    Amazing place for fresh oven baled pizza! So delicious and flavorful! Hawaiian is our favorite. Staff and the owner are so nice and welcoming! When you are in Frankfort, make sure to stop by!

    The pizza de jour of downtown Frankfort wasn't anything amazing, but it was satisfying. The place is named for a dog whose pictures grace the walls, and the thick crust is likely one that would be happily devoured as table scraps by an onlooking canine. The cheese was greasy, but filling, and the sauce thin but a good contrast to its sharpness. A lunch special was offered with a small salad which was crisp, and a fountain drink which included the option for unsweetened tea. It was as crowded as anything in this rather small town, and I could see why as it was exactly the quick and filling lunch I was looking for.

    Buddy's is a great spot for pizza, sandwiches, wings and beer. They have good selection of Beer and not just typical domestics. The pizza is good, crust on bottom is thin crispy. The wings were good, plenty of sauce. Also the prices are good, not over priced.

    Pepperoni & Bacon Pizza

    Looking for an easy weeknight dinner while in downtown Frankfort and so glad to have found this treasure. Nice variety and selection of beers on tap and the independently owned & operated vibe that makes the place feel welcoming and inviting. Staff was so sweet and delivered everything to our table, periodically checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. What they delivered was a perfectly cooked thin crust pizza that made for a great meal. Sauce is rich and flavorful, crust has a great taste and texture. Their 16-inch pizza is plenty to feed 3-4 people. Would definitely come again.

    Please go. Immediately. I loved the lady behind the counter and the food & beer were pretty good too! Plus, the walls are full of dog pictures! Woof woof!

    Great pizza after a day of bourbon trailing and a night of beer from Sig Luscher. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in Frankfort.

    Absolutely amazing little place. They have pizza and appetizers, alongside a local market where you…read morecan shop local farmers and creators goods. We were in town for the bourbon trail, but I tend to rely on Yelp and Google reviews to help me find places to eat. Y'all did not let me down! The pizza was absolutely amazing, with fresh toppings, and just the perfect crust. Then on the bottom, with a little poof crust at the edges. I was greeted by Kayla, who is very friendly and easily recognized I had never been in before, lol! She walked me through how to order, and was just very kind. We tried the carnivore, because who doesn't love an all meat pizza? There's plenty of picnic tables for seating, and there's also a really pretty outdoor area where they have flowers and more tables. I will 100% return when back in the area in the fall, and I highly recommend you stop in and give them a try. We saw some people getting wings as we were finishing up, and those looked amazing too!

    Came in here after a distillery tour & I had an unforgettable meal at this farm‑to‑table pizza…read morespot. Every ingredient tasted unbelievably fresh! You could literally see and taste the bright tomato in the sauce, and the crust had that perfect char that only comes from real care. I ordered the gluten‑free crust and was blown away by how good it was; crisp, flavorful, and easily one of the best I've had anywhere. The whole market felt warm and welcoming. Everyone working there was knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely excited to share information about the ingredients and process. I also tried a kale salad so fresh and crunchy it could have passed for romaine, and a kombucha that tied the whole meal together. I'll be thinking about this place long after I'm back home in California. Overall a very well constructed and cozy establishment.

    Our first visit here started off great. We were warmly greeted and we sat in the main dining room…read more The place has a really great casual vibe and a comfortable feel to it. Our coffees took a bit to show up but all were pleased with what they got. Food came out relatively quickly and Zoey got a scone which she loved, nicely warmed and delish. Teresa got the Brie, lettuce and tomato sandwich and she loved that too. I was less fortunate as my breakfast bowl arrived cold. The potatoes were tasty and the whole bowl presented well, but it was stone cold. When I mentioned this to folks at the desk they said 'thank you.' I took a Star. We ordered some of their bread pudding and a slice of carrot cake to go. The bourbon bread pudding was fabulous and the carrot cake was very good, but clearly had been left out as it was dry, not the moist goodness you'd expect. All said a mediocre first experience so we'll likely give them another try at some point.

    I recommend Sage. My wife and I discovered it by accident as we were leaving a Monarch butterfly…read morerelease at the butterfly garden at the adjoining Wilson Nurseries. We sat outside surrounded by an almost garden atmosphere enjoying impressive cafe food served by an incredibly attentive staff. It made for a great fall Sunday afternoon. The menu features well-made sandwiches, salads, soups, the best veggie burger I've had in a while, and imaginative sides. I was surprised that café had a sophisticated drink menu. We didn't try it, but I'm noting it here so that others who think it is just a little café attached to a nursery will know that wine and mixed drinks are available. I often drive to the Gorge and have been back-and-forth to the University of Kentucky twice within the last month. This is going to become a place I will work into my itinerary.
