Bleu Monkey Grill

Best burgers and sliders. Over dozen domestic and imported draft beers. Good service and good food. Good price

This was our second visit, two years apart. The menu is huge and reminiscent of Cheesecake Factory. Everyone enjoyed their food, from spicy fish tacos to steak. The free bread with olive oil didn’t seem to fit the eclectic menu. Our waitress offered a poor beer suggestion, describing a very hoppy IPA as a honey wheat.

Lunch special 3 cheese pasta was so good & a very big portion, fries were good… bread & pesto was awesome. My friends got a cheeseburger & the fish tacos which they both loved– we would definitely recommend it!

Food is really good but don’t plan on calling in a Togo order, I tried for 20 minutes and only got a busy signal, went down there, they were not busy. I called their number at least 20 times while I set there for 25 minutes waiting on my Togo order. Still got a busy signal, when o I told this to the bartender she just laughed

Ehhh… Decent prices and good portions. The two times we have ate there the food was only ok.

Ordered the Chicken& Bisquit. The grilled chicken did not even taste like chicken and t was very rubbery The cream potatoes were delicious as was the loaf of bread before the meal

While visting hot springs my wife and i checked this place out and it was good 1^st our server Chris was great. Sooo friendly and gave some great tips on what to see. In hot springs and his service was on point. The good was very good another server gave my wife and I as good laugh as we watch her throw her self at a guy while he was trying to enjoy a meal with his son

Had a late lunch here today. First time to go here. I had heard good things about this place. I ordered fish and chips. I got a greasy platter of burnt fish. Firtst and last time to go to Bleu Monkey Grill.

I started out not so excited to eat here. Usually when the menu is kind of all over the place with different types of cuisines it’s not good.
Started out with the corn tamale cakes & they were so good & plated beautifully! I was going to take a pic but dug in too quick! I was very surprised at how good they were. Next I had the shrimp tacos w/​mango salsa and boy oh boy was that delicious! Very happy I came here reluctantly & may come back before our vacation is over!

They serve bread and pesto/​olive oil as a starter, which being our first visit we didn’t know. So we ordered the Monkey Nachos (awesome and huge). My husband ordered the Kobi burger and I got the Ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. The Monkeyrita is good but you may want to share, as it comes in its own fishbowl. Overall a great experience and we’ll definitely visit again.

I’ve been a few times, and it’s certainly not a bad place… but it’s not exceptional in any areas either. It’s stand out is it’s menu, which is bigger then most places and has many different types of entrees. I’ve yet to try anything that made me fall in love with the place though.

Bad ass food. Awesome price. Will be coming back. Visited with 2 small kids and absolutely no problems. Will be back

The food and atmosphere were nice.

Had a great experience eating here yesterday! My mother and I both had the firecracker shrimp special with fried plantains on the side. My aunt had the Cobb salad. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service! The firecracker shrimp was absolutely delicious !!! Being from NYC I’ve had plenty of Spanish food and when I say the fried plantains were some of the best I’ve ever had that means a lot !! I recommend asking for limes on the side to squeeze on the plantains, as that just makes them even more delicious! Our waiter was a delight, he was funny, very attentive and a pleasure to have wait on us. He was very informative on the foods and even gave us some tips on where else to go on our trip here at Hot Springs!

Had the jambalaya while a different style of presentation (more like stir fry) was tasty. Also had the jalapeño talapia, would say meh on this one…
Service good.
Seems like the menu was based off of top dishes from chains across the us. Southwest Egg rolls from chilis, mac n cheese balls from cheesecake factory, etc

Meh. I was not impressed and wouldn’t go back. The atmosphere was like a typical chili’s chain and the food was just mediocre. Next.

Visiting from Wisconsin, read mix reviews but seen enough positive to give it a try. Big mistake, my entire crew got sick from the food.
I order fish tacos, bland no flavor mushy gobs of slimy fish on a stale corn taco, even the black beans lacked any flavor.
Chicken biscuit, one huge way too big of portion. Decent tasting but still got sick within hours.
Bleu monkey ship was on exception, spicy and delicious.
Stay clear if unless you want to get sick and over charged for fancy plating with no taste.

Sauces need more flavor but the wings were amazing. We ordered shrimp with angel hair pasta, bleu monkey shrimp, and hot wings. Definitely want to come back and try to ice cream that I have heard so much about.

One of my favorite restaurants in Hot Springs. Visited on a Saturday, the place was packed, but still got prompt service. The food came out super quick and the drinks were very good. Highly recommend the shrimp!

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve been in and the quality for my group of 4 today was well below all of our expectations, seems quality has changed since 2013 — Again I had sirloin steak, medium, loaded mashed potatoes, and sweet corn. They bring a nice bread with olive oil dipping sauce which was very nice in the even brought a second loaf of bread and that was the best part of my meals we wer a party of 4 and I’m sorry to say we were all disappointed in our meal hubby had the exact same meal he had in 2013 the only difference is that he got a ribeye, medium rare and I had the sirloin steak last time 5 stars this time 2.
And my sister ordered shrimp bisque and a Cuban sandwich which the menu described a yummy sandwich which she was not she was served. I tried it was was not happy either it was on a pita bread which seems very odd from the other ways I’ve ever had a Cuban sandwich, with onion rings that were good. The chocolate cake tasted like it was a frozen cake and small really a small piece, ugh, come on if your gonna eat a chocolate cake it needs to be a big piece to go along with the guit… I’m just saying.
Sweet tea tonight was not good and not sweet. 4 I’d us though it tasted off and not sweet… So since they have a bar I asked for some simple syrup they don’t have any simple syrup? seriously? how can they make cocktails without a simple syrup. I’m no bartender but come on hot water and sugar then you got simple suryp, that issue was probably a half a star right there!
I won’t be going back anytime soon I hope if you decide to go there you have a much better experience than I but I will say the décor is really nice and the place was hopping tonight. Happy Eating!
