Love Zuma, especially for Wednesday Open Mike night, followed by great live music on Thursday nights. It has the feel of a favorite local gathering place, I always look forward to going there when we are vacationing in Hot Springs.

Just love the guys in the back. Friendly as usual taking my order to go, over the phone. Everything ready at the time I asked. (do give them extra time at busy hours). Spaghetti and MBs and Greek Spaghetti are both so good. Dinners come with garlic knots and salads. Good food and friendly service. One of our favorite places to take out and eat in.

Madason was our sweet waitress. She was friendly and service good. Love the cheese omelet and grits are good. Only complaint that it is sooooooo loud. The gal stacking the dishes didn't seem to care we couldn't hear across the table. Loved the patriotic decorations too.

I have been here so many times and am never disappointed. From the working mans lunch to the poor mans supper....nice smiling service and super vegetables! Who would eat fast food when you can go to the wagon wheel....just a mile off the exit on i26....and consider the detour up North Main Street back to i26 for a beautiful short excursion through a neat little mountain university town.

Kim, the manager had her hands full training 2 new people. She was patient and was juggling it all with ease. There was a lot of trouble at register trying to figure out how to credit the $1 off special sent to me via Subway. After re-doing the sale, the receipt makes reverence to the $1 off footlong, but it was never credited. I didn't have the heart to say anything again. Shame on Subway to offer members weekly deals and no one knows how to get the receipts adjusted. We had a good lunch and that was the bottom line. I rated the sub a 4 star only because the new fellow was very sparse with ingredients, but it was tasty.
