The food is amazing. The staff is very nice. This is the only place we go to for seafood. The crawfish chowder is to die for.

Dude, I love this place Kristen. You're an amazing bartender and server. Thank you for the wonderful service.

We started eating before I remembered to snap a picture. The crab legs were hands down the absolute best. Highly recommend. We were there on a busy night (1 ye new ownership anniversary), 2 hrs to get our food. However the service absolutely made up for it. Great staff who also seemed to enjoy working here.

I would recommend to anyone who likes to eat every thing we had was amazing. We started with the fried alligator as an appetizer then we split the captain's plate the crab legs were good as well as the shrimp and the bodan. Everything was just a 10/10 and the staff were amazing they showed us how to peel the crab it was amazing.

The alligator bites and shrimp and grits is great! The fried platter is also very good! This is the place to go! Very clean and great service!

This is a great, local and out of the way place to eat-drink-and enjoy your evening. It's probably the best location in Hot Springs for boiled and fried seafood. Service is good and friendly and the inside is a rustic mix of seafood shack/dive sports bar. It's really perfect for this kind of place. Not pretentious, just focused on good food and service. I had the char grilled oysters which were excellent. Slightly more cheese than I would normally expect, but that's hardly an issue. Food was not inexpensive but seemed appropriately priced for the quality. The only surprise was the pricing on the pitcher of beer. Both me and my dining partner thought it was higher than we expected. All in all, I'll be back. Limited hours, so check before you go!

Catfish, crab legs, shrimp and more. If you're wanting some great Cajun seafood . They really know how to cook and you can taste the delicious. Make sure to check the specials board on the wall. We were checked on regularly by the great friendly folk as at Ward's The Crawfish Hole. A really nice place for dinner.

Service was terrific, food was great- crawfish was not in season, and prime rib was sold out. But we got got the ribeye steak- excellent. Coleslaw perfect. All the side were great too. Brought home dessert- bread pudding and key lime pie also great. Obviously a locals spot- worth a stop if I'm the area- we were visiting area- but will go back next time we are near. Will go early for the prime rib!

This place is legit so far off the beaten path, but worth a trip! They have their own parking lot & the place looks like a locals spot. And it definitely had mostly locals inside They were super busy but staff was attentive & friendly! They post their daily specials on the chalkboard in back & most everyone gets seafood here. We got a pound of crawfish & the combo platter with shrimp, crab, 2 potato & corn Fyi, rocky mountain oysters are not oysters on the half shell before you embarrass yourself like me :) Food came out pretty fast and we made a sufficient mess of ourselves peeling & cracking it all. It was plenty of food for 2, no leftovers though. Seasoning was excellent & everything served hot!

Great little "out of the way place". Advertised as a store, Wards is actually a restaurant. Clean and comfortable inside. The staff are attentive and friendly. Leans toward a Cajun menu with a great burger as well. We ordered the crawfish etouffee.... had great flavor and a lot of crawfish tails. Snow crab was flavorful and the fries are coated in a fishery like seasoning and are really good. Their crawfish are great but we just missed the end of the season for those. The fried shrimp are very fresh and have a light , crispy coating with great flavor. They also have, frog legs, alligator bites, boudin sausage, gumbo, and several other items. Prices are very reasonable and very generous portions. Fun place with good creole /Cajun food. Give it a try ... you won't be disappointed.
