Wife and I decided to try some of the local cuisine for our last night out in Hot Springs. I'm so glad we did! This place was awesome. Everything from the atmosphere to the food being served was just what we were hoping for. We felt like we stepped back in time. The whole experience was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The great food just made the experience that much better! We will most definitely be back!
Sunday night @ 7pm (1 hr before closing) middle of November only 3 tables occupied. I liked everything our table ordered except the hand cut fries 🍟 ❌ as to me they taste burnt or old grease. My son got 12 Hot Spring Wings, 1/2 Bee-sting 🐝 and 1/2 Killer Bee 🐝 (he says the flavor was insane), I had the Buffalo 🦬 Chicken 🐔 Sandwich with Killer Bee 🐝 sauce (very tasty if you like spicy food), and my daughter ordered a Cheese pizza 🍕 it had a nice flavor!
Fuel up and refresh at the Spring Creek Tavern. I came and ordered the Honey Habernero chicken wings - twice. They were so dang good. On our two trips, I was also able to try the fried okra, the cheeseburger, French fries, and the house salad. The menu is perfectly simple with plenty of on-point options to enjoy down in the holler of Hot Springs, NC with a front seat view of the picturesque Spring Creek, a tributary of the nearby French Broad River. Central in Hot Springs to many AirBnbs and outdoor activities such as the Hot Springs Rafting Co. and fishing and playing in the creek.
Go ahead and order anything- it was all delicious. I gave the service a lower rating due to the fact she needed to replenish the beverages more often and was late with the condiments so the group had to stare at their hot cheeseburgers for several minutes before they could dig in. Other than that. On point.
I can’t believe it took me 6 years of living here to come in. We recently ordered from this place for a To-go meal (for seven people) and it was great! The wings were amazing, perfectly seasoned and smothering of sauce, the jalapeno poppers had just the right amount of kick, and amazing taco salad. Although there was a tiny issue with my order, the staff quickly made it right, showcasing excellent customer service. Overall, a stellar experience deserving of 5 stars!
Food and service are wonderful! I’ve read that some people say the service can be slow. It appears that your food is prepared as it’s ordered. I’ve been there twice, and my food has always been hot and fresh. The next time I’m in Hot Springs, I’ll be sure to visit again! Catfish Tacos, cheese sticks, okra, tots, Philly melt, Italian wrap, and club wrap are all delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of these. I recommend sitting by the creek if you can!

Awesome establishment right on the Appalachian Trail. They will stamp your AT passport too. The food here is amazing, the portions are huge, the beer selection is vast, the decor is fantastic, and the staff are the friendliest you could ask for. Don't miss out if your in Hot Springs, NC.
Great service and food was amazing! Huge portions! One order of tots or fry’s is enough for four people! We could only eat half our sandwiches and took the rest for leftovers! Reasonably priced and had some tasty local brews!
After soaking in the hot springs tub, we were hungry. We decided to try out Spring Creek Tavern.
This place has a great laid back vibe. We sat outside on the deck by the river. Ellin was super welcoming and a wonderful server.
Of course we tried the world famous cheese sticks. Which were pretty amazing. I also tried a couple a of dark “baby beers” (my name for them … they called them samples).
We settled on wings & tots and a pizza, classic tavern food. Everything was delicious and really hit the spot!
Ended up taking a bunch of it home with us … bonus it all reheated fabulously!
It's a tavern, and a busy one at that, I would have preferred a few healthier options on the menu, but the food we had was good. Foot long hot dog was on a toasted bun, which made it much sturdier to handle. My wife's Philly was on Texas toast, a new twist, but she liked it. The French fry order was big enough for 3, and a small shoestring fries were well seasoned and delicious.

Spent the best afternoon on the covered, creekside deck at Spring Creek Tavern!
We hung out for a few hours and ate everything and drank everything. It was a pretty awesome way to enjoy a lazy Saturday and our server was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Locals, hikers and tourists came and went and the people watching was great on the deck.
The footlong baked bean hotdog is as decadent as it sounds, we also had the pepperoni stuffed breadsticks and a massive basket of crispy tater tots. I love trying local beers and ciders when I’m on vacation and they had an amazing selection.
Highly recommend stopping by here for great drinks and a tasty meal with good people if you are in Hot Springs.
