    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!

    Really yummy, I do believe it is all made in house. The portions are amazing! The service is…read moredecent, a little slow but I was there when they were busy.

    Only plus is that this place is popular with the locals. That also is the biggest minus, as we…read morearrived at 12:30 pm and did not receive our food for an hour. The service was not only slow, but unfriendly as well. While we were brought refills on drinks and the coleslaw that came with one of our sandwiches, they were thrown down without a word. The same was true for our food when it finally arrived with the check as well. There was also not a word of apology for the long wait. I should mention that we were among several tables that waited a lengthy amount of time for their orders. There is a sign by the cash register (only visible when leaving!) that says "we specialize in fresh food, not fast food, so please be patient." It's an admirable goal, but not if the expectation is that customers will be fine with waiting an hour for said fresh food. Our sandwiches were good, but that may be because we were ravenous when they finally showed up! My impression is that Family's Main St Restaurant is primarily a hangout for locals to catch up with one another while waiting for breakfast or lunch. While there's a place for restaurants like this, I do not recommend it to travelers who want to eat in a reasonable amount of time and go on their way.
