Food was unique, but nice. Don't expect the usual items you see on other menus. I definitely liked the wontons and the FGT BLT. My date enjoyed her Pomento Sammy. The service and staff were extremely friendly. Loved the old building (I was told it used to be an old drug store in Maysville's heyday). It's definitely worth a visit. Hope to make it back again. read more

Babz Bistro IS NO LONGER A FOOD TRUCK! It is now located in a beautiful historic building in the heart of beautiful, historic Maysville, KY. Staying in town for several days to visit the amazing KBS Miniatures Collection (the Louvre of dollhouse miniatures - highly recommend!), I had the opportunity to eat here a few times - it's only open until 3pm or I would have eaten here more! The food is highly creative in its mix of ingredients; so fresh and delicious! One lunch we were lucky enough to score the Mussels in Spicy Broth special. I love mussels and I can't remember the last time I had such plump, perfectly-cooked mussels. The best I've had in ages! I can also recommend the KY Classic Salad that comes with two slices of the crispiest fried green tomatoes I have ever had and a slice of Babz signature cornbread, cut into 1"x4"x1" pieces and refried so they are brown and crunchy on the outside, moist and delectable on the inside. Service is excellent as you would expect in a family-owned and run place. Barbara is the daughter of the locally-famous chef Babz, for whom the restaurant is named. Barbara has clearly inherited her mother's genius for cooking and hospitality. Barbara's husband Al is there too, making all the guests feel special, while doing a great job serving the fabulous food. There is indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor tables catching a nice breeze from the Ohio river, three blocks away. In short, this is the best, and healthiest, place to eat in Maysville. Do come, y'all! read more

I truly love this place! They have fantastic dishes with such unique flavor combinations. Their service is always warm and welcoming. We love coming here for lunch or I will order ahead and take it home for dinner after work. Both options are great and you never wait long for your food. To speak even more to their hospitality, I had an issue with one of my take home orders that I didn't realize until I got home. I informed them of it, more so to prevent the mistake from being made again, not expecting anything out of it. Next time I visited, they recognized me and comped my meal! Totally unexpected but very much appreciated. It's this service that will keep me coming back (and of course the fantastic food). read more

The food is sooo delicious! I appreciate the creativity and fusion of dishes. The tea is tasty, seems there a different one every time in addition to the typical sweet/unsweet teas. The ambiance and decor is very cool, with airs of rustic simplicity. I would go there again! read more

Babz Bistro - Fried green tomato BLT - Salad Near Me - Maysville, Kentucky

This is an interesting one for me. First atmosphere: the place is beautiful. The view of Market St. is amazing too. I love the atmosphere. Second... the staff! So warm and inviting. So helpful in assisting us with our order and "what's good" for us first timers. Fantastic staff. Third... the food. I'm torn and let me be clear. The pimento cheese wontons were to die for. The corn bread amazing. Here's my complaint... the rice was super soggy and the pork had too strong of a pork taste for me. That sounds dumb, and I get it. But those two issues are all personal preference. I'm a heavy eater and unfortunately I couldn't even eat half of this when a normal day I'd clean the bowl. I do recommend giving this place a try. The location, the looks, the staff, and some of the food amazing! And maybe if I go back and try something else it would be amazing too. But, based off this meal, I'll stick to my guns on the 3 stars. read more

Babz Bistro - No Butts About It. - Salad Near Me - Maysville, Kentucky

The owners are super friendly and make sure your visit is top notch making you feel at home and definitely wanting to come back. The food is phenomenal. Tried the pimento wontons at the recommendation of one of the owners and totally didn't regret it. Such a unique combination you wouldn't think would work but oh my goodness. The mushroom soup, um, can I say thanksgiving in a bowl! Not only was it reminiscent of turkey stuffing your mom stuffed the turkey with, you leave feeling totally full wanting to unbutton that top button of your pants just like after Thanksgiving dinner. I couldn't eat it all! Well, the wontons and homemade cornbread could have helped with that as well. If you leave hungry I'd be totally shocked! My husband had the bean soup and pimento cheese with bacon grilled sandwich and he brought half the sandwich home. You definitely get your moneys worth. Can't wait for the bakery to open to see what other surprises they have up their sleeves. Such an inviting atmosphere with so much more on the horizon. Wishing all the best and much success to this new business! read more

What a beautiful place! The doors open to the street, the vintage fixtures and the lovely owner! Oh, did I not mention the food!? It was delicious! I enjoyed the matzah ball soup special, my mother had the forager sandwich. She loved the salmon with fried green tomatoes. Different and devine! We will definitely be making this a staple in our go to spots! read more

Food came out not as expected and the woman there running the show was horrible. Absolutely awful. She refused to fix it then demanded it get boxed then rudely said let me know how i can make your day better. I was a visitor and this place made a terrible impression on the town. Cute place, rude worker, mediocre food. read more

In Maysville for a short getaway and we stumbled on this amazing gem. Formerly a food truck now located in the old Masonic temple (the Cox building) on the corner of Market & 3rd. The interior was stunning with fresh flowers and a lot of natural light. We were immediately greeted and told to review the menu then come back to order. Deciding was difficult but we chose the pimento cheese wontons and we each got a bowl. Drink choices were water, tea, or a couple different canned sodas. After the first bite it was obvious you aren't there for the drinks. Fresh ingredients, thoughtfully combined, created an amazing experience. The tofu was sliced thin and fried crispy like southern catfish. Pepitas and apples gave a nice crunch. The Kalamata olives paired with sun dried tomato and smoked salmon in the other bowl had me going back for bite after bite. The homemade "ranch" dressing with the local fried squash was heavenly and not at all from a hidden valley. Fresh herbs were present throughout the meal. We saw a lot of carry out action, probably a homage to how epic their food truck must have been. Every person we interacted with was friendly and engaging and you could feel the absolute love for what they were doing. Next time we won't stumble across this - it's a destination location for an unforgettable dining experience. read more

If you've ever read "Babz Bites" column in The Ledger Independent (Maysville, KY) you may have experienced mouth-watering visions of the food and cuisine culture she describes for readers. Reading the recipes and stories she tells in no way prepares you for the delightful experience of eating in the charming courtyard of the home in historic downtown. Babz--Barbara, and her husband Allen are friendly and superbly hospitable. I had the chicken salad (her grandmother's recipe on toasted bread with a side of fresh pickled cucumbers. Dad enjoyed the bacon and fried green tomatoes with aioli on toast. I had promised myself to photograph our food before we ate it all. Alas, once we took a bite, there was no photo staging happening. If you've not checked out this back yard food truck yet, do it soon. I believe it will be your new favorite lunch destination. All ingredients and produce are locally sourced by the owners from area farms ensuring a fresh and original menu. I'm already anticipating my next stop for irresistible deliciousness. to Babz and Al. read more

Fresh foods, original food combinations and all delicious. I am a vegetarian and the use of a salty dill seasoning on crispy (not fried) tofu slices on fresh toasted bread with a fried green tomato was an unexpected and scrumptious sandwich. My husband had a bowl with rice, fresh greens and seasoned pork including a small side of pimento cheese wontons and cornbread. He was so surprised at the wontons, describing them as light and flavorful The owners and staff were welcoming and prompt. The atmosphere in a very old, restored building in the heart of Maysville was lovely. The warm salmon and sage colors along with old and new fixtures formed the perfect setting for a leisurely mid afternoon meal. To finish it off, we stopped by their bakery next door (open Thursday - Saturday) for a few cookies for the road. The prices are spectacular for the quality of the food. We will be back when we travel that way again. read more

The food is indescribable and the amount of food you get is enough for two-three meals. The service is excellent, and I love the outdoor seating and decor. I love the sandwiches and the "No Buts About It" meal. I also want to add that Babz is a genus when it comes to making up meals and cooking them. She has best fried green tomatoes I've ever had. read more

Deliciousness served up fresh to you straight out of an alley off a food truck. Delicious options and the heirloom tomato salad was a perfect side to accompany my giant fried green tomato tucked into my BLT or mine was a BLGT served up by the friendliest couple who work from the truck M- F in their backyard. Exactly the place you need to find and enjoy on their patio furniture. DELICIOUS!!!! read more
