    I had a great experience here at back home restaurant we were seated very quickly. The waitress was super nice. The establishment had down home country field to it. It was great. My food was excellent. I got fried chicken with gravy mashed potatoes and it was all very tasty. I definitely recommend it and I would be back.

    4 stars for what it is - charming southern fare! First time trying hot brown, and they delivered!

    Friendly service with a cozy atmosphere. Food was tasty but a bit pricey for lunch (which I know is the norm anymore). The convenience and comfort food brings us back every time.

    This was a great experience with excellent service, great food in a wonderful environment and prices. The hot brown, country fried steak and beans and cornbread were all great. Next time you get an opportunity stop by and check it out. They also have gifts and clothing as part of their gift shop.

    Garden Salad. Fresh and tasty.

    Delicious Home Cooking and Wonderful Servers. Food here is really good and reasonably priced. I recommend the fish tacos, the pinto beans, the cod, and any of the sides. It's a homey atmosphere and the restaurant has a boutique attached to it that sells candles, chocolates, home decor, and women's clothing. This is a great place for lunch.

    2 cod fish tacos with a side ( I paid a little extra for no fries) LOVED the sauce!!!!

    Oh my gosh- we came here for the first time on a Thursday afternoon for a late lunch and loved the experience. You park in a small gravel lot, cross over a bridge and feel the warmth before ever stepping into the large house turned restaurant. And.... there is boutique shopping inside- both upstairs and in the waiting areas so be sure to go up and check it out!!! I had the most delicious fish tacos - the slaw mixture was melt in your mouth yummy and each of the 2 tacos came with a long hearty piece of fried fish. Heavenly! And our wonderful server brought us drink refills which I always love. It's a house- so tables and booths are set up throughout all the rooms . It's quaint and delicious. Ladies room is a one seater so plan ahead for a line! We will definitely come back here! It's worth a traveler's time to get off the expressway and support this home cooking restaurant!

    This a regular favoriye for us. Never disappoints. I had the hot brown and broccoli casserole. My husband had the special. Both wonderful meals.

    As the name suggests, this is a comfort food place wrapped around a country furnishings gift shop. Always manned by the friendliest help you will find in this family run business. Don't expect anything complicated on the menu. It's all pretty basic American. I wanted to get the burger until I was told that they cook all the burgers well done. So I opted for three fried pieces of chicken breast on white macaroni with garlic toast. Joan had the fried green tomatoes and white chicken chili. I'm knocking a star because of not being able to get the burger medium, and another one for just lack of imagination on the menu. Example how about chicken thighs or chicken on the bone?

    Super cute place and walking in the door, you *think* you are going to get a great meal here. Unless you like all of your food coming straight from the can or package, you will be mistaken. My military son was even less impressed stating that it was the WORST meatloaf he has ever eaten! That's saying a lot as he is a very diplomatic person. My hubby made the joke that it was like an MRE and he said that the meatloaf would give a MRE a bad name. I'm so sad that we dropped $75 on an appetizer and our meals. Talk about a mark-up!!! Lort! I would never recommend this place and I wouldn't go back. Setvice was fine. Food was terrible. So sad to say this but man, what a disappointment!!

The waitress told us before we ordered of everything they were out of. One was white gravy. I had been torn between the Country Fried steak and their Spaghsana (some kind of spaghetti lasagna fusion). So the steak was out because of the gravy and I ordered the Spaghsana. After she put the order in she came back and said they were out of something for the Spaghsana so I ordered the pork chops with mashed potatoes & carrots. My wife ordered the Monte Cristo and was looking forward to their crescent rolls but they were cold when they're usually served hot appearing to be somewhat fresh. One big one and one half the size of the other. The paper they serve them on was burned on the corner. Not just singed, burned back a few inches. Didn't even have the care for quality's sake to replace the cheap piece of paper. Wow, that's bad. She said the Monte Cristo wasn't as good as usual. My pork chops were dry. I could only eat one as I just didn't want to eat any more. Chops and sides appeared to be pre-cooked and reheated. Another sign of a soon to fail restaurant. Very likely a corporate decision to prepare food this way to maximize profits. They call themselves a scratch kitchen giving the illusion that everything is cooked from scratch. Scratch my a$$. What kind of scratch ingredients were they out of for the gravy? Flour? Milk? Grease? Pepper? Couldn't be pepper as there was some on every table. Who runs out of the other stuff? They're staples in any kitchen. Or is it really not a scratch kitchen and their pre-made gravy wasn't delivered? Cut the order short? Or just poor management? The waitress said their staff was thin which sending staff home early is another sign of cutting back to maximize profits. My Caesar salad wasn't even Romaine now that I think of it. I think it was Iceberg with Caesar dressing. It was even turning brown in spots as if it was past its 'best by' date. All of the staff... the remaining staff was as nice as they could be though. We had decided if she said they were out of anything else, we were just going to leave. The sweet tea was good. That's a plus. We had eaten here many times but tonight was our last. Im sure I'll see soon that this location is closed. Although I've lived in Kentucky all of my life, this appears to be on par with most restaurants in this part of the state. Poor. The place was a bit dirty. There was even a piece of a pork chop on the floor underneath the table were some guy tried to stab it with a fork and it was so tough that it shot off the table. Well, I'm sure that's what happened as I was the guy.

We started with an order of corn bread and fried green tomatoes. The cornbread was served with Sorghum butter which I wasn't a huge fan of however I've been dreaming about those Fried Green Tomatoes ever since. They were served on top of Pimento Cheese, and covered in what seemed like a Chipotle sauce and as well as corn. They were fried to perfection, and the tomatoes were crisp. One of my friends got the deviled eggs which were also really good! I ordered their version of an espresso martini which I also wasn't a fan of, 10 / 10 don't recommend if you prefer them with real espresso so I switched to beer. It was a Thursday and they have a ton of TVs along with the Sunday ticket to watch Football so we were able to sit outside and watch the game which was nice. For my meal I got an order of 5 Chicken tenders and a basket of wedges to share. The chicken tenders were hand breaded, juicy and delicious!! I also got a few of the dipping sauce to try as well which were buffalo ranch, honey mustard, ranch and Jalapeño ranch and they were all really good and could tell they were homemade. The wedges were seasoned and were served with Chili Crunch Aioli which was fire! I also got to try the Mac and Cheese which was also really tasty! I can't wait to go back to try the other items on the menu!

Service was fast and the food was excellent. Next time, I will try to check out their Speakeasy, the Cavern Club.

    Sunday, 18 January 2026…read more Met friends at J.R. Neighbors for lunch. According to my friend, the have the best burgers in Etown! ‍ There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant (maybe 5, with 2-3 slots being reserved for handicap). There are nearby parking lots with plenty more parking. As it was a Sunday, we had no trouble finding parking. There were a few people ahead of us, maybe three different parties. My partner and I did not have to wait to be seated since the friends we were meeting had already arrived and got a table. We greeted our friends then reviewed the menu. Since it was around 12ish on a Sunday, only the brunch menu was available. Not long after, our waitress arrived to take drink orders. Shortly after that, and after the drinks arrived - pineapple mimosas, apple juice, and water, we ordered our food...mostly everyone had a burger. I had the Texan burger/sandwich which came on a Texas toast, hence the name, and my partner had the Newberry Smash burger (double). Each came with a choice of "regular" fries or tots. I wanted sweet potato fries, but again, since it was Sunday, only the brunch menu and what was displayed was available. So, I settled for regular fries. My burger was good albeit a bit messy with the sunny side egg running everywhere! The bacon topping the burger was perfectly done with the right crispy/crunchy consistency. My mimosas was refreshing except I did not get much of a pineapple taste. The fries were fresh and appropriately seasoned, not too salty and not too bland, just right. We were all full from our meals so we did not even consider dessert! The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded, so the atmosphere was quite. We sat by the windows and were not even distracted by the outside vehicles passing by. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend J.R. Neighbors to anyone looking for good burgers in a good atmosphere in Etown.
