Now THAT was a breakfast. Totally get why they've been in business for so long. The homemade…read moresausage patties were stellar. The pancakes were great, my banana pancakes had a lot of banana. They are hearty pancakes! AND you get toast with an egg combo, so our little 2 top was swimming in delicious breakfast food. The coffee was a perfect diner blend, served with a little mini pitcher of cream which felt like a nice touch, as did the serving apple butter and jelly in a little dish. There was a wait on a Saturday morning but it wasn't terrible, like 45 minutes. When we got in the staff were working their tails off and our server was amazing. It's a small establishment and a little loud, but don't let that stop you from having an amazing breakfast.

This is NOT southern breakfast.. might be better for northerners to eat an egg breakfast here. I had the scrambled eggs and onions which was cooked well and buttery. Very good! No potatoes were a bummer. Sausage was pretty hard and dry. Bacon looked much better. I'm appreciative this place was open. Why so many places are closed in Hot Springs mid-week is baffling to me. I'll be back here next time the service was fantastic!

I genuinely thought I was being pranked. It felt less like a family restaurant & more like I had…read moreaccidentally walked into Dick's Last Resort. My first interaction with the hostess was a pointed finger towards the back of the restaurant while she stated "the booth in the back". A little shocked that was all that she was going to say, I lead my group to the back of the restaurant hoping I was guiding them to where the hostess had intended on us sitting. Another incident occurred when someone in our party who was sitting in the middle of the booth asked the server for hot sauce, the response was mumbled under her breath as she walked away "There's a shelf over there." I understand if it's a self service hot sauce bar, but there are about a million more hospitable ways to communicate that. I obviously got up & grabbed it bec that seemed like a better solution than making our entire table climb out of the booth. Not to mention a cockroach casually strolled around our booth. We told our server, no apology, no concern, nothing. Ironically, the food itself was fine. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed it. After we left, we were walking around the strip talking about the experience when multiple shop owners told us this restaurant has a reputation for service like that & said we should have gone to the Famous Pancake House instead. So here's my warning to other travelers, if you're looking for breakfast with friendly service, I'd probably keep walking. If you're looking for an unintentional interactive experience where you will wonder whether you're on a hidden camera prank show... this might be the place...

This was a nice donut shop that was really close to our hotel in Hot Springs so we didn't have to travel far. When we arrived, there was a little bit of a line but it went by fast and the staff were really nice. We ordered our breakfast items and they heated up our biscuit sandwiches and sent us on our way. The biscuit sandwich was really gooe, classic biscuit, egg, cheese, and sausage for me. The biscuit was nice and fluffy and the innards were all tasty and warmed up. The donut holes were your classic glazed donut holes. The boudin kolache had a nice, flavorful boudin and a soft bread. Really all the food we got was just great and cheap. This was a nice spot to pick up a bit of breakfast for our drive back home and held up well during our trip!

I looked and it was just specks of jalapeño and hardly any cheese. It was very dry and the bread was rubbery because my microwaved it. The flavor of the apple fritter was good, but it was pretty stale in my opinion. They microwaved it as well, but you could still tell it was older. Also, when you walk in, they don't have any pastries shoes from in the display. They were nice and the place was clean so I'll give it a 3.

I usually don't write reviews, but I was blown away with both service and the quality of our food. I ordered the Pork Belly Skillet Hash on recommendation and it was fantastic. The pork was packed with flavor and was perfectly matched with the potatoes and poached eggs. We also tried the Brioche bites as a starter and they were delicious and tasted just like Cinnabon delights as Keisha said. We are both from New Orleans and are tough critics to impress because of it. Overall the atmosphere, service, and delicious food makes Best Cafe a must see on your trip to Hot Springs. We enjoyed it so much we are going to go back tomorrow on our trip to try different dishes. 10/10!
