Whole Hog Cafe - Conway

This place is absolutely amazing the atmosphere inside the old music playing not too loud not too soft. Just a great environment all the way around. The ribs were the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life juicy just the right amount of smoke with a little bit of sweet to them. To be completely honest, I would come back just to have the potato salad again. It is so good. You will not be disappointed.

I seem to have made the mistake of ordering food at peak catering hours. However, my food was prepared promptly and it is very delicious. I happened to be there when Ken, the owner, was training someone on the register. He treated her very well. After he finished what he was doing he asked me if everything was all right because my order was taking a little bit longer than expected. He was very concerned with making sure I not only got prompt service but good service as well. It seems like there is a culture where both the patrons and the employees are respected by one another. I would definitely recommend stopping here for a meal. Come in, take a seat, and enjoy. I got the whole hog platter so I could try a little bit of multiple things. Next time I go, I definitely plan to try their nach

9/19/25 update: Came by around 4:45 on a Friday. Almost empty and nobody in line. Trainee on register was left on her own mid-order by the person helping her. Took 25 minutes to receive order. 3 Minute drive home but Okra was luke warm and mac cheese was slightly warmer. Just on first half of the store I counted 15 flies (some dead, some alive) on the window sill next to the tables. Crumpled napkins scattered around the sticky floor. Budget sub hung on wall near ceiling aka bad acoustics. Soundbar crooked under TV. Lack of attention to detail? No hidden charges for card processing (aka no passing on cost of doing business to customers in a dishonest way rather than having accurate product prices). Nice to see utensils included and sauce containers marked with the number of the sauce. Sau

🤤Scrumptious! The seasoning on the ribs 😋 FLAVOR. Not a typical rub and MEATY! The chopped brisket was moist and taste the way meat is supposed to with out being soaked in sauce and sugar. Did not try the coleslaw 😉 as it does have sugar. They also offer salads. Fresh unsweetened tea! I ask a lot of questions and the staff at the front was patient, professionally polite and friendly. The location was clean and welcoming 🤗 Will be stopping in every time I travel thru Conway!

It had been a while since my last visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, I was surprised—but not in a good way—by the changes in service and quality. First, the complimentary pickles, which used to be a nice touch, are now being charged for. Second, the portion sizes of the two-meat plates have noticeably decreased—what was once a hearty serving now feels quite skimpy. Lastly, the coleslaw, which was previously fresh and crisp, was stale and unappetizing during this visit. Overall, I left feeling disappointed. The decline in value and quality makes me hesitant to return in the future.
