    Filet Au Poivre
    Summer S.

    I've been coming to 440 since college but I no longer live in bowling green and only eat it a couple of times per year. Let's talk appetizers. The Nashville hot burrata is unique and tasty. The spinach and artichoke dip has changed for the worse. It used to be the best spin dip I've ever had but I would not order this new version again. We also tried the deviled eggs and they were good. For entrees we got a salmon Caesar salad, the filet au poivre , and a spinach salad. My filet au poivre was delicious as always. Those garlic mashed potatoes are everything. My friend was celebrating a birthday so they brought her out free cheese cake and it was light and fluffy and amazing. I had some red wine left so I ordered the flourless chocolate cake. It was meh. Wouldn't order again. They should bring back the flourless chocolate torte with raspberry sauce.

    6 oz fillet and perfect Manhattan!!

    Local gem alert! I chose this restaurant based on Yelp reviews and sat at the bar just like always. The bar has an old school local feel. It's a little, but not too, loud and reminded me of places I used to go with my dad. Sidney, Todd (who was enjoying his first night as a bartender) and Gillian teamed up to take great care of me. Service was excellent and I struggled with the menu because everything looked so good. I settled on the Cajun spring rolls and the small (6 oz) fillet, medium rare. The spring roll appetizer consisted of three spring rolls and a wonderful sauce. My fillet was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. All of my food came out hot. If this place was in my neighborhood, I would eat here once a week. Cheers!

    I found this place on Yelp and saw that it had amazing reviews. When you walk in, there are two options - on the left is 440 Main, and on the right is Micki's on Main. We decided to eat at Micki's, which has a similar menu to 440 Main. Their atmosphere was rockin' - literally! They had two gentlemen singing with guitars, and the entire place was singing along, definitely our kind of spot. Our server was super nice, had blondish/brown curly hair, was tall - attentive, and was on top of us whenever we needed refills, etc. We started with their cajun spring rolls, crispy outside, and jam-packed with flavor and spices. The mango BBQ sauce it laid on, I could have drank it was so good. For dinner, I tried their stuffed chicken with chorizo and spinach and swapped the side for their risotto - exceptional. A thick piece of chicken, sliced in half and stuffed, the risotto was creamy a bit al dente, but still delicious. For drinks I tried their champagne/gin seasonal/new years drink, it was balanced nicely. The food was yummy, the music was great, and the drinks were top-notch! Highly recommend stopping by.

    The food was EXCELLENT! I had a special of the day, Red Fish, that was to DIE FOR! The ambiance was a little too dark, making it difficult to read the menu. And the fact that there's a VERY popular bar right through open doorways made conversation pretty difficult. We were a group of 20, and only had one waiter assigned, so service was pretty slow. For such a classy place, I would've thought that they should have someone assisting him with water refills and clearing of plates. It was good, but I feel it could've been better.

    Very busy Saturday night and only one waiter for a group of twenty. Handled graciously and as best as could be expected. Formal setting by candlelight. The food was very good with designated gf offerings. Choices could be made from a dinner menu or a more casual bar menu. Set in a quaint old building in the downtown area. The bar area was lively with music and a jammed crowd who were obviously enjoying a Saturday night.

    Mickis is the bar next to 440 Main and is top notch! You can order from the bar menu or even the fulll 440 menu! Food is plentiful at reasonable prices so recommend checking it out!!

    In Bowling Green there is a place called 440 Main...a building built for John Getty in 1871. Sat at the bar and Jillian got me set up with some water and a beer while I looked things over. You can order from the 440 Main or the Micki's on Main menu (both under same ownership) so I asked Jillian for advice. Based on her suggestion I went with the Cajun Spring Rolls and the special Summer Vegetable Cioppino. The spring rolls were incredible...highly recommend you order an extra helping of the Mango Barbeque Sauce cause it is addicting. I've never had Cioppino but this was loaded with all kinds of seafood and veggies in a robust tomato wine sauce. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the "leek hay"...just did not like the texture but it was easy to move it aside. The food was great and the service from Jillian was excellent.

    Tuesday night is burger night on the bar side of 440 called Micki's on Main. For $7.95 you get to choose from several different types of burgers that come with nicely seasoned fries. We were lucky to snag a table inside. It was too hot outside for me to eat. The table was dirty but the waitress was there pretty quickly to clean it and bring us menus. We started with the bbq shrimp and grits appetizer. Highly recommend it. I had the special bar old fashioned which was very nicely done. Just because you're in the bar doesn't mean you can't order off the dining room menu. My date choose a garden salad, filet and French fries. I had the cheddar bacon burger and fries. It's a nice big burger and fries for this price! Tip: it is very busy on Tuesday if you come at prime dinner time. Be patient and you will find a table or a place at the bar. No reservations.

    I visited Slim Chickens in Bowling Green for the first time yesterday and left with mixed feelings…read more The atmosphere reminded me a bit of Raising Cane's--but with wings and salads on the menu, which was a nice twist. When I walked in, I was greeted by what looked like a young teenager at the register. He was polite, but when I asked whether the wings were breaded or naked (since I'm trying to stick to a restrictive diet), he wasn't sure and couldn't give me a clear answer. That was a little surprising since it seems like something the staff should be familiar with. I ordered the 8-piece buffalo wings and specifically asked for no fries or bread. I was given a table place card and a drink cup, and everything moved along pretty smoothly after that. However, when my food was brought to the table, it still came with fries and bread--both of which I couldn't eat. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely disappointing since I had asked ahead of time. Service overall was just okay--not terrible, not great. The wings themselves were actually really good, which redeemed the experience a bit. I might give them another try, but next time I'll probably double-check my order when it arrives.

Ok.. first the wings. They have like 8+ flavors. Wings weren't huge but flavor Buffalo flavor was spot on. Came "wet" which was perfect fine. Perfect crisp on them. Again.. got this thru a drive thru. Totally will try these again Chicken tenders. Crispy, fresh. Yes yes yes. I brought home some for kids to try and they said "raising canes has nothing on these tenders. Probably the best ever- even reheated." But the star of the show. Totally surprise was the fried mushrooms. Batter wasn't thick like most restaurants, which hides the flavor of the mushrooms. Legit. The best fried mushrooms I've ever had. I just wish the had a dipping sauce for the mushrooms. Maybe they do.?? Ranch worked well but yeah.. these are the best. Fries were fine. Nothing special. Ranch and blue cheese were really good. For fast food... these is a 4 if 5. Carried by the tenders and mushrooms. Looking forward to them expanding to more locations. Get the fried mushrooms....

We ordered chicken nuggets for my kiddo ($7), and I'm pretty sure they make them in-house. They were shaped like dinosaurs but actually full of real chicken -- moist, flavorful, and honestly the best nuggets I've had anywhere. The building is brand new, ultra clean, and decorated adorably. It's very kid-friendly, and the staff couldn't have been kinder. They keep a variety of sauces on each table (Louisiana hot sauce, A1, ketchup, tartar sauce, and more), which is such a nice touch. I truly can't find a single fault and already can't wait to come back. One tip: it fills up quickly at dinner -- but tables turn over fast, so don't let that scare you off!
