“If you haven’t tried this place yet, you are missing out!! We had my son’s Rehearsal Dinner here last week, the food and service was top notch! Toni was so great to work with and made everything so easy!! They took care of everything!! HIGHLY recommend for any event or just to grab lunch!!“

“I haven’t had the pleasure of eating there, but this company donated for my friends water heater who has cancer during hurricane Helene. Definitely good people. Thanks again!“

“My husband and I had tasted some chicken salad at a family event someone brought. It was so good we went to the one in Conway and were amazed at their menu. We are going to be frequent customers so we can try everything! So far everything has been delicious ❤“

“I’ve driven by this hidden gem hundreds or maybe thousands of times and didn’t even know what I was missing. This place is incredible! Somehow they have fried food that isn’t greasy—even my napkin didn’t collect any grease. The food doesn’t all taste the same—lots of flavor here. The sweet tea is to die for and OMG the desserts?!! It’s about a 45 minute drive for me now and WELL worth it. If ya go, take cash for sure. Highly recommend!“

“My husband surprised me with a date night and we drove the 30 minutes to Conway to a restaurant I'd never heard of. We went on a Friday night around 6pm. we were seated immediately, the atmosphere was eclectic and unique. I loved that it was able to be an intimate experience as you don't get that often anymore. Our server was knowledgeable and sweet, taking care to give us any detail we asked. we had the margharita flatbread as an appetizer, shared the chopped salad, and I had the smoked chicken, collard greens and carrots. My husband had the surf and turf type meal with mashed potatoes and green beans. We were told (thankfully) to leave room for dessert so we planned carefully and shared bread pudding. Please believe me when I explain this: every single freaking bite of food that went in our mouths was SO GOOD. I wish i could explain that further but I'm going to keep the review PG 🙂. We even brought home a 2nd dessert and ate it the next day (and enjoyed the rest of the leftovers from dinner). We will definitely return when they move to their new location. Thank you for a 100% amazing experience.“

“Sorry to say that yesterday was my first time in this place, wow wow wow! If your granny could cook….I bet she didn’t cook as good as Hollys Country Cookin . I don’t eat pinto beans…I ate hers, they were the first thing gone! I don’t eat non jiffy cornbread…I ate every bite of her old fashioned jalapeño cornbread, country fried potatoes were delicious, and so was the cabbage, both thighs were southern fried perfection, I was in a complete food coma after this meal. I have been a chef for 23 years and no stranger to growing up eating these dishes, but they are rarely this good all at the same time! we will definitely be back to support this outstanding place. Hats off!!!“

“Cracker Barrel is the best place in conway We went again yesterday and I'll say the service is wonderful top notch. they are on top of everything!! will definitely be back. Appetizers are out of this world Food is Absolutely Amazing Gareth our waiter I hope i spelled his name correctly“

“It was absolutely one of the best BBQ meals we have had in a long time. definitely get your money's worth. we will for sure be back!“

“would not ever eat here again the kitchen staff is friendly and cook amazing food but the servers and owner are rude if you really know them! some of the fakest people I've met in a long time. daughter runs it and mom(owner) is never there to see what is happening and takes 20 year old daughters gossip as is. runs off really good servers and people because of daughter. wouldn't 't support their business! @all my friends and family and people I know! @patio cafe since they blocked me!“

“I had to write a review for GC! Sometimes we DoorDash a meal instead of cooking and most places are hit or miss. GC is fantastic when you want a real meal delivered to your door and actually cheaper than cooking for 2. The servings are large and much bigger than Cracker Barrell. Almost enough for 2 meals! Everytime they have been a winner with thier pot roast, meatloaf, bourbon chicken and fried chicken. We have never been missing items unlike Cracker Barrell. If you DoorDash I highly recommend!“

“The food was perfectly cooked. Service was fast and they brought the food to our table. Very accommodating!!“
