I started eating at the original Grampa's in North Little Rock at least 30 years ago. They were known for having buckets of peanuts, good catfish and cold beer. The Hot Springs location opened as a franchise and ditched the peanuts. Now on their third ownership they have ditched the cold beer!!!!!!! Well, the catfish is still tasty. I'd guess... More

Love the catfish and hushpuppies! What I really enjoy is the appetizers which include the hushpuppies, pinto beans, and coleslaw which are all great. The only negative is their service isn't that fastest I've ever had at a restaurant, but worth the wait if you have time and want good catfish.

Great tasting food . The catfish and hushpuppies were terrific. You should try the fried potatoes and onions as a side. Our server was a young lady named DARA and she did a great job. She really made us feel welcome . We will be back!! BTW They also serve catfish steaks .

Was feeling like some seafood so stopped in here. The best hush puppies ever, and they serve them all you can eat with your meal. Definitely get a root beer float as well. We both got sampler platters for our meals so I'm sure everything there is delicious. Waitress was probably the best service we've ever had, super friendly staff.

My family and our best friends visited Hot Springs, AR the week of March 10th on Spring Break. We rolled into town a little late around 9 PM on Sunday and were starving. I saw Grampa's was close to our Lake house our friends owned, and called to see if they would seat 10. They were about to close but... More

Everything tasted the same- the fish, the chicken, the hushpuppies. I left with a mouthful of grease.
