Stopped by for a ribeye sandwich. The staff is very nice. They were grilling them up on the patio…read more It was delicious! We looked around while there and the food all looked so good...from bacon wrapped asparagus to boudin stuffed chicken or pineapple stuffed pork chops! I will absolutely come back to pick something up to throw on the grill.

When we walked by the smell, or better said the aroma caught our attention. We had to walk in. This is a place for meat lovers.

Wish I had bought more, but you can order online. Owners are super kind, and friendly. I believe good things are coming their way, cause it looks like they are expanding. So if you visit Lauren, visit The Knight Butcher as well, they won't disappoint.

First the negatives... main dining room has black floors, black walls and black ceiling with…read moreexceptionally BRIGHT lights creating a difficult and awkward environment where you feel like you are on a stage! To see across the dining room one has to shield one's eyes with one's hands.... Paint the walls gray, and put some shades on those bright lights! Best to ask for the other dining room which has a much better environment for your eyes and senses. Flatware is the CHEAPEST sold to restaurants, terrible, just like the cheap flatware used by The Loft. Server was friendly for sure but not professional. None of the servers could tell you anything about any of the wines... except for the difference in color! Owners, teach your staff about the wine list! Your servers should know what a Malbec is and that it's from the Mendoza region in the Andes of Argentina, for example. We each had a dish that included a flatiron steak. Sadly our steaks were incredibly tough and chewy. I was able to eat ZERO of it... first bite... chew chew chew until it arrived at its destination, in a paper napkin. Same outcome for bites two and three.... Both ended up in my napkin! The server failed to notice that everything on my plate was gone but the steak appeared untouched! She should have noticed that the other foods were disappearing but the steaks sat appearing untouched on our plates. Green beans, shrimp, pasta dishes all a 10 out of 10! We will go back as overall this is a decent place to eat! However, still waiting on the down town Laurel restaurants to class it up! After all, we are a tourist town (HGTV-Home Town fans) and our guests are here daily from all over the country and world. Train the staff, learn the wines, ditch the cheap flatware, think about adding cloth napkins... and paint the dining room and dim those flood lights!

I have being hearing from locals about this place and their salad bar. When you go in you can go…read moredirectly to the salad bar line. Very clean!

You can also order cauliflower crusted pizza if you are gluten free. They also have pizzas, calzones, and sandwiches to order. Stop in and enjoy!

I had the BBQ fried chicken sandwich with potato salad, hubs had the Philly Cheesesteak. Our 16 m/o was going to get the corn dogs but they ran out; he really likes shrimp and they were so kind to accommodate to his liking with 5 grilled shrimp (not on the kids menu) and fries. If we're ever in the area again, I would stop and try some more of their items!

My order finally came about 10 minutes after my friends order was served, she had ordered the exact same except items, however her order came with a whole Angus club instead of the half plus the half spud. I had also ordered tea with lemon and when I glanced at my receipt I noticed it listed "extra lemon" with a price of almost $2.00 plus an added thin dill spear which I did not order at a cost of almost $2.00. The food was good but if I go back I'll have to remember to specify no dill spear or lemon and pocket the almost $4.00 rip off additional items.

I ordered the grilled shrimp basket with new potatoes (small red skin potatoes) and it comes with bread. There were a generous amount of shrimp but not a lot of favor.

I would suggest finding a table first if you're dining in. Enjoy!
