"If you love fresh, delicious and healthy home made foods- this place has it all. Check out their menu online as it changes monthly for the seasons which I really love and appreciate. The atmosphere is a cozy, fun, diner style where you order at the counter where you can see all kinds of sides and entrees to choose from- or you can order off the chalk board menu on the wall. I got the salad sampler where you can choose from three to four sides in the counter case (Top shelf only) and then it also comes with a small salad. If you are a fan of chicken salad I was really impressed with it, great flavor. Know any salad fanatics? this place has soooo many creative ones that are sure to impress. Parking can be a little tricky as they are always busy but there’s a lot of room on the side of the building. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for some good, seasonal, homemade dishes that you can even see before you order."

The possum pie was great! I would say this is not an ideal place if you’re trying to do some work they don’t have Wi Fi or much for options for coffee.

The food quality was excellent! Fresh and delicious. I ordered a fish wrap, mint lemonade, and then a lemon bar to-go. The atmosphere was clean, inviting, and comfortable.

I had the grilled shrimp salad and a slice of carrot cake. The food was wonderful. Super nice people and great service. There is no shortage of fried and shiny food in Hot Springs... and it was nice to find something on the healthy side but still splurge on dessert. Nice job, Cafe 1217

I ordered the Beet salad to go, which is one of my favorite treats. The Greek salad was amazing. My coworker had the shrimp salad and loved it. I tried the Egg salad sandwich and paired it with their delicious couscous salad. Every bite I've had here has been amazing. The poblano pimento cheese with tomato soup was perfection. View menu

The food was ridiculously good! We stopped in for lunch and I wish I could of tried everything! I got the grilled cheese with a side of tomato basil soup. My husband got their daily special which was a bacon cheese burger and their house chips. I'm not a big burger fan but wow, that was one of the best, tastiest, juiciest burgers I've ever tried!

This is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food. It's a must-visit for anyone who is gluten-free. I had a sandwich on gluten-free bread, which was fantastic, and the tomato soup was also a must-try. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure to inform me that the chips were fried in the same oil as gluten items and offering me a substitute. They even have gluten-free desserts available.

My husband and I are visiting Hot Springs for our 25 year anniversary. We stopped in Cafe 1217 for a sweet treat to enjoy back at the hotel after dinner and I have to say their desserts are super delicious. On top of that, the staff was friendly and kind. For us, that's just as important as the quality of the food and they did not disappoint. I definitely will return to try something off their lunch menu on our next visit. Thank you ladies for making delicious treats and for your kindness. Keep up the great work! View menu

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The establishment is clean, well-lit, and centrally located. The atmosphere is positive and inviting. The food was surprisingly delicious and the service was extremely fast. This place is awesome!! No wonder one of the staff members has worked here since the year 2000. Parking was a little tight but manageable. They had a variety of items on the menu and fresh food made daily. I most definitely recommend Cafe 1217 to anybody that lives in or is visiting the Hot Springs area.

The Dirty Martini salad at Cafe 1217 is without a doubt the best salad I have ever had. I have traveled extensively and lived in Dallas for 20 years, so I have experienced many top-notch restaurants. The ingredients are fresh and the menu changes monthly to reflect the season. The majority of items on the menu are gluten-free, which is perfect for me. I am thrilled to have discovered this cafe and although I live an hour away, I will make regular trips to Hot Springs just to dine here. I wish there was a location in Little Rock, but the drive is definitely worth it. I highly recommend Cafe 1217 to anyone who enjoys healthy, gluten-free dining. The service was outstanding as well.

"Overall our experience was a 5 star evening. The food was amazing, and the waiter was exceptional. The variety of menu items was great and service was fast but not in a rushed atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting when we return to Hot Springs. We had two issues that made it difficult to give a 5 star overall rating. We had reservations at 6pm for 2 and were seated at a small table next to another four topper. There were two lovely booths unoccupied across from us and when asked about them were told they were being held for 7pm reservations. They offered to put us upstairs, which we did, and it was a bar atmosphere with a line of very bright lights shining above us. As mentioned, the food and wait service was amazing but it put a bit of a damper on the evening, especially since we had made reservations. At $250 for two people, it would seem a reservation would allow for a nicer table. Also, at 6pm, they were out of several of their specials which is hard to understand at such an early time on a Friday evening. There was an incredible outdoor bar area that we didn't know existed and would loved to have had a drink in before dinner. Fireplace, great atmosphere, clear plastic on outdoor walls to maintain heat but allow for an outdoor experience, all the pluses! Again, loved our evening, just would have been perfect had not these two items come up."

"This was our first visit to Hot Springs, and while heading home, we decided to have lunch (or breakfast, really) at The Pancake Shop. I was initially concerned about the prices since the pancakes are ordered à la carte. However, when our food arrived, I was blown away by the massive homemade sausage patties and pancakes that covered the entire plate! Our server suggested the best way to enjoy the pancakes: cut a hole in the center, fill it with whipped butter, and then drizzle syrup all over. She was spot on! The pancakes were delicious, and I couldn't even finish mine—a rarity for me. My husband and I both opted for the cheese grits, and I have to say, I’m quite picky about grits. Most places just don’t make them well, but these cheese grits were by far the best I've ever had, even better than my own. My husband echoed my thoughts on the grits. Our two teenage boys wanted to try some and kept asking for more of OUR grits! Everything we had was amazing. After we placed our order, there was a bit of a wait, but while enjoying our meal, we understood why. The food is made from scratch, and that little wait is absolutely worthwhile. As for the pricing, the meals here are worth every penny. We left discussing how our experience at The Pancake Shop was the perfect conclusion to our trip to Hot Springs. Well done, everyone! You completely satisfied our family of five, and we will definitely return on our next visit to Hot Springs."
