They were out of a couple items when I went, but everything I got was next level delicious. Cool atmosphere and great service!

Had high hopes but when we went, it was expensive and the food just flat out sucked.
It felt like we got scammed.

Listen, I understand everybody gotta run a business to make money but this is just sad. Want free refills? You can get tea, lemonade or water. All soft drinks are sold by the can. The average price per meal is $15 and everything is served in to go containers whether you eat in or not. The food itself? Not worth it. Got a large group going? Y’all ain’t sitting together because they have a strict policy of not moving tables.

Small portions of mediocre food, priced too high, not a good atmosphere, just overall lacking.

This place is pathetic. Service is horrendous. You stand in line and order at a register (which on its own is fine), but then they told me how I should tip them. Ordered the $17 gumbo which had a LOT of uncooked rice that I had to keep spitting out. The soda.... was in a can. Classy.......

I rarely write reviews, but this experience had to be shared. To start, I had to rate the food 1/5 stars not only because of taste, but portion sizing and quality compared to the pricing. I ordered the Cajun smothered seafood and grits and my boyfriend ordered the chicken & buttermilk waffles. While the shrimp and grits tasted great, charging $23 for that portion size is ridiculous. I’d understand if the place was a bit more upscale, but even 42 Bar & Table, a nice classy brunch spot in LR, only charges $18 for double the amount of food.

The chicken and waffles dish was just bad. The waffle was super thin, and there were just 2 tiny pieces of chicken on top. The maple syrup wasn’t real either. On top of everything, the food was served in to-go containers, we were given forks in plastic sleeves and no napkins. I’ve seen the other reviews mentioning the containers and the response by the owner, but my boyfriend has been here before and received his order on actual dishes. I’m not sure what happened between then and now, but it makes no sense that the restaurant cannot have actual dishes. How do they wash the forks? And if you can wash those, why not get dishes too?

The last complaint that I have is that there was a videographer doing promo for the restaurant while we ate, which was slightly uncomfortable. I’m sure most people don’t want to be recorded while having a Saturday brunch. At least give some warning to your customers. The overall experience does not match the price, and they overcharge for abysmally small portions. You can get better prices for more food and a nicer atmosphere elsewhere.

One of Downtown Conway’s newest hidden gems!! Ryan the owner, was amazing to visit with and he has a new coffee shop in downtown Little Rock. Homemade chicken/sausage Cajun Alfredo, amazing french fries and ooh the sides!! Yummy!! Discounts offered to College students/Military with ID. Gather your crew and fill your belly, everything is made from scratch!! No microwaves!!

I live in Little Rock. but had to go to Conway, and after reading about this place on FB, decided to check it out. I took my daughter for lunch. Ryan, one of the owners, met us at the door and held it for us (she is an adult, but has gait issues and uses a walker). He was so kind, and it made a great first impression. We ordered at the counter, and then were seated. Daughter ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich, with side of yams. I ordered the Catfish Sliders with side of rosemary fries. I don't know what folks are talking about regarding portion sizes! Our portions were huge, and almost couldn't finish; and, I can put some food away!!! Everything we had was so delicious...really tasty and not greasy at all, unlike a lot of fried foods. We ended with fresh peach cobbler, which was totally amazing. Cobbler was pricey, but when I saw the portion, I was fine; two of us could easily have shared one order. This was a wonderful experience! A beautifully decorated space, good service, and superb food. And, I like supporting small businesses as well. I'm very excited about their new coffee shop/eatery opening soon in downtown Little Rock as it's close enough for me to walk there.

Food was delicious!! I personally did not like the dressing..the fried green tomatoes and dipping sauce was fire! Cheesy grits and yams were good! Got a Cajun Alfredo Steakmelt to go for my hubby!! Delicious! Food came out in to go counters..I’m assuming they don’t have a dishwasher!

Definitely not worth the money. Some food tastes decent, some doesn’t - it’s inconsistent depending on when you go. Skimpy portions for price, feeling scammed.

Cute decor, great food! They were out of the dressing and collard greens, bummer, but just meant that they are favorites, I got the Jerk Chic Pasta, DELICIOUS!! Two things bothered me, everything is served in to go containers, that's fine, but at the prices we're paying, those containers need to be good containers, the utensils were so flimsy! And please get a cashier with a personality! Customer Service can be trained, and it needs to be with our young adults. I will not pay those prices and get looked at like I'm bothering someone! Food is great, loved the area and decor, they things I mentioned should be a easy fix. I will be back! Not gonna give up on you!

We drive 30 minutes to eat at this restaurant, I wished I had not look at the pictures and read the reviews. Food had a good taste,portion small and not worth the price. And we were served on to go plates ugh. Staff talking and visiting with each other and they need to take those old pictures off the website because that is a miss representation of what they offer. It could be a really good place if they tweaked the portions, for the price and serve on real plates.

The atmosphere was pleasant and the menu offered a fair variety of options. However, the portion sizes did not seem consistent with the pricing, which diminished the overall value. The service also appeared to lack experience, as interactions felt somewhat unpolished. Additionally, it was unclear why dine-in meals were served in to-go containers, as this detracted from the overall dining experience.
