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!

After being seated, and ordering food, we waited 40+ minutes for our food, for a total wait of almost an hour and a half. The service wasn't too bad, but it almost felt like we were being forgotten. The food was good. Well-portioned, tasty. Combined with drinks, our total came out around $80... while good, in my opinion not good enough to warrant such an excruciating wait.

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.

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.

For example, another restaurant, in Houston no less, offered a house made tortellini dish with TRUFFLES for $32. Maybe I should've considered my options a bit more but the reviews and recommendations set high expectations. The ambience / vibe felt poorly executed. Seems like they use the side room for storage. During our visit the door was left open, and it was obvious employees were going in and out to watch the basketball game. The one positive was the drinks.
