I was looking forward to trying this food after seeing all the pictures and hearing good things from other people. The server ended up messing my order up with another table, which would’ve been fine had she addressed it. But I had to ask her myself for the food to be remade because I ordered a blackened chicken Cajun pasta and she gave me the Rasta Pasta. The two plates did not look alike at all. She gave my food to the other table AGAIN. It was handled very poorly. No manager came out to give me an update on my food and I had to be the one going up to the counter to check on my food. In the end, I ended up just going to Wendy’s instead. Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time.The server was not trained properly. When I was asking questions about the menu before ordering, she seemed to be making up answers and didn’t seem like she actually knew what she was talking about. Sad to say I probably will not be back.

The food was outstanding and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. Friendly staff and decent prices for how good the food is, it was worth every penny spent.

So I wanted to wait until I went back for a second time- to make sure it wasn’t a one hit wonder. They hit a home run with everything!!! Chicken and waffles- delicious; black eyed peas- so good, could be a meal alone; Cajun egg rolls- out of this world! My wife had the catfish tacos- said they were amazing. Staff were fantastic and friendly- you may have to wait - but totally worth it! This is one of our go to places now.

YBF Kitchen in Conway was great!Cute little location with great service.Our party had the Chicken and Waffles, Catfish Nuggets, Chicken and Rice, Favorites Sampler, and Butter Pecan Beignets. Everything we had was great! We will definitely be back!

Really great food! We had the southern fried chicken and waffle with Cajun sauce and the bananas foster French toast. Both excellent! A little disappointed in the time it took to get the food (1 hour) and it seemed like it had been sitting for a while. However, that will not deter us from returning! Hoping to come back soon!

They need help! If you're looking for a job, call them. We arrived there and the door was locked but we saw people inside and the sign said open. We were let in once the waitress noticed us. It took a while for us to be waited on, and some people left. The food was worth the wait. I'll maybe try them again, but earlier in the day.

Our service was good and the food was GREAT! The pineapple lemonade was very tasty. We had shrimp & grits, loaded fries, fried okra and chicken and shrimp Alfredo pasta. Also Chelsea the bartender made us some great drinks too.

My experience rating here is a 10/10. The food is mmm mmmm finger licking good ! Beautiful franchise & furnishing. The atmosphere was awesome & let’s not forget the staffs who made my visit worth every penny count. Without them you wouldn’t have the YGFBFK Kitchen Experience! This place is definitely a go to with a loved one, guys/girls night out, or family . One more thing if your wondering a bar is in place and it’s so freaking beautiful .

I placed an order online.Within a couple of minutes of placing my order, I received a phone call to tell me that they were out of peach cobbler beignets, so I choose to change it to Strawberry Beignets.I ordered the Cajun Smothered Shrimp and Grits. The shrimps were meticulously cleaned and perfectly prepared without tails to remove. The grits were creamy and delicious. But the remoulade sauce with fire roasted tomatoes completely brought this dish to life. My soul cried out in joy when I took my first bite. This here is REAL soul food! This here is straight from NOLA! This here would be what’s served in Cajun Heaven, if there were such a thing. My Cajun grandma (1899-1974) would surely approve. Cajun Smothered Shrimp and Grits. I dunno which Cajun smothered these shrimps, but they deserve all the raises and a paid vacation.This was so much food, I barely even made a dent in it. It seems expensive at $21.00, but I will likely eat it for lunch tomorrow and Friday. This dish could have been shared with one or two other people. It’s a lot of food, y’all. Worth it.Cajun Smothered Shrimp & Grits - No SausageTotal: $21.95Husband couldn’t decide on just one thing, so he ordered YGFBFKitchen's Favorite'sTasting Box. It had Cajun Alfredo Steak Melt, Blackened Cajun Chicken Alfredo and Cajun Smothered Shrimp & Grits. His favorite thing was the steak melt. He said everything was great, though. He finished off the steak sandwich and ate half of the other two entrees and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow.YGFBFKitchen's Favorite's Tasting BoxTotal: $24.95My sister had the sides: Mac & cheese, fries, fried okra and fried green tomatoes. She raved about the macaroni and cheese, and said everything was great."Just The 4 Sides"Sides Plate: Fried Okra,Mac N Cheese,Fried Green Tomatoes,Rosemary FriesTotal: $10.95The strawberry beignets were to die for. They were so fresh and decadent. It came with four, covered in cream and powdered sugar with freshly sliced strawberries. We each ate one and I saved one for tomorrow.Strawberry BeignetsTotal: $10.95Now, I’ve saved Fried Green Tomatoes to talk about last. They had good flavor, but… it was all breading and an extremely thin slice of green tomato inside. This breading would be excellent as hush puppies. I’ve been known to throw down on some fried green tomatoes, but I only had one of these. My husband ate the other three while complaining of how it was only breading. He was also ‘upset’ they didn’t come with the sauce. But he sure didn’t slow down on eating them.Fried Green TomatoesTotal: $5.85All three of us have leftovers, and will be going to bed with joyful taste buds and a full belly.

No lunch menu was available but, we were told there were lunch portions and prices. They just didn't have menus printed. I asked for clarification on the lunch price for the Salmon plate, server advised $15, got the check and it was $29 (the dinner menu price.) When asked about the discrepancy, the server replied it was on "Chef's Special" and was $29. Have accurate menus for lunch and staff trained properly. Will not be back.

Authentic southern cuisine in the charming town of Conway Arkansas. Lots of locals and tourists alike. Excellent food and friendly service. You could never get an experience like this at any of the many franchises in this town so take the time to find this authentic and rewarding experience.

For starters this place is in such a weird spot but once my boyfriend and i found it, we immediately got super excited. This is probably one of favorite spots in Conway. Absolutely loved everything about the food, the service, and the time that it took to have our food ready. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked well. And the portions of it was just right (really more than expected). We definitely will be coming back here for sure. Don't remember the exact names for the meal we ate but the pictures are kinda self explanatory .
