Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

After a full day exploring Hot Springs, Arkansas, this BBQ absolutely HIT the spot…read more Before you even walk inside, look to your left -- you can see the giant smokers going and smell that incredible smoky BBQ aroma before you ever reach the door. Honestly, that smell alone had us excited to eat. The setup here is casual and easy. You order at the counter, grab a table, and they give you a number, though a lot of the food was ready so quickly that several items were handed to us almost immediately after ordering. Our group shared all kinds of things so we got to try a little bit of everything. My daughter and I split a loaded baked potato topped with pulled pork and added several sides to the table because honestly...we wanted to try it all. The fried okra was especially delicious, but truly everything we had was good. Around the table: * My dad ordered the nachos * My mom got a sweet potato along with brisket-stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon (which she absolutely loved) * We sampled sides galore and nobody left hungry The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and service was FAST without making the experience feel rushed. This felt like exactly what good Southern BBQ should be -- flavorful, generous portions, no unnecessary fuss, and the kind of meal that makes everyone at the table happy after a long day out exploring.

The smoke aroma hits you before you open the door which is nearly always a good sign. Both of us decided on their Special Op's sandwich, which comes with a Brisket, Pulled Pork, a choice of sausage (jalapeño pineapple or four cheese), a rib and a side of beans. We each ordered a side of potato salad and we split an order of Brisket Twisters which are jalapeños stuffed with brisket and cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. Neither of us finished and both of us had to get a to-go box. Overall everything was really good. Everything was fresh, the hot foods were hot, not warm or dried out, from sitting around in a warming cabinet, for hours, and the potato salad was well chilled, not room temperature. It is things like this that I notice, and make a difference. The only thing I was not keen on was the rib. It was extremely soft almost mushy and literally falling of the bone. I know thats how many people like their ribs. I just prefer my ribs to be a little less well done and have a bit of a pull to the meat to get it off the bone, so I am not going to ding them for that. The counter where you order and get your meal is clean, bright and cheerful, the staff are all really pleasant, friendly and helpful. The dining room is fairly large and roomy, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy your food. Overall, a really good dining experience and we both agreed we would dine there again.

Myself and one of my friends had a nice breakfast here and the service was very good. We had 2 different ladies who brought our food out and kept checking up on us if we needed anything. It is a cute little restaurant in a small shopping plaza , easy to miss driving by if you didn't know it was there. We found it online and it was close to the Airbnb I rented across the lake. I had Pancakes , Scrambled Eggs , Bacon , and Home Fries. My friend had the same except no Pancakes. The Pancakes were light and fluffy with a little powdered sugar and syrup on the side. They tasted pretty good. Scrambled Eggs were cooked perfectly , also light and fluffy. Bacon was a little smoky and good , not too crisp , more chewy like I like it. Our last day we had breakfast downtown at Best Cafe and Bar , which is a historic 1930's Diner attached to a Motel that supposedly Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio stayed at. We were not impressed. I would recommend eating here instead , because Best Cafe and Bar was very bland , very busy , expensive , and just okay customer service. You get more for your money here. We thought Waffle House was better than Best Cafe and it was way cheaper.

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...

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.

Ambiance and interior of the restaurant is fine. FOOD- FANTASTIC. Very flavorful Mediterranean food, cooked well and arrived to the table hot. Granted, it took over an hour to get to us, but more on that below. We ordered the Mediterranean feast, fig bruschetta and house salads which were all great. Tasty tzatziki and pita. The dolma that my mother ordered as her meal came out about 15 minutes after everyone else's food were okay. Overall solid food with no complaints. SERVICE- Our waiter, Harmony, (who mentioned it was only her second day on the job), is the main reason my review is not much more dissatisfied. But make no mistake, the patrons at the table near us were livid with the service they received as well. We stood at the entrance to the restaurant for over 15 minutes, with several staff walking by and not acknowledging our presence or asking to put us on a waitlist but rather averting their eyes and rushing by. (The sign at front asked us to wait to be seated). When I was finally able to flag someone down, they said it would be around 15 minute wait which we were more than okay with, considering the holiday weekend. However, they did not take our name down and we continued to wait; had to flag another waitress down who then helped us to a table shortly after. We then sat without so much as water or anyone stopping by our table to let us know they would be by soon to take our drink order. It seemed unclear if the staff even knew what tables were assigned to them. Once we were able to flag the waitress, Harmony, down, she was kind enough to take our order and adopt our table even though she was not our assigned waitress (seemingly). The waitress who was then supposed to be ours came by 15-20 minutes later and we let her know we already had been helped. Harmony was very attentive, doing everything in her power to get our alcoholic beverages and food to our table faster, letting us know she checked on the kitchen several times. I have no problem with food being slower, especially on a holiday weekend. However, what really turned me off to the experience is the response of who seemed to be the owner/manager of the place. She was walking around saying hi to several tables multiple times and checked on our table at the very end. When I brought up our frustrations, she dismissed my concerns and nonchalantly said "oh it's the holiday weekend" as the reason for our sub-optimal service. This is certainly a cop out, considering we saw 3 tables near us get seated and served before we even ordered. One waitress even commented "Oh they put y'all in the dark, forgotten corner" and laughed. Even when presented an out as I asked the owner if they were understaffed as that could be a reasonable explanation, she said no. All in all, it is a shame the way this place is being run and the food is truly something special. Hopefully the owner sees this review and takes it under advisement.
