There were 3 booths available at the time we were seated. once again at the table in direct line of the front door, so a cold, windy, miserable experience. To add insult to our experienc, At the time we left one of the 3 empty booths was still empty. The food was fine but the lack of accommodation by the host was a total failure. Needless to say we won't go back.

As self-proclaimed connoisseurs of Mexican food, we always love trying new spots--and Don Jockey did not disappoint. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, a chorizo fundido. Not only was it delicious, but it arrived at our table in flames! I've ordered fundido in restaurants all over the country, and this was the first time it was served flaming. A fantastic surprise. My wife had the chicken mole enchiladas, and judging by her spotless plate, she loved them just as much. Our dining companions also enjoyed their meals, making it a great experience all around. One thing's for sure: the next time I'm back in Midway, I'll definitely be returning for another flaming fundido!

I have eaten dinner at/from Don Jockey three times. My experiences were very mixed…read more First time was in summer 2024 and we came in as a dinner party of six. We were with a couple who are regulars at Don Jockey and we enjoyed cocktails, appetizers and dinner and all was great. 5 stars. Was in Midway last week and earlier this week. Came in for a late dinner as a party of four. Ordered birria tacos (2 orders) and a burrito and some other tacos. Waitress was very good and the food was good, but nothing special. Ordered a very large to-go dinner order a few nights later, and the food was mediocre at best. I understand food is better in a restaurant, fresh onto your plate and table. But it was more than that. The quantities in the to-go orders were small and my fajitas had a teaspoon of guacamole and sour cream. Disappointing. I did not take pictures of any of these meals.

Even…read morethough it wasn't busy tonight, I could imagine it being a hot spot during peak bourbon touring season. My recommendation, make reservations. Since this was my first time here, I sat at the bar and asked the severer to recommend what I should try first. She ranted about the pickle brine chicken sandwich that's drizzled with hot honey. It has a side of veggies and coleslaw. I am so glad I took her recommendation because this was delicious. I also tried the chocolate bread pudding but to be honest this wasn't good at all. It tasted more bitter than sweet. I didn't even finish it. I'd pass on it. This was my big disappointment for the night. However, I didn't let the bad bread pudding ruin the night, because everything else was so good. I think this is a perfect spot to grab a bite while enjoying a bourbon trail tour.

speakeasy with immaculate vibes? don't mind if I do!…read more The service was incredible. They explained every detail of the menu and were super accommodating. We had a large party but drinks came out quickly and the quality was excellent. Drinks are around $18 a piece but you are paying for the ambiance and experience. This is perfect for a date night or a unique experience with friends. It is hard to get into as it's a smaller space so make a reservation ahead of time if you can. You ring a bell and are taken through a bookcase to get in. It was such a great experience. I will definitely be back!

A foosball table, a backgammon set, deep wood colors and an art deco vibe. This dark, moody little bar had a friendly bartender and unusual drinks. I had the "I Go Where I'm Led," made with kimchi infused vodka, gin, dolin dry, and celery salt. It did indeed taste like kimchi and was certainly weird. I also had the "Need 3," made with prosciutto basil infused gin sotol, amaro obscuro, bitters, and soda. Also a savory, bizarre drink that I'm glad I tried, but wouldn't get again. They have more conventional cocktails as well, like the Paper Plane, Naked and Famous, Corpse Reviver #2. They have IPAs and plain Miller Lites. They have basic red, white, and sparkling wine. Prices range from 8-13 dollars.

All the workers were clearly intoxicated/on drugs, and were dancing to static playing on the speakers. I was hoping for a better experience, instead I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome.
