    Went here for the first time with my family and had the best time!! The vibes were amazing and the service was good. Food was amazing. We got there in time for happy hour so we tried a little bit of everything. I would really recommend the edamame, Brussels sprouts, and tuna on crispy rice. We also got the spicy tuna roll, Cesar salad, firecracker roll and more - literally everything was delicious. The only issue we had was the bar which was so backed up that it was taking forever for us to get our drinks. We ate all our food by the time our second round came out. The vibes were so good though that I wasn't even upset about it. Def go here if youre visiting from out of town.

    Whitaker's Bar in Conway had excellent service with quick drinks and friendly staff. The beer selection was great and happy hour with half off sushi rolls was a nice surprise. The restaurant was well decorated for Halloween and even had hook and ring toss at the tables. Walk-in was easy with no reservation and the whole town had a Halloween feel for October.

    Amazing!! As a New Yorker I can fully admit I can be very hard to please when it comes to food. This was excellent! The ambiance is super nice with great service. The edamame was a must try. They had so many rolls to choose from it was hard to decide. Can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

    The restaurant was beautiful. It was really selling the tiki theme. The service was ok. It was nothing too special or anything that stood out. I will say the drinks and the sushi were amazing. The sushi menu was full of unique dishes I have never heard of. The poke bowels were ok. I didn't like them all the much. It just didn't seem fresh. Over all, it was an ok restaurant. I would probably come back for the sushi though.

    This is one of my go to spots in Conway. They have a great happy hour, delicious apps and sushi & a nice rotating selection of cocktails.

    Just had drinks but wonderful atmosphere and menu looked great. Wanted one of the seasonal cocktails but they were of of ingredients since the menu is changing shortly. Service at the bar was good. Here is the Bourbon Bramble.

    Just some of the cocktails we tried! Buzzed Butterly and Pamplemousse Paloma.

    Obsessed. My girls and I were just walking along the streets of historic Conway and we spotted a sign that promised sushi, tacos, cocktails and vibes (basically the four food groups) and immediately detoured. The food was light and fresh, but the cocktails? Unreal. We "sampled" four (purely for science) and every single one was a masterpiece. Whoever's behind the bar clearly has some kind of wizard level gift with flavors and booze. The whole place has that effortlessly fun energy, like the kind of spot where you come for lunch and suddenly it's three hours later and you're texting your group chat, "New bachelorette HQ found." Can confirm: we're already planning our return. The vibes is what we needed.

    HOLY WOW! Yes! Delish sushi for everyone in our party of 4. Pace offered great cocktails as well. Staff were very friendly. One of my daughters ordered tacos and felt they were heavy on the slaw but the flavor was still good and I enjoyed snacking on the extra slaw. We will be back. Melt in your mouth deliciousness. The restaurant was busy but not uncomfortable more too noisy to enjoy your meal. It was clean and along a nice street in the city.

    We came in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and they were not too busy. It has a large bar area,…read morebut extra areas with tables. The staff were super friendly with great meal recommendations. The young lady who took our drink order and our waitress recommended the Crafty Quesadilla - Shredded cheese with sauteed peppers and onions, served with lettuce and tomato garnish salsa and sour cream. You can have it just like that or customize with- Grilled Chicken, Shaved Steak, Grilled Shrimp, Bacon, Lobster, Ground Cab Beef, Plant Based Patty, Fresh Jalapenos, Sauteed Mushrooms, Black Olives, and Tomatoes. I added chicken. It was very tasty with a balanced amount of chicken and vegetables. My husband had the Conway Burger. Local favorite! Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion, with pepper jack cheese. We had fried pickles for a starter and he added some of them to the burger. It was a nice big burger. Cannot wait to go back and try their Rivertown Mac. Conway is a beautiful town perfect for strolling on a lovely day. Picked up a jar of local honey from Mountain Man Honey & Goods. Lot of great local spreads without refined sugars.

    The Crafty Rooster Bar and Grill Tucked right in the heart…read moreof downtown Conway, The Crafty Rooster Bar and Grill is the kind of hidden gem you hope to stumble upon--and then can't stop talking about once you do. Helen and I discovered it while scouting out local spots, and its location couldn't be better--just steps from the scenic Conway Riverwalk, surrounded by charming shops and historic buildings. Even the street parking (easy parallel with a two-hour window) felt like part of the laid-back, small-town experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibe hit just right: cozy, welcoming, and full of locals who clearly know a good thing when they see it. The staff made us feel right at home--friendly, attentive, and happy to help us navigate the menu. We kicked things off with the cold lobster dip, and let me tell you--this isn't your average appetizer. Imagine a creamy lobster roll transformed into a rich, indulgent dip, packed with chunks of lobster and served with warm pita points. It was the kind of dish you don't want to share... but have to. Helen went for the Reuben--perfectly stacked with shaved corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and house-made Thousand Island, all grilled on black rye. I opted for the seafood platter with fish and shrimp, cooked to perfection. The fries were hand-cut, the seafood was fresh and flavorful, and while the jalapeño dill slaw had a bit more kick than I expected, the rest of the plate absolutely delivered. As we soaked in the atmosphere, we spotted a plate of loaded Brussels sprouts heading to another table--crispy, golden, tossed in garlic parmesan sauce, and topped with bacon and shredded parmesan. Safe to say, that's already on our must-try list for next time. And so is their "Everything but the Hen" wrap--a hearty combo of shaved steak, grilled shrimp, bacon, fresh veggies, provolone, and horseradish mayo wrapped up in a soft tortilla. Yes, it sounds as good as it looks. The best part? After a couple of beers, a full seafood platter, a loaded Reuben, and that incredible lobster dip, our total was still under $50--even with tip and tax. Great food, great prices, and a relaxed, local vibe--The Crafty Rooster Bar and Grill has officially earned a spot on our regular rotation. We'll definitely be back for more.
