I travelled to Hot Springs this week, and Back Porch Grill was recommended to my group by previous visitors. It was beyond 100° Real Feel temp outside, so we opted to sit indoors, but they do have outdoor seating on an uncovered deck by the lake, which would be a lovely setting in more accommodating temperatures. The actual grill is open and visible to most/all patrons seated indoors, and I felt like that made the room a bit uncomfortably warm in these summer temps. Our server was a charming and friendly man–I think his name is Ernie, but I could be wrong. He was helpful in our decisions on what to order, which I always appreciate! I decided on the Red Snapper that was covered with a Cajun cream sauce, and it was sooooo good! It was a large portion and came with a salad and a potato side, all for about $32 (not including drinks). One friend ordered the least expensive steak (flat-iron?), and another got a pasta with shrimp and chicken. Everyone liked their food, and I would definitely go back, although it’s all a little pricey for my liking (you could easily spend $50-100+ per diner, if you wanted, but there are lots of options that fit in the $30-50 range). If you’re a steak person, it’s probably going to be right up your alley, though! I think for me, their seafood is where it’s at.

Dishonest location. We were presented with a menu and then we’re told that those were not the prices. I did explained to the server that this was illegal. They were apologetic but still charged us some other prices and on top of that charged us extra for one of their sides and were not even told verbally about it.

We were told that this would be a good place to eat by a local in Hot Springs. We unfortunately couldn’t disagree more. The menu was lacking and the prices were exorbitant. A bone in Porterhouse was 89 dollars and the mediocre pasta choices were also ridiculously overpriced. My wife ordered a sweet potato as an additional side to her chicken and it was six dollars and it was 1/2 of the smallest sweet potato in history. The service was good and we sat on the back porch for the “view” and it was shades drawn and the view was two different condo units. So if you want a steak please go to Texas Roadhouse and have a better steak at a fraction of the price with a whole sweet potato.

Ok, so steak was worth it. Appetizers were good. I didn’t care for the blue cheese dressing but other than that salad was good. Setting was very casual, paper napkins, laid back wait staff but food was good. Prices were not cheap but could use table cloths and cloth napkins to set accurate ambiance.

Wait staff was superb. Too bad meal didn’t match the service. Food was mediocre at best. The red fish was tough….overcooked, and not hot. Desserts were good. The bread pudding was fine. Having traveled and eaten in various places all over Hot Springs, this place falls below par. Based on the price, being most expensive, this should have been the best. As I said, was middle of the road.

Terribly tough steak. Complained to the owner and he made a scene screaming. He screamed call the Police over and over when I told him the steak wasn’t fit to eat. He put his hands on me shoving me in the back while screaming. Horrible experience from a man who should not have contact with the public.
