    Bourbon chicken - A foam takeout container contains bourbon chicken, featuring cooked chicken pieces and mushrooms served over rice. A white plastic fork is placed inside the container, and some rice is visible beneath the chicken. The food appears to be a portion of a meal from a casual eatery, with the focus on the chicken and rice dish.

    I'm going to be honest. The outside nor the inside has a lot going for it but the food is delicious!! If my coworkers didn't highly recommend it I would have kept driving past it. This place has a small menu but they do everything right! I highly recommend the bourbon chicken over rice, Philly cheese and the burger. And you get a lot of food. Just letting you know. Since it's a small little place the service is pretty quick. The only reason I didn't do 5/5 (which I wish I could do a 4 1/2.) is because of you get the bourbon chicken the sauces spills out in the bag. Like a lot of it.. so you have to be really careful not to make a mess of you or your vehicle. I was pre-warned by my coworkers so I knew. But other than that a nice little "hole in the wall" place to check out!

    First visit to Georgetown Cafe today, and it couldn't have been a better experience. I when I announced that I had never been in before and asked what their specialties were, I was given multiple samples to try. I tasted both Cajun chicken and bourbon chicken and liked both, and they suggested I get half and half. In both cases the chicken (chopped up thigh pieces, from what I could tell) was moist and very flavorful. It was served over a (probably too) large portion of spicy rice and steamed vegetables. The vegetables, which was primarily cabbage, we're good but could have benefited from a little salt. That said, the cabbage was tender and juicy. If this entree is any indication of the quality of the rest of the menu, I might find myself here for a quick takeout lunch regularly.

It's a small restaurant packing a lot of power! I've been recommending them to all my friends and family. GO TRY IT!! Promise you will not be disappointed........

    This place is awesome. Nice guys at the counter and the good smells so good. They have banana pudding and cheesecake too.

    Buffalo chicken, with Cajun potatoes and green beans. The guy was very nice giving me samples to try out. Great good and great hospitality.

I believe that they are now on their third location and they have great comfort food with tons of flavor! I am a gumbo fanatic, but I don't go here for their gumbo. I like many of their dishes and some of my favorites are the Pazole Stew and the Drunken Chicken and Maque Choux. They used to have a peanut sauce that was to die for. They also have amazing specials like Lobster Etoufee and Hog Wild Red Chili. If you are in the mood for something different, you won't find recipes like these anywhere else in Kentucky.

We ordered the Maque Choux and the Hog Wild Red Chili this recent visit and did a half-and-half combo with extra garlic bread (highly recommend for soaking up every last bite). We chose rice as our base, but they also offer grits, pasta, or jambalaya. Make sure you ask to sample a few options before committing to your option Everything was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made with care. The staff is incredibly friendly and very patient especially with me asking a million questions about their various spice levels in their dishes. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding, which was good, but the peanut butter pie was absolutely amazing, it didn't even make it home before it was gone. They do have beer options here as well. The ambiance inside is very casual and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. We will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

I recommend upgrading and getting your dishes over the jambalaya. It was delicious. The corn pudding was very unique and had a spicy kick. My husband ordered the red beans with smoked sausage and the gumbo. He also said that was delicious. When you go in you order at the counter and then there are a lot of sauces to choose from to put over your dish if you like. I recommend the garlic hot sauce. The dining area is spacious and decorated with unique art. I'm excited to try the bbq sandwiches and the chili dogs in the future.

I really enjoyed the red beans and smoked sausage with plenty of seasoning and a nice even spice. I liked the jambalaya too, great rice, but I got one small shred of chicken in the whole serving. That being said, it was a late DoorDash order, so I doubt this is the norm. My colleagues had the jambalaya and chicken étouffée (brown pepper gravy and shredded chicken), and both enjoyed their selections. They also have black beans and sausage, white chili with chicken, etouffée with crawfish, as well as gumbo with chicken, sausage, and chicken. They have several other offerings that include shrimp and chicken, including the least spicy chicken sauce piquant (tomato sauce, chicken, onions, peppers, celery). And randomly they offer chili dogs ha!

Once you have had a Tony's crab cake, nothing else comes close. Their sides are incredible. We have to get the potato wedges every time we go.

You can't go wrong with their salads either I love the Caesar and the Greek. I always like to try some of the other dishes as well.

I would highly recommend the truffle wedges perfect amount of salty and truffle (the truffle is not too overbearing). The service is really good. Our server gave us the specials and a good explanation of all the food. He was friendly and not too distracting. I will say it was dark in there, but it helped to create the ambience. Definitely recommend a reservation. There are lots of people waiting.

    I've been to Palmer's Fresh Grill many times before, but this visit didn't quite measure up…read more I ordered the ribeye steak medium rare, and while the flavor was fine, both the steak and sides (mashed potatoes and asparagus) were served on the cool side, which was disappointing. The calamari appetizer ended up being the highlight of the meal--crispy, well-seasoned, and enjoyable. I liked the peanut sauce. Service was adequate (barely) but nothing memorable, and the atmosphere was tough to enjoy. It happened to be children's night, and the noise level was off the charts. Between the underwhelming service and the loud environment, it just didn't feel like the same Palmer's I've come to expect. Hopefully next time will be closer to the standard I've experienced in the past.

It was so busy that the manager was helping out to make sure people got out on time for the comedy show next door. Always nice to see a manger who cares about customers to the point he's willing to jump in and help. Their bread with dipping oil is fantastic and it's very difficult to refrain from eating a ton of bread. I ordered the ahi tuna but swapped out the wasabi mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts for their risotto rice which was delicious. A friend ordered the ahi tuna without swapping and liked my sides better. The tuna itself tastes fresh and had a perfect med rare cook on it.
