    Entrance

    Food was pretty good. I had the classic Benny and subbed out the biscuit with the English muffin. My husband had the avocado toast. We both enjoyed our breakfast. The service was great and everyone was personable. The restaurant isn't overly dressy... it's kind of in between casual and formal. I would return again and perhaps try the lunch.

    Deviled eggs
    Shawn P.

    Cute restaurant in the Waters hotel. The place is very cute and the chairs are lovely. We had the açaí bowl and the deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were some of the best I have ever had, very good. The service was great as well. Definitely a great experience.

    Stayed at the Waters Hot Springs, Tapestry Collection by Hilton for a week and spent many mornings for breakfast here. The restaurant never seemed to be full, but I will say that the food and service stayed consistently great. Always came around to check up on how I was doing and refilled my water and coffee. They even gave me a to-go coffee cup when I wanted to take it back up to my room. They did the same for when I wanted to bring my iced tea back up too. THE FOOD. - Classic Eggs Benny | Thick slice of ham. Creamy Hollandaise sauce. Perfectly poached eggs all on an English muffin. Pretty great dish! - Classic Breakfast | Eggs, sausage patties, toast, and home fries. I cannot stress this enough... the home fries are so good! Crispy exterior with a soft interior, and seasoned just enough to bring out the flavors. If you get another dish and it doesn't come with home fries, order it on the side anyway. - Mediterranean Eggs Benny | There's no meat in this dish, but I love the combination of spinach, artichoke, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. A couple of poached eggs covered with hollandaise sauce and you have yourself a flavorful dish! I ordered this maybe 3 times during my stay. It's really good, highly recommend. - Avenue Omelette | Cubed cuts of tender ribeye. Diced sweet peppers and onions. The garlic aioli goes well with this omelette. I also liked that this was crepe style, which tends to be a thinner layer of egg. - Grown Up Grilled Cheese Sandwich | Gooey cheese with thick slices of bacon in between toasted bread. I felt this was very rich and loved the flavors. - Birria Chilaquiles | Creamy chipotle sauce. Tender birria meat. Over hard eggs. Another really great dish. THE DRINKS DRUNK. - Coffee | Straightforward and warms your soul. - Iced Tea | Straight up normal. THE PARKING. Parking is available on the street and limited to two hours, between 8AM - 5PM. If you're staying at the hotel, only valet parking is available and it's $15 for the day; $30 if you're staying overnight. COMING BACK? Yeah, it's a pretty great breakfast spot.

    Gluey, oversalted eggs Benedict
    J Rod P.

    I really tried. The food , so called eggs Benedict. eventually showed up after 30 minutes. Salted beyond recognition and overcooked or having sat under a heat lamp for a long time, it was inedible. The only coffee refill was acquired by walking around the dining area with my empty cup like a beggar. Don't torture yourself like we did. This on top of the disaster they called Thanksgiving dinner will stay in our memory.

    Lavender Gin Martini
    Lindsey M.

    I came in on a night where the place was empty. I got a lavender gin martini that was excellent. And ordered the broken beef meatloaf with baked Mac and cheese. The meatloaf was delicious except I was surprised that it was a little cold. The baked Mac and cheese was so hot it burned my tongue. So I'm not sure what was going on there...

    Bone in pork chop and salmon
    Alex T.

    Amazing drinks, service and food. Fiancé had the salmon and I had the bone in pork chop with whipped mashed potatoes. Very good. Also great skinny margarita and spritz. Not sure why this place is rated so low but it's right in downtown and give it a try, we were certainly impressed!

    Chilaquiles
    Deborah S.

    Super cool brunch spot in the heart of downtown Hot Springs! The menu is inventive and fun, but they have a classic breakfast if you're not into that. Coffee is fantastic. Service was friendly and they kept us happy. We really enjoyed our experience!

    Birria chilaquiles

    Great brunch place right across from the baths! View was perfect! The food and drinks were so good! Service was amazing as well!

    I was craving Shrimp & Grits unfortunately they don't serve them at Dinner so I orders the Tuscany Flatbread I was craving Shrimp & Grits unfortunately they don't serve them at Dinner so I orders the Tuscany Flatbread OMG it's so fresh and clean tasting. I also asked the chef if I could ordered the Creamed Spinach and some of the Flatbread plain to go as a Snack for later in the hotel room while watching the Presidential Election. Holy Smokes Y'all I didn't get a picture because I ate it so fast I forgot. It was PERFECTION. This place knows what they're doing. The fish and chips are also absolutely delicious. I've decided to come back tomorrow I now have to absolutely have their Shrimp & Grits. I'll let y'all know how they are!! I 1000% will be coming back!!!!!! I went back from Brunch and had the Shrimp and Grits with a side of Bacon. This restaurant has NOT disappointed. First off the Shrimp were so Fresh and clean tasting. The grits Creamy with a mild Gravy and the bacon cook to a perfect crisp crumbled on top was Perfection. I'm literally planning my family's 2024 Christmas vacation to come here just so I can eat at this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and don't forget the side of Bacon for your Shrimp & Grits you can thank me in the comments!

    Slow service...empty restaurant.
    Casey B.

    In brief: Slow service. Bad food. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, our food took a noticeably long time. If what was delivered had been edible, the duration of time it took for it to arrive would have been completely excusable. I ordered the croque monsieur. It was a poor man's attempt at this Parisian dish...but what can you expect while in Arkansas. The bread was stale and the butt end pieces. The béchamel may have just been gravy--unsure, really. My nephew ordered the breakfast plate: pretty standard meal. Two meals, one of which was inedible, consisting mostly of stale bread for $50. Naw--I encourage you to pass on this place. So, when in Hot Springs, keep on walking.

    Part of The Waters hotel in downtown Hot Springs. I had a fantastic breakfast here. Eggs Benedict on point with super runny yolks, tasty ham, and toasted muffin. Home fries seasoned and crispy. My server was fantastic. She was not only kind and attentive, but made a WICKED spicy Bloody Mary that was delicious. They have a simple, but fairly elegant menu for each meal, including brunch, and some great cocktail options. There is a rooftop bar with light fare as well if you want before or after dinner drinks. I stayed at The Waters, and it was a great hotel, walking distance to everything, and this restaurant was a convenient and well done addition to my short stay.

    Hour wait for food after we ordered is unacceptable and it wasn't even busy. Watched other people…read morewho sat after us get food. Not sure why as didn't complain to anybody to get an explanation. Food was decent. Read someone's review about chowder being watery. They either fixed it or had a bad batch. It was good and thick. The crab bisque was no good. Just weird tasting and can't explain how. Had trigger fish which got charged for dinner when we were at lunch and didn't know. It was good the lemon jerk was a nice flavor. The butter potatoes enjoyed and is swimming in it but liked it. The mango cole slaw was just ok. Wouldn't do it again. The crab was crab, not bad. Still was expecting it to be worse as seems like a tourist spot. But not bad. The chocolate mousse thing was great and not too rich as finished the whole thing :)

    My mother and I visited Fisherman's Wharf Steak & Seafood on Saturday, June 13, 2026, between…read moreapproximately 8:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had, not because of the food, but because of how we were treated before we were even seated. When we arrived, we requested a table by the front window so we could be away from the walkway where dogs pass through the restaurant. The hostess told us she would do her best to accommodate our request after about a 45-minute wait. When our table was ready, another hostess, Alley, seated us at the back of the restaurant instead. When my mother pointed out that the front window table was still empty, Alley told us it was reserved for an interview. Later, I walked by and saw that same table occupied by another party. When I questioned Alley, her explanation suddenly changed to "confusion." To make matters worse, the manager, John, later confirmed there was no interview taking place that evening. We were given multiple, inconsistent explanations for why we couldn't have the table we requested. As African American customers, it was troubling to be told the table was unavailable, only to later see a white party seated there after we had been told it was reserved. I cannot say why that happened, but I can say it left us questioning whether we were treated fairly. What disappointed me even more was management's response. Rather than acknowledging our concerns, John repeatedly defended the hostess and offered different explanations instead of simply apologizing. Although our meal was eventually comped, neither Alley nor John apologized for what happened. I later emailed management describing the incident in detail and never received a response. Ignoring a customer after an experience like this only reinforces the impression that our concerns were not taken seriously. Customer service begins long before the food reaches the table. Honesty, respect, and accountability matter. Unfortunately, we did not receive those that evening. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.
