We didn't have time to spring for desserts and homemade fries really would've made this a 5 star place. The chili dog and chili cheese fries were good. The Stromboli was good but was a bit overcooked on this occasion. We look forward to dining here again to continue trying more of their menu!

I ordered a burger, but the wait is so long that the fam was done eating and well I was full. Tater tots w chili and cheese was good minus the chili ..... people from eastern Ky also call this chili but .... 4 way or not it's not my taste. People were friendly. The decor was diner like, the music was a bit loud and annoying but I'm old lolol so try it. Price was steep $32 for three, fam would have liked to spend the extra and hit up Morehead for a steakhouse on the way back!

Now, I'm not the biggest fan of grits, in fact, I've never had grits I have enjoyed, until now. The texture and taste were perfect, and my kids even ate them up! The waffles were the right balance of crispy and soft, and the syrup, and sauces were fresh and favorable. I have 4 kids, and the service was very kid friendly, they were very thoughtful and foresaw needs before we even asked. This is our first time here, and it won't be our last. The location is quaint, the music is calm and soothing, and on this rainy day it was perfect. So, support your local establishments and come on in! Looking forward to trying the Brick Oven Pizza!

We absolutely love our small town. And order to go from here a lot…read more We wanted our granddaughters to experience our hometown and it was her birthday so we chose to go here. I called for 3 hrs to make sure we could Get in because it is gave a Busy signal the whole time. So we took the chance and went down. Nobody was in there. We did choose to stay. But was so disappointed with the service. They had us put the tables together. Which is okay. Did not ask if we needed anything else to drink. And barely acknowledge that we were even there. Other people came in and they went to the table and talked to them again while walking right past us. We were very nice and polite and we didn't even make a fuss about anything that was going on, but I do not think that we'll go back on the inside to eat again. I don't know if we even order there for a while. My babies felt very uncomfortable. Service means everything .: SO DISAPPOINTED. FOOD was okay.

When the steaks was brought out the second time by the manager (Chuck), he looked at the steak and tried to convince me that it was cooked medium well and proceeded to tell me that if he threw it back on the grill, it would be even more done(really, is that how it works?). No solution given. I had been told this was a fantastic restaurant, but I'm very disappointed. Do better, Chuck!

Unfortunately, this chain has passed its prime! I waitressed at one of their restaurants years ago…read moreand it was delicious and a great place to hang out for happy hour or any hour. The best items on the menu have been removed and they change the menu too often. This particular restaurant started out strong because previously alcohol could not be served. I think alcohol is the only thing saving this restaurant. The service is slow and it takes FOREVER to get your food. Do not order any unlimited item unless you planning on being there for the day. That being said, my mom ordered spinach dip. We went ahead and ordered soup and salad. The spinach dip was good and hot. The chips were crisp but a bit greasy . Our food FINALLY arrived. The cheese on the French onion soup was melty, but not golden or browned. The salad had decent flavor, but the chicken obviously came with grill marks. My mother's experience was the same. We didn't order a refill. Patricia (Patti) was our waitress. She has been here forever and is a local gem !! All the locals want her to serve them as she is very efficient! This restaurant is not my favorite, but they have French onion soup so my family will drag me back!

When I arrived on JULY 15, the manager told me that the deadline had passed, and that the last day for that promotion was on JULY 12. I explained to that manager that I came all the way from another part of Kentucky, a three hours' driving commute for nothing. Their management has therefore proven to be unprofessional, irresponsible, and unreliable. The manager did not care.

Where to start.

While the night manager, Josh, was very understanding of our problem, he still refused to comp our 30 minutes of waiting on two malfunctioning lanes, and instead gave us five dollars as a "refund" which was for the "five frames" we played in the span of an hour moving between two broken lanes. Disappointing experience and worse customer service. Bowling is dying and Sterling Lanes clearly doesn't want to keep it. As a business owner, I understand equipment isn't always going to behave, but more than that I understand you can't treat paying customers this way. I would highly recommend anyone looking to bowl here go elsewhere until these issues are taken care of. I know I, and everyone I know will.

Our lane constantly broke down so we left. The staff were not very sympathetic either.read more

So we hit the restroom first and I have a son with special needs who needs my help in the restroom so we went in to the handicapped stall and had to head right back out because it was way too reminiscent of the Ryan's Steak House trope. Anyway enough bathroom talk. We were seated right away and it wasn't too busy but still took a little time to get our food.
