Superior Bathhouse Brewery

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.

This is a distillery that focuses on moonshine but also does some vodka as well. Its a sort of rustic spot that seemed off the main strip so was a bit quieter.

Keally was our server and she was super nice and gave us great background about the various moonshines and drinks. She also provided good suggestions on how to mix them up or pair them with other things.

El Pulgarcito Latino

If you told me there'd be amazing Salvadorian food essentially in a national park, I'd be puzzled…read morebut here we are, amazing Salvadorian food inside Hot Springs National Park. This is a food truck, slightly off the main strip of downtown but so worth a short drive over. They have a cute patio area set up as well as a tiny marr with various snacks, essentials, and some groceries/spices. The couple that runs the truck is super nice and they churn out amazing food. We tried 3 different pupusas (chicharron, calabaza/zanahoria, and loroco), the bistec encebollado, platano especial, horchata, and jamaica. Everything was sooooo good and honestly, super affordable. The pupusas had such nice stringy cheese and good filling to masa ratio. The chicharron was my favorite but all tasted fresh and the curtido to go with it added that nice fresh crunch and tang with the sauce. The bistec was super well flavored and tender and the beans and rice were also great. I usually like beans more than the rice but honestly, the rice won out. It tasted amazing on its own as well as combined with everything. The platano were fried perfectly with some caramelized crispy sugars on the edges and a smooth creamy texture. I believe their horchata uses toasted rice which gave it such a unique flavor that I found extremely enjoyable. Honestly, I was not expecting to find anything like this while making a trip to Arkansas but honestly just reminds me amazing food is everywhere and sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith. Pupuseria El Pulgarcito was a definite winner and I'd highly recommend this to anyone making a trip out here!
