We called in advance if they could seat a party of 16. When we get there, they had no idea what we were talking about. They said give them 15 minutes; 50 minutes later still not seated. No apology whatsoever. I also would give a ZERO review.

If I could leave zero stars I would. We have been waiting over an hour as of right now. We have drinks and finally got our appetizer of fried pickles. They had pieces of chicken and French fries in them and taste like old grease. You cant seem to find a waitress for a refill, but let a table get up and leave and 3 ppl are there to get the tip and clean it up. Everyone around us has been waiting for an hour+ also. The lady beside me got her salad and asked for dressing and the girl who brought it replied " I'm not the food runner so...." and walked off. I wish we had read the reviews before we sat down because this is ridiculous. Do NOT WASTE your time or money!!

We saved Fat Jacks for our final night in Hot Springs because it sounded amazing. Oysters on the half shell were very good. After that...the entrees of etouffe & gumbo were very salty, not spicy AND made with fake seafood! My husbands bourbon & water had just enough liquor in it slightly tint the water. My margarita I’m pretty sure had NO tequila. Total waste of my time & money!

Fun atmosphere. Pets welcome on patio. Located at the end of the line for shopping on the main drag. Food good. Not great, but good. Nice place to relax, have a drink or eat, after walking the main drag before turning around to go up the other side of the street.

I would give a zero if I could. Worst experience I've had in a really long time. We like to eat local and they appeared to have a good atmosphere but that's where it ends. We had horrible service from our waitress. No refills for two hours, no silverware, barely could get her to come take our payment for the check. Wait over an hour for food, waitress said the kitchen was backed up, but when we finally got our food it wasn't even warm. It had been sitting there for who knows how long. Absolutely awful.

Gumbo is great, staff is friendly, bar is divey. Bikers gawking at me when I walk in is a little daunting, but an overall great bowl of gumbo and fried fish. Definitely one of the nicer tourist restaurants I've been to.

Felt overpriced for the quality of food received. I mean it wasn't awful but there was nothing special about it..I had the chicken pasta and it tasted like my crockpot chicken spaghetti with absolutely no Cajun seasoning. Sister ordered a $12 crawfish bread and it was literally two pieces of bread with crawfish and cheese melted on to it...again..nothing special about taste or presentation and definitely not worth the money spent. Server was nice but didn't understand how to split our check.
