Crawfish in Hot Springs? Heck yeah. We arrived in town and this was close to our hotel. My wife had never eaten crawfish and we drove right over. Rendi is a great owner and hostess. When she learned this was Patty's first experience, Rendi showed her how to eat it and let her try it before we ordered. We then ordered the #3 and got a lot of crawfish with corn and a couple of potatoes. It was absolutely delicious. Rendi's seasoning is extremely flavorful and has a little spice to her crawfish. Patty ate the tails and left me the heads, so I was in heaven. If you want a great crawfish meal, this is a great place to eat. Thanks Rendi for a great meal and your hospitality. read more

Best crawfish I've ever had, and I lived just outside of New Orleans. Rendi is the queen of crawfish. The crawfish are clean and sorted and you can taste the love she puts in them. I'm their self proclaimed #1 fan. read more

This is our new favorite crawfish spot. My wife and I flew into hot springs for the day and were recommended Rendi's. I was skeptical because I never much cared for crawfish, my wife however used to work at a crawfish restaurant and loves them. We both walked up to the window and were greeted by Rendi who was absolutely awesome. She's so nice and helpful and came and talked with us while we ate. The crawfish itself was the best my wife has ever had, and me being "not a crawfish fan" changed as well. We ordered 2lbs with pork and crawfish boudin and came back to the window for another helping. I'm officially a fan of crawfish, and am excited to take home the tub of seasoning they offer as well. read more

I started going to Rendi's in 2011 I believe. It's been a while. It was amazing and I haven't stopped going ever since. She has the best crawfish in town. I love her seasoning. I usually request them extra spicy and I'll purchase some lemons for a lemon rain on top. So good! Rendi is very kind. It's always a positive experience. A number 2 with a Cajun sausage is my go to order. These bad boys are big too. Twist the tail, suck the head and eat the claw meat. read more

We were visiting Arkansas to visit Hot Springs National Park, but didn't expect to also find our favorite meal of the trip. We each got the 1 lb crawfish meal, and shared a side of mushrooms. It was delicious and the perfect amount of food. We were told that they ship their spice blend all over the US, and we will be ordering some ASAP because that stuff is pure magic. Rendi's has lightning speed service, affordable seafood, and the friendliest staff around. There's not too many places where you can feel comfortable with a one year old toddler, but we felt like we were visiting family. This is a must stop in Arkansas! read more

Great Mudbugs and awesome service! I always call ahead, and my order is ready. Extra spicy is really great!

For those who make the trek to Hot Springs, be it for Oaklawn, the bath houses, a massage, shopping, antiques, or the water, if you like crawfish you're really missing a great opportunity if you don't get some at Rendi's. I've had bugs from FL, AL, MS, TN, & AR. These tie for the best ever with Crawdad's Restaurant in Marigold MS. Maybe even better. Don't let the food truck scare you, get em, bring up back to your condo, hotel room, or rental house, grab a cold adult beverage, and watch the sunset! read more

Crawfish. Period. I called in advance to see if they had someone to teach me how to eat a crawdad because up until now, the only thing I knew about crawdads was that they hid under rocks in a creek or a ditch. The old lady says yeah, come on. I pulls up with my ceiling missing and proceed to get out and pimp walk to the front of the establishment. To be continued... So I look in the window and I see the old lady, (Rendi) sitting in a corner doing a crossword puzzle. Long story short. She showed me how to eat the tail and then proceeded to suck the head. They be good. The old lady is nice. She made me a little uncomfortable because she kept staring at my huge muscles. Well worth it. Good tasting and they aren't spoiled. read more

These are some of the best crawfish I've ever had. The juice they're served with is to die for. There definitely is something addictive about the juice. As soon as we finished eating, all I could think about was getting another couple pounds. The owner and his family are super nice. He walked out to see how everything was and to show us his tried-and-true crawfish extraction technique. I'd definitely recommend this to a friend. My advice would be to order a couple potatoes for each person too, to give your mouth a break from the cajun seasoning at the end. read more
