Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

Additionally, I've been to Greece and am quite familiar with authentic Greek cuisine. Now with all this in mind my wife and I had lunch at GOAT today with about 12 of our friends. It was my wife and I's first time here and some in our group had been there at least once. I ordered the gyro (lamb & beef) with pita bread and for $2.00 more added fries. The gyro was massive and oozed with an extremely generous portion of protein and veggies. My first bite honestly woke my taste buds ! It immediately brought back memories of my time in Greece. The fries were done to perfection - crispy on the outside and were perfect. The only thing missing was a view of the Mediterranean. My wife had their Greek salad and while she enjoyed it she said it ranked 3rd best in her top 3 salads, behind her own and one other place. If the Greek salad ranked higher for my wife I would have given 5 stars but I decided that awarding 4 stars would still be a good score but also consider her personal taste. The place is really nice inside. Great atmosphere, a lot bigger than I expected as I saw it from outside. Great decor and staff. Beautiful bar area with a huge list of adult beverages. The staff was very helpful eager to help in anyway. I honest recommend this place. We will be back again, for sure. https://the-goat-4.wheree.com/menu

Such a unique restaurant here in Hot Springs. Only brewery in a U.S. National Park. Only Brewery in…read morethe world that uses the thermal spring water. The restaurant itself is located in a historic brewhouse. With all of that being said... you can certainly expect a wait, especially during peak hours. For our party of three at about 11 on a weekday during the middle of spring break, it was about an hour wait. Thankfully, it wasn't too big of a problem. We still had some parts of Bathhouse Row that we had to explore. When there was a spot available, we got the notification through text. We headed on over. We were seated at a table right behind the host. It was shared with another pair but there was enough room so it wasn't too much of a problem. Usually, we don't drink. However, because of the uniqueness of this place, we just had to try. We aren't built for the Beer Bath that allows you to sample all 18 beers on tap. Instead, we opted for the flight which was more than enough for us. I'll be honest... I can't tell the difference at all between the different beers. Nevertheless, that speaks more to my inexperienced beer palate. The four taps that we got were all tasty and lasted us through the meal. For starter, we got the fried cauliflower. Crispy exterior that made our daily veggie intake that much more delicious. Paired very well with ranch. For main, I got Rose's Burger. The bacon jam provided a good amount of sweetness that was balanced by some of the spice from the pepperjack cheese and the savoriness of the burger itself. My mom got the reuben sandwhich. It was standard. My dad got the steak sandwich - it's basically a philly cheese. I thought it was particularly good especially since they use beer cheese made in-house. In terms of serivce, I will say that it was slow at times. However, as mentioned, this place is incredibly busy so definitely gotta give them some grace. In the future, I'd definitely come back again given the quality and uniqueness of Superior Bathhouse

We were a party of 2 that happened to arrive the same time as a party of 8-10 around 8pm. It was dark and our table wasn't really set up for service: there was no night lamp on the table to read the menu and it took forever to get napkins and silverware. We ordered hamburgers, fries and beer. Food was meh. Fries were cold and burger was mediocre at best. We still left a significant tip bc we truly talking w/our server, a Hot Springs local, who ultimately made our experience pleasant. It's nice to sit outside on the patio if the weather is nice. Indoors is loud.

It's a cozy dining room with a small bar (seats about 4.) Not a huge place so reservations are recommended. Staff were super friendly. I didn't feel out of place in my sweatshirt and jeans but will probably wear something other than a sweatshirt for dinner. It was super cold outside. When you walk into the bathhouse, you can't see the restaurant. Someone at the front desk takes you back to it. The gentleman that took us back was very welcoming. He walked us to our table and gave us information about the menu. If you walk into and no one is at the desk, it's because it takes a moment for them to walk guests back. Be patient. We both had the Vintage Breakfast and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the Morningrita wish was really good. I had their Classic Bloody Mary. Their mix is made in-house and is great. Oh and they have a Mimosa Flight!!! It's a bottle of champagne and your choice of 3 different juices. We tried mango, pineapple, and strawberry kiwi. All were spectacular. We will definitely be going back to try their lunch and dinner menus.

For example, another restaurant, in Houston no less, offered a house made tortellini dish with TRUFFLES for $32. Maybe I should've considered my options a bit more but the reviews and recommendations set high expectations. The ambience / vibe felt poorly executed. Seems like they use the side room for storage. During our visit the door was left open, and it was obvious employees were going in and out to watch the basketball game. The one positive was the drinks.

Come with an empty stomach if you get the pork chop. It is a very generous portion and is delicious! The grouper was perfection...crispy on the outside, light and flakey inside, sitting atop beautiful spring vegetables and a lovely light beurre blanc sauce. It was topped with edible flowers and micro greens. I regret that I did not take a photo (we were so hungry), but it was just divine. The chef came over to ask what we thought and we told him everything was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely. We can't say enough good things. This is what a restaurant experience on vacation should be like. What a gem! Hopefully next time we visit we can try the dessert menu!

We happened to stumble upon this gem randomly during our trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas not expecting much but wow were we absolutely blown away. First, you walk into a dimly lit, intimate dining area and seated at a table with very comfy chairs and menus that light up for visibility. Next, your waiter is SO knowledgeable about every item on the menu. I had history lessons about the rice production in the area while learning about which dishes to choose. While waiting for your food, you are served an edgy orange-glazed dinner roll that is simultaneously intriguing and comfortingly familiar. A delicious twist on a classic. The head chef also came around serving an amuse-bouche of another experimental apple dish which was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. Food comes- oh my goodness I cannot explain how amazing the Chislic beef tips were. Every component of this dish was just so thoughtfully crafted and well-blended. Each bite was bursting with flavor and energy. My partner also loved the potato soup. Our mains were equally impressive- my fennel rice in particular knocked my socks off. I have never tasted rice so decadent and aromatic in my life. The salmon was of course great but certainly not the star of the show. Finally, the bread pudding at the end was the cherry on top of the culinary bliss we had just experienced. I would drive 10 hours back to Hot Springs just for this restaurant. So sad it has to be so far. Do not miss your opportunity to come here if you happen to be in town!!

I had another wonderful experience at Lost Creek Grill on Airport Rd.

And I have to say, the fried mushrooms were hands down the best I've ever had! Lost Creek Grill continues to deliver excellent food and service, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

It was fairly quiet, so our server was quick and attentive. The overall vibe is country-ish with country music in the background, a smallish dining area, and a bar. You'll be served a warm loaf of bread that is really delicious. There is a dedicated menu as well as chef specials. My husband chose the hickory smoked ribeye with mac and cheese, I opted for the wagyu filet. (What the sign didn't say was it was only 4oz, so keep that in mind if you're feeling hungry!) My husbands meal was cooked to perfection, my filet was more well than medium, but was still juicy and tender. Both had lots of flavor and were delicious. Thankfully I was not super hungry, so if I were to return I may opt for something with more meat for less money. I would def give this place a try.

The hype is worth it! And if you get Vernon as your server even better!…read more We stopped by on Saturday night, but too hungry to survive the 2hr wait. The hostess was very helpful (I missed getting her name), but she advised reserving a dough for Sunday. If you don't know about Deluca's Pizza they only make so much fresh dough each day and when it's gone - it's gone. Additionally, if you know your pizzas this is Brooklyn Style. The dough is stretched thin and hand-tossed, creating air pockets contributing to its light and airy texture. This crust is cooked in coal or wood-fired ovens at high temperatures, resulting in a perfectly charred exterior and a chewy, flavorful bite. Knowing this is important when looking at the reviews. Back to our experience. We came back for lunch on Sunday and as she said it would be - there was a sizable line behind they opened and we all got seated. She also said that Sunday is a good time to come and I agree - not so crazy busy! With Vernon's agreement, we had half with The Renzi (red sauce) and the other Jamesy (white sauce) and added Prosciutto on the other half. I also had a Peach Bellini. My husband prefers red sauce and I prefer white so getting both in the same pizza is awesome. We liked both styles. What can I say about the staff? They hustle and are very friendly, but like I mentioned we enjoyed Vernon's attention and information of the menu and the area. On his recommendation we also drive out to Lake Ouachita which was a good drive. We also enjoyed our leftovers.

I asked one of the staff and she told us the owner tells them he's just friends with a lot of beautiful women and has the photos on the wall to prove it. To each their own.
