We ordered the bacon breadsticks. They were good as long as you ate on the outside. The middle was soggy and checked the dough was not fully cooked. We ordered the supreme pizza. The crust of the pizza. Was good and toppings were good as well. No issues there. The main issue was the sauce. It was basically all tomato paste but did not taste like tomato or did really have any flavor. It was odd at best. Other things observed. My wife noticed French fries in a heating box. They were there when sat down and did not move until we already had our pizza. It was at least 10-15 minutes. Then it was served to the table behind us. Needless to say they did not eat but a few of them. We looked after they left. From what I heard around everyone else likes the Alfredo sauce and the bruschetta. I do not think I will be returning. If I do I will be trying the pasta with Alfredo. The prices were fair and the service was good. I just really wish I could say the pizza was worth it.

I decided on a whim that I would run out here for a weekday lunch. I decided on the BBQ sandwich and potato salad. It was a great, tender tasty pork bbq with a good dollop of coleslaw on top. The potato salad could have used a bit of mustard, but that is just me being a mustard lover. LOL You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. Everyone is friendly and the service was fast, I had no problem eating here on my lunch hour. I loved the location. It is actually in an old elementary school lunchroom. They have a pretty extensive menu on the blackboard. There were several things on the menu I want to try so I will be back. I saw that they had handicapped accessible entrance but did not use it. The hours are pretty limited so I would double check their social media before heading that way.

Finding Mediterranean cuisine anywhere can be difficult, but having such fine Mediterranean food…read moreright in the heart of Lancaster is nearly unbelievable. This place has a name and an exterior that hides what it really is--an understated place with massive Mediterranean flavor and quality. Tonight my wife and I came in around 7 or so on a Saturday night, an hour before they closed and with a show going on at the Lancaster Grand across the street. We were their second to last customer for the night. The place was packed when we got in, with close to 10 parties seated. One was a very large group. Working was the owner at the grill, his wife on apps and plating, and one young man waiting tables and bussing. We overheard that their second waiter had called in that night--naturally your help calls in on your busiest nights. It is likely for this reason that the lady below left her unsavory review about the wait time. She was probably hungry and they probably had somebody call in, and they went to their show hungry so she took it out on this restaurant's page on Yelp. I'd say that blame falls on her lacking perspective more than this restaurant lacking quality. Some folks from the area may not be accustomed to food like this, and it may not hit them right. But folks who know good food will love this place, as we heard multiple other patrons raving about how good their food was. Ours was no exception. I got the three kabob shawarma platter which was excellent (though the "market price" for it ended up being an astounding $46. The idea must be to share it among two or three folks.) My wife really enjoyed her hummus with chopped up chicken shawarma and roasted almonds, just superb with the pita chips and pita bread served alongside. Y'all, the hummus is special here. The food options in Lancaster are limited. You've got your standard bbq spots, the little pasta place around the corner in the Lancaster square which I've reviewed separately, your token Mexican restaurant, and then your fast food chains. This spot is a real hole in the wall that outshines all of them when it comes to flavor, while putting on no airs. Just be prepared to sit back, wait patiently to be served, and maybe inquire as to what the "market price" is if you (like me) weren't intending to come away spending $75 after tip (having ordered waters to drink).

We had been wanting to try East La Grill and so we decided to give them a try last night. We were…read moretold to seat ourselves when we arrived. We saw a man and a woman fixing food and three wait staff in the restaurant. The place seemed pretty busy, too, which we took as a good sign. We placed an order for two shawarma plates and a hummus appetizer. Then we sat. We heard a man sitting at the bar say he had been waiting for his food for over half an hour. Uh oh. We heard the lady behind the counter fixing food yelling at the wait staff for the back up of orders. We asked about our appetizer two times when the staff came to check on us. We had been there over half an hour, and once we heard the lady tell them she would fix it but she never did. As we had plans to catch a show at Grand, we finally got up and left after sitting there for about an hour with no food coming out to us. Unfortunately, no matter how good the food might be, with service like this we do not plan to visit again.

I got the Autumn Island Potato & Pork (limited-time -- sweet potato + pork with a nutmeg sauce) and it was delicious -- tender pork, bold flavors. The menu's stacked too: jerk chicken, coconut shrimp, corn ribs. I'm coming back for those. AMBIENCE: Fun, laid-back Caribbean spot right on Main St in downtown Richmond. Does not feel like Kentucky in the best way. SERVICE: Staff talked me into the Painkiller and I'm glad they did! 8.5/10 -- highly recommend. Worth the drive from Lexington!

My wife had coconut shrimp and plantains and she loved them both. I went for the pork ribeye and holy smokes was it good. The fat was rendered and soft and wasn't overly fatty. The bread crumb topping sounded odd to me but that was what made the dish. It provided a rich buttery crunch to the soft chop. It was also cooked to perfection and juicy. This is now my "go to" dish here. Service was outstanding as usual and we spoke with the owners for a couple minutes and they were super kind and just great people!
