Catfish restaurant

Mr. Whiskers is a Hot Springs favorite built on a simple “come-back-again” kind of philosophy. After owning other successful restaurants around the country, Scott Irwin (Proprietor of Mr. Whiskers) chose to return home to Hot Springs and keep alive the tradition of fresh, hand-prepared food that people genuinely love.

That return-home story shows up in everything they do. Mr. Whiskers isn’t trying to be fast food; they focus on quality, cooking to order, and using hand-prepared ingredients that keep the experience consistent every time you walk through the door.

Ask anyone who’s eaten there and you’ll hear the same refrain: the catfish is incredible, the shrimp is fantastic, and the prices feel almost too reasonable for food that’s actually fresh and made by hand. That’s the point; you can’t just walk in anywhere and get truly FRESH, HAND PREPARED food, and Mr. Whiskers takes pride in delivering what many locals consider one of the best overall dining experiences in the area.

They also bring that same quality to the community through catering for private events, which has become one of their most popular services.
