Such a cozy, homey little spot I ran across while dashing in the Conway area. I had to go back and give it a try and I was not disappointed. They have good iced coffee that can compete with the best chains around, and the steak breakfast wrap was so good! Only "con" is that there can be lengthy wait sometimes but on the upside, that's because they make the food fresh. I've been 3x now and I'll definitely continue to patronize this business! read more

I'm sorry but when I walk into a business I've never been too I hope that I'm greeted. But did I get that as I was there with my mother who mind you works in food service. So she understands but we were ignored just pushed off. We sat down for about 10 mins in those chairs in the front. Mind you there was woman next to my mom who said "I'm just hear for a pick up order." After about another 5 mins had passed two girls were chit chatting behind the counter and I simply asked when we might be seated she just huffed at me and said " I don't know we are kind of busy" so my mom said well just wait. But then a at least 10-15 top of college kids in suits and dresses were told oh it's only going to be a 5 minute wait they had no reservation neither did me and my mom. But by then we just said We can to sit outside we offered to place a Togo but any time we asked a simple question we were ignored or just walked away from. When I first moved to Conway it was a good place to eat in the morning. But now that it's just mostly college kids and high-school students probably working on the weekends it's not a place I would go to if you're just wearing sweatpants and T-shirt because you'll get ignored. We stayed in the parking lot for like another 5 mins the lady that had a PICK UP order she came out shaking her head no food in her hands so if that shows you they aren't prepared for big crowds I don't know what will. read more

Best Breakfast Spot in Conway! The Patio Café is my absolute favorite place for breakfast in Conway! The atmosphere is so cozy and inviting, with a charming small-town feel and local art on the walls. Whether you sit inside or enjoy the outdoor seating, it's always a great experience. The food is amazing--my go-to is the Eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and a pancake on the side, and it never disappoints! They also have fun, creative coffees that make the meal even better. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed, happy start to the day. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I love this place. During the week or on the weekend the fruit crepes with the cube potatoes are over the top. Light breakfast with a taste that in indescribable. Definitely a repeat for us over and over again. Service is impeccable and the food quality far surpasses expectations. Highly recommend this place read more

Tried this place out after hearing about it from locals. My daughter and I went in on a Wednesday mid morning. It was not that busy. There were plenty of empty tables. We were sat rather quickly. It took a minute for the server to show up with water and menus. The food took forever to come out. At least 45-60 min for eggs. And it was not hot when we got our food. Definitely not worth the wait or the price. read more

After a great first time experience a few months ago, I was looking forward for another reason to come to Conway and made sure to get here for breakfast. This time I I am looking forward to something sweet, but I was hungry and the eggs, hashbrowns, and ham steak were cooked to my liking. Now the star of today was the French toast. Fluffy bread with a bit of batter about the toast as well. Not too heavy and just the right amount of sweetness. I definitely recommend for French toast lovers! The staff was friendly as I had previously experienced without a wait. Nice overcast summer day for outdoors meal on their patio. Next time I get the chance I need to get here for lunch! read more

Cant believe they had us wait 30+ min for a table, then another almost 2 hours for food all while we saw people being sat and getting their food. arrived there at 10:30 and left at 12:50we came to bobs grill instead, faster service! read more

Food is good but don't be in a hurry if your on your lunch break. Service and atmosphere was good.

this is a very quaint, quiet and comfortable place to go to the waitresses are amazing. They're also very pretty and they'll take care of you the best way they can and that's usually top-notch. The food is wonderful. They have breakfast items that you'll enjoy everything I've tried has been good. l they have your usual breakfast items and also they'll have baked goods such as muffins and different types of breads. It's a wonderful treat during the week or on the weekends. You'll always find something delicious to eat. You'll find a smile at the door and you'll feel like you just left mom's kitchen. The ambience is wonderful. The waitresses are wonderful. Everything is wonderful. read more

Don't go here after church unless you have a couple of hours to spare and no one is hungry. I'm pretty certain the kitchen staff all went to lunch at 12:30 because we quit smelling food coming and when I went inside no one... not one person... had food in front of them. We finally complained at about 1:40 and suddenly everyone had food in about 15-30 minutes. The fries were soggy at best. The grilled chicken sandwich was ok.. but nothing to brag about. The patio was the perfect place to be with today's weather and we had great company with us, so that helped. But I can guarantee you this will not be a place we go again. If we weren't with other folks, we would have left after the first 20 minutes of waiting on our food. read more

Service was good...First time we visited heard good reviews of being the best hash browns in town...Food was tasty our only complaint our food was like warm when we got it...Maybe it was just busy...But they should cook it and get it out to the customer... read more

Took an hour to get our food while other tables were sat and finished. Service was inconsistent

Great southern style breakfast foods. The whole family loves it. We order here often. Our fav is the French toast and my kids love the fluffy pancakes. The potatoes are great too. Nice people, quality food and service. read more

We were recently in Conway, Arkansas for business and tried The Patio Cafe out for breakfast and were not disappointed! Food, Service and Ambiance were great and we will go back. read more

We have been there twice. 5 Stars - First time was outside in the patio. Summer morning and the fans did a great job at keeping us cool and comfortable. The space was open and the breakfast was quick hot and complete. 3 Stars - Second time was very recent but was a bit cooler - so we ate inside. The place was nice and the place was not 100% booked, but the experience was not the same. Our waitress was very sweet, but we list her for like 20 min. Other people near us were getting their food, then other girls brought us our food. It was cold and they did not bring the butter and syrup. We waited more - still no waitress. I got up looking for syrup and butter. Found our Estes's - she brought everything but the butter was out if the refrigerator and was too cold to spread. The whole experience was a disappointment. As you all know I really dislike cold food when it hits my table, but when your absent, the food is cold, then my butter is hard - sorry I'm annoyed. It's only pancakes and eggs. I'm sure the popped them out, but they just sat at the window. I will try there again in two weeks. I hope for a better experience. read more

I love breakfast restaurants and this one was great! They had a nice selection of dishes and if you aren't a breakfast person they apparently serve lunch all day too! I only have two criticisms: 1. Coffee, if you are a server and you grab the pot to fill up your table, do a quick circle around the room to see if anyone else wants some! and 2. Indicate on your sweet crepes the option to do a single topping rather than the combination (blueberry, strawberry, blackberry) described on the menu. My daughter had already ordered when she overheard another customer order only strawberries. Three times waitstaff grabbed the coffee pot and they didn't even look up so I could catch them to ask for a refill. Other than that the service was very good and the food was great! Hey there early because they are small and they fill up fast! read more

The Patio Cafe - Hangin' with my daughter and supporting local business! - Southern Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

We were looking for a unique place To have breakfast. There is an outdoor patio which is nice in nice weather and a small indoor dining area. The food was good and the service was good. I wasn't a fan of the busicuits and gravy but it may have been because I was really wanting a shrimp and grits. No frills or gimmicks here but you will get a meal that's definitely home cooked. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this place so my father, my friend, and I decided to go eat breakfast here one morning and I can't describe how disappointed I was. We waited over an hour to get seated and waited 30 minutes for them to take even our drink orders. We then waited 2 hours for our food! When the food did come out it was burnt/cold and tasted awful! While we were there all the other tables were being taken care of and left with ease looking satisfied so I don't know why we were being ignored the whole time! What makes it worst is that after all this the meal cost $70 for just 3 meals!! I will definitely never be coming back again! read more

Should have read the reviews before coming. We came in because we've heard food was good. Wish we could know that firsthand but we left 1 hr 15 min after arriving because our food hadn't been served yet. We learned they hadn't even STARTED making it yet!! They do post that during peak times food could take 30-45 minutes so we weren't expecting immediate service, but we waited too long. They wasted our morning. We will never visit again. Plus, here's some feedback on the iced lattes - they taste watery and more like iced coffee. Terrible. We didn't even drink them. If you want a good breakfast in Conway, go to Stoby's. They don't make you waste your day waiting. read more

This place used to be great. Unfortunately, the last few times we've visited have been worse than disappointing. The wait times are abysmal, with sparse service in the hour+ wait for your food. Furthermore, you're lucky if your side items are even lukewarm. The price point is incredibly high for the service (or lack thereof), which is the cherry on top of the horrible cake that is The Patio. read more

Great food and service. The staff is super friendly and the biscuits with sausage gravy is amazing.

We've been twice and both times we had excellent waitresses and food was great too. The little potatoes were delicious, the crepes were amazing and the challah bread didn't disappoint. read more

The food was excellent while working with a very short staff today, doing an incredible job through it all. I will go there again without hesitation. Kudos to the kitchen and wait staff. Your work ethic speaks volumes in our current working environment. Chloe, our server, was great! Christy Bentonville, AR read more

I know for a fact I can't say enough good things about my experience here. It started off great by luckily getting a table on a weekend for our family of five which could be very tough because the inside is comfortably snug. The inside is a pretty cool mix between a coffee shop vibe when you enter where they have pastries behind the counter along with a barista setup for coffee and a diner/cafe feel in the adjacent main dining area. They also have a spacious patio out front under huge oak trees which would be a prime spot to sit when the weather permits since the two roads that boarder the cafe don't seem to be particularly busy roads. Service was amazing, friendly and welcoming, what you would expect from a small town cafe I think it's called southern hospitality. Started with coffee though it wasn't to my taste it was fresh, hot and abundant! Went on to order French Toast and bacon as my side and let me tell you as good as everything has been so far in my experience this may top it all. First off I new this was going to be a great meal when after ordering she came back with the two best hot sauces on the planet Louisiana and Cholula for the breakfast burrito my sister ordered. Our food came out in timely fashion and there was so much food on everyone's plates the French toast was perfectly toasted with a glaze of cinnamon butter topped with a dusting of powdered sugar and a heaping side of thick bacon. Between the five of us there was nothing left on anyone's plate with us all sampling each other's menu choices. Prices were more than fair for the quality and amount of food you received. We left full and happy. Great start to the weekend! read more

This place has the right combination to be a good restaurant, but right now it's not. Slow service, kitchen mixed up orders. The food was good, but how can you enjoy food when the restaurant is cooled by a window unit a/c ? I would not come here again. read more

This place has the best ambience.! It is warm and cozy. The place feels like a big hug from a friend. The French toast is WONDERFUL! The portions are large. They sometimes have live music. read more

We enjoyed lunch on the patio. Great food and excellent service! Meg was friendly and attentive throughout our meal.

Walk in hungry, leave hungry. For the first time in probably 30 years I left before our food arrived....because it didn't. 50 minutes after ordering breakfast items for two, nothing special, no food...nada. Not a weekend, a weekday. 15 minutes after "your food is coming right out now"....nothing. No warning from the owner that they were understaffed. The prices are not cheap, service should be better. It's off our list. As Yogi Berra would say, it's so crowded nobody goes there. read more

Great little spot in Conway. Only thing is to make sure you're not in a hurry. Not because the service is bad, but because they make everything from scratch so it takes a little time! Definitely worth the wait in my opinion. The homemade Challah bread for the French toast was primo. read more

The Patio Cafe - French Toast with scrambled eggs and a side of bacon - Southern Near Me - Conway, Arkansas

What a gem in Conway! I have driven passed this place for years and have never tried it until today. Based upon other reviews that raves about the breakfast, that's what I went for. I had the biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, and a pancake. The portions are generous and I couldn't finish it. All of it was delicious! The pancake was the size of a dinner plate. Don't go here if you are in a hurry. This is a place you go to relax and enjoy your time and the food. It's worth the wait. I'll have to try their lunch next! read more

First and foremost, Rachel is amazing! She was super friendly, welcoming, and overall pleasant. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know I'm a huge sucker for great customer service. The vibe here is super relaxed and almost home like. When we got there, there was a gentleman playing music which was nice to listen to. I ordered the veggie omelet and honey lavender latte. Both were amazing. The dining area is self seating, and all of the tables had a decent amount of space between them. A lot of reviews said the wait times were ridiculously long, but honestly I don't think the food could have come out to my table any faster if I would have cooked it myself. There is a sign that says the wait can be long during peak hours, but what do you really expect from a non-corporate restaurant making the food to order? I will definitely be back for lunch another day. read more

This place is great but be prepared to wait! They have an adorable outdoor area and a hometown feel inside. The servers and food are great! But the wait can be a little much. Both getting seated and wait on food. I've been here a handful of times but every time is about the same with the wait. read more

This place has been decent on one other occasion so I decided to take my mother here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The patio area was full so the waiter told us to see the barista for a table inside. We go inside and everyone kept walking around us and seating other people who came in after us. So finally an older lady turns to us and tells me and my mother that we can seat ourselves. Mind you we are the only two blacks in the restaurant. I looked at her and told my mother we will go elsewhere. There will never be a change in this white racist city. So I will take all my energy and efforts to expose every racist establishment I encounter. I hope and pray they don't make another dime. I will definitely use social media to tell black people to keep their black dollars away from this restaurant. I wish we had more black owned restaurants in this town. read more

My wife and I went to The Patio Cafe for lunch today. First, it was a beautiful day, so we sat outside. Service was prompt, as usual and then, I saw it on the menu, a Monte Cristo sandwich! I was told the Monte Cristo at The Patio Cafe isn't deep fried like Monte Cristos usually are, but made with French Toast. I ordered it and let me tell you, hands down the absolute BEST Monte Cristo I have had in my life! The Patio Cafe's take on this sandwich should be considered legendary. The French toast and the chili jelly that comes with it on the side makes a taste sensation that you need to put The Patio Cafe and their Monte Cristo sandwich on your bucket list! #montecristo #bucketlist #destinationfood read more

I'll give a nod to the quaint breakfast/ brunch spot in Conway! They offer lunch as well, but I haven't made it that far yet. The staff is friendly, Chloe (our server) was pleasant, the service is fast, and the food is good. The Patio Cafe has no bells and whistles, but the cozy vibe served up with good comfort food works for me. All is well! read more

Love this place! Be prepared to wait on the weekends, the food is delicious and well worth the wait. The chai tea is excellent.

It is a nice sit down place to have a good brunch!! It has a range of breakfast options as well as some lunch food like sandwiches and such!

This place is great! Quaint old house with outdoor patio and such good food. My fav is Eggs Benedict. Great place to meet a friend for coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch! read more

Had brunch here today and it was absolutely delicious with the best waitress! Highly recommend the cubed potatoes! We had pancakes, French toast, bacon, ham, spicy bennies and cubed potatoes! Every item was FANTASTIC and we'll definitely be back! read more

I walk by this place often and it always seems very busy, so I decided to pop in. Was quite crowded, but I thought that must attest to how good and popular it is. Ordered the hot ham and cheese. Was honestly underwhelmed. Fries were too salty and the hot ham and cheese was more of a warm mostly ham and a hint of cheese. Will not be coming back read more
