Wedge Salad
Elaine D.

In Midway and stopped in with friends for lunch. Two of us shared the grouper fingers. Hot and crisp. And the fried green tomatoes. Didn't particularly like their bouged up version with small bits of shrimp and balsamic. Just give me good ol' fashioned fried green tomatoes. 104

I love Midway and this is a great choice for lunch. My favorites are the Club Sandwich and The Kentucky Hot Brown. The Mornay sauce is delicious and I love that they put ham on the Hot Brown. It is one of my favorite Hot Browns anywhere. The portion size is perfect for me -not too much and not too little. The Blind Squirrel has rare and collectible bourbons for sale and they have a wide selection for drinks.

Hot brown and house salad

Good casual place to eat. Had pork medallions and hubby had hot brown. Both were good. We're looking for restaurant with outdoor seating which it has but nothing great. Ca sit outside on front porch but dirty and seating needs to be upgraded. Waitress was new but OK. Meals came out before salads and took a long time to get drinks. Went early and Not that busy. Festival in town so may have impacted.

Ribs and grouper fingers

The ribs were the absolute best I've ever had. Highly recommended. They were succulent falling off the bone. Super soft and juicy. We couldn't stop raving about them. Grouper fingers were also a hit. Young waitress was very friendly as well.

Hot brown
Dwaine C.

Staff is friendly and helpful. This is a good place for dinner. I started with the fried green tomatoes. Last time they were amazing. But this time they were cut very thick and not cooked very much. My catfish was good with crispy tots . The Mac and cheese was creamy and delicious. The hot brown was good. The midway restaurant is nice inside with a good bourbon collection. I believe it's better than Frankfort.

Potato skins

We hit the Brown Barrel for lunch with some friends. The restaurant has a big outdoor patio and a section of the restaurant with big doors that were open. We sat in the quasi outdoor area because it was beautiful out. There were lots of TVs showing different college football games which was nice. The staff were all very friendly and helpful with suggestions. We tried the Loaded Brown Barrels, potato skins, and the Fried Banana Peppers, all were delicious! I have to say the Brown Barrels were amazing though. Some of the food we had were the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries, the fish and chips, and a build your own burger. Everything was good. The Nashville Hot Chicken had great flavor with just enough heat to not be too spicy. The coleslaw was good but there was only a small amount on the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were good too. My friend that had the fish and chips said the fish was seasoned perfectly and it was lightly battered so it wasn't greasy. The burger was good and just what my friend wanted. The beer was cold and the cocktail drinks were made well. If you are in Midway and are looking for good food, great service and a nice atmosphere, I recommend checking out the Brown Barrel!

Ravioli Chicken
MaryLinda W.

The food was fabulous! The restaurant was crowded and noisy but we had only a short wait for an inside table for two. Outdoor tables were present, but our wait would have been longer. Hubby had been here before and wanted me to have the experience as well. His house salad was generous and tasty, and the ravioli with chicken was delicious. The wedge salad exceeded my expectations given that it starts with flavorless iceberg lettuce! The addition of the dressing, cheese, tomatoes, and bacon enhance the crunch of the lettuce and provide good flavor. The piece of catfish was huge and I took half of it home for a future lunch. That meant I needed to save some of the mashed potatoes, but that wasn't so hard due to the generous salad. We will definitely return for another experience.

Are those lobster tails in the picture? How much?

I didn't see lobster on the menu... could have been a special one day though.

I always tell my wife that most Mexican restaurants taste the same to me. This place is different!…read moreI have been wanting to try this for a while because more than one person has told me that it is the best Mexican around. We were not disappointed!! I had the Midway Burrito and it was delicious. The first thing that you notice is the bacon. I don't think that I have ever had bacon in a Mexican restaurant. The second thing that impressed me was grilled chicken that they put in there. Wow, it is good! Adding the chorizo is just another bonus! The creamy Serrano sauce over the top is perfect! It's spicy but not overpowering or too hot, just hot enough to make your mouth tingle and know that there is a nice kick. We look forward to going back and trying the Fundito next time. On the downside, our server wasn't very attentive and she wasn't busy at all.

6 of us went there last night around 6pm for dinner. As we walked in we noticed a couple open…read moretables outside, and once inside several tables they could accommodate our group open as well. We were told there was a 30-60 minute wait, so we went to the bar for drinks. After 30 minutes we went to check in to see how much longer and were then directed to one of the outdoor tables that had been open the prior 30 minutes when we first got there. After placing our order, two other tables on each side of us with equal numbers were seated. They were served their food in about 20-25 minutes. We asked for the manager and then after another 15-20 minutes it slowly began coming out. The manager said he was going to "make it right," and when the check came only took off 25%. Poor customer service, wait time unnecessary are resolution didn't add up to the inconvenience.
