    Raw oysters

    We had a great time. It was beautiful out so we sat on the patio. The outdoor area is great ambiance. Everything we ordered food wise was good. I had a cucumber mojito and I wouldn't order that again. The oysters were fabulous as well as the shrimp and grits. The crawfish had a great seasoning (even for my husband who loves spicy). The waitress was attentive and had a great attitude. She was patient and appreciative when the kids ordered their own food.

    Fried shrimp poboy

    Went to The Local Seafood & Oyster Bar at The Landing today in Hot Springs. Best shrimp poboy I've had in ages. Tasted like one of those hole in the wall only the locals know about in Florida! Menu here looked great. Want to come back to try their Cajun pasta next. I met the owners and you can tell they love serving their community.

    Absolutely amazing service and staff! When we come back to hot springs this will be the go to! Awesome place keep it up! Devan was also an amazing server thank you Devan! This place also has a dock for boats!

    My family and I waited 45 minutes for a table and never got seated. We were originally told the wait would be 20 minutes.

    The food was excellent and the service was very good. The view of the lake was a nice addition to the experience.

    Dropped in today because I was craving a good burger and I've heard wonderful things about the…read moreBlitzed Pig... Allie greeted me almost immediately and got me seated and set up with a sweet tea and a menu. She returned just a few minutes later and answered all the questions that I had about the menu - which were many - because there's quite a selection to be had here. I finally settled on the Gouda burger with crispy bacon on a lightly toasted, brioche bun and all the fixings. I upgraded my Fries to beer batter onion rings, and boy was that NOT a mistake. Onion rings were crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, with a little bit of that tangy beer batter flavor. The burger was piled high with tart, crunchy pickles, crisp lettuce, and a big tomato wedge that was perfectly ripe. Rounding up the presentation was some of the crispies, most perfectly cooked bacon. I've seen in a while and a nice wedge of Gouda cheese, melting, and oozing over it all. On the first bite, you could tell this was definitely chargrilled and done right. The beef was cooked through, but not dried out and the whole thing was a big juicy delicious pile of goodness. My waitress, Allie, was Jonny on the spot with everything. Sort of like the butler from Mr. Deeds; anytime you would start to think about needing something, she would magically appear and practically read your mind, bringing you exactly what you wanted. I was shocked to discover she's fairly new here because she's really good at her job and seems to fit right in. Overall, I'd give the burger and 9.5 out of a 10. It might be able to use just a tad bit of more seasoning. I'd give Allie an 11 out of 10 because she really went above and beyond not just for me, but her service was so good, I actually watched her with the other patrons and she was all over it like a bad topure on Howard Cosell, only in a good

When we first sat down , however, she did mention to us the specials and told us the number one thing they sell was a certain steak on the menu..... it was $88. That kinda turned me off from the beginning. We ordered calamari to start.... Frozen calamari with zero flavor, tasted like Costco. Horrible texture. We decided to share the american pharaoh which was almost $60 but seemed like a lot of food. The steak was over cooked and was not a steak of that price. We both thought it tasted exactly like the Costco filets we buy and grill at home. The crab cake on top was for sure a frozen crab cake with not a lot of crab. Was just not good at all. For desert we got the chocolate cake. It was decent but definitely not a homemade dessert. Our bill, before tip, was $150. This meal, To us, wasn't worth $50. I would not recommend this place. The bathroom closest to us was connected to a bar and was so gross. The place has zero ambiance and the food was terrible. We will not be back.

    Rocky's Corner - Good Food, Great Vibes, Even Better People…read more Right across from Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, Rocky's Corner fills up fast, and it's easy to see why. It's got that simple, spacious diner feel. Family-friendly, a full bar, and the kind of place where just about anyone can settle in comfortably. The pizzas coming out of the kitchen looked seriously tempting. The kind that makes you second-guess your order. But we took the lighter route and shared the Rocky's Salad Supreme and a bowl of minestrone. Both were fresh, satisfying, and exactly what we needed after a long drive from St. Louis. I paired it with a strong Old Fashioned that hit just right. No complaints there. But the real standout wasn't the food. It was the service. Melissa S was an absolute gem. Managing multiple tables with ease, always smiling, answering questions with patience, and actually connecting with people. Not just taking orders, but making the experience feel human. She was especially kind and gentle with my husband, who has mobility challenges, and that kind of attentiveness doesn't go unnoticed. When you're on the road for weeks, those small moments of genuine care stay with you. Rocky's Corner delivers solid food and a welcoming space, but it's people like Melissa who make it memorable.

THEN, there's this homeless looking guy standing at the rail outside of the restaurant watching one of the games on TV. There may have been 3 tables occupied in the whole place and at least 20 open. Where does she sit me and my wife? YEP. At the table where the dude is standing. He is 2 feet from us. Only reason I didn't get up and leave is because I knew my wife was hungry and this was the only option and it was already 2pm. I think there were 3 or 4 very young people working in there. I wish I'd taken a picture of the sad little old fashioned I ordered that was 1 ounce of bourbon and some sugar. Two sips and that was gone for $12. Didn't see the waitress for a while so I walked to the bar and got a beer. Can't go wrong there. Beer was fine. We order chicken tenders and french fries to share. Can't go wrong there, right? Wrong! Wrong! The chicken tenders had a funny taste to them and they were rubbery. The fries were fine. So we shared the french fries, finished our drinks, hid the uneaten chicken tenders in the french fries basket so they wouldn't ask any questions, paid the bill and got out of there. Lord have mercy. Can't wait to never go back.

I got the side salad, which was simple, but yummy, and the nachos --- which were huge. It looked like I barely ate anything when I finally told the waitress to take them away. Small beer selection. No craft beer to speak of, but Hot Springs may not be big into craft beer, which is ok. All in all I would recommend this place to anyone looking to watch a sporting event.
