    Vegetarian dish
    Pat E.

    My first time here! Worth the 20 minute wait time on Saturday morning for a table. Our server, Seth, was excellent. He was very helpful in explaining the dishes and helping us make our choices. His recommendations were absolutely 100% . I had the vegetarian sweet potato & kale& brussell sprouts dish with korean influences. So yummy & more than enough to take home. Ole boy had the chicken sandwich which was on a biscuit. I have to say the biscuits here are OUTSTANDING. No need for jams, but there are unique varities to choose from. The chef driven menu is noticeably prepared with , as they say, "confidence". Oh yeah, and don't pass on the drinks.......you'll be missing out!

    Delicious!! This is a must go too when I visit my sister! The staff and restaurant itself is very nice and they are extremely attentive!! The food here is delicious! I highly recommend getting an order of biscuits!! It's comes with many jams and it very soft and nice! Drinks are great here as well!

    I was in the area and had to come visit again (#2). This time was just as great as the last. Fantastic service! The entrees were hot, delicious, flavorful and yummy. Best biscuits I have tasted. I opted for the donuts - they were out of bread pudding , which means I have to go back to visit again so I can have bread pudding... I will definitely call ahead.

    The food was really good! Loved getting the food served in metal tins and cast iron. The waiter explained where the concept came from which was interesting.

    This place is a hidden gem in Kentucky. The food here is excellent and the service was amazing. Seth did a great job providing recommendations. I recommend the bread pudding. It changes based on the season but you won't be disappointed. The serving size is generous so bring your appetite.

    Incredible! First let me say I'm not from the area. This thing called Goetta? Why is it not served outside Cincinnati. I lived it! Great service and food was awesome. Biscuits were soft and tasty and great gravy too. Fried eggs were perfect. Have to stop here!

    So many stars, I don't know where to start. Saw this place on Yelp - gave it a try for my birthday, and was not disappointed. Three hungry dudes came in for brunch and we couldn't decide between Gold Shoes and Trail Pickins, so we got both (if you thought 7 biscuits between three of us was enough, think again). We especially liked the Creole and Goetta gravies. The Peppercorn one was just okay. The pickles in the Trail Pickins were fantastic - as were both jellies and butter. I kind of scoffed at the jelly/butter assortment (do people really get this?) - answer: Yes. And you should too! The entrees were also fantastic. I think the consensus among us was we would all get the Steak and Eggs if we came back. The Oregon Trail was a healthier option for sure - the shrimp and grits were great too - but man, that steak with chimichurri was fantastic! We also got a dessert, but that may have been one too many biscuits for us. It was a birthday splurge, but probably not again - just because we were so full from the appetizer biscuits and the generous portions in the entrees! Service was excellent. We sat outside - wait staff was attentive and make good recommendations for it being our first time. We definitely want to come back soon!

    Cool place and very friendly.

    We really enjoyed the biscuit waffle. We'd never had that before. It was tender, crispy and buttery. The same could be said for the drop biscuits. The chicken and sawmill gravy were a bit too salty for our "low sodium" taste buds but we loved the espresso maple syrup that brought the whole dish together. Servers were super attentive to our needs. I liked the upbeat music and it wasn't too loud. What we wish the had: more cozy secluded booths. It was pretty open and loud. Also, they have no decaf coffee which I prefer. All in all we enjoyed our meal and will be back to try their other delicious-looking menu options.

    Ok this is officially my favorite place. Been a year since last going (time flies) and when we showed up, Nancy and her big smile greeted us. After talking she remembered us from last time we were there. As many people as they have come thru their doors, she actually remembers everyone. Food was awesome and we chatted with Nancy the whole time, as it was a slow day. Don't live close so it's a hike getting there, however need to suck it up and go more often. Very rarely do you get outstanding service and food in the same place. Big thanks to Nancy and her great crew.

    I know it sounds a bit out there but we had a gravy flight and was not disappointed. The food is great, but the prices are on the high end for Lexington.

    Just believe me when I tell you....go once, don't read and dissect the menu! Be adventurous and you will love EVERY bite! My husband and I both had their weekend special, Lamb Hash. The way the chef combines flavors is like a piece of art. Not just the presentation, but textures and flavor. The shredded lamb mixed with lamb sausage was incredible, but you add sweet potatoes, radishes, sliced jalapeños and top that with sunny side up eggs and tzatziki sauce......I'm NEVER speechless, but I can't think of an adjective that would do his dish justice!! His wedge salad dressing was the perfect thickness and there was no doubt it was house made!! We shared the salad, but having left overs is never a bad thing either! Now, for their Bloody Mary!! It's perfection, like I stated before. Devon was so attentive and saw my garnish was eaten quickly, so he came out with another garnish of havarti and cucumber! Customer service never disappoints here!! I truly thought the restaurant had been open a long time, because the vibe felt like a place you've been to for years. I've already made plans with my friend to come for her birthday!!

One of the best parts of being addicted to trivia is when you are craving…read moretrivia on an off night during the slow reopening from Covid, you end up going to a part of town you don't normally frequent. And, doing that, you end up discovering new awesome places. That's exactly how we came cross Papa's Bourbon and Beer House. Never would I ever have found this off-the-beaten path bar and it's adjacent pizza joint. On Wednesdays, they host trivia from Last Call Trivia. If you haven't done, what are you waiting for?!?! It's fantastic. If you are concerned about the viurs, know that they have an open patio for seating, and signs that suggest you must remain seated during your stay. Not a lot of crowding or mixing is going on, in other words (inside at the bar is another story). Our trivia host was awesome. Our server, Jordan, was too. They have a pretty good bourbon selection and my SO is a bourbon fan. I had the peach smash, which was refreshing, tasty, and perfect for a warm summer night. Our pizza, from next door, hit the spot. I'd love to go back and try the pizza fries, the antipasta salad, and the wings. So, yeah, I'm a fan. I'm not sure how the bar is on a regular night. YMMV.

The beer selection is definitely lacking, both draft and bottle. They seem to concentrate more on bourbon and cocktails, and unfortunately I'm not a big fan of either.

The bread is funky - tastes a bit like rye, but it's white (or wheat), the "sauce" is horrid, and the entire thing has kind of a dense quality that doesn't quite hit the mark. Again, probably an acquired taste, something some people like, but I suspect it's a select few. It's WORK to get through this thing, and you regret eating any of it finished, or in my case, given up and tossed the remainder you didn't eat. Thankfully, I wasn't a winner of a free sandwich every week for 52 weeks as part of the grand opening celebration. Nothing about this is a celebration. It is a shame really, because the surrounding area shows promise in development, you should pick another restaurant nearby if Schlotzky's is not your thing.

Not wrong, but different than we are used to. Employees were kind. The time it took to prepare our food was reasonable, especially on a Sunday afternoon. Now the only reason I am giving a 4 star instead of 5: this location has Cinnabon. The counter appears to have Cinnabon items under a warmer but this was misleading. My churros were hard, stale, and cold. Based on the menu pictures, I expected it to come with icing dip. We left and I realized I did not receive icing. I should have went back in to complain about the taste but didn't. My husband got a cookie sandwich with icing in the middle. Assuming this was also a Cinnabon product, he said this was very good. Conclusion: I will definitely return for the sandwiches.
