It had a roasted marshmallow top and probably the beat Banana pudding I've had! For drinks, we got the Filly Lilly, A specialty Mint Julio with Thyme in it, and the winner was the Strawberry Rhubarb Buck. Wow! Not only was the food delicious, but the service was great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We sat inside because it was a dreary first half of the day before the sun came out for the Derby! But, there were a lot of nice outdoor areas to sit and enjoy your food or beverages. You will find something you love at the Kitchen Table. I highly recommend!

Honey glazed fried chicken was the star of the show. Perfectly crispy exterior with juicy meat on the inside. The best bite of the day for sure.

We sat at the bar next to a few other folks, the bartender asked us if we knew what we would like. I asked for a menu, she said she didn't have them out right now and would come back to take our order. The bartender returned and my partner explained that we weren't sure what we wanted to order, that it was our first time in and asked if there was a menu we could view. The bartender responded with, ''no menus, it's easier that way''. I was taken back by not only the comment, but the tone of her voice (clearly not happy with our request). I turned to my boyfriend and said, let's go somewhere else! The speakeasy wasn't crowded, but, was part of the Elizabethtown St. Patrick's Day bar crawl. I don't believe that should have any effect on the regular menu or quality of service. We were disappointed with our experience (lack of) especially on such a special day. We skipped down the road to Bourbon Barrel Tavern and received excellent service and tasty cocktails.

This is a review of my six total visits since Neat opened earlier this year I was so excited when they were building this place and the vibe of the building does not disappoint. This place is gorgeous, and is really designed to allow you to sit back and relax with friends in a well designed space. So why only two stars. Let's get into it. First off almost all of the cocktails are batched. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it can add to the speed and consistency without detracting from the quality. However, that is not the case at Neat. We used two of their cocktails to test the consistency and ordered both on all six of our visits. The first was their bourbon espresso martini. This drink was the most inconsistent of everything we tried. Sometimes it was thin, sometimes it was too sweet, and each time it was unbalanced. The other cocktail was the Manhattan. I get what they're trying to do with this cherry forward Manhattan, but it really misses the mark and comes across as acidic and sour. I would compare it to a bad dive bar. Manhattan Oddly, the only drink we have gotten there which has been consistent each time is the Paper Plane which we have ordered four times. This is odd because I believe it is the only cocktail that is not batched. The vibe of the bartenders also have added a negative to our experience each time we visited. Again, I get the vibe they are shooting for where the bartenders are more behind the scenes and not intrusive. However, they really miss the mark on this. The bartenders are really detached, non-interactive and leave you alone, which is fine. What's not cool is on each of our visits we observed bartenders playing on their phones while customers are waiting for attention. On our last visit the bartender was eating her dinner behind the bar out of a plastic cup with her fingers. It wasn't a good look. I really think they need a bartender who is a little more attentive and who will occasionally check in on guests sitting at the tables. Requiring patrons to go up to the bar to order every time is bad practice and poor bar management. I am not going totally write this place off and will go back in 2026 hoping they make the necessary improvements. Again, I desperately want to like this place and with a few easy, consistent adjustments this could be one of the best bars in the state.
