- MMichaelWisconsin •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLuke is a great server, ask for him if you can. The ambiance is unique and intimate - perfect for a date night. Everything we had was fantastic from Stuart’s to entrees and dessert as well as drinks. They had some rare finds on the alcohol list plus our server recommended some not on the list. From arrival to departure it was 90 minutes. We tried the pickled egg flight annd were pleasantly surprised. We also tried the onion pie which was not overwhelming oniony but incredible with the flaky crust and brown butter. All schnitzel was made after we ordered it, but service was quick. Bathrooms are not fancy but very clean.More infoSteinhaus Keller$$$$• Bavarian• Hot Springs•4.6

- AAmberLittle Rock •1 review5.0Dined on May 22, 2026We had a girls’ day at noon on a Friday and it was perfect! Not too loud or overstimulating. We relaxed, had fun, sang along to the music, and enjoyed each other’s company! Food was really good, service was great and we had a blast playing the games. Two hours sure went by fast! Oh, and we were there at happy hour for the games because it was 1/2 priced!!More infoMainline Sports$$$$• American• Hot Springs•4.3

Discover Hot Springs
Consider yourself lucky if you get hungry in this town. The food scene melds its heartland heritage with an appetite for worldly adventure. Southern barbecue tempts meat lovers with tender and flavorful beef and pork, but a surprising number of restaurants have vegetarian choices, too. Friendly pubs and diners offer familiar American foods and pizza, but regional favorites like fried pickles, cheese dip, and possum pie can enliven menus. For something truly local, tuck into a plate of fried catfish drawn from the Mississippi River. If anyone in your party wants a dinner inspired by other cultures, ethnic cuisines such as Italian, Mexican, and Ecuadorian can offer you some more exotic choices.
