So let me preface this review of the food was great! As you can tell from the appetizer pics, I ate first then thought about the review! Appetizers Ahi tuna- love it, order it every time we dine at this wonderful restaurant. Mix the wasabi and soy sauce and get to town on the seared tuna. Fried green tomatoes- fried to perfection, a southern delicacy! These fried green tomatoes were perfect. Lightly battered paired a creamy remoulade sauce. Entrees! Aged ribeye- my aged ribeye was cooked perfectly medium. Had great seasoning on it. I was Surprised at how tender it was. Overall, a great steak. I continued with a side salad and another southern delicacy of fried squash. Both were really good. I love some fried squash. My wife ordered the salmon entrée- It had a pink pineapple relish on top of it. She would not let me take a bite, I'm assuming that meant it was very good! The only negative about the whole experience was the temperature of the restaurant. It's an older building and when it's 100° outside, it's hot inside. Other than that, the food was amazing as always. Until next time! read more

We found this place on Yelp and what a gem !!! The food was amazing and the live music was a surprise. The waiting staff was great and the owner/manager even came over to speak. The Ahi Tuna was amazing !!! The Ribeye was off the chain !!! The fried squash was better than my mom's !! Go !! Now !!! read more

There were four of us for early dinner. My husband loved his chicken fried steak dinner. I got the sandwich. I was not so impressed with it. My chicken fried steak had to much gristle to eat. I finally gave up. Our waitress was very good and the wait time was not bad. read more

Food was SO GOOD! Service was friendly and helpful. Clean and very busy. Next time we are traveling thru it's a stop for sure. read more

We enjoyed the Ruben and French dip sandwiches for lunch with onion rings and sweet potato fries. The service was quick and the atmosphere was fun and laid back. It's just off of 40, but you would probably have a hard time finding it without Yelp. A nice alternative to chains and so much better! read more

The quality and quantity of food was great. We will stop in again! Loved the fried mushrooms and okra. The salad was fresh and the blue cheese crumbles an added bonus! read more

The steak is juicy, tender and oh so delicious! The staff is friendly and quick. Very healthy proportions. Haven't come here yet for the music at night. Looking forward to the outdoor music. read more

This restaurant refused service to someone with a legitimate, well indicated service dog that has been specially trained, very calm and professional, and provides a significant amount of tasks. Their excuse was since they were a private business that they didn't have to follow ADA regulations. Incorrect. It is not difficult to tell that the handler needs her service dog. Bella, the service dog, is one of the best and calmest dogs, and has a small social media following, and has recently made a full recovery from a knee replacement. If there was a way to give a restaurant a zero, they would get a zero. read more

This is a little hidden gem that unless you heard of it you wouldn't know about it since it's a few miles south of downtown Conway. It's quirky, fun and the food is amazingly good. Did I mention a full service bar, music and friendly wait staff!! It's in an old converted gas station and other uses before it morphed into "Taylor's Made Cafe", a true gem of a restaurant. Food is above average in its prep and taste. Menu is varied and fish is phenomenal whether it's fried catfish, grilled salmon or tuna. Don't judge a book by its cover should be used when going first tile. Outside is ho hum but your going for the food and not being able to find a place to park should tell you the food and fun inside was worth the hunt. Inside is comfortable, clean and always packed but service is fast and friendly and food is prompt. Have fun, we did. Weekends are music nights so very busy. read more

At Taylor's Made Cafe, they keep that old southern cooking ALIVE! They've got tall boys for the dads, chicken tenders for the kiddos, a little something for everybody! Great environment, open space. Very accommodating for big parties. The outdoor deck is perfect for those that want the leisure of smoking. I'd rate the environment (4.5/5.) food (5/5) I cleaned my plate that's for sure! We'll definitely be back! read more

I don't recommend this place if you ha e a service dog.. They are rude to service dog handlers and refuse service to them.

Very good food ! Would like to return when the weather was better! We didn't try out the bar but will next time! read more

Their Ahi Tuna is amazing!! They have live entertainment on the porch. It is always great and well worth making reservations.

Very good! The food was great and our waitress was attentive and super nice. We'll definitely return when we're in the area again.

A great hangout place. Really good food. Great music and a bar to sooth your feelings! read more

Good potato skins, burger & fries(nice and crispy). Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Clean interior and nice dining area & bar.

My wife and I came here on a Saturday night. 1st time so we didn't know what to expect. When we came through the door and into the tiny dining area, we stood there awkwardly for a moment before one of the waitresses told us we could sit wherever. The table that was immediately to our left at the entrance still had glasses on it as did a couple other empty tables which left us with choosing a table set up for 6. No other option left really unless I had bussed a table for them. We poked our head into what I think might actually be the smallest bar I've ever seen. Now what I found odd and off-putting right off the bat was that they had live music in the corner of this very small restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the musician was great, but for that small of a space? We almost had to shout our order to our waitress because the place was so loud. Between the guy playing music and singing and all the people trying to carry on conversations over the music, I could barely hear myself think. Another strange thing you couldn't miss was the Men's and Women's restrooms smack dab in the main dining area....better hope Ol' Big Bob doesn't carry out the odor of that brown bomb he just dropped. The food was actually decent for the most part. Wife & I both had the Grilled Shrimp. My sides were Fries & Corn. Fries were great but the corn was clearly canned and not a good brand either. It was the brownest canned corn I think I'd ever seen. There was no seasoning or additional flavor to it, just canned corn heated in a bowl. My wife's sides were Fried Okra and Baked Potato. She said the Fried Okra had no seasoning whatsoever. The Shrimp was great, absolutely perfect. The service was on point and our waitress was great. My wife seemed to like the place but I'm just not a fan. This place has the feel of a restaurant that didn't get much thought put into it when it was transformed from being whatever it was before. read more

This was the most terrible service I have ever experienced. We sat down and had to get our own menus. We waited 20 minutes to get our drinks ordered and another 30 minutes for our appetizer. The food was ok. I ordered a club and they put such thick meat on it I couldn't even eat it. There were flies EVERYWHERE. The flies were so bad in the bathroom you couldn't even sit on the toilet seat. I will NEVER come back to this place. read more

This has always been our go to spot! Whether it's a weekday with the kids for dinner or a date night to hear live music, we enjoy our time at Taylors Made. Never had a bad experience with food, drinks, or service. They have the best staff! read more

Stopped on the way to Missouri and chicken fried steak, fries, etc was all very good with attentive staff. A great place to stop!

Solid 4 star cafe. I bumped them to 5 stars since they are a locally owned joint. Place is located on a highway between Mayflower and Conway. This is the place you would normally just drive right by, but that would be a mistake. Food is really good and the serve booze. I'm talking beer and a full bar. Never would have expected that when we first pulled up. The menu is very extensive and has something for everyone. Lots of sandwich and burger options. Dinner entrees including steak, beef, chicken and seafood. Recommend. read more

Very friendly staff and good food for a good price! Came in late on a Monday night, from out of town. Monday is meatloaf night as a special so my husband and I split it. It came with two sides, so we got the fried okra and tater tots. It was all delicious! A lot of food as we both left full for under $20. Also my husband ate the okra and he hates okra! We will definitely return the next time we drive through town. :) read more

A great local cafe serving very good comfort food. The service was phenomenal, food very good. I had hamburger steak, okra, and mashed potatoes. The food was fresh and very tasty. The location is close to interstate, we were very glad we stopped. read more

My family and I went there today with a party of 8. Every dish my family ordered was very good, the restaurant was clean, our waitress was on point for every facet of our visit. For most of us it was the first time there. Very impressed! We'll be returning. read more

Always good food and entertainment. Average prices - good family environment and entertainment

Friendly staff serve up made-to-order meals with good variety and a great price. Kids menu had about 6 options (cheese burger, fist bites/sticks, grilled cheese, PB&J, hotdog, chicken tenders) We ordered; - Catfish plate (Ah-MAZ-ing!) with both sides as mashed potatoes and gravy that was delish! - turkey bacon wrap (toasted was nice surprise!) had a little kick to it. Very good. Got a side of fried squash that sounded amazing but was just ok, pretty bland for fried food. - fish bites that weren't that good. My son didn't like them. And crispy and delicious fries. - hot dog with potato chips that were just as expected. We're excited for this find and would definitely recommend and come back! Don't skip the catfish or the fries!! read more

This place was delicious. While on a road trip we stopped in, didn't know what it was like. We Had the most delicious Tuna steak. It looks like a dive on the outside but the food and service were excellent! read more

Just passing thru and decided to stop in. What a pleasant surprise! I had the catfish and my husband, the chicken fried steak. Both were cooked to perfection, the sides were delicious and everything tasted just like a good home cooked meal. Oh, the banana pudding was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Whenever we are back in this area, we will definitely be stopping in. read more

You won't find a better place to just kick back and enjoy a great meal from their menu. All foods that I have been served have been fantastic and the service is great too. They have a full Bar area and good knowledgeable staff with it. When the weather permits...kick back and enjoy a meal and drink on the parachute patio! Either indoors and outdoors...this is a great place to relax for yourself or friends with you! read more

I understand Covid has added to the cost of things, but when did ice become a premium item? When stopping in for lunch last week, One of us ordered a hot entree. With my lunch I ordered an ice tea. There was very little ice in it. Before I had 1/2 of the drink down, the bit of ice was melted. I was left with tepid tea. Another bit of an issue was when we unwrapped our cutlery we only had a fork. Since when do we not need a fork AND knife to eat. For my lunch alone, with tax and tip was over $20.00. For that I do not think a knife or ice is too much to ask. We hate to lose eating at Taylors as we have always enjoyed it. read more

Great atmosphere. Great local musicians. Staff always on there for your needs and I love the red beer.

I honestly don't understand the reviews I've read by others for this food, other than the comment about the chicken fried steak being gross-that comment is 100% accurate. The French Dip, in my honest opinion, was the absolute worst French Dip I've eaten...that includes Arby's. The biggest disappointment was the onion rings. They were soaked in oil, soggy and falling apart. I literally only ate part of one of them.Finally, the corn was even bad. This order was delivered- not that that should make a difference but absolutely no way I will eat their food again. read more

Love the food, love the service! Shelly is the best! Both are always good. Get the Rueben sandwich you won't be disappointed!!

The people here are wonderful, and the food is amazing. I had the chicken-fried steak sandwich, and my wife had the chicken strips. Everything was very well seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The onion rings were excellent. The owner came by the table to say hi and ask if the sun was in our eyes; friendly and caring ownership / management means this place will always be a great place to stop on your way through mid-Arkansas on I-40. read more
