Lunch and Dinner
The best seafood in Hot Springs and with a lakeside view! You can go by boat or by car. They have a large menu with a variety of fresh fish selections, steaks, and more. Great healthy options, but also a great place to indulge in a splurge on your diet as well!

CELEBRATE$$$!! This is a dinner location that is a little on the fancier side! It's not cheap and its not a casual setting-- sunday best attire or better. The ONLY location for celebrations and special occasions in the downtown area. Call ahead for reservations! They go pretty quick on the weekend. If all they have left is "by the kitchen seating" we actually like that area if it's a last minute reservation. You literally get to watch the kitchen line and head chef do their thing! It's a little loud back there, but still a great meal and kind of interesting.

Coffee Fix
THE BEST COFFEE IN HOT SPRINGS!!!!! If you love really bold fresh coffee, this is your spot! Amazing cold brew, strong espresso drinks, and not overly sweetened so you get a great balance between the coffee flavor and sweetness if you drink mocha's or flavored lattes. Their coffee is roasted and supplied to them by Arsaga's in Northwest Arkansas. Take a bag home if you love it! It's great coffee no matter how it's brewed!

Closest Starbucks to the yurt. I prefer Mugshots Coffee personally, but if it's Sunday and Mugshots is closed, Starbucks will work.

This is our favorite place to go and kayak or canoe the Ouachita River. The Ouachita River is absolutely beautiful with very clear water. We usually take fishing stuff because the fishing variety is good. This place is the best place to rent from. They can trailer your kayak or they have rentals available. I would definitely get online or call ahead to rent. We always do the 4 mile float from Barbie back to the resort because it's long enough to where you can make it last all day but short enough to where you can get done with it!
