“ One secret to finding good food when traveling is to ask the locals where they eat. This was the case today. Somebody recommended we go there and try the grouper fried fish sandwich. His only about 13 and it was amazing. You can tell from the pictures that it's water side dining and the views were amazing. We had picturesque weather so dining outside was fantastic. Service was great food came out hot and fresh. Also pictured is the popcorn shrimp Po boy, and the triggerfish which my brother-in-law said it was 10 out of 10. If I'm back in Hot springs I will definitely return to fisherman's wharf. ”
“ Visiting Arkansas for the first time! This place was so yummy, I had their crab sandwich (fried) and it was so tender and soft. First time I had oyster with my friends and they were surprisingly good! Storm passing through town and our servers were absolutely amazing. Thank y’all ! So good I forgot to take before pictures! ”
“ My wife and I visited Hot Springs for the week, last day here we stopped by FW. We sat outside and despite a little wind, the deck was prepped with heaters and weather shields that could be brought down at a moments notice. The signature drinks were fabulous, notably the Mermaid Punch and Sailing Kalie. We enjoyed the gator bites and bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp. The food was delicious, waitress was pretty attentive and nice. If you like seafood, I definitely recommend giving this place a go. I think next time, we'll enjoy the indoor atmosphere and decorations - fun to look at going out and back in from the deck. ”
“ Pretty sweet little hidden gem right on the lake! Dining-in areas & a spacious (dog friendly) patio to enjoy the lake. Little families of ducks & turtles will swim up to the patio in hopes of food & are pleasant to watch. Enjoyed the catfish platter w/ some smashed taters, classic fried okra, & puppies of hush. Thanks to our server, Zane, for such pleasant southern hospitality & for a returnable experience! ”
“ I had the absolute best crab stuffed broiled shrimp ever! My husband's fried shrimp and catfish were great! The broccoli salad was yummy with it's honey mustard dressing. The hush puppies were tubular in shape; the flavor just okay, sweet but not overly tasteful. The calamari was wonderful! Great food, atmosphere and service! Definitely a great place to add to your travel itinerary! ”
“ Well worth the 45-minute wait on a busy Saturday night! There is a full bar to serve you while you wait, and once we were seated we had drinks and an appetizer on the table almost immediately. Our server was great! We ordered a little bit of everything, but the crab legs definitely stood out with how delicious they were! We sat on the patio and it was very clean and the tables were well-spaced. It may be too loud for some people with the fans blowing and talking from other tables but we appreciated the “white noise” and had no problem carrying our own conversation. We would’ve eaten here again if they weren’t closed on Monday’s! ”
“ The food is great and the portions are HUGE and delicious! I would have been happy with Three Choice Sampler as an entree. We ordered the clams, fried pickles and popcorn shrimp. Spouse enjoyed the fried catfish entree and I enjoyed the Seafarer’s Platter. The only problem was the portions are so big we couldn’t finish them and embarrassingly had to leave a lot behind. Ashley, our server, was great! This is a very popular restaurant. Get here early (we arrived around 5:30) or you’ll have a bit of a wait. We didn’t have reservations but while waiting for our ride I heard some folks talking about their reservation. ”
“ Fisherman’s Wharf was very good! The blueberry lemon drop was delicious. The stuffed shrimp was “fire” according to my husband, and I had the popcorn shrimp which came with a variety of sauces, which I loved. Lalo was a great server, kind and knowledgeable, but didn’t bug you too much. It was a great place to visit. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll come again! ”
