Hot Springs, AR guys.....what's open 1/1
4 years ago some friends and I started taking a New Years Day ride. This year will be from the Shreveport, LA area to Hot Springs, AR for lunch. Now it is all about the ride, but I'd rather not eat at a fast food joint. Problem is that I don't know what's there that would be open on New Years. Would some of you that are familiar with the area be able to make some recommendations?
Thanks, Ride Safe

Not sure what will be open but I have to ask, will there be snow that time of year? Last year I was stationed at FT Polk La and we went to Branson for thanksgiving and on the way back decided to go through Hot Springs and it was snowing. Not sure what the weather is that time of year but figure I would through it out there. You planning on taking HW 7 starting in El Dorado AR?

Don't know if it's open or not, but (I think) on the North end of town just off the highway, they have a place that has a great buffet. First place I ever ate where the buffet had frog legs. Yummy!!!
Wife and I got married there in February of 2006. In the middle of an ice storm. The entire town shut down. I mean SHUT DOWN. Staff at the hotel wouldn't come to work, so we couldn't even get clean linen. So we honeymooned in Eureka Springs after an all day, scary as hell, drive up Hwy 7 to get there. Ice was so thick, it looked like 6" of snow had fallen.
BE CAREFUL!!!

You mean that little pizza/Italian food shop next to the Best Western Hotel? If yes that is quite a nice little place.
