My husband and I had dinner here last night to celebrate our anniversary. The experience deserves 5 stars for service and 5 stars for the food. Our waiter was great. He was very attentive and provided excellent service. My husband had the cowboy bone-in ribeye and I had the lobster tail grilled. The food was delicious. On top of that, the view of the sunset was beautiful. We will be back and I would recommend this place to friends and family.
Outstanding service and food. All who had steak said it was cooked to perfection and one of the best steaks ever! Well worth the price. Our server, Bernie, made our dinner even more special! Always try to visit when in Hot Springs!

The food was so yummy. I got the chicken florentine and it was so full of flavor! I very much enjoyed it and ate it all. I was with two other ladies and we all cleaned our plates! I would definitely go back and recommend it!
What a cool restaurant. Jason & I sat on the patio overlooking the water & the food was delicious. I suggest getting the mushrooms for the appetizer. They were the best I've ever had. The service was great too. We're fans. We'll be back!
Back Porch is one of our favs in Hot Springs. Great outdoor patio on the lake. Exceptional service and very tasty options. Ahi Tuna, salmon and red fish are so great when paired with sweet potato casserole. Try the bread pudding with a good cab! �Yum.
Had a large group of 10 people. They kept 2 servers watching over us. My drink was never empty until I left. The food was excellent and the view was beautiful. I will definitely go back.
The food, service, and the deck on the lake are awesome. Our favorite place to dine in Hot Springs.
The food was great and our steaks were cooked to perfection! Our server Amber was wonderful and went above and beyond when we realized the weather was getting bad and we needed to get our food to go at the last minute because we were on the boat..... Thank you Amber!
Mediocre service, decent food, high prices. My wife and I dropped by for dinner during the middle of the week. We were seated promptly. The waiter messed up our drink orders and my wife's salad. A larger group came in after us. He focused a lot of attention on them, and only came to check on how our entree was after I asked him to come to the table. My wife's grilled chicken had a little gristle, but it was enough to turn her off from eating more. I had the Cajun chicken pasta, which was pretty good; it would've been better with a little more kick to it. It wasn't the best experience, but we'd give the place another shot.
Best steakhouse in Hot Springs! Bone in tenderloin is my favorite. Good cocktails are a bonus. Love sitting outside for dinner here and service is amazing.
Husband and I just had dinner here. Our waiter was wonderful and the meal amazing. I had lobster and shrimp and it was succulent and sweet and lovely. Michael had the Cajun Ribeye and says it was the best steak he ever ate. It's expensive, but so worth it.
Wonderful taste. BUT the "cowboy" portion is not as thick as it was a couple years ago and it has gone up in price!
The service was impeccable and very accommodating the server kept an eye on us unobtrusively .
BEST STEAK EVER!!!! Excellent service, and excellent food. Highly recommend the filet minion wrapped in bacon!
Fastest service I've ever seen! Crab legs were excellent. Wonderful place
Love this Restaurant. Search for it, it is worth it. I have always eaten on the patio. I can't see going to a lake side restaurant and eating inside. The food is very tasty and the appetizers are even better. I have gone there and just ordered different appetizers and made the meal from that. I recommend this for adults, it has that kind of feel to it.
Been there twice and both times it was great. The filets are amazing and the orange roughy with crab on top is a must order. Great for date night or a meet up for friends.
WONDERFUL. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here! The food is outstanding! The avocado fries were a spectacular surprise! We ordered the ribeye, orange roughy, and mahi mahi. Everything had the most amazing flavor and texture! Totally worth the price. The servers are smart and friendly. I will definitely be back. :o)
Great staff!!! Cajun ribeye was divine!!! View was beautiful!! We will definitely return !!
Surprised that the score was so low!
Restaurant is clean, quiet, and unassuming. All the staff we met were polite and welcoming.
Food was great and delivered quickly! I'd recommend the "cheese and wine" dressing, avocado fries, and the ribeye. The steak was well cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. We didn't have room for dessert but it looked great too!
The next time we're in town we will be back!
Steaks and desserts are AMAZING here. Great atmosphere on the lake. Service was great too. Sides not so much. If you want salad, steak and dessert this is the place for you!
First time diner. Had the 12oz ribeye. Cooked to perfection! Deserts are hand made by pastry chef. Had peanut butter pie to die for. Very friendly wait staff. Will definitely return. One down side parking could be a problem. Hard to get in and out. Restaurant is on lower level of resort. Handicapped would be major problem.
I see most these reviews are older we have eaten there three times this summer and I agree the side dishes are nothing special but the steaks are amazing! We have had them cooked to PERFECTION each time. If you go anywhere during race season plan on being disappointed! That's like going to the mall on black Friday What do you expect? I enjoy back porch very much and am always happy to see the owner at the real fire grill!
We came in last summer and loved it!! had the sweetest little hostess! Looked about 18 with brown hair she was very nice and gave us the table we wanted with no trouble! Our waitress was petite and blonde and very nice! The food was so great! So when we came back in crew weeks ago we expected the same! We were greeted by a different hostess who was extremely rude and given a waitress we never saw! The food was still great, but note to the owner you either need your old staff back or some new ones! Overall all an okay experience, will come back again
Great fish!. The atmosphere at the BPG is really nice. Perfect place if you want a warm cozy place to talk. The mahi mahi is amazing and I love the sauce. The sauce makes the meal. Ask for a sample of the sauce to see if you like it because it is key in the flavor of the fish. Since the meals are grilled on flame the baked potato are a must have....yum! My mom and dad had steaks and said they were really good.
I notice some rough reviews on here, but after hearing the wait at Fishermans Wharf was an hour we decided to give Back Porch Grill a try. And I'm really happy we did. Great atmosphere with open grill kitchen. Took my 3 yr old and 6 month old with no problems. We each had a filet of tenderloin and loved every bite. Twice baked casserole is great also. Kids meal came with free ice cream cup so my 3 yr old of course loved her meal. Great steaks, good service, and priced about average for a steak restaurant of this quality.
I have dined all over the USA and never had as bad an experience at a restaurant in my life as I just experienced at The Back Porch Grill. The seating arrangements were atrociad as we called in for seating and still waited over 1 hour ad the front desk persons sat "locals" who had mot called in for a seating. The personal were rude and very unprofessional! In addition, the restrooms are dirty and need cleaning! DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT !
The shrimp appetizer was weak. The salad was from a bag and a little stale. However, the bone-on ribeye was one of the best-cooked steaks I have ever tasted. Very juicy, and seasoned perfectly. Do yourself a favor. Skip the appetizer menu and just order two steaks.
Great meal last night, bone-in steaks for all and perfectly cooked. Grilled scallops were a hit too.
Hotel we are staying at said they had great steaks and seafood, so we gave it a shot and had a great time. The steak with Oscar was very good and the snapper florintine was a nice suprise. We will be back again.
My girlfriend and I eat here often. We both love the atmosphere and have yet to have a bad experience. Best steaks you will ever have!
We took my daughter there for her bday it was really good . Kinda high but very good food
Incredible steaks! Avacado fries are amazing! Food wonderful. Me happy.
Go if you visit hot springs. I have been twice and both times all food has been good. The service was good. It's casual dress "it is a lake" and the menu is a little on the high end. It's worth it.
Great steaks. The steaks are the best and I loved the spin dip
Top notch. Great steak! It was melt in your mouth tender with a great open-flame taste to it. Me and my fiance had to try the fried avacado and we were not disappointed...delightful! Great bar upstairs, friendly staff, and cool atmosphere. Unbeatable!
Great steak, excellent filet and nice atmosphere. They have call ahead seating which helps!
Great Place. Casual, yet upscale food. Great ambiance and excellent service. One bit of advice: don't sit near the open pit where they cook the steaks- it gets too hot. The fried avocado is great!
Good Steak. I went here for a rehearsal dinner and we sat on the back patio with a view of the lake. I enjoyed the scenery and my steak was very good. Not sure how much stuff costs because it was all covered.
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.

Wow. My chicken parmesan was delicious. Couldn’t finish it. The 4oz steak was $23 and the 6oz was $39 due to Market Price and shortages. My kids could have eaten the 6oz but in order to get them desert, I told them to order the smaller size. As for the food, my son loved the fries and the devoured the steak quickly. My husband woofed his down too. The salad did look like it was lettuce from a Walmart bag. Maybe change up the type of lettuce used. I did appreciate how they turned the fans on outside when they realized we were hot. The waitress kept our drinks refilled and finally smiled half-way through our meal when I mentioned her complacent facial expression. These times are difficult for anyone representing a product or service as all price increases are forcing the representatives to constantly “break the news” to consumers. My advice to the owner and wait staff is if you shine ✨ through the challenges, the rewards are sure to come! Keep up the good work!
Super friendly and conscientious server. Broad menu selections. Got the loaded fries very delicious. 44$ ribeye with shrimp was below par in flavor and quality of cut. I want to go back and try the tuna. The atmosphere, cleanliness and staff would be worth another try.
We really enjoyed our meal here last night. We didn’t have super high expectations but our steaks were very good and flavorful. I recommend getting them cooked medium rare!
Lots to choose from..from burgers to seafood with an extensive bar/wine list. I recommend dining outside on the water if weather permits. There scallops and tuna is always great and the espresso martinis, (while not on the menu but bartender will make upon request) are very good.
Fantastic food! Great quality for the price. Phil, the bartender/owner is awesome! Great drinks. Nice restaurant on the water. Very clean and all the staff is very friendly. 100% recommend the marinated chicken.
