Seating inside for eating is very limited so I'd plan on eating outside or take your food back home, hotel or Airbnb. We ordered the three meat sampler. Brisket(sliced like lunch meat no less? Never seen that at a bbq joint), pulled pork and some ribs. Since it seems the slice the brisket it was way too dry and chewy, not much flavor rather. The ribs were a bit burnt but the meat that I scavenged off of the rib was flavorful. Sides were our usual; cheesy potatoes and bbq beans. They were both okay but I'll try something else if we go back). The pulled pork was the star of this meal. It was incredibly flavorful and juicy. Would I go back? Probably not for the brisket or ribs but for sure for the pulled pork. I do love supporting local families so that felt good.

We ordered appetizers which were actually very good! The hot artichoke dip--fantastic! And I have had many over the years. We ordered the bruschetta. I never thought someone could improve upon such a normally simple dish, but they did! It was simply delightful! The bread slightly sweet and lightly garlicky, ripe firm tomatoes and a drizzle of syrupy, balsamic vinegar. I should have made that my meal! Now our entrees were unimpressive and our prelude really had us psyched for something amazing. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli. Not sure how "wild" cremini mushrooms were but I took two bites and I was done. I forgot what my husband had, but he did the same--two bites and done! We are willing to give it another go, simply because we were teased by the appetizers. Come on Rickhouse! Get yer sh-t together!

The shepherds pie was just okay. Green fried tomatoes were fine, but missing the mark on the sauce. We ordered a special, souvlaki chicken.

Totally missing the seasoned and bright-herbaceous mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Just go to the bar. Find some other place for dinner.

Most of the process is a secret. You can sip at the end. Our fav part of the tour was Master Distiller Booker Noe and his dog. It seems you need to pet his head . The best of Jim Bean and all their juice that they still are bestowing upon us can be found and sipped here .

The town has changed much since I was last here, lots of growth and options. I used to stay at the Hampton Inn when it was still here (now a "Spark" by Hilton. I'm at the Holiday Inn Express and they recommended having lunch here since there's a 10% discount for hotel guests. I've eaten here before but new ownership and food offerings have been updated- including an Indian menu! Lala greeted me when I arrived, I'm the only in person diner but I chose a bacon cheeseburger with no onion, and Swiss cheese. I chose the side of tater tots. I asked to see the menu for the Indian offerings and it looks like they have a smaller offering; but something for everyone. I'm mowing down my food as I write this review. The tater tots are superbly seasoned and cooked. Crispy and stayed that way the entire time I was eating. I lived in Chicago for 20 years, and Red Gold ketchup and salsa were some of my favorites. The burger was cooked perfectly, the bacon crispy, Swiss cheese melted nicely and the bun toasted along with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (no onion since I'm going right to work ) for that perfect lunch. I hope that people keep supporting this business. I'm sure the pizza is still great but next time I may come back and try some of the Indian offerings for a different path when I'm back in town. Support Lala, Kajal, and this small owned business!
