This first trip of visiting Emma Lee’s was simply beautiful and amazing. It’s a family attraction and everyone is so friendly and thoughtful. The food is very delicious. As stated on their business card: “Emma Lee was Courtney Sanders grandmother. She had a passion for cooking for people in the neighborhood. She also loved cooking for the less fortunate and those unable to prepare their own. Every dish was served with love and you can taste it. Before she died, she gave her secret recipes to Courtney. These family recipes are shared with the community thus continually sharing her legacy. They want you to come and taste the love and make you feel at home” If you hadn’t visited this wonderful family owned restaurant, you will definitely need to make the trip. We definitely will be going back over and over again!!!! This married couple are teachers during the week and continue their dedication to the community on the weekends. They both definitely fit the scripture ” We are our brothers keeper”!!!!

Really great family owned and operated Southern Soul Food restaurant. The family is so nice and accommodating. The food is great. I would recommend checking what is the menu for the day before going. Don’t show up to find out they don’t have what you want that day.

The coveted five ⭐ stars. I would consider this one of those hole in the wall places you see on the food channel where they give rave reviews about the food and staff. This is family run business that operates on all cylinders. We came on a Sunday and we were immediately greeted by their children at the door. They had impeccable manners. Once you stepped inside, you were greeted by the smell of Southern cooking. The smells of freshly cooked collard greens to smoked ribs to ox tails. I knew right there I wanted to try everything on the menu. I opted for the Ox tails with yellow rice, corn bread, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. My wife got the meat loaf, collard greens, and candied yams. The staff was super friendly and gave us portion sizes meant for royalty. The prices were very reasonable. We sat down and the owner came out to ask how the food was. I have had some great ox tails in Birmingham, Alabama but hers was the best ever. All of the food was was extremely good and made for a great Sunday lunch for my wife and I. We will definitely be back.. my only complaint was the bottled drinks and parking. I love an all you can drink fountain drink option and I would love if there was more parking.

Great food, super friendly family owned and operated. A hidden gem. We were there for Thanksgiving dinner. The buffet had more to offer besides the standard turkey and dressing. We’ll probably never cook at home for the holidays again.

A very welcoming friendly place to grab a good old fashioned Southern plate lunch! Usually just opened on Sunday. Check your website or Facebook page to be sure. You select your choice of me and vegetables in a short line greeted with very friendly staff.

This place is beyond awesome!. As soon as you walk through the door, everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE welcomes you in. They make you feel like family. Then comes the food. Many different options with outstanding side dishes. I have tried everything they offer over the last year and it is all fantastic! Best kept secret in Hot Springs. I am proud to say this is one of my favorite places to eat in the whole city. You will not be disappointed at all. LOVE IT!!

If you’re in Hot Springs over the weekend stop here. The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, and the portions are generous. The sampler platter is the way to go, 3 meats and 5 sides! I could eat their fried chicken for days, it is perfect.

I don’t understand why all the rave reviews. My family ate there a few months ago on a Sunday. It was a buffet then and the food was terrible. It wasn’t being replenished and some of the food was dried out. I got brisket and it almost wasn’t edible. All I know is that it was not good that day. Only bottled drinks and water. Plus I was over charged. I think it was $11.95 and my total was over $18. I think it was because there was a child manning the register. Am afraid to try again.
