Mc Clard's Bar-B-Q

It is imperative that you have the "full spread" tamales (mine would be without the onions, there are a lot of onions), in the center of the table for all to try. Then if you don't mind I'll have the sliced pork sandwich, with dressing (mayo of some kind) & the slaw. A couple of cold beers and you have heaven on a tabletop. The folks that work there are like my family, I only have opportunity to visit about once a month, but as soon as I enter- everyone says hi and asks about my daughter (if she isn't with us, she usually is). Be prepared to wait regardless of time of day- but it's well worth it. I whole heartedly recommend everything. Take someone you care about to McClard's, they will love you forever!

What can I say: this place has been around for decades and there's no mystery why: the BBQ beef/pork, tamales, ribs, and fries are to die for. The staff is as friendly as can be and you can't beat the atmosphere

PROS: Food, service
CONS:

McClard's is a local Hot Springs business made good, with a secret barbecue recipe that brings people in from all over the U.S., including celebrities and U.S. presidents. Open every day except Sunday and Monday, everyone lines up before opening to be the first to get a table. McClard's has been handed down from granddad to his children, and it is still kept in the family.

PROS: You can't go wrong with anything from the menu
CONS: Sometimes too crowded to get in

This is a must when dining in Hot Springs! They have the best ribs I've ever had. In addition to the great food, the history all over the walls adds entertainment to the meal. Countless presidents, musicians and actors have eaten here. Don't be left out!
