Window table reserved for Sunday brunch. Service was excellent, Angel was our waiter. Girls trip for my birthday & watching a Live Oaklawn Race from the Buglar balcony added to a wonderful experience/memory. Ambiance is wonderful! read more

We really wanted the brunch to be good. The first time we tried it, it was a random Sunday and we went kinda late for brunch. The place was empty and the food on the buffet was obviously old and very limited. Maybe 2 other tables in the whole place. We made a reservation for the day of the Kentucky Derby for 11:30am (brunch starts at 11). We had hoped it would be busier and the buffet would be better maintained. We went and there was only one other table in the whole place, and only 30mins after opening the buffet had plenty of food but it all tasted like it had been sitting for a couple hours. Very very subpar for a $45 per person buffet! It's obvious why it was so empty both times we went. Everyone else has discovered the buffet brunch is absolutely terrible, Waffle House would have been better. Unless they make major major changes, we won't be back. read more

I had a reservation for a birthday with my best and only girlfriend. We were treated like king and queen! Food was amazing, service a little OTT, I like attentive but pay attention, don't need someone asking is everything ok when you're having an intimate conversation. Overall a great experience and would definitely go again! read more

Sometimes, the best part of losing money in a casino is going to one of their restaurants afterward and indulging in fancy cocktails and desserts. THE FOOD. - Strawberry Shortcake | The butter pound cake is unreal; moist and delicately spongy. And for the record, adding strawberry ice cream and fresh strawberries is not overkill; it's reinforcing its theme. Highly recommend. - Tahitian Vanilla & Citrus Crème Brûlée | Vanilla bean custard with citrus syrup and berries. Another delicious dessert to try out! THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Smoked Old Fashioned | Chose Woodford Reserve and our bartender dropped some cherry bitters. The verdict? Smooth, smoky, and harmoniously sweet. - Smoked Old Fashioned | Chose Whistle Pig 10-Year. Whew, quite strong! - Founders Porter | Campfire smokiness and delicious. - Painkiller | Rumdiddlyumptious. Tropical and pain medicated coconut. What does that even mean? Who knows. THE VIBE. Modern, yet classy affair. Photos associated with the racetrack are hung prominently on their walls. We sat at the bar which had comfortable seats and plenty of counter space. Our bartender was so helpful and a great conversationalist. THE PARKING. Free parking, but it can be a challenge. We had to circle a few times before finding something and it was far away from the entrance. COMING BACK? Would love to return and try out their lunch or dinner menu. read more

Wonderful relaxing ambience. I had the scallops and they were delicious. I also had the cream brûlés, but was a little disappointed. It was more like pudding instead of the cream brûlés I am accustomed to, but it was still good. Our waiter was amazing attentive to our needs, but didn't hover over. I highly recommend and look forward to going back. Just as an added thought it is pricey, but there are things on the menu that are more reasonable. The crabcakes which are listed as an appetizer is plenty for a ladies meal. read more

Excellent service, food was top notch, and the atmosphere was casual but upscale. Would absolutely recommend!

Never made it to our table. When asked if we had a reservation and we said no, the hostess acted like we had leprosy. I apologized and told her if we needed one we could come back. She never smiled. Just walked away to set up table. Adios!! read more

We've been here several times before, the bartender is experienced and conversation is great the food however was typical. This visit howeve,r was alit different. The service was excellent and the food was phenomenal! The chef's pairing on the menu was definitely skilled. We had the seabass, house Salad, pumpkin bisque soup, clam chowder, and truffle asparagus along with any espresso martini and a black orchid cocktail. Everything was excellent . The Bugler bought their A game with service, food and drinks.From the moment we walked in to minute we walked out. Everyone was at your service. They even validated our valet parking ticket and that top of the evening. We'll will be back to my new favorite restaurant in got springs read more

Stunning view of the track! We loved our entire experience at the Bugler. Our waitress was wonderful, Jocelyn, was so knowledgeable, gave great recommendations and was just so professional! Our drinks were all great and strong so definitely worth the money! We tried margarita, sangria, old fashioned and one of the local beers. All were great! Now for the food- we started with the small complimentary starter from the chef which was a homemade pita bread with homemade humas- I am not a humas fan and this was incredible!!! It melted in your mouth. The rolls with the two different types of butter was also super good. I got the crab cakes which were extremely good, I always have low expectations for seafood not on the coast but these were very tasty! Other dishes ordered at our table: sea bass, pork chop, creole shrimp & grits, and the special which was a spicy tuna dish. Everything was wonderful! Only negative feedback was the tuna dish was maybe a little too spicy, that there wasn't much flavor. Thanks for a wonderful evening! read more

We celebrated my son's 21st birthday at The Bugler and the food and service could not have been better. We had a group of 8 and everything we ordered was absolutely superb.

We had heard some really good things about this place and they were all true. This place was amazing. Our food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. There were six in our party and all of us raved about our meals, service and overall experience. Great restaurant, will definitely visit again when in the area. read more

My husband and I stopped in for a couple of appetizers and cocktails. Five stars is an understatement. The restaurant is beautiful with enormous windows overlooking horse racing. We sat at the bar and had one of the most delightful experiences with bartender Heather. She is the genius behind the custom seasonal cocktail creations. Her bar is meticulously clean and filled with all kinds of beautiful fresh fruit and perfectly sliced dried fruits and peppers. We especially loved the Fever Tree elderflower bottled tonic. We ordered the French onion soup (some of the best we've had) and Heather recommended the truffle fries to go with it. I think we got around 5 pounds of potatoes for the $11 side. My husband and I could each only eat 2-3. I believe they are baked potatoes, sliced into massive wedges and then fried before being sprinkled with truffle oil and dusted with truffle flake. Drool. I loved the bernaise sauce on the side as a dip--made the potatoes taste like steak. My husband preferred to dip them in our soup. If you are gambling in the casino, stop by to have Heather make you a drink to go instead of getting a standard drink on the casino floor. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have heard good things about The Buglar, AND...They are all true! From the time I checked early on our reservation to departing, 5 Stars on everything. Our waitress, Jocelyn was amazing, the attention she showed us, made us feel special. The cocktails, wow, out of sight, the food was probably some of the best we have ever had. But again, the staff makes this place special! I will return. The Old Fashioned was very tasty with good bourbon and the Malibu and pineapple was the best ever read more

This is a fine place to eat! We had a late dinner. The filet and shared mashed potato was delicious. The charcuterie board was beautiful and so yummy. Perfect appetizer. Service was attentive and removed our drinks we didn't enjoy. No one at our table liked the prickly pear margarita, it is quite sweet and tastes of artificial flavors, other mixed drinks were okay, and the soda was crisp. read more

I had the sea bass and my husband burger. Everything was perfection. We sat outside on the balcony it was fabulous a full harvest moon came out. The wait staff and other staff were awesome!

Unfortunately we were not impressed with our meal here, besides the crab veloute soup. I will say the lady who checked us in was sweet and our server was attentive. The steak (we got the ribeye) was pretty flavorless. The mushrooms were...interesting and only 1 had any type of flavor and the "truffle fries" were actually Wednesday's and not much, if any, truffle flavor. Luckily the aioli sauce that came with the fries helped save the steak and fries from being completely bland. read more

Always good the view of the race track an added plus, always eat dinner here when we stay at Oaklawn. read more

Service was good and food was even better; presentation superb! Happy to have this option in Hot Springs!

Wow what an absolutely decadent dinner. When we read the menu earlier in the day we knew we had to dine at this establishment. We started with lemon drop and a blueberry mule, both of which were fantastic. Then we had oysters on the half shell, which very delicious way to start our dinner. The l rack of lamb was fabulous and the salmon was as well.. we also added on a lobster which I highly recommend. And to end the night we had Keylime, which was the very best Keylime cheesecake we have ever had. The service was exceptional and the Avion's was great. My husband and I both highly recommend trying out the bugler if you're in Hot Springs. read more

Sunday Brunch: I didn't even have to wait for a table! Giant cocktail shrimp, oysters, fruit, steak, and typical breakfast fare. All were delicious as we overlooked the track. The bloody Mary's and mimosas were also delicious. The best part was the service. We were so cared for. Thank you! We will be back! read more

The service was impeccable. Our waitress Ashley was fabulous. The decor and vibe of the restaurant was phenomenal. The food not so much.
