Chicken tenders and fries
Angel L.

My husband and I are staying at Buffalo Trace State Park and had a terrible time getting there from our home near Columbus, OH. We finally got in and settled and were absolutely starving and exhausted so we searched for nearby restaurants and this one popped up. We went having no idea what to expect but were still surprised when we arrived. This place doesn't look like much from outside but we were already there and the parking lot was full which seemed like a good sign. The inside was just a dark, smoky bar (indoor smoking is not allowed where we are from so it was a HUGE shock) but it felt comfortable. The patrons were friendly and even though they were incredibly busy the bartender was also very sweet. We ordered chicken tenders, fries, and mozzarella sticks. My husband had a bottle of Bud Light and I had a Pepsi. The food came out pretty quickly. The tenders were crisp, the mozzarella sticks were stringy and gooey and perfect and the fries were seasoned spectacularly. I am a ketchup girl from the bottom of my heart but I didn't want or need any on those fries. And it was sooooo cheap. The food is simple but good and just what we needed after a hellacious day on the road. They had pool tables but we were too tired to play. My only complaint is that the music was SUPER loud so it was hard to hear my husband but, honestly, after the day we had that was probably a good thing.

The food here, as I said in another review on Google, is incomparable. Portions are generous, and…read morethe food is made with love, care, and generous spices. The staff are incredibly warm, excited to see you, and (time and level of traffic allowing) happy to make recommendations and conversation. The decor is charming, very amusing (Cafecito y Chisme light tickles me). The colors are warm and inviting. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to steal someone my daughter's horchata aqua frescas while I try to make space for dessert.

El Mananero offers sweet and savory breakfast options, plus sides and seasonal options. Check out…read moretheir menu online to help narrow down your selection. New to the menu are the tres leches pancakes, topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream. You get three pancakes. They were fluffy and the fruit was delicious. The cinnamon coffee was nice! It was overly sweet and I was excited to have a carafe to enjoy and refill my mug. The Concha Rellena wasn't my favorite. The pastry is thick and dry and a bit overpowering with Nutella. My son's club sandwich looked good, especially the thick bacon. It came with a side of potatoes. My husband ordered the chilaquiles mananero. Overall, a savory dish, but liking the chorizo is key because it's a major part of the dish. For me, it's overpowering which eliminates half of the menu for me. The restaurant offers quite a bit of seating. Our server was friendly and attentive. The private parking lot had plenty of spaces.

Have heard about this gem for 20 years but never tried it until last night. Wife and I sat at the…read morebar - love the atmosphere: spacious dive bar with low ceilings and wood paneling. There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

Well I'd classify this place as a dive bar in the sense of the word. It's definitely not 4 star…read morenoted and maybe not the best exclusive signage and overall 4 star appeal; but it a diamond in the rough, persa. This place is quaint, nice location (on a corner ) decent seating, not a big outdoor dining area, the bar is long and has the memories of the old day saloon. Now the food; terribly good! Menu isn't extensive but good items and variety that will satisfy anyone's appetite. It was Father's Day but as soon as it opened they were quickly filled with patrons and people kept coming; even waiting to get in. The fries in duck fat were awesome. Since so many baskets of fries like this for a long time. The smoked wings are great, meaty and savory. I had the pork belly tacos; my only disappointment was you only get 2 per order. The fine combination of ingredients were splendid and the pork belly so tender. My wife had the bbq pork sandwich on pretzel bun. Very good tasting and this was with no bbq sauce on it. If you're in the area, do yourself a a favor and stop in. I can't wait to go back ( as we live in southern Indiana) so might be a bit but definitely want to try a few other items.
