    Great bar. The owner makes everyone welcome. Join him for a game of Killer Pool. The best fun you can have with a table and bunch of balls. Food delicious. Staff great fun. When in the area give it a visit will become your favourite bar in Patong.

    First time trying the breakfast here and best I have tried in Patong. The black pudding is good which is a very rare find here. 190 baht + 30 baht for black pudding if required. Comes with hot and cold drink. Great value.

    Fantastic pub with a friendly host in Dave and his wife Nan, who is an excellent cook. Plenty of screens for the AFL and try to get here for the Wednesday roast.

    It's my second time at Halfway Inn. I ordered Fried rice with chicken. It was an awesome super delicious meal. I will most definitely always go back for an awesome meal all the time. I would recommend all their meals. Staff are very friendly and super helpful. I give them 10/10

    Simple restaurant in Phuket. The space is very loud, with two big televisions where you are invited to watch some sports. The service was fine, and the food was good. Price-wise, they are affordable. Very average experience in my first restaurant in Phuket.

    Fantastic thai restaurant / British sport's bar with warm AMAZING atmosphere as British owner Dave welcomes everyone personaly and gives great first impresion, that all your wishes can be satisfied, just say if you need to prepare meal anyhow special for you. And mainly you can watch sports and eat delishes thai cousine all together. IMHO hidden jewel in Patong with amazing British/Thailand vibe and atmosphere. Strongly recomend to visit during stay in Patong and if some sports matches happens...:-)

    Top class Thai food, was greeted by the owner Dave, we had couple of dishes and were amazed by the taste, just a warning though portions are large a main and a starter will go a long way, a must try when you are visiting Phuket

    Great food! Delicious green and Thai spicy red curry. Good prices and portions. I had a Mai Tai that was also the bomb! The woman working was very nice and explained the differences in the dishes to us. Want to come back to try other things!

    Food taste and quality are awesome. Affordable and excellent service too. Met the chef (or might be the owner), she looks like a very passionate cook.

    This is a bit off the beaten path but was worth finding. Had a local bar vibe with amazing food. Try the papaya salad!

  • 5/5 Darryl P. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    I recently enjoyed the full English breakfast on 3 consecutive days. Very good quality ingredients used for the entire breakfast and well prepared, cooked and presented. If you are in Pattong Beach and need a “ recovery breakfast “ then I highly recommend Halfway Inn. The staff were also attentive and created a comfortable ambiance.

  • 5/5 Peter R. 4 years ago on Google
    Great spot to watch a game. Good food, good prices friendly staff.

  • 5/5 David J. 2 years ago on Google
    Only opened last 2years. Have known owners for 7yrs, from previous establishments, moved here, do to redevelopment from previous restaurant. Great service, Nan offers cooking classes , offer Roast Dinner on Wednesday evening. Great service from all staff at this Restaurant.

  • 5/5 Donna Marie F. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolute Gem! The most amazing food, cooked with love, the only difficulty is choosing what to eat from the menu. Everything we have tried so far has been outstanding. The warm and inviting atmosphere is down to The host and hostess Dave and Nam, along with lovely staff and regular customers. If you are in Patong, get yourself along to Halfway Inn.. you will not be disappointed ❤️🙏

  • 5/5 Christopher O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great welcome from the owners. Food is excellent. Set back from the main road with plenty of parking available and that's a big bonus on Nanai Road. I will be back!!!!

  • 5/5 Jay S. 2 years ago on Google
    This review is for the Halfway Inn restaurant located inside the horseshoe (there's another restaurant that is called Halfway Inn that is located right on the street, or at least the Halfway Inn sign is in front of that restaurant *confusing. I know.*) That being said, breakfast is like the best deal. 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 toast, 2 tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, and tea for real cheap. As for the place, clean, excellent service and staff, speak english, and the rest of the food is cheap too with great quality and portions. Highly recommend!!!

  • 3/5 Rebecca V. 1 year ago on Google
    Ate here today May 6th 2022. This place is right up the back of Patong and a 15 minute walk from the main tourist area. I ordered fried rice it was ok, just bland which surprised me considering they do cooking classes here I expected something above average. I’ve had better at Tom Nua No 1 and Sandwich Shoppe Patong. Husband ordered fried calamari he said it was nice, nothing amazing. Prices were no cheaper than the tourist area. Service was friendly. Very clean! Nice atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Terence M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is Phenomenal!!!! Clearly the best Thai food in Phuket, maybe all of Thailand for that matter. Great vibe and nice selection of UK sports on the Telly. Highly recommended, Dave and Nan are doing it right!!!!

  • 5/5 Dead P. 1 year ago on Google
    The inn has a family atmosphere that is warm and inviting. Nan the proprietor and head cook does an excellent job with making authentic English cuisine and is of course expert at making great Thai food. At night its a fun lively place to have a few beers with friends and the friendly staff of beautiful ladies like Parichat who all have hearts of gold.

  • 5/5 Sheena H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff and truly great Thai and European food available. Always a fantastic night out! Pool tables available also.

  • 5/5 Sue G. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend this restaurant! Really delicious food with a cheap price. And the owner is very welcoming!

  • 5/5 Tony L. 1 year ago on Google
    Still a must visit place in Patong. Nan must be one of the best cooks around. If I had time I would work my way through the menu. Dave and Nan care about people and take a genuine interest in them. Whether you are single, a couple, a group or a family you will have a great time here and very likely come back. Halfway Inn is frequented by many people who live here which, I believe, says a lot. Fun activities in the evening, live music once a week. Don't come to Patong and miss out.

  • 5/5 Glenda T. 1 year ago on Google
    literally the best thai restaurant i dined in during my trip. portions are huge. the pad thai and yellow curry was soooo delicious. the owner was very friendly and told us that she can adjust the menu according to what we wanted. 100% recommended!!!

  • 5/5 El C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic bar! We came here because of its great reviews & it definitely lived up to our expectations. Dave was so welcoming & friendly; giving us lots of tips & information about Phuket. Nan’s (head chef) food was incredible, especially the pineapple fried rice. The Halfway Inn made our time in Patong, 100% recommend.

  • 5/5 Susan J. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Margarita N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly place. Delicious food. The owner always welcomes all guests. Live music on Fridays. Be sure to look here.

  • 5/5 Tony L. 1 year ago on Google
    The fact that this restaurant has many repeat visitors speaks for itself. The food is up with the best I had in Patong. If I were in Patong long term, I would work my way through the menu. Dave and Nan are very welcoming and genuinely interested in their customers. Highly recommend that you visit this place and am almost certain you will return.

  • 5/5 Nikhil C. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic spot away from the craziness of Patong beach with a great bar, live music, pool and one of the best meals we've had in Thailand. The owner Dave is a lovely bloke and took the time to say hello to every single guest including all the kids. The food was amazing and the staff were very accommodating with one of the kids' food allergies. I genuinely can't praise the food enough. We opted for medium spiciness and everything was just perfect. Genuinely will be returning here when we come back to Phuket later this year.

  • 5/5 Маргарита �. 1 year ago on Google

    The Halfway Inn has a great atmosphere. Dave, Nan, Danny and their staff are always welcoming. The Food is delicious with a wide range of western and Thai food on offer. We went to the Halfway Inn for Christmas dinner which was amazing. I'm looking forward to going backing.

    Beautiful people here at halfway inn. Cheapest breakfast spot and meal is big. My traveling friend and I made convos with a woman named nig... she offered us a BBQ dinner at this restaurant and all we had to do was buy beer from restaurant! We ended up have g a few beers there with her and thai friends. I recommend this restaurant to any one traveling in patong beach! -jeff Canada-

    Definitely a great place for food and drinks near Patong!!! The Thai food is great and the price is really reasonable. The owner is super nice and serve us a free buffet during the dinner. You can also join the pool game at 8pm. Please try it when you are staying near Patong!

  • 5/5 Ross H. 5 years ago on Google
    From the moment you walk in, Dave and Nan make you feel like family members here. The food is fantastic and Nan has been super helpful with her recommendations to make sure we find the perfect dish. It's a must-visit for us every time we're in Patong.

  • 5/5 Vincent C. 4 years ago on Google
    I went to the half-way inn based on Google reviews and it did not disappoint! I came back the next day. Excellent food, very-friendly owners, great atmosphere and attentive staff. I would have been back a third day but I had to leave Phuket.

  • 5/5 John Paul K. 5 years ago on Google
    Chose this place off the prior good google reviews. A lot of the restaurants in the area offered similar food items. Was a bit wary as there weren’t any other customers at lunch time today. Really glad we tried it, though as quality and preparation of food was excellent. Service by our server Wa was outstanding. She was super friendly, accommodating of diet requests and SPICE level which is hard to gauge/communicate at a lot of places. Heard there has been a decrease in tourists and customers, but worth coming and would recommend!

  • 2/5 CHEORL H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) When I traveled to Phuket three years ago, I couldn't go to the top of TripAdvisor, so I went this time, but the price is disappointing... There seems to be a reason for disappearing from the fortress list. (Original) 3년전 푸켓여행때 트립어드바이저 상위권일때 못가서 이번에 가봤는데 가격대비 실망이네요... 요새 리스트에서 사라진이유가 있는듯요

  • 4/5 Itamar K. 4 years ago on Google
    4 and not 5 because it's a little expensive compared to other local restaurants and the dishes weren't big enough in our opinion. Also the waitress was kind of annoying

    Met Dave the first day we got to Phuket. Stopped in for drinks every night we were there. Not only was the owner and staff friendly so were the other customers. Made some friends from over the world there in a short couple nights. Only mistake we made was waiting to get food there til the last nite. AWSOME FOOD!!!! Great drinks and atmosphere. A must stop for a relaxing time. Hope to see y'all again there or somewhere else in the world. Come on to the USA!!

    Favourite place to go for a full English breakfast, pie and roast! The place is further in away from the road and it's a nice place to hang out. Friendly staff, so much that they became friends 😄
