It's named for Boone County, and it's out in the boondocks. Well off the beaten path but 100% worth the detour. This place is so country, and oozing with Kentucky hospitality. There's plenty of seating and good country music surrounding you. Plenty of high tops in the big bar room and there's a second dining area set off with low tables. We sat at the bar and were served by Candida who alerted us that it was $9 burger day - all burgers plus a side for $9 instead of $11 or $12. My husband had the Boonedocks Burger with side of broccoli. Burger was fresh, big and tasty and he was so pleased they cooked the broccoli nice and soft as he likes it. The sliders were the most generously sized ones I've ever seen. Pretzel bites were the bomb. There's chalk boards all around with specials info, featured items, clever commentary and some artwork. Behind the bar the board informs you of the WiFi password and the name of the bartender on duty. Brilliant! The bar has purse hooks. So convenient! Atmosphere, comfort, food, service, staff, all was top notch. If we pass this way again would return for sure.

Beef salad to go with

Food was just ok. My husband got the chili burger and didn't really care for the chili, almost like it was old. The bar is spacious or you can sit outside on the patio. If I come back it'll be to drink at least the beer is cold. I got the beef salad to go bc we were already to go by the time I got the food. It was good but it didn't look very pleasant. Overall I can't recommend this place unless you are complacent with room temperature bar food. If you don't mind that then this is your hole.

Horrible service. We sat at the bar & the three gals behind the bar went out of their way to ignore us. Wouldn't even make eye contact.

We came during a busy time, but I think service could have been just a little better! The food was good!

Food could be better but it's bar food. Beer and atmosphere is good . If your looking to hang out and have a few it's a nice place.

What a treat! Daughter and I were out exploring country roads in Clermont County when, by mid…read moreafternoon, we'd realized we hadn't had lunch. A quick search had us aiming for The Front Street Cafe in New Richmond, facing the mighty Ohio River. Their lunch menu had exactly what we needed on this freezing day: paninis! I had the Brie and Turkey, daughter had the Brisket French Dip. We traded halves to double our taste sensations. Wonderful! Served with super crispy chips. We feel lucky to have found this place that makes homemade, skillfully crafted meals! Waitress was outstanding and friendly, and our meal was served up promptly. We snagged the table by the fire -- perfection! The place seemed very cozy but did in fact have many tables. Great paintings of river scenes on the walls. We were literally the only customers due to the time of day, but it clearly gets a loyal dinner and brunch crowd -- and the dinner menu looked tasty! Easy street parking.

I got the chicken bacon ranch panini wrap with chips and coleslaw. The coleslaw has a sweetness to it that I wasn't a fan of. I do wish that was disclosed or a description somewhere. The wrap was fantastic. I ordered the seasonal St. Patrick's Day cake. It was pretty dry and not good. I took it home figuring someone else would eat it but ended up throwing it away. I then ordered the cheesecake as a safe bet and it was fresh and delicious.
