We had found Mr. Wiskers on Trip Advisor and glad we did. It was excellent! Shrimp was SO Good, catfish great, cold slaw wonderful and the hush puppies delicious!!! Wanted to pick up some on our way out of town but they are closed on Sunday.

Shocked that this is currently #1 on TripAdvisor! Catfish has the fishy taste due to the gray part (fat?) not being removed from the filet. Shrimp were good. French fries were frozen from a bag and not very good ones at that. Cole slaw is average--drowning in dressing too. What was passed off as cocktail sauce tasted like bar-b-que sauce--shame!... More

Ordered the cat fish platters. Prepared while you wait. Fish was lightly breaded with corn meal, flaky, and not oily. Creamy coldslaw and fries with skin on. Will be back.

The fried catfish, shrimp and chicken all all great.....fresh and crispy. The burger is one of the best in town. Even the BBQ ribs are tasty. Place is squeeky clean and family friendly. The owner is always there to make sure things are right.

We have been coming to Hot Springs for the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park since the 90's. We look forward each year to eating at some of our favorite places plus finding new favorites. We liked Mr. Whiskers so much we ate there twice and that's a first for us. The first night I had the combo of fried catfish... More

We had a little trouble finding it because our Garmin couldn't find it by name but we asked a local for directions and finally made it. The catfish fillets were very good and the hush puppies had just the right amount of spice, and the home made coleslaw was just right. They also make all of their own sauces in... More

I had a combo of fish, shrimp and oysters. Some of the best I have had. The fish was a large filet was light breading as was the shrimp. Excellent in every way. I will definitely be back. I wish I had eaten here last night so I could come back sooner.

We ate at Mr. Whiskers before going to the track. My husband had the grilled catfish which came with a salad and black beans. The fish was done to perfection, the beans were nicely seasoned and the salad dressing was tasty and the salad had lots of black olive slices. I had the Angus burger which had freshly ground beef...

Had to try this new place, it's listed as #1 best in Hot Springs. The fried catfish WAS delicious. Fried to perfection! But the hamberger was just so so. It was the meat. Not so good. I was distracted when I saw the great burger balls in the meat counter and ordered one. Hubby had the fish - fish was... More
