered apple. The apple was HUGE and very tasty as were the other items. We were surprised to see that there are locations in other parts of the country as well, including one that's not too far from our home. After our experience here, we'll have to try the one near us in the future.

The owner is awesome! Loved every treat I've tried from here, Seeing the boss working at 2am? That's some good dedication to the craft.

Some of the best fudge we’ve eaten! We got several different varieties and they were all delicious. I loved the atmosphere of an old timey candy store. It just added to the ambiance of walking around and checking out all of the shops. I can’t wait to go back. We still keep talking about this fudge!

Long long line. Only one person at counter. Good ice cream. Outdoor bench to sit and eat.

We decided to stop in for a sweet treat during our walk around Hot Springs. The waffle cones were so good! They definitely need more people working this location especially on a holiday weekend, the line got backed up pretty quickly. The employees were kind and working as fast as they could though.

Delicious!!! But those sweet little treats add up quickly in cost! We bought about 10 pieces of candy and about $8.50 per pound and a caramel apple ($7.95) and ended up spending about $25. The apple was huge and the chocolates are delicious. But it was certainly an expensive snack lol, but who doesn't splurge a little bit on vacation right? there were so many awesome looking candies. I probably would've spent $100 getting a little bit of everything I wanted so I stopped with a small sampling. The buckeyes look great, but they are $2.49 each and I just couldn't bring myself to pay that for a little ball of peanut butter dipped in chocolate. They had a variety of HUGE caramel apples: plain caramel, w peanuts, w/ pecans, and turtle style with pecans and chocolate drizzle. The apple was excellent, but I did learn. I prefer peanuts on my caramel apples instead of pecans, even though I generally love pecans in any way form or fashion. They also have a variety of popcorn and of course, ice cream :-). This is a fun shop with lots of sweet treats and goodies, but it's easy to spend a lot of money for a tiny bag of Yum!

Had taste for ice cream during my stay in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and someone told me to go to Kilwins Ice Cream. In addition to great ice cream, Kilwins has gourmet Carmel apples, all types of gourmet candy. What was so cool about them, they made their carmel apples and waffle cones and bowls right there in the store. You can see them making it right there in the window as you approach the store. The ice cream and carmel apples and turtle apples were so delicious that we visited this store 3 times. Two Thumbs Up for Kilwins Ice Cream!!!

In the cold weather, enjoying a special hot bowl of pho here is truly a happiness. Additionally, I ordered the grilled pork and shrimp vermicelli and crispy egg rolls - all flavors were very delicious. The space with warm tones, gentle lighting, and spacious seating areas is suitable for both groups of friends and families.

Highly recommend. Good amount of vegetarian and vegan options. I ordered Veg Pho and veg angel hair bowl and both of them hit home. Boba was great but was a little overpriced.

If I live here I will eat all things on the menu. Best pho I ever had! They used the Thai basil rather than regular basil, and even have taro fries!!!!!!! Definetely should try hot sake in cold weather!!! And the egg roll even have taro in it! We literally finished everything, and the staff said they had to go to Little Rock to get Asian grocery. A straight 5 stars!

Everything was perfect! Atmosphere, service, food, drinks. The outside and inside are such a vibe--as my kid would say. We're visiting from Texas and would come here everyday if we could! The server was great with helping to pick what to order, he also brought a cute cat bowl for my daughter to share my pho with me. My cherry blossom drink was delicious, perfectly mixed, strong enough but still tasty! The pho was AMAZING, I ate every last bite and wanted to pick the bowl up and drink the broth (but I didn't). Veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked, still a slight crunch even in the hot soup.

First timers and we can’t wait to come back. Jakob, our server, was so kind and personable. Crab rangoons were crispy and delicious. Shrimp spring rolls were so fresh. I ordered the vegetable Pho and added dumplings. It was some of the best pho i’ve ever had. The broth was so flavorful and it was packed full of all the fixings. My boyfriend got the lemongrass chicken stir fry and it was a hit. everything from the service to the food was amazing. not to mention the portion sizes were more than enough! we can’t wait to go back and try something different because we have a feeling everything on the menu is good!!

For all my Caucasian people this is the spot for you. Broth is sweet flavorful. Service is good. For my Vietnamese peeps stay far away from this place. The ingredients are sub par. Bean sprouts served to us were a few hours from being spoiled. The broth was way too sweet. Basil had a weird taste to it. Cleanliness of the tables was unacceptable.

This place is alright, not great. For a first timer it might seem amazing and authentic but it far from it. Having eaten pho across the US, the bowls were very small for 15.95 and 19.95 for a large pho which in HS, AR is expensive. Broth was okay. Not enough noodles or meat but then again no room for it. Lastly, the Siracha and hosein have to brought to you in little saucer amounts and not the bottle so that was frustrating. Overall okay.

Great place to take the family and enjoy the day. There's plenty to see and learn inside and outside the main building. My favorite thing to see was the famous Tesla coil. The digital dome theater was also fun. If you come in early enough during the week you can go through the exhibits without too many people. If you're from out of town I would recommend a visit here with the family.

My kid enjoyed it a lot and didn’t want to leave; he cried, "I don't wanna go home, I want to play more :)" Honestly, we also had a great time. Especially the Tesla Show was really awesome. I recommend not missing both shows; you might learn something new, I can promise :)

In town from Austin. We've got our own science / children's museums of course and the Mid-America Science Museum puts ours to shame. One of the best I've ever taken the kids to. Fantastic blend of interactive exhibits and outdoor areas. We opted to do the Tesla coil experience and it was well worth it; our 2- and 4-year olds weren't super engaged with the learning part but even they loved when the coil itself was turned on. If you're in Hot Springs with kids (even teenagers would enjoy it if they "have" to tag along with younger siblings), you really should try and make it.

Fantastic science museum with some really unique displays and interactions. With a major focus on caves, dinosaurs and electricity, we happily spent an entire afternoon here with all the exhibits - the highlight of the day was the Tesla coil show. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly very patient with science loving kiddos

there is plenty to do here for the whole family. even the 1-year-olds will appreciate the visit. me and my family have visited this little gym many times and every time there is something new. there's activities to do inside outside wheelchair accessible, Hands-On activities, water activities, even a show if you don't want to touch anything. if you've never been and you have children, it's a must do. of course you're supposed to take them with you, but if you choose not to and your inner child is calling, it's a fun place.

This was a major hit with our little family. Our son is 3 and he could've stayed there all day. We spent four hours there as it was haha. We went to the digital dome show, and we also saw the Tesla coil show, both were very interesting and full of information. Zane led the Tesla coil exhibit while we were there, and he was very knowledgeable. There are so many different interactive exhibits to check out both inside and outside. If you have a little one that loves dinosaurs, do not miss out on this!

I have visited a few times. I personally think this museum is better than the discovery museum in Little Rock and is worth the drive. There are plenty of hands on experiences and activities for people of all ages. These activities often have an explanation nearby to explain what is being shown or how to do the activity. They have live performances like the presentation on the tesla coil. The Tesla coil performance offers ear protection for visitors who are more sensitive to loud noises. There were employees spread out encouraging people to interact with the activities and explaining how/what the goal is. Felt friendly and inviting.

A few weekends ago I took 2 of my grandsons to play mini golf. They also did the bumper boats. They had so much fun till one of them bumped their head. The man i talked to at the counter offered my grandson a bag of ice for his bump and even offered to refund us 3 extra tokens we had since we were having to leave. The whole place was clean and the staff was very nice. We will definitely be back with my other 3 grandchildren from Texarkana to have some fun.

Had an awesome time! Games all work, super clean! Go karts are fast and the staff friendly! Cold icees and hot soft pretzels— we will be back! Was with my mom and 4 year old.

Nice little gaming arcade to spend few hours with family . They have go carts which are fun. You can ride the go-cart 2 seater with kids. Boat smash is also fun activity for kids.

We got there right at opening and were basically the only ones there. The guy who helped us choose what wristbands/tickets to choose was super friendly and helpful. The other staff were just younger high school kids who weren't excited to be there and it showed. We spent about $150 and both my kids did everything once and we had 10 tickets to split between us four adults. They had a good time!

Took the kids to here . We had blast . Just needed a day of being a kid to with them loves it had a blast

Great family fun. Mini golf , go karts , laser tag and the bumper boats are reasonably priced. However, the arcade is WAY over priced. The games are about 3 dollars and up. Pre play. Good portion of them are 5 dollars. So if you get a 40 card, (they gave you 10 dollars) but that doesn't matter when its 5 a piece. So that goes by rather fast. Stick with the attractions.

Found exactly what I needed. The guy was very helpful. I did have to order speakers and will get them Saturday but he helped me pick the right speakers for my new Technics turntable that I got there as well.

GORGEOUS patio space dripping with atmosphere. My lovely server was attentive and engaging. The pizza was good (trust me, 4 stars for pizza is high from me), but the sausage was the standout! Per my server, I ordered the fungi with sausage. The mushrooms seemed to be canned, which was a bit of a disappointment. If I am incorrect, I apologize.

Went on around 3pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately. We tried the pepperoni chips and ordered the Wide Load Pizza. The pepperoni chips were good a little brittle and hard to get the sauce in but still a good try. When the pizza came out we saw why they call it the wide load… full of toppings and you kinda need to hold it with both hands when eating. Overall our early dinner was great! Would go back again!

I always love discovering places that have a unique vibe, and this spot definitely fits the bill! From the moment I walked in, I was taken by how original and creatively decorated it was. The entire atmosphere has a fun, quirky charm thanks to the items left behind at a radio station, which makes for a really interesting and nostalgic setting. It’s clear that a lot of thought and personality went into the decor. I especially loved the way they integrated musical instruments into the lighting design—using drums, pianos, and other instruments as part of the decor made the space feel alive and full of character. It’s a place that sparks the imagination and makes you want to explore all the little details. Now, let’s talk about the pizza—top notch! Crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. Perfectly baked and really satisfying. That was definitely a highlight of our visit. However, I do want to mention a bit about the beer. We ordered a brew that was at the end of the barrel, and tasted a bit like soap, which can happen. The bartender was fantastic and quickly offered us a few of their specialty drinks, which were absolutely wonderful. She clearly wanted us to have a good experience, and her friendly attitude was appreciated. That said, I did notice that she continued to serve the questionable beer to other customers. I could overhear some quiet conversations between her and the manager about it, and it felt a little awkward. Hopefully, they’ll get it sorted out. They brew everything in house and these things happen with smaller breweries. I would prefer to be told they are out of a certain flavor if it isn't tasting correct. All in all, this place is definitely worth a visit for the cool decor and delicious pizza. The friendly staff made our visit pleasant, despite the beer hiccup. I’d love to go back and try more of their specialties — and maybe just avoid the barrel beer next time! It’s a place with great potential and a truly creative atmosphere that stands out.

They have KAVA DRINKS! I'm visiting Arkansas with my gf who is from Mena. Im from Tampa which has more kava bars then regular bars at this point and they have kava drinks here!! So funny we stumbled in here and they have a kava menu! Im so excited. This place is such a vibe! 5 star from a kava connoisseur, from the meca of kava bars! Love the back patio! I'm sooo excited we found this! Much love from a Florida kid!

This local pizza place takes pride in its quirky atmosphere. The staff members were polite and attentive. The bathroom I visited was clean. Unfortunately, the gluten-free pizza proved disappointing. The crust was thin and the pizza was slightly overcooked, resulting in burned edges. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for patrons who need to eat gluten-free.

Wow, ordered a “Med” and had delivered to my table the best pizza I have had in years! The culinary balance on top was Michelin review worthy! Usually tourist spots are offering tourist trap prices for basic boring food. This is not that. A true foodies hideout hiding just off the tourist strip. I was equally impressed with their notably freshly brewed Belgian and Stout - both also Michelin quality drinking experiences. So I guess they deserve five stars as a pizza shop - and five stars for their brewery….doesnt fit in a google review. Oh, and our server apologized for it taking so long because the first run of the pizzas came out “too crispy” so even on a Tuesday night 10minutes to close they are trained and conscientious enough to serve perfect pizzas.

Amazing pizza place! Everything we ordered was spot on and our waitress Jada was super nice. Best pizza in town in my opinion!

My vegetarian/vegan friends, Kollective is not to be missed! The food is spectacular--with many and varied vegan options. The space is quiet and begs you to settle in for the afternoon! The staff is friendly, queer-quirky and enthusiastic. We so enjoyed our visits to Kollective!

We’re vacationing in Hot Springs and stopped in at Kollective Coffee + Tea after a hike—what a great find! The fall coffees were excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff provided great service and made us feel right at home. With the weather getting colder, it’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town!

Visiting Hot Springs for the first time and looked up coffee/tea shops in the area and this is the most recommended. Went in on a Sunday at 11 am and they were busy! Great food options, very vegetarian and vegan friendly. I ordered an Egg Florence and it seriously was one of my favorite things I've eaten in Hot Springs! The breakfast is better than Pancake Shop, which is a very popular breakfast place just down the street, but I think Kollective's food is much more delicious. Also ordered Halo and Jasmine Lily Tower bloom teas-- both were also fabulous! Only complaint would be the menu size on the tvs-- font is tiny and very difficult to read, and the seating wasn't great. But overall, great staff, food and drinks!

Best coffee in Hot Springs. My husband is a vegetarian and I am not. After stopping every morning for coffee, we finally tried the food on the last day of our trip. Wish we did it sooner, because it was fantastic. We both enjoyed it very much.

We ordered a Raspberry Rose Latte, a Mexican-Style Mocha Latte, and a warmed blueberry scone. The flavors were unique and delicious, and nothing disappointed.

Huevos Ranchero and The T.A.L.T aka vegan blt with chips are good with latte and mocha. Very good place for vegans and vegetarians. They have egg dishes as well. We checked the hours of operation, before we planned for our brunch.

Love this place! I've only tried a few of the coffees but out of the ones I've tried; I loved the Maple Latte!

If you are a tourist visiting.... just get the waffles. High prices for a subpar breakfast. $10.50 for a very small plain breakfast burrito was highly disappointing. Also, maybe skip ordering something with shrimp. The service was the best part of the experience. My coffee cup never went empty, and our server was nice. I don't usually give low star ratings, but for a place on the strip, it was a lot underwhelming.

Why this was our first time visiting here, I don't know. It definitely won't be the last. The food was delicious, the staff was pleasant. They gave us a beeper while we waited for a table so we went to the Kringle's shop next door. Waited about 15m. Parking isn't the best but worth the hassle.

This place has been in business since the '40s and the location is very small. So if you go on the weekends, good luck getting a table. If you're visiting downtown and want to go to it, I would suggest going on a weekday, but after the morning rush. We split one of their combo meals and do have to admit that it was quite tasty. Excellent ham and bacon and the gravy was just like Mom makes. However, it wasn't as great as some other places we had during the week. I feel like it's overpriced for what you're actually getting but you're buying into the history. Interior is definitely dated but that's part of the kisvh....

Our waitress was nice. Considering how long it took to get our food, I kind of expected my eggs would have been cooked. I would have also expected that they would have had a BATHROOM. They did not. I was advised to walk three doors down to a sparsely stocked candy store, stroll to the back of the store and use their bathroom. What kind of restaurant doesn’t have a bathroom??

Overall: This place was nice and affordable, but it wasn't special to me. I can see people extremely loving this place, but out of all the stops we went to during our visit, this just was our least favorite. Again, I think you should try for yourselves, because I can see people loving this place. But I do not believe we'll return again. Food: Good portions, and decent taste. Just wasn't anything worth writing home about. My girlfriend didn't like her French toast so that also was the bummer for her based on the other place down the street whose French toast she absolutely adored. My food was decent and I ate the full thing. Staff: Absolutely the sweetest thing in the world. This review hopefully does not reflect on them negatively at all. They were super sweet, super nice, had great suggestions and was knowledgeable of the menu. You can tell they love what they do. Military discount: Yes. I think roughly 10%.

Best waffle I’ve ever eaten!!! That’s a big statement for me because I am a waffle snob!! lol My breakfast was amazing! The eggs and bacon were made perfectly! You can tell that they are high quality items by the taste! My husband had corn beef hash and he said it was delicious. He was hooked on the rye bread!! He would give his breakfast a 5 stars as well!!! Our waitress Alicia was a very sweet waitress who was engaging and a really nice person to talk to! Thank you Alicia for your amazing service!! My husband and I would highly recommend this place even if there is a wait!!! You won’t regret it!!!

The food was fine and I don’t eat a lot, so I don’t need large portions. The service is just so…weird. I think the hostess and the blank stare server must be related. They have no discernible interest or personality in service, which is fine; I’ve waited breakfast tables and I’ll always tip even if you don’t smile or offer ketchup or hot sauce. But awkward is awkward and it doesn’t make me want to come back. It’s very popular and I’m sure they turn away a lot of tables with no consequence. I thought Daphne at the English Muffin was the best breakfast waitress I’d had in a long time so that’s where I’ll breakfast in Hot Springs if I go back there.

Stopped in for a light supper before going to an event later. We both got the soup and taco combo. We both chose the Aztec soup. It said spicy broth but it wasn't spicy so much as just flavorful. There was a lot of chicken! The veggies were crisp. The taco was a soft taco and we could choose between chicken or steak. Not a lot of meat but again there were crispy veggies. The cocktails looked good but we had to pass, sadly. Will definitely get one next time .

First time going to Colorado Grill. We both love Tex Mex and enjoyed our meal with excellent service. The restaurant is big and very clean. However we had a hard time finding it and drove around the block twice, but now we know. I would have given it 5 stars, but I thought it was crazy to charge an extra .99 for the few chopped onions on my enchiladas.

I got the small Denver nachos with no sour cream, and the Italian Rita. I absolutely loved the experience here, probably because I came on a Thursday at 2 pm, but still. The Denver nachos filled me up and were delicious! I even had a little left over, however if your extremely I would go for the large. The presentation for the nachos was unexpected but was still exceptional in placement. If you think you can order one margarita and be fine to drive afterward, this place is not for you. Their margarita was STRONG but i absolutely loved it and finished it. After the margarita I felt more than a buzz so I would keep that I mind. The salsa is not too spicy but not too mild, it was so good I had to stop eating to make room for my meal. My waitress was exceptional as well. Sometimes you can feel as though a waitress is trying to rush you out, but not mine. Her name was started with D, but I can’t quite remember. But overall, I will be coming back!

I ordered the three amigos! Delicious and fresh! Everything was on point! Forgot my servers name, but she was so good! Highly recommended 👌

Fast service, awesome food! I get a smothered chicken burrito in every Mexican restaurant I go to, so comparison is easy. This was definitely near the top. Also, each individual receives their own bowl of salsa with the chips that come out pre-meal.

The restaurant was nice on the inside. I wasn’t a big fan of their salsa but the food was pretty amazing. I ordered the Bronco Burrito and really liked it. The service was pretty good and we had a minimal wait for food for a table of 8 people. There was no wait to get in the restaurant. Definitely worth stopping by in you’re in the downtown area and want to eat off the main strip!

We took a stroll while waiting to be seated at the Best Cafe down the road. We stumbled across the Colorado Grill in the process. We made it a point to go back for dinner! Such a spacious restaurant, great staff and even better food! Pictured is the Devils Shrimp! YUM! Try the Avocado-Tomatillio Salsa and regular Salsa! They are spicy and delicious!!

Don’t let the parking lot fool you. The inside is huge. I was glad that we checked to see if there was a wait time bc there wasn’t! Great job on the Reno, friendly hostess, got right in at 6:00 pm on a Saturday. Brandi was our server and she was great! She did a really good job on checking in with us while we were waiting on our food. Very bubbly, upbeat personality !

They recently remodeled. Wow. It looks fantastic, the patio is set back from the water a bit but still on Lake Hamilton. The oyster's on the half shell are choice. We ordered the grilled garlic ones, they were excellent, but only ordered a half dozen. For the price ummmmm but still yummy. Had the Cajun Boil w crab legs, shrimp and crab claws. So freaking good. Drinks are excellent. Hold off on the Bloody Mary, could have been better but overall loved it. 2 orders of oysters and the seafood and drinks ran close to 200 but it was expected. Our waitress was really on top of everything despite having us as a table away from what she had going on inside. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The newly remodeled Cajun Boiler is beautiful! It has a warm, calm decor that reminds me of old New Orleans. They were playing blues in the background which was nice. It has a great “feel” to it and looks out over Lake Hamilton. I had the half order of thin cat with super good side salad(cold fresh and crisp) not a speck of brown lettuce! The catfish was seasoned perfectly and my baked potato was perfectly cooked. They have live music occasionally out back on the lawn! Definitely worth a visit in Hot Springs!!! I was hungry and forgot to take photos when my meal arrived!

We had an amazing experience today at Cajun Boilers! Our server, Kyle was attentive and so nice! He did amazing! The food and atmosphere was spot on! This Louisiana girl approves!!

All around one of the best experiences we have had in a restaurant in a very long time. Staff was friendly and attentive. The owners even came by and checked on us to make sure the food and service was up to par. Everything down to peanut butter pie was perfect! If you get the chance please visit and support this family owned and operated business!!

We have ate here several times in the past and loved it! However, that has changed. Now Cajun Boilers has new owners, and I will say I love what they did with the place, but the food was a huge disappointment! No flavor, mine was cold, my husband's crawfish had way too many straight tails that couldn't be eaten. Probably won't be back.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I am so happy we found this place. We had been craving a seafood boil.

Ordered my food inside and waited a long time , my food set for 10 minutes after it was ready. No one called my name or number . I was told it was because I didn’t say anything . She was a manager. Typically they will call your number when your meal is ready. Apparently in AR service is non existent. Not like I was asking for much . Just tell me my order is ready but they’re too busy gabbing and gossiping instead of making sure their customers inside are taken care of by simply letting them know their order is ready. Check your cameras and you will see they are not working neither helped me. Visited at 04/23/25 at 2:15pm-2:35 pm. Togo order . Half fries , burger was well put together . So whomever is doing the sandwiches is doing their job. Management needs replaced and fries a junk!

Ordered my food. Got pulled up to wait. They forgot about me. I went inside, they found my food. Decided to give me new fries since they had gotten cold. They asked me twice what my drink was and they confirmed with me that I wanted Coke. I had to go back to work after waiting that long and my food was still cold and the drink was a Dr Pepper. Go to Cooper St McDonald’s it’s much better.

I usually never have a problem with this location until recently. The iced coffee for the price is pretty good. Until one day my nephew said something is not right with the coffee he gave me a taste and I said that's burnt not long after that he got pretty sick. I said you should call and let them know. The next morning I got my usual and it was burnt as well. When I called and spoke with the assistant manager and told her about mine and my nephews experience she agreed to replace our coffees and apologized. About a month later I got my usual and my nephew went to pick it up through the drive through and the cashier said pick up or we dont like to fill her orders. Now ive contemplating calling corporate but instead. I thought I should just post on here. I've not been back to this location as who knows what would be done to my coffee.

This is the McDonald’s closest to my house so we go semi-frequently. Besides a select few everyone who works here is rude. I go out of my way to be extra polite to fast food workers and try to thank them and just be as nice as I can. Every. Single. Time. I am met with some rude attitude. I told a man thank you THREE times when he was giving me my drink and bag, all I got in return was a glare. Not sure what their deal is but it’s pretty frustrating considering 75% of the time when I get home my food order is wrong or flat out missing items. Tonight I got McNuggets for a kid. I ordered on the app and selected sweet and sour with the happy meal. I also added an extra sweet and sour, so paid extra for it. At the window I asked the lady if the sweet and sour packets were in the happy meals. She rolled her eyes and said “here I’ll just get you one”. Well, good thing I asked because lo and behold, not a single packet in there besides the one I specifically asked for AND I’m missing two of the 4 cheese burgers I ordered. So now I’ve paid for two burgers and a packet of sauce that I didn’t receive. Usually I’m not this petty but honestly if you’re going to have a crappy attitude the least you can do is the bare minimum of ensuring all of my food was in the bag. So I’m met with attitude because I asked to ensure I had my items that I paid for and guess what.. I don’t. This place seriously needs new management and a new staff who are actually happy to have a job. I understand it isn’t the best job and people are jerks but I have never been nasty to them even though they have screwed me out of food, aka my hard earned money, on multiple occasions but if I dare speak up or call them, I’ll be labeled a Karen. Cheap food or not, doesn’t matter. It’s still my money!

I came through before closing time and I was told at the pick up window the tea was out but the guy who I'm assuming is a manager (based off the shirt he was wearing) named Taylor was super nice apologized for the inconvenience and gave me a large chocolate shake besides getting the delicious shake his customer service was excellent, he had a smile the whole time while he was handing everything out of the window, he was super nice and very polite.

Very very disappointed in the customer service. But mainly disappointed that my mcchicken sandwich was ice cold in the middle but hot on the outside. ( which they must've cooked the chicken on high in order for this to happen ) I understand when the store gets busy and yall have a rush, BUT DO NOT undercook the guest food so you can get the drive through line out of the way!! My family and I could've got sick. I called the store and they had no interest on the feedback that I gave about the undercooked food. And wouldn't replace the food for us. WHAT A SHAME!!!

The food is pretty good, but they usually mess up the order. Also had to wait a bit for food and cashier.😐 Pretty good overall though.

We camped here for nine days and really enjoyed our stay. We were a little bummed out to be in loop A which was up the hill a little from the lake. However, it was much quieter, larger sites with better spacing and still very convenient access to everything with a short walk. Lots of trails, boat rental and plenty of activities for the kids.

Very quiet well maintained state park. No fee to get in. I was camping but they have a swim area with nice clean changing rooms and a small marina with rentals. I had a water view tent spot. Electric and water included. As a note the power station complex across the bay in full view. Also at night lots of dog barking across the bay as well. ( No fault of the parks). Took about 30 minutes to the National park.

Gorgeous lake and super nice campground! We were lucky enough to get Site 58, right on the water and it may very well be the best site in the campground. Each site has a nice long level paved pad, a picnic table on a paved pad, a stationary lantern hook, a graveled tent pad, water, sewer, electric and a fire ring you can cook on and a Charcoal grill. Each section (A, B and C) have their own restrooms with two clean showers and two bathroom stalls for each sex. There are several hiking trails directly from the campground and you can fish for trout snd Bluegill from your camp site. It's only a 20 minute drive to Hot Springs National Park. We're staying two nights and we're already wishing we would have booked more, as it's already filled with no availability for longer.

I did not realize this place had housed German POWs. The story of how well they were treated and that the POW actually brought his wife to see lake Catherine after the war made me happy. The fireplace is still there and beautiful. The view from behind the visitor center is gorgeous. From the campground there is the ugly factory across the lake which isn't my favorite. The trail was awsome. There wasn't much water in the waterfall this time of year but the view was great. The trail was fun and perfect for a beginner.

Went here late October. The falls weren't really going much but still pretty. This has to be the prettiest park I've been to yet! With the leaves changing the trails were awesome to explore.

Absolutely in love with this place. We hiked to the waterfall, Camped two days in the walk in primitive tent site where Fire pits, grill and picnic tables are set up. Public bathrooms and bath houses are available. They have horse back riding and kayak rentals. Family friendly. It was just me and my 9 & 11 yr old with our dog. We went swimming every evening. We will definitely be returning. Just make sure you lock everything up at night, the raccoons love eating your snacks.

Peaceful and Beautiful Nature Trail I really enjoyed this peaceful 2-mile hike! The trail was well-maintained and easy to follow, making it perfect for a relaxing walk through nature. The sound of the birds and the gentle breeze made it such a calming experience. The highlight was definitely the beautiful waterfall — absolutely worth the walk. Everyone I met along the trail was very friendly, which made the whole visit even better. I highly recommend this trail if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape.

Anthony Chapel – Hot Springs, Arkansas Visiting Anthony Chapel was an absolutely magical experience. It’s truly a breathtaking work of art nestled in the natural beauty of Hot Springs. The architecture is stunning — the way the glass and wood blend seamlessly with the forest around it is something that mesmerizes you from the moment you walk in. It’s so peaceful and serene, I honestly felt like I could have sat there forever. Whether you're spiritual or simply someone who appreciates design and nature, this place will move you. I can’t wait to return again in the fall, when the leaves change — I can only imagine how beautiful it will be with all those colors surrounding the chapel. If you’re ever near Hot Springs, this is a must-see. Photos don’t do it justice — it’s something you have to feel in person.

We visited Anthony Chapel about a month ago on the last leg of a road trip we deemed The Arkansas Chapel Tour, where we visited all three of the big glass chapels (including Thorncrown, and the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel). Of the three, we actually voted Anthony Chapel in 3rd place. Don’t get me wrong - they are ALL amazing structures, each with their own unique style. For us, Anthony was the least accessible for those with mobility issues (gravel path, not close to parking, slight incline returning), and it was the one with the most activity, so the least peaceful visit. We loved the free roaming peacocks - they were fun to watch! We also loved the ceiling structure of this chapel. It was very interesting. We didn’t find any brochures here that gave info about the chapel as the other two had - details about the building, architects, how it came to be, etc. Maybe they were out of brochures when we visited, but all we found was a bridal booklet with info about weddings in the area. That would be a nice addition. Definitely go visit - and visit the other two as well!!

Anthony Chapel is a breathtaking gem nestled in the woods at Garvan Woodland Gardens. With its soaring glass-and-wood architecture, it feels like stepping into a cathedral of nature—sunlight dances off lofty beams, and forest vistas surround you. Exceptionally peaceful and visually stunning, it’s free to visit (unless a private event is underway) and offers an unforgettable, serene escape. A must-see if you’re in Hot Springs.

It’s a gorgeous little walk around. Be aware that it a wedding is going on, you can’t get near. Security will be there. The gardens are $30 per person which might be worth it to some and not to others. Plenty of parking in the area though. It is definitely somewhere to go visit when you are in the area, especially if you are artistic.

Absolutely stunning. Tucked into the woods, Anthony Chapel is peaceful, elegant, and breathtaking in person. The architecture and natural surroundings make it a perfect stop whether you're visiting for a wedding, photos, or just a moment of quiet reflection. A must-see if you're anywhere near Hot Springs — it's truly magical. Follow more hidden gems and scenic stops: @diamond.in.the.rough.78 🌲⛪✨

Amazing architecture! I wish we could have some of these in TX as well. Tip: it is actually free to go here and appreciate the view but check their availability since this is usually booked for private events, you can always visit the Garvan woodlands garden for a fee in case you’re not lucky

Beautiful chapel within the Garvan Woodland Gardens. Amazing architecture and setting. We were confused about entering the chapel. We had read reviews that it was free to enter however we observed security questioning people exiting the chapel area on whether they had purchased tickets to the garden. We did purchase tickets and were glad we did because the gardens were also beautiful.
