Cafeteria style with fantastic down home cooking. From the outside it looks like a warehouse but it houses some of the best store bought comfort food I've had in a long time. Reasonable prices and quick lines. Hard to beat. Highly recommend! read more

Solid choice for local southern style cooking. You don't come here for fancy decorations or modern amenities. You do come here for full portions of delicious country cooking at a good price, served by the most friendly folks around. Keep it up hole in the wall! read more

Everyone has been kind and the food is absolutely delicious this is a must go to for a quick lunch or dinner. read more

Yummy southern comfort food... I like the grilled chicken, black-eyed peas, and okra...it's always delicious!

Rented the small reception area. Was told by Toni there was a party Friday the night before so we couldn't set up early but had to pay extra. So we did, went by early and there was no party. Rented for Saturday and Sunday. Sunday rolled around and Toni was going off on us that all our items in the reception would be thrown out. Very unprofessional and there was minimal on the "contract". I would get everything in writing from her. She was nice up until we said we did not want to cater with her for breakfast then things changed as she demanded. So sad because we love to support small business but not when they take advantage of people. Would not recommend supporting this business! read more

Never disappoints!! This is my favorite stop for lunch in Conway. I plan my trips to make sure to get some delicious home cooking! Parmesan chicken,is my favorite and is always served up with a smile, Another big thing for me, it's so clean! Also Ms Toni is so friendly with all her guests. I love this place! read more

My mom and I came to visit after seeing the reviews on Yelp. The exterior and interior were both decorated in a relaxed southern vibe. It is a little confusing when you go in, because it's set up like a small buffet, but you just go through the line for everything. You don't order from the table through a server. You grab a drink and tray, go through the line, and order what ever plate lunch you prefer. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and checked on us throughout the visit. We both got the Parmesan Crusted Chicken, as well as the Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole and they were fantastic! She got the 4-layer Chocolate Delight and I got the Strawberry Cream Pie for dessert. Everything was delicious and you can tell everything is made from scratch. We will be back again when passing through Conway. Definitely worth a visit! read more

don't eat at restaurants where they are never open when I want to eat there. Either run a business or don't. 14 hours a week, are you kidding me? read more

Home cooking at its finest. We are Chicken Fried Chicken & Chicken Fried Steak, hash brown casserole, broccoli, fried okra. Chocolate cake & Strawberry cake all Good. The broccoli casserole wasn't my favorite but it was good. Friendly staff. read more

Food, ambiance and service that was unbelievable, this place has the best southern food in the state! My husband went back the next day, driving an hour.. have no idea how the do their fried cornbread, but it is unreal! Their health score is 100%!!! read more

Mediocre at best. Cabbage bland, peas dry, chicken parm cold. Lite plate $10, too pricey. Wished I had 4 roast beefs from Arbys instead.

Best fried corn bread ever. A true southern meal. The ladies are awesome and very helpful. Yum!

Wonderful comfort food, welcoming people treat you like they knew you forever. If ever in Conway, AR please make it a destination then visit the cute old town around the corner. read more

Fantastic food, service and clean dining area. Only open limited hours and days so call ahead. I say this was just like my grandmothers cooking and selection. Save room for the deserts. Very reasonable pricing. We live two hours away but visit grandkids in the area. This will always be one of our stops. read more

We had a delicious lunch today! The cream chicken was fantastic! The okra crispy and seasoned to perfection! My friend had the Parmesan chicken and it was amazing as was the Mac and cheese! And the four layer delight was awesome as well! We definitely will be back the next time we're though Conway. read more

One of the things I love about the Hole in the Wall is the staff. Everyone is so friendly. I feel like part of the family. I'm addicted to the Parmesan Chicken. And the greens. And you bite in to a chunk of potato every so often in the mashed potatoes : ), they are sooo good. Everything tastes like my grandma made it! Every. Thing. Have you tried the Chicken Salad? Oh my word! I haven't had anything that wasn't "rave" worthy! I really want to try the burger, but there is just too much other deliciousness to choose from. Don't even get me started on the desserts... Oh. My. I'd be in really big trouble if I lived any closer... read more

The food, service, and ambiance is great! Love the fried cornbread and southern style food.

Have been a frequent visitor for years! I really come here for the hot water cornbread which is absolutely wonderful! Today I got the veggie plate and all was good. Clean, friendly, roomy, fast, and delicious! Just like your grandma's home cooking. read more

Yummy!!! Everything is great! The people are awesome and super friendly! Love the southern hospitality!

Best restaurant I've found in forever! The owner & staff are absolutely the best! Let's not forget, some of the (if not the) best southern food I've ever eaten! Plenty of seating, even with Covid restrictions (which they follow & more). Summary: EAT HERE! read more

This place was great! From the time we walked in until we left everyone was friendly and accommodating. The food choices were numerous and all delicious. Lots of great desserts too! read more

Wonderful local restaurant, the food is always so delicious and the staff is so welcoming. On my recent visit, we left something behind and didn't realize it. The owner went out of her way to find us to return it. read more

This place is AWESOME. If you want soul food - you want Hole In The Wall. At first I wondered how a place that is only open for a few hours on weekdays can even stay afloat - but after a few visits I totally understood. LOTS of people come here for lunch because it is freaking amazing. I've been a patron of the local soul joints around here for years. Annie's (before it was closed), Bob's and Holly's....as much as I love those places I have to be honest: Hole In The Wall blows them out of the water. The atmosphere is better and so is the food. The staff is SUPER friendly and they stay on top of busing the tables to make room for all the people that loooove their food. Seriously, my boyfriend gets 2 weekdays off and we always use at least one of them (if not both) to visit HITW. We've even thought about trying to switch his schedule up sometimes so we can try the other day's specials (they have a rotation schedule for what meats and veggies they serve so if you want something different go on different days of the week!) THIS IS IMPORTANT: when you go in don't be put off by the front room being filled up. while i'm eating i always see people walk up, notice the crowd, and leave thinking there will be nowhere to sit. THERE IS AN EVEN BIGGER SEATING AREA IN THE BACK behind where you pay with a huge wall made of chalkboard for you to write what you think of the food. If you don't want to eat in, lots of people just take their orders back to work with them. But personally, I like to go in and see the nice people that work there. I definitely wouldn't call it healthy but as the walls will tell you, it is worth every.single.calorie. - Maegan Bell & Mason Thomas read more

Excellent and delicious home made southern cooking. Incredible fried cornbread and pies. Excellent service. Very friendly. Go alone, or in a group! Can't wait to go back! read more

I have come down to Conway for 3 years as my son attends college here. Given the hours of the restaurant, which center around weekday lunch, versus my typical weekend visit, we had yet to meet. Until today.... Excellent southern food. Don't look for healthy food here, but they have amazing fried chicken. I was not a fan of the fried corn bread, but hubby and son liked it. I tried purple beans (?) today for the first time.... Had never heard of them, but loved them. Amazingly friendly staff, warm, welcoming, helpful. read more

GREAT homemade southern-style cooking! Very friendly staff. Only thing that would make this better is more healthy options on menu - Perhaps a salad or two. read more

Whats the difference between Heaven and the Hole In The Wall Cafe? Heaven doesn't have the BEST peanut butter pie in Arkansas. This place has been a well kept secret.. They have by far the best Homemade food around. The CORN BREAD is to die for. I was begged by my wife to stop here several times and I finally gave in and Boy im glad I did.. If your looking for great food at a great value with the best desserts in Arkansas I would recommend to stop here. This is the only time I am going to say this: I am glad I listened to my Wife!. Get the peanut butter pie! ! P.S to the guy who stated about food being from a box I just want to state for the record if the food I ate was from a box Ill give you my first born and my wife. Are your taste buds drunk? Stephen read more

Me and friend and our girls came to eat here one day and it was pretty packed, they didnt have much of a menu( which was disappointing or a kids menu)we got our food went and sat down and the food was horrible! I take that back the green beans were amazing the chicken was dry and overcooked everything else was bad except for the green beans. read more

Their food is delicious especially their bake chicken breast parmesan and four layer delight. Staff is very friend, just a pleasant atmosphere. read more

I'm a little confused why people like this place. It's about on par with my elementary school cafeteria. The rolls are good, but I'm not a fan of the fried cornbread. There is nothing healthy to eat here. You're lucky if you can find something that isn't fried. The parmesan chicken is ok. The fried catfish was tough and not seasoned very well. None of the food seems fresh, like it was probably cooked early in the morning and sat under the heat lamps until the lunch rush. Honestly, I'd rather go to Cracker Barrel for home cooking. read more

Comfort food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Food was average in taste and quality.

A Friend and I ate here for my birthday today. It was awesome home cooked food! The strawberry shortcake was unique and like no other I've had! Very friendly and attentive staff! I will be back again and again! read more

Comfort food, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. Nothing spectacular as far as taste and quality of food.

We went to Hole in Wall after reading the online reviews and it was delicious! We had a buffet lunch: grilled pork chop, black eyed peas, greens, and fried corn bread (don't even try it.....you will love it!!!!). Everything was seasoned perfectly. The pork chop just melted in my mouth. Really amazing "plate lunch" restaurant. Servers were super friendly too. Loved the down home cooking!! read more

Food was from a can, they sell this place as "homecooking". Just canned food and packaged goods. $10 with a drink for not a lot of food. The fried cornbread was the best thing. But not worth $10. Would rather at at holly's read more
