Very unique food and fast service but dont go at lunch or you'll be competing with all the local business/professionals as they seem to flock there. Food was good, fresh and there was plenty to choose from. NOT for the bland eater as they have a unique blend of items on every plate. more

We decided to eat here based on the reviews on this site and weren't disappointed. The food was fresh and well-prepared. It was also different which is a good thing. My husband had the curry chicken salad which he loved. I had the gyro which was delicious. The portobello mushroom soup was also excellent. We even made room for dessert... more

Loved this place. One of my favorite Pharmaceutical reps brought me here for lunch on my last trip and I couldn't have enjoyed it more! more

1217 is a triple storefront in a small newer strip center on an otherwise shabby stretch of Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs. It is only open for lunch. It has an odd way of doing business. You line up at a glass case full of prepared entrees and vegetables like, say fresh asparagus and roasted potatoes, and choose from the... more

My favorite place to eat in Hot Springs by far. The best salads in town. I always get the sample salad which is a choice of several salads from the cold case. The rice salad is a must. Really great flavored tea and desserts too! Gotta go here! more

It isn't haute cuisine but it is the closest we've found. Everything is made fresh almost in front of your eyes, including lots of take-home dinner entrees and side dishes and very yummy desserts. We go for the sandwiches and what is almost always top notch soup. The creativity in the deli sandwiches is especially appreciated - interesting and tasty... more

I love Cafe 1217 for lunch. I usually get the tomato-basil soup served with great-tasting breadsticks. I can't wait to try more dishes there. more

So good!

I had a lovely time at Cafe 1217; however, my husband did not. He likes more what he calls "normal" food. And he does not appreciate the neat desserts they serve. Men!!! LOL Some of the food is a little spicy and as I have tried many, I have found my favorites. They will be glad to give you a... more
