Hot Springs Restaurants

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.
