The Shack

Hands down the best chocolate milkshake I had anywhere.

With the paucity of restaurants in and around Hot Springs Village, The Shack has become both a favorite and a staple of the food scene.  Absolutely nothing fancy here:  basically an old-fashioned "drive-in" (that has inside and outside seating now), it serves burgers, catfish, and the like.  The Shackburger is great, and the catfish is always crispy, tasty, and perfect.

Located about 4 miles north of the West (Main) Gate into Hot Springs Village on Highway 7, across from Jessieville High School, The Shack is almost always busy in the early evening (Villagers tend to eat dinner very early) and the wait can be a bit long for this type of place, but the prices are good and the food dependable.

Worth checking out.

Very good burgers!  I almost always come here when I am down here.
