The Blitzed Pig — Restaurant in Hot Springs

Our first time here. It looks cool. Cozy dim lit little joint. Good music playing. The band is setting up for later tonight. Waitress says we can sit anywhere we'd like so we did just that. She comes over. Asks what we want to drink and says she forgot the menus and would be back shortly. We waited. After 5 minutes or so she came back with drinks...& no menu. Oh..she forgot...then grabbed 2 menus off the bar that wasn't 3 feet away from us. She then asked if we needed more time...uh yes you JUST handed us the menu. She waited way too long to come back maybe 10-15 minutes. We then wait another 28 minutes for them to bring our food. We ordered the catfish plate and the blue burger. The catfish came WITHOUT my hushpuppies and guess what WE ARE OUT OF TARTAR SAUCE ... What? Yep we sell fish but are out of tartar sauce. What else can I get for you guys? My hushpuppies. Coleslaw is no bueno. The fries were good. When we finished eating we finally had to go hunt down the ONE waitress working the lunch rush on Friday and tell her we were done. She runs back with the check. So I said it...yes. I did that. I asked her once again when I was going to get my hushpuppies .. She said I told him to cook those. Then I asked if I had to pay for my whole meal since I didn't get it and she went to talk to the man at the bar (manager/owner) I figured. We did get a discount but we won't be back here again. Oh yeah and the lemons are so old they are dry..no juice at all came out. Very disappointing. If that was the manager he should have came...

Honestly the ONLY reason I go here occasionally is for the trivia. I would LOVE to go somewhere else, but I really value my mondays with friends. I will start off by saying, irregardless of what transpires, I blame the owner (Scott). Our group is a regular event every Monday (for years). For 2+ years we would use the restroom outside, because inside was soooo bad. Ironically tonight was the cleanest I’ve seen the restroom in 4 years. Anomalies happen. They are ALWAYS understaffed and now there is a more ridiculous policy in place, so it took a Ridiculous amount of time to check out. To make the evening even more fun, our server mouthed off to me multiple times, beginning when I asked her to bring something a person had ordered (because I was tired of listening to my table mate/bff complain about the non attentiveness of our server), culminating in another quip, saw her flip off a customer (billed as a family restaurant), then after more attitude I simply asked her to please not speak to me right now. I wanted to be under control personally. That apparently was the wrong thing to say. I was astonished at the rest. The “new” check out system is a ridiculous joke. Service is ridiculous. The lack of care for customers is non existent. If you like being somewhere you are completely uncalled and disposable, by all means, enjoy. Meanwhile they will be laughing at you or flipping you off behind the...

I rarely leave reviews, but this one is needed. Last few time’s i’ve gone, the food has been subpar, dry, and has given me food poisoning both times. Last night we ate there, and service was ok till the end. The environment was creepy for anyone not drunk. Grown men harassing women, dirty tables outside. Even if it’s outside it should be clean. When I paid the tab I sent back $30 to pay for a $22.48 tab. I would not have got my money back if i didn’t say anything because the waitress assumed it was hers to keep. To be nice, when she brought my change back I gave it all to her including an extra $2 tipping almost 50% and she just seemed annoyed. How I know she planned on keeping it? when i apologized for making her go back and forth, i said it was purely because i wanted to make sure the extra cash went to her and not the restaurant. She replies “well we split tips anyway so it wasn’t all going to go to me anyway”

To the bad part, around 1 AM my wife and I begin projectile vomiting and having straight diarrhea. Symptoms have now lasted 12 hours. I will assume from undercooked chicken or improperly cleaned kitchen utensils.

If you’re going here to get drunk, be a creep, and get shafted from your money… it’s the perfect place! Stay away if you’re looking for a decent dining...
