Great service, great food, & a great atmosphere. We were visiting with a large group mostly made up of children. The server was very kind. He explained the menu and made great suggestions. The food was beautiful and delicious. We had Brussel sprouts & fried green tomatoes for appetizers and I ordered the Pork Belly. My kids love their meals too. read more

We had another good experience here last night. All of our food was good, but I do have a few tips. We ordered the egg rolls. It's an order of four halves so two complete egg rolls. They were good but I would t need to order them next time. For our entrees we had the burger and fries (the fries were really good), fried meatloaf (very different but good), shrimp and grits (always delicious), and the kale Caesar and potato leek soup. Everything was good but I don't know that anything really stood out. The service was good as well. Now for my tips. #1 they need to add another door. It was FREEZING in the restaurant and we were seated right by the door so anytime anyone came in or left we got blasted with cold air. #2 They had hanger steak on their menu. The menu we saw before we went said that it was $29 for that entree. When we got there they had raised the price to $45. Their most expensive entree was $20. So double the price of anything on their menu and a full $15 more? I understand prices have gone up but there is no way you can get your moneys worth on a hanger steak (a filet maybe) and it was just hand written in on their menu as well. It was tacky and unprofessional. We had planned on ordering but could not justify the price hike. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find this small, quaint restaurant in downtown Corydon. The food is fresh, local sourced, and chef made, very impressive. We had the corn fritters. I'm usually not a fan, but these were the best I've ever eaten. We split the smash burger that came with fries. Both excellent. Servers were efficient and friendly. We will certainly return again when in the area. read more

Small but mighty. Located in a historic building in downtown Corydon. The service was terrific (Amber)! We just had soup, but tried out some beers and a wine. It was a fun little lunch! We'll come back when we visit this area. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch with family while visiting from out of town. Awesome new little place. Definitely a must try if you are in Corydon! The menu was very interesting and to be honest we had to Google many items on the menu. We all tried something new (pictures attached) and everything was awesome! The fried green tomatoes and Brussels sprouts were both awesome appetizers(sorry no pics everyone dug in before I could snap a pic!). The members of our group that were local said they will definitely be back!! read more

We were leery about trying this place out on just the second weekend they were officially open to the public, but more than exceeded our expectations. We had a group of 4, service was spot on, and the food was terrific. I had the smash burger, it was phenomenal. We ordered a piece of apple cheese cake and shared it with the whole table. It's heavenly and a must do if you eat here. We are so excited about having this little jewel in downtown Corydon! Defiantly going back soon. read more

A treasure of an eatery in historic downtown Corydon ... phenomenal food, welcoming service, charming decor, and music to match the historic, homespun yet very much modern mood. We tried the fried green tomatoes (wow!), the Big Boy - a fried chicken sandwich on a sweet potato bun with homemade fries (toe-curling good), and the kale Caesar with shrimp (perfectly cooked and seasoned). When a chef can make a kale salad and shrimp sing with flavor, you have something special. Don't miss this gem of a dining experience. read more

I lack pictures because the food was too good and I couldn't stop eating it. We started off with the Brussels and Fried Halloumi salad. The absolute best Brussels I've ever had and Fried Halloumi salad. Crispy Skin Chicken (roasted leek/onions/potatoes/carrots/crimini mushrooms/ bourbon gravy) and the Steak and Chips (hanger steak/ chimichurri/ parmigiana fries) was phenomenal. This place is a hidden gem. As an Airline Pilot who travels all over to taste amazing food I would put this on my top ten list world wide. Thank you Chef Dickerson for the food. For drinks we had the old capital fashioned which was perfectly balanced with Four Roses bourbon and a go-to margarita that had a hint of jalapeño and finished with an interesting take of a cucumber. Absolutely perfect. Thanks Levi Donaldson for the awesome mix of drinks to compliment our great food. read more

Delicious food and adequately priced. This afternoon during my first time in, they had questionable customer service. Considering they weren't busy (2 other customers), it took a moment to get aknowledged/seated. When staff was around they stood uncomfortably close, that I politely scooted farther down the booth (personal space) and they basically just read the menu for me (which I thought was odd). During my time there, staff was mainly chatting with each other or about themselves at the other customers. I ordered one of their sweet potato buns at the bottom of their lunch menu ($8, the BLT) and was given their lunch special instead ($12 and delicious, an item about which I did inquire). I was in a hurry over lunch hour and completely famished, so I enjoyed the meal and didn't raise a fuss. I still tipped 15%, though staff seemed distracted (perhaps because they were about to close between lunch and dinner). Like I said, delicious food, adequately priced, and there's not an other place like it in Corydon. Seems like a cool date spot. I would consider going there again, and even changing/deleting this review but next time I'll have to double check and confirm my order. Especially if staff is overly chatty. read more

They are A very pricey restaurant and the new ownership has flooded the menu price vs amount and drink pricing you can get better food and better pricing from other local establishments. read more

This is my wife and I'd favorite restaurant. Food is always spot on. Fantastic flavors. I have yet to have a dish that wasn't fantastic. The fried green tomatoes and the truffle fries with sun dried tomato aioli are worth the visit alone. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Loved the location.. not having to travel to Louisville over the bridge and dealing with traffic was amazing‼ The food was absolutely delicious & literally had our taste buds singing!!! The atmosphere was wonderful especially for a married couple enjoying an evening out without kiddos! Our waiter was fabulous & the chef, as we stated earlier, has a talent beyond anything I've ever experienced! We tried a bottle of Prayers of Sinners, our appetizer was Spring Rolls & main course was : Shrimp & Grits ; Grouper! read more

Great food at great prices! we always enjoy coming to 1816. Love their seafood specials. Great to have a good local restaurant

Stopped in for lunch today first visit and will definitely be back. For lunch I chose the small garden salad, fried green tomatoes, and iced tea. Salad was fresh with fantastic dressing. Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorites try them anytime I see them on a menu and these were right up there with ones I had had in the low country. Cooked perfectly with a delicious pimento cheese to give them some sharp contrast. Beautifully plated and pleasant to the eye as well as the tummy. Can't wait to return and try the dinner menu! Total for lunch. $13.90 read more

We were just passing through Indiana on our way to Missouri but then hunger pangs set in and found this place through Yelp and was not disappointed. First off, Corydon was a charming little town. We didn't have reservations and dining room was not very large and they had to maintain social distancing but fortunately we were able to get table because we came pretty early for dinner. We enjoyed almost everything we ordered. Our entrees were delicious and very generous portions. The only nit picky points I have are that the watermelon gazpacho soup was too sweet (seems like sugar was added unnecessarily) and the peach tea cocktail was also overly sweet. read more

My wife and I love this place. Have been many times and have not had a single bad experience. The food and people are top notch!

Great little place. Super good food too! First time visit today. I wasn't impressed with the menu but my daughter-in-law arrived first and ordered a few things and I was very impressed. Everything I had was superb. As good as I have had anywhere in the world. Definitely recommend! read more

Great food (the fried green tomatoes rock!), awesome variety of dishes along with some consistent favorites, and the staff are always helpful and kind. The atmosphere inside and out is enjoyable. We have also really enjoyed the ease of pick-up during Covid. read more

We tried this cute little place a few months ago and couldn't wait to come back! It did not disappoint and only wished we lived closer to try all the entrees. We started with the egg rolls and they were crispy on the outside and crunchy veggies on the inside. Two of us got the crispy chicken with fingerling potatoes, broccoli, and spaghetti squash. The outside was definitely crispy and the inside was moist and juicy. It was all on a bed of delicious gravy. A friend got the crispy chicken last time, so decided on the fried meatloaf. He enjoyed it very much along with the mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The desserts looked amazing, but unfortunately we did not have any room left. read more

We are regular customers. Nothing but positive to say about the place until today. Owner has began making an extra 3% charge to your order to use a credit card. This is not good. It's a sign they are failing number one. I don't want them to fail. It's also taking advantage of customers and many people don't carry $50-100 cash with them. This is a very poor decision 1816 needs to reconsider. read more

Incredible food and drink. Very friendly and professional staff. Loved it. I can't wait until my travels bring back this way.

My brother in law and I went to 1816 tonight after making a reservation at 6pm, and had the most unbelievable experience that I've ever had. My brother in law had finished eating and I was still eating my ramen, and our server came up and asked if we'd like desert. We declined, but my brother in law ordered another drink. When the server returned with the drink, she then proceeded to tell us we had 5 minutes before we'd need to leave because they had another reservation waiting outside and they needed our table. I was still eating my dinner!! This was at 7pm. Then, after the five minutes was up, another employee came out and told us we needed to leave right now for the other reservation. At this point, I was beyond pissed. I told her why do we have to leave? There's two empty tables behind us. She stated they were going to use those tables along with ours to combine them together because that reservation was for a large group. I then pointed out that the table next to us had a family sitting there that had been there when we arrived and they weren't being asked to leave. They didn't have a response for that. I also stated how our reservation confirmation email showed that we were confirmed to be at the restaurant from 6-7:30 and it was only 7. Once again, no good response other than to say, they mismanaged the reservation. How is that our fault?? It was the most bananas thing I've ever experienced. The owner then came out and gave us a piece of "consolation cheesecake" in a to-go for having to make us leave. Truly unbelievable and we will NOT be returning and have spread the word to others. read more

Food is superb. Followed them from Gospel Bird in New Albany. The only reason we give them 3 stars is we called at 11:30 am to reserve a table in the dining room at 6:15 and when we arrived they offered us a table upstairs which is accessed from outside the building and the seating area upstairs is simply an overflow area that does not resemble the restaurant at all. Would love to come back, but his is third time this has happened to us. read more

Best meal in Corydon. Fun place with delicious cocktails and creative dishes. Yum!! The fried green tomatoes were the best I've ever had and we loved the shrimp and grits and the steak and frites. But I think my favorite thing was the basil gimlet!!! The owner , staff, and chef all stopped by our table to check on things - this is a great place!! read more

We are so excited this just opened. We just moved to the area and happy to have such a cute place to eat and drink. The food is incredible, fresh and layered with flavors. For only being open 4 weeks they nailed it. It is not typical for new restaurant to be so on top of it. So lucky we have this place....it is a must stop. We will be back often. read more

Great food. Great service. But seriously the food was amazing. It's a great choice dinner or takeout

Delicious, and atmosphere is very pleasant. We had the fried green tomatoes, Smash Burger and the Pork Belly General Tao. We brought home the Apple Cheesecake for later The music was enjoyable with great attention paid to the acoustics. Wouldn't change a thing. We are looking forward to our next visit to experience different items on the menu. So happy to have them in downtown Corydon. read more

This is literally the best restaurant in Corydon! I love everything about this place, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, the drinks strong and even the music was good. We ordered pretty much everything on the menu as a group and everything was delicious. Please stay! This is exactly what we need. We usually have to drive to Louisville to get food like this. read more

Rude. Asked if they could accommodate 9 people outdoor, answer was no, maximum was 8. Asked about indoor, answer was no. No, sorry we can't. Obviously they don't need the business read more

The service was excellent. The food was delicious. My only complaints are about the WiFi & mimosas. They listed free WiFi on the Yelp page, but it wasn't available. Mimosas are not typically served on the rocks in a wine glass with a straw. I actually, NEVER IN MY 45yrs, have EVER been served a mimosa on the rocks. It really dilutes the champagne. You might as well serve a white wine with OJ. Please don't try to reinvent a drink. It's not a pleasant surprise. read more

Outstanding service and food. They were able to accommodate our large party on a Friday night and provided excellent service and the food was fabulous. We will definitely be dining there again when we visit. read more

Ordered the salmon for one entrée, and the pork chop for the other. Everything was very salty. Could hardly taste the mashed potatoes for the salt on the pork chop entrée. Also had the eggrolls, which were tasty. read more

If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. It's not an exaggeration to say this food was phenomenal. We chose this place at random while on a road trip and could not have been happier. We started with Brussels sprouts, got the steak and General Tso pork belly for dinner, and ended with the apple cheesecake. Highly recommend all of those. I wish it were closer, so I could try the rest of the menu! read more

Unique spin on southern flare in a nicely remodeled space of a former town staple. Come with an open mind and empty belly and maybe check out the menu on Facebook before you go so you can google the ingredients :-). You may not recognize all the names but that's ok, dive in and experience something new! The best ramen I've ever had, sweet potato biscuits are amazing, the smoked apple on the classic fried green tomato with pimento cheese is the best 6th man in food! If you aren't a FGT person go for the truffle fries or spring rolls. Don't forget the Apple cheesecake (or whatever cheesecake is on the menu) for dessert. For a cocktail it's gotta be the the Old Capitol Fashioned, you are in Indiana's first state Capital so embrace it! read more
