From the lovely country, the delightful staff, to the amazing open atmosphere and great beer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The prices were reasonable and beers were very tasty! There is frequently rotating food trucks, and I forget the name of the one I ate at, but the chicken wings were amazing. Again I have to brag on the amazingly chill staff and space. I can't wait to go back.

My husband and I visited the Pridgin Family Brewery in Scranton, Arkansas in late April, 2024…read more What a terrific place to unwind after a long day of driving! They're a bit off the beaten path. But worth the drive. This is a family brewery, snd we were warmly greeted by multiple family members, from David, the patriarch, and his wife Reba, to some of their children and spouses who run the brewery. There are nine micro-beers that are made in-house, so we ordered two flights (of 5 beers each) so we could taste them all! There are also root beer, wines and ciders available for those who don't like beer. The beers were such a hit that my husband also bought a growler of the porter to take on our continuing road trip. In addition to the free popcorn, there is usually a food truck on site. Our dinner was nachos from the Mexican food truck. Nacho Mammas. The set up is very laid back and relaxing. Some folks were watching a Razorbacks baseball game on tv. Others were playing cards. Some kids were playing table games while their younger siblings were playing in the mud after dine recent rain. Outdoor tables overlooked a pretty pond and farmland. Parking was plentiful and free. For those RVers out there, this brewery participates as a Harvest Host. We shared the site with one other Class-B. It was a quiet and safe night, and David warmly greeted us in the morning to make sure that all was well. We definitely recommend this brewery.

The interior is welcoming with long wooden tables and benches. Our kids enjoyed playing some of the free games offered. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Additionally, Mike, who served our food (maybe a manager or owner?) was incredibly kind. We liked the 4 beers from our flight. But the food was the main reason I'd go back. The pimiento grilled cheese sandwich and burger were both so good! If I ever come through Little Rock again, I'd definitely pay another visit.

When you walk inside, it's a bit of a rustic brewery feel. We were seated by the host and we happened to be there on a day they were serving brunch. Unfortunately, our experience was impacted by a large family with several kids which were seated at the same communal table that wasn't big enough to hold the family, which made the experience feel more crowded and distracting than we would have preferred. I ordered the love honey bock which was a full bodied beer flavored with Arkansas honey and was very good. As for the food, I ordered the brisket hash which was extremely dry and had to drown the brisket in salsa to finish it. If I'm in the area I would stop in for beer but would probably pass on brunch.

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.

The inside is uniquely decorated with features such as accordian lights and the original inudstrial ceiling of the building. There was a bit of a wait as the table was prepared. We were then quickly seated. To start off, we got the pepperoni chips. They're exactly what you'd imagine. Crispy pepperoni slices that are served with a side of marinara sauce. Now, don't get me wrong... they were definitely good. However, would I get them again? No. They were more salty than I would have liked. We mainly were looking for a non-carb starter. Looking back, we probably would have gotten the caprese plates. In terms of pies, we got a large half-n-half. For the first half, we got Hot Honey. Great mix of savory with the shredded pepperoni and then the sweet & spicy offered through the hot honey. Then for the other half, we got the Fungal Jungal. There were crimini, oyster, and portabella mushroooms... plenty of flavory as well as a good amount of roasted garlic. This was probably our favorite out of the two. Though both were still good overall! Aside from the food, everything was reasonably priced and service was top-notch! Definitely recommend!

I got the flight of beers that came in boot shot glasses. We ordered a medium fungal jungle pizza with a side of hot honey. (Don't recommend the hot honey - literally honey with pepper flakes on it). The pizza itself had 3 different kinds of mushrooms and it really hit the spot post hike. Good place to chill and hang for a decent price. Waitress was fast paced and on point. Really nice decor inside as well.

My wife and…read moreI came in on a Friday afternoon, we loved the beers so much that we grabbed 3 6-packs on the way out. Happy hours included half price pints and some really good bar snacks... I would recommend the sampler that came with onion rings, cheese fries, chicken bites (get the dry rub!), and egg roll boudin. This place is so secure in the quality of the beer that they offer that our bartender actually recommended that we go to another place to compare: Moody Brews a couple of miles south. We decided to stay for a while and sample the beers at this place instead, playing rummy and watching a bowl game on TV. A perfect spot for all of that!!

Stopped into Flyway Brewing on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised by how quiet it was. The…read morerestaurant was clean, comfortable, and had the music at exactly the right volume present enough to create atmosphere without making conversation difficult. Nothing felt overwhelming or overdone, which made for a relaxed experience. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Water hit the table in under two minutes, and our beers arrived in less than five. That's the kind of efficiency every restaurant should strive for. Now for the food: * Cheese Curds ($8) - These arrived piping hot and fresh from the fryer. The curds themselves were crispy but fairly bland on their own. The ranch and Mimi's Red Sauce did a lot of the heavy lifting here and elevated the dish significantly. * Queso ($8, plus $2 for chorizo) - Very basic. Not bad, but not memorable either. It tasted like melted Velveeta with a little extra liquid mixed in. Perfectly edible, just lacking any standout flavor. * Pretzel ($6) - Easily one of the highlights of the meal. They accidentally brought us the espresso pretzel first before correcting it with the plain version we ordered. Surprisingly, both were excellent. Soft, fresh, and flavorful. * Smash Burger & Fries ($17) - The fries were fantastic: hot, crispy, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The burger itself was average--exactly what you'd expect from a mid-range brewery restaurant. Good, but not something I'd specifically come back for. * Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries ($15) - The low point of the meal. The sweet potato fries were cold, stale, and honestly should never have left the kitchen. The chicken sandwich wasn't much better. The breading was overcooked to the point of tasting burnt, and there wasn't much flavor beyond that. * Bacon-Wrapped Quail Sliders - Another average offering. Not bad by any means, but nothing that stood out or justified ordering again. The beer is clearly the star of the show here. Flyway knows how to brew, and that's what would bring me back. The food ranges from good to disappointing, with only a few items really standing out. Overall: * Beer: 4/5 * Food: 2/5 * Service: 5/5 Flyway Brewing is worth visiting for the beer, atmosphere, and service. Eat because you're there, not because you're searching for an exceptional meal. If the kitchen can become as consistent as the brewery, this place could be something special.

We opted for the beehive and at first, we were a little concerned about the location and exterior look of the place. I'm so glad we went in. The Beehive gave us our best time in the Village! First off, our bartender, Zachary, was friendly and jovial and poured a good drink. Memory, our server, was also sweet and gave some recommendations for food. It was taco Tuesday, so really, we were limited to six taco varieties and some quesadillas. We opted to try all six tacos, expecting them to be street taco sized, especially since they were only $1.75-$2.25 each. They were large and each one was really good. The pork belly and the shrimp were the faves. The only criticism would be to use homemade tortillas and/or cook them longer to get a little char on them. We were sitting pretty full when someone mentioned how good the carrot cake is, so of course, we had to try it. It did not disappoint! The absolute best part of the whole experience was all the village regulars! We met so many interesting characters, many of whom were former Texans who'd retired here. I wish we had found this place sooner! It is a real hidden gem in the village. Thanks, George, for the hospitality, good food, and great conversation.

We splurged with the caviar service the second night. Excellent decision. I hope those who live in the Hot Springs area appreciate what a great restaurant they have.
