The 31 best regional fast-food chains and restaurants in Hot Springs (2024)

We came to Hot Springs to see Aaron Lewis, an amazing artist. That was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, loved the acoustic concert. Everyone seemed to be well behaved and respectful. The facility is so nice, very beautiful. Elegant bathrooms. I’d definitely go back for another concert. If I had one complaint, the ushers need to have those that are standing up in front of others that paid the same price. Definitely not cool blocking the views!

My wife and I stayed at the resort the Friday of Memorial Day weekend for a concert. Awesome facility in every way (rooms, dining, concert venue, amenities, parking, etc.).One clear standout is the customer service/experience.Uncharacteristically, I left a very important item in my room upon checkout and didn't realize it until I was over 4 hours away. I quickly called the resort desk and was connected to Mr. Landon Snell (Front area manager I think).Thankfully they had the item in his office, and he explained he'd be more than happy to mail it to me. I was pleasantly surprised - one; they had the item, and two; how pleasant and helpful Mr. Snell was ensuring me he'd mail the item to me. Wow.Superior experience and service!

Rooms were great! Comfortable bed, 75 inch TV, large rain shower head in shower. Casino is very nice, none smoking although they ate very tight machines and card are electronic with a dealer passing them out. The nice restaurants are not open on Mon and Tues so we had to leave to get dinner. Overall, nice couple of days.

The hotel was nice. Was on the 8th floor and had a great view of the horse track. The room was clean but housekeeping made it to out room after 5. It was peaceful considering there is a casino on the second floor. I would stay again. Russel at the front desk was also very nice and professional. Overall in hot springs it’s the best you are going to get

Beautiful hotel and rooms, and the service was excellent, far above anywhere in the area. We enjoyed the check in process with Brian, the manager…I mean who enjoys checking in?? He was a pleasure to talk to though. It’s a little pricey but I would say worth it because of how nice the hotel is. The bed was super comfortable, and the AC worked great. Everything was crisp and clean. We enjoyed our stay, and the view of the track would be amazing during race season.

Just went into the casino. It was a pleasant experience. I was a bit on the plus side, had I not answered my phone. It always breaks up the fun mood when I'm on the phone and trying to enjoy myself.I also wanted to make it a "one-stop shop" with dinner after playing, but I guess I was too early.They should have at least one 'nice' dining area open for a nice sit-down dining experience.

We have been in Hot Springs since Nov.Went New Years for the Prince Tribute.The performance was really good!Only the chairs in the rows were entirely too close together. The rows were also too small. Some people had difficulty getting into and out of the rows.The casino was very nice. Loved the smokers being in their own section! This was the first time I had come from a casino not reeking from smoke.Will definitely be back!

Do not use the pads in the room to order. Take the time and place a phone call. It will save you from having to jump out of bed to get dressed to answer the door to ask what you ordered 30 minutes before you planned to get up. This is after they called the night before to see what time I wanted the order (which was also entered on the pad).It makes you wonder how accurate the betting pads are in the casino portion. Please consider your payment method. They do take $250 immediately in case you cause damage. They are kind enough to return in 3-5 days whenever it works out . The personality at the front desk is not what I would want to represent my business, but I was kind on the front end as it really was a small thing until I had to call back. It just deviated from there.The positive - The facility is nice. I was impressed with the physical features. Beyond that, I have no words.

I have little interest in gambling, but did want a NICE, MODERN, FULL SERVICE HOTEL in Hot Springs. There is NOTHING to dislike about this hotel...clean, modern....inviting lobby w/parking valets & bell service....large beautifully appointed rooms ( with robe, slippers, and a GINORMOUS FLAT SCREEN TV, super comfortable bed and amazing art work/furnishings!I had a room with full view of the racetrack on a racing day, and mountains in the background. Nice restaurants, bars...spa facilities (massage, facials, fitness center).Front desk, restaurant/bar and casino staff were friendly & efficient...even the housekeepers/groundskeepers were welcoming and polite.My place to stay whenever i come to HS.

Rooms were well thought out and very roomy and comfy. Very nice that they were able to check us in before the horse races started and then we just walked from our room to the races. Casino was fairly large and not too crowded with machines. We had a great time!

Lots of new slot themes that made the night fun and time go by quickly. Mainline sports bar food was fantastic. Rooms were comfy and spacious. Liked the tablet to control lights and temp. The one thing that surprised me was no parking garage.

This place is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and nicely decorated. The beds are super comfortable!! Our room faced the race track, but it wasn't up and running, but imagine watching the races from the comfort of your room. The staff are the friendliest of anywhere i have ever stayed, I mean every one of them.

I can only rate based upon stopping by to have a little fun. We did not stay at the casino hotel.However, if you want a total smoke-free casino (the majority of it), this is the spot. I don't smoke, but I looked for the smoking section anyhow. Could not find it, could not smell it, it was a joy not to leave a casino smelling like stale second-hand smoke.

Went for a concert only. Lovely facility, but was surprised that most of the seating was just chairs in a standard event hall space with a stage. The seating map was deceiving , as it made it seem it was a permanent theater hall. Next concert, I’ll choose the seats in the back. Better view and better seats. The bar out front was so backed up, so we went upstairs to on the casino bars. Not full, but the guy was so slow. The two bars inside of the hall, they worked their tails off, but too a while. But at least u could stay and enjoy the show while u waited. Overall, it was good!

We didn't stay at the hotel so I cannot speak on it. We went to watch horse racing which neither of us had ever seen. The track is very nice, like a golf course. We had a great time betting on the races and am not much of a gambler. Hours of entertainment for far cheaper than going to a casino.

We had so much fun. 1st race post time was 1 pm, they opened the gates at 11. You have to order tickets online, you can't buy them at the track (but you can pick them up at will call. Will call is inside, so don't try before 11. Parking on site is $5 and you need cash, exact change. All of the betting only takes cash, but all the places to eat take cards. Every staff member we interacted with were VERY friendly. There were 9 races, from 1 pm til 510 pm. They had both 1 1/16 mile races and 6 furlong races. We had tickets in row L down near the glass (row c) and the seats were great! The first 4 races we watched from our seats because the free outside area was in full sun. Once the building was shaded we moved out to the rail. We tried watching from the infield but you can't see anything. Long story short--go. Bring cash. If you can afford it, buy tickets and sit inside for at least the hot parts of the day. Visit the paddock--you'll love seeing the horses. We WILL be back!!!

Any OTHER casino will compensate you for your stay and play. This casino will take and then take some more. You do not have free food when you play. Yes it's smoke free but there is no casino games except for blackjack and craps. On weekends you'll be lucky to find a 15 dollar table. On race days you'll be lucky to find a 25 minimum. There is another casino an hour away that offers more games cheaper drinks and will compensate a full buffet to just sit and play.

Beautiful place. Make sure you request a room with a view (horse track). You will get the chance to see them run the horses early in the morning. Burglar's food was delicious. The bar called the First turn drinks were fabulous!! There is also a heated patio. Enjoy 🙂.

Great place! Even better with NO SMOKE IN THE CASINO AREA!! I've been to plenty of Casinos in my lifetime. Can't emphasize enough how refreshing this one is without the smoke. Friendly employees, fun atmosphere. We will definitely be returning when visiting HS.

We didn't stay here, but we went to the casino there. This maybe how casinos work in AR, but the payout for exact same game with the same amount of money bet is about half of what OK pays out. We still had a great time just time we are in AR we won't spend money at their casinos and wait until we go back to OK or Vegas. Vegas pays even better than OK.

We were blown away by the breathtaking view of the track we had from our room. Not to mention, the room itself was beyond spacious and had us feeling very pampered. Every amenity had been thought of, even a scale and slippers. Will be returning, for sure. Smoke-free casino was also a delight complete with kind, helpful staff. I haven’t a single complaint for this fine establishment.

Went with a girlfriend and played till one of us lost the mad money we brought. We went early on a Friday and had our choice of where to park. We could freely move around and pick slot machines. No tables were open for black jack. There's a smoker's room which I didn't visit. There are restaurants and a hotel.

I was born in the old hospital by this race track and never have I got to go to the casino , as sec traveled back-and-forth Arkansas to Oklahoma as a kid so I finally got to go and it was a wonderful day. It is a pretty cool casino. I can’t wait to come back and visit again, and check it out better next time and get to see the hoses race next time.!

I think the only thing that I didn't like here is will. I'll get. The only two things is that they always take all my money and the smoking section is small really too small and the game's in it are really more tailored to the high spenders, not the penny slot machine you know

Beautiful first class, full service, smoke free, resort hotel & casino with all the amenities that anyone could want.Awesome horse racing track with climate controlled seating and outside seating.24/7 on-site sports, dog, and horse race betting.Free hotel guest valet/taxi service to and from anywhere in the city.Plenty of slot machines and table games.Great on site fast food outlets and restaurants.It was refreshing and wonderful to have fun without being exposed to rancid, disease laden tobacco smoke, dirty ashtrays, and ash on every surface.So good to see an intelligent business management group that really cares about the health and comfort of all their employees and customers.

Such an impressive casino! Very very nice, attracts classier clientele and the drinks are priced better than any place around, $3.50 for wells and beers! We will absolutely be returning when back in the area!

We had a good time the workers we encountered were very friendly and helpful! I even won a lil! It's very big from what I saw we didn't walk over the whole floor but it was a good time! We were surprised to know we had to pay for the drinks back home they're complimentary as long as your actively playing but that wasn't a issue we just didn't know you had to pay but great place friendly workers we'll be back!

As compact casinos go, this one is clean and comfortable. Everything feels relatively new. There's a 24 hour dining eatery available plus additional restaurants during normal hours. The place is a perfect size for Hot Springs and hosts decent performers. When you're up late with nothing else to do, head over here, get a grilled sandwich, and play some slots.

Love the racetrack. We did encounter a bartender charging customers extra for drinks, they were $5 instead of $4. She did it to us 2 days in a row, when I called her out on it she was like oh my, oops and gave us the correct amount back. Then she did it to my husband the next day, without me. Hopefully management fixed it

Definitely worth visiting. 80% of the casino area is slots, with a large sports betting area in the back. The casino is non smoking except for a closed off area with more slot machines, which is super nice. They also have some roulette, craps, and blackjack, but its only about 20 tables. Didn't see any poker so I assume it's in a different area.We had some food at the main restaurant by the casino, and they had reasonable prices. You can also walk up to the bar while you're gambling and get drinks, and they're pretty cheap. I think I paid $6 for a mixed drink. We're going to go back and check out the horse racing, the casino just wasn't for us.Also I went during my birthday month and they let you spin a wheel for Oaklawn merch and casino credits, so that was cool.

I only experienced the casino. The main area is nonsmoking. I was so happy for that. I used to smoke and had a smoker with me so we did go in the smoking area and played. It was so thick with smoke it was hard to breathe. There should be better ventilation and a warning on the door. I never saw a waitress and the lines for nonalcoholic beverages took forever. But we played for hours and had a great time.

We were on the top floor with a view of the racetrack. Beautiful room that was spacious and clean. Frankly, we loved everything about our weekend getaway! Everyone, and I mean everyone at the Hotel was very warm and friendly. They made us feel right at home. Shoutouts to the Bellman to the ladies in the bar in the lobby to the Gift Shop associates! I think the only issue, which is very minor, was there weren't enough servers in the Casino (slot areas.) I had to track them down for a Mimosa, which was way, way overpriced. We plan on coming back to the Hotel soon!

We drove over from Conway for the evening. Around 10:00pm I got hungry and decided to get something to eat at Big Al’s Diner. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and I have never in my life been served a sandwich like this! It was an absolute mess! So greasy I couldn’t even pick it up. The other half of the sandwich I was not even able to pick up it was such a mess. The sandwich was so greasy it soaked through the to go order box and left a spot on the table. I didn’t even bother to take a bite of the sandwich because the bread was SOAKED in grease. If there is a way I can post a picture I sure will! What a disgrace!
