BubbaLu’s Christened AR’s “Cheap Burger” by MSN

BubbaLu’s is starting off their 15th year in business by being named MSN’s “Where to Find A Cheap Burger in All 50 States” winner for the state of Arkansas. MSN’s article states “not surprisingly, lines form fast at the 50s style diner, but it’s a restaurant that’s worth the wait.”

Owner’s Jeff and Ginger Bastin were surprised by the honor as they never knew it existed. Ginger said “It’s fun to think our food is considered cheap because we use the best ingredients available, including Certified Black Angus Beef and Arkansas grown tomatoes.”

Positive reviews have been stacking up for years on TripAdvisor’s website which has listed BubbaLu’s in its Hall of Fame for five consecutive years of consistently high rating from travelers.

Spring is in the air so lines will begin to form with first time visitors, return customers, excited kids on vacation and local fans. Astrid P. from Texas stopped by last fall and left a 5-star review stating “My husband and I both had the ‘Cry Baby’ burger with serrano and habanero peppers! Delicious burger and very hot! Fries were nice and crispy and to top it off the workers were very friendly and cool! Love this place – five stars all the way!”

BubbaLu’s is located at 408 Central Avenue in Historic Downtown Hot Springs. Find them on Facebook. If you’ve not yet tried BubbaLu’s Bodacious Burger or Classy Dog, do yourself a favor and join them for lunch. Tell them The Springs Magazine sent ya’!
