Best waffle I’ve ever eaten!!! That’s a big statement for me because I am a waffle snob!! lol My breakfast was amazing! The eggs and bacon were made perfectly! You can tell that they are high quality items by the taste! My husband had corn beef hash and he said it was delicious. He was hooked on the rye bread!! He would give his breakfast a 5 stars as well!!! Our waitress Alicia was a very sweet waitress who was engaging and a really nice person to talk to! Thank you Alicia for your amazing service!! My husband and I would highly recommend this place even if there is a wait!!! You won’t regret it!!!

The food and the service were great. They were busy, but our waitress did an amazing job tending to our party timely. I ordered the half waffle, steak, and eggs platter, and it was extremely filling. The coffee was also great. I'll certainly be back when in town.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! The staff is so kind and very efficient. Upon entering this place I had no expectations, but somehow they were surpassed. The atmosphere was so cozy. Reminded me of eating at your grandmas house! The hostess was on top of everything. She was very helpful and so lovely. Wasn’t a horrible wait and definitely worth it. The food was so delicious and such a great price. I honestly don’t think I have ever eaten something so fast. Yeah I was hungry, but it was just SO GOOD!!!! I got the Adult Deal (no eggs) with 2 chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. I would come back to Hot Springs just for this place, definitely would recommend it to anyone.

The food was great. Very good coffee. I had a country fried steak, tender inside, crisped to perfection outside. Biscuits are so fluffy and good. Hubby had an excellent buckwheat blueberry waffle and my daughter had steak and potatoes and the steak was tender and delicious! Would definitely go there again.

A gem in Hot Springs! By far one of the best places to have breakfast in the area. The spinach omelette had really good flavor, as did the ham steak, sourdough bread, coffee, and cappuccino! Plus, the atmosphere is southern in nature, and just a nice family feeling. The waitresses were all super friendly and fast. Couldn’t of chose a better spot! Also, the Arbol pepper sauce that they have awesome. Just don’t put a lot of it on! Super spicy.

Pros: Huge portions of food! Prices are reasonable. Very small restaurant, so be prepared to wait, but they give you a buzzer that you can around with you in the other shops until your table is ready. It reaches a surprisingly long distance from the restaurant, too! Good old-fashioned southern cooking. I would recommend the Wagon Train Breakfast plate for anyone who wants to share! Con: Drinks are very expensive here. 2 coffees 7.50. Milk 3.50. OJ 4.99 Over half of our 50.00 bill was just drinks.

These people know how to do breakfast up right! The waitresses were friendly and very prompt. The food was cooked perfectly. That bacon was top knotch. Everything we ordered hit the spot. The location is only about a block away from the Arlington where we stayed so very convenient. Will definitely be back.

A really great restaurant for breakfast. The staff were super friendly and attentive. We arrived at 11:30ish, had a little wait (maybe 10 mins) before being sat. The place is small, but cozy. Very cabincore vibes. The food was fantastic. I went with the corned-beef hash, easy eggs, and toast, as well as a half of waffle. Great salty flavor for the hash! It really hit the spot. Equally good, the waffle a mellow malty flavoring that was fluffy and not dense. The fact that you could order a half of waffle to being with was a great thing for me.
