Now someone said they have a good cheese burger, but we tried the 1/4 rib basket & smoked Turkey..baked beans & slaw. The beans need help. They were sweet like syrup but they need a new recipe. The slaw was ok but needed something, kinda sweet but again not much flavor. The smoked Turkey & ribs were just average. Would not get any of those things again. The toast was just white toast, toasted instead of Texas toast. No butter. It was a no for us, but I heard they have good brisket? We sat outside. It was nice they have picnic tables & an area for bands to play. Cute mom & pop with friendly charm.

Very good food and quick and fair price! One of the best burgers you can get in town!read more

This place instantly reminded me of an old diner from my childhood. It used to be a gas station and…read morehas been converted into a small restaurant. It's a fairly small restaurant but they have booths and tables available. Smells like fries food inside and it's not fancy at all. They didn't do much to convert it from the gas station and many of what looks like old features of the gas station are still in the main area. Just about everything they offer is deep fried. We are on vacation and just picked a local place not knowing anything about it. We were a little surprised when we pulled up because it doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside. The staff was very kind and did a great job serving us. The food was good for what it was but I think it is a little overpriced. The double cheeseburger in the picture was $5.60 and the onion rings were $1.90. My Diet Coke was an additional $1.19. For almost $9, I would expect more than deep fried food and there weren't many onion rings for $2. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but it is t really anything to rave about. There isn't much else around here so I'm sure this is a local favorite. If I lived here- I might come again but being in vacation, I would try other things before coming here again.

After competing in a track and field meet at Murray State, I went to Yelp to try to find the most…read moretasty, diverse, authentic, and satisfying food spot in town. The Willow Bistro immediately caught my eye, so I didn't think twice. The menu had American, Thai, Ethiopian, Mexican, and Mediterranean inspired dishes. There's something for everyone, and you truly can get a taste of the world here. I love an extensive and global menu. But beyond that, I love amazing food. The food at The Willow Bistro is amazing. Everything is made from scratch in the kitchen, which should come as no surprise once you dig in. Everything we had was homey, flavorful, and clearly made with love and intention. Pro tip: do not skip the fruit curry. What a smooth, unique, and flavorsome blend of sweet and savory. I loved everything that was on our table, but this dish was the most memorable. The service? Also phenomenal. Our server was so kind, patient, hospitable, knowledgeable, and empathetic. She was a gem. The setup is also charming, clean, cozy, and welcoming. Everything about The Willow Bistro deserves 5/5 stars. If I'm ever passing through Murray again, The Willow Bistro will be my first stop.

This my friends, is a classic "hidden gem"…read more You probably wouldn't know it's a restaurant from driving by, that is, if you even were to randomly drive by this place, it's literally kind of hidden. No, the outside isn't much to look at, but it's what's on the inside that counts anyways. Great service, great prices, and even better food. I can't say enough good things about Lenny's. My family and I have visited Lenny's twice and have sampled most of the menu in those two trips. Everything is fantastic. Everything is made from scratch and is a plentiful portion. You will NOT leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. I will drop all the photos of food with their names on this review. My photos won't do it justice, but at least I've tried. We ordered the fried mushrooms to start. They were excellent. Sometimes fries mushrooms are slimy on the inside and you instantly regret your decision, but these were piping hot and FRESH. My dad got a ribeye that was huge and looked delicious. Mom got a BBQ sandwich topped with homemade slaw. And my brother ordered the fish tacos, that'll be what I try next time. My favorite so far is their specialty chicken (grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, covered in mozzarella) and their bbq nachos (HUGE portion, I will share a picture)! Wow. So good. So go see for yourself and give Lenny's a try. It'll be your new go to family night too!

We each ordered a pork barbecue sandwich, and we all agreed that they were tasty. The meat was tender and delicious. There are two kinds of barbecue sauce at the table. One of them is supposed to be hot, but even I (who can usually only eat mild salsa) slathered my barbecue in hot sauce and devoured it without breaking a sweat. The ambiance is pleasant enough- there's an HDTV that was tuned to ESPN - and the service was prompt. We were the only people sitting inside, but several people picked up carryout orders while we were there. If you're looking for a good pork barbecue sandwich, give this place a shot. My grandparents are from the area, and they told me this place's prices are in line with other local barbecue joints.

Seen some fellas sitting on a bench outside and asked where the best catfish restaurant is at. They said right here! It's a small diner type place with good sitting available in another room. We got a table for 8 and a child. We were promptly seated and waited on; we all were here yet but ordered drinks. No alcohol here but that's okay! Others arrived and we started off placing orders. After we ordered we had to opportunity to visit and discuss our day activities. Now from the time we checked in there was this trickle new customers coming in at a nice steady rate. This became a bit of a problem; we did have to wait awhile for our food to come out; so refills were being done! They did keep apologizing and finally said your food is being prepared. Finally our food came out and looked delicious. The appearance was good but it was second to the taste and decent size portions. Several of us just wanted catfish; boy this place did not disappoint. Our waitress Reese was awesome and did a nice job on taking care of us; The only hiccup was my wife didn't get her baked potato; which probably was more than she'd be able to eat but they addressed a credit for that item. Catfish was outstanding, great breading and taste. If ever in the area definitely will stop back in. There were food choices for everyone, vegan items and regular. If we were in area, probably would have come back for a breakfast This is definitely a diamond in the rough! Stop in if you're in the area. Length of wait for food was a ding, but the food and service override that so 5 it is!
