Thick fresh cut fries with amazing homemade ranch dressing. I had the burger and it's the best burger in Madison County hands down. The brioche bun is buttery soft but the meat itself was flavorful and fresh and that's what makes this the best burger in the county! My wife had the airline chicken breast with succotash and mashed sweet potatoes. This was very good but the kitchen was heavy handed with the gastric and that downtown the dish off a bit. The mash and succotash and chicken were all great and flavorful. Next time I'd ask for a gastric drizzle! Service was fantastic and Honeysuckle has made it onto our restaurant rotation list. Well done Honeysuckle crew!!!

This is such a heartbreaker. We frequented this restaurant so often when they first opened and it…read morewas a rising star. Sadly, our last 3 visits have gone from bad to worse. We will never waste our money here again. Service was awful, appetizer burned, both duck and steak were overcooked. My meal was supposed to come with asparagus that was no where to found. When I inquired about the side, I was told that the asparagus was ground up in the half dollar size polenta cake. SERIOUSLY?? Duck portion was less than 4 ounces (mostly fat). . $45 for a tiny filet. These folks are trying to play at being a real restaurant when all they're really doing is robbing people blind with sub par food and service. One person covering 5 (yes, 5 WHOLE tables). Even on an incredibly slow night service was awful. I don't know about anybody else out there, but I don't have $200 to throw away on BS restaurants. Especially disappointing on your anniversary. Let we not forget the wines, no brands listed, that tasted like watered down crap. The only reason their Facebook says 100% recommended is because they delete any reviews that say otherwise, Trust me and skip this one. Go to Carsons, Corto Limo or Guiseppes for amazing food and service. Guess I should have ordered the hamburger. Live and learn.

I was so impressed by Wrigley Taproom and Eatery. The menu is small and not printed, instead…read moredisplayed on several blackboards adorning the walls, attractively written with colored chalks. As a "farm-to-table" type of place, many of the items included the name of the farm where the ingredients came from. As it was fairly busy I sat at the bar so as not to tie up a 4-seat table. Soon after sitting a pleasant smoky aroma filled the room and I saw the bartender fiddling with a kitchen torch. Making a Smoked Old Fashioned. So that's what I got. What bourbon, he asked. I wasn't sure so he walked me over to the side of the bar and there were so many! I decided on one arbitrarily, a local craft brand, and he approved. Only a $3 upcharge from the standard one. It was very good, though not as smoky as I expected. The cherry was premium, not the standard bar maraschino. I do like an Old Fashioned, but I sort of wished I noticed the list of specialty cocktails first, which were really unusual and intriguing. Such as the "Garden Gnome": Vodka, yuzu, olive juice, basil, St. Germaine, and gin. For beer lovers, a very large diverse selection, from Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, and Mexico. Most of the entrees are a la carte. Order sides separately if you want them. I decided on tacos, with sides of fries and roasted brussels sprouts. This works here even for a single diner because the sides are small and inexpensive ($4 and $5), though a larger size is also offered. The entrees also were reasonable, most $15. Even the Wagyu Steak was just $29, complete with sides. I've seen prices from $40 to $60 elsewhere. The tacos were Birria, which is a Mexican style of slow cooking meat - short rib in this case - seasoned with adobo. They included mozzarella cheese, cilantro, and pickled onions and cabbage. The flour tortillas were deep-fried and more substantial than usual. Two sauces were offered in tiny bowls. One was thin and was probably the braising liquid from the meat and the other white and speckled with green herbs, sort of like a raita. Very good. The fries, crispy, hand cut, crispy, and seasoned, were also very good. And the roasted brussels sprouts were amazing. The best ever - though I seem to say that often. Sauced relatively heavily in sweet maple glaze, tender, and not at all bitter. I was surprised that there were no seafood items on the menu other than the Smoked Salmon BLT taco. And vegetarians might have a problem here. Not much to choose from other than the Big Ass Pretzel or a green salad. For dessert I had Bourbon Butter Cake, with peaches, Amaro (a peach liqueur), bourbon, and ice cream. Good but it could have used more bourbon and liqueur. And it was warmed and served in a small cast-iron skillet so the ice cream was too melted for my liking. That's my fault. I usually ask for these types of dessert not to be warmed. The great meal was matched by the decor and ambience. Pretty brick walls, decorative chandeliers, and a huge welcoming rainbow flag. Maybe that keeps the MAGAs away. That's fine. They can eat at Chick-fil-A. (Joking. Everybody is welcome here.)

5/5 Stars -- Easily one of the absolute best dining experiences in Kentucky…read more We stumbled upon this gem on Main Street in Corbin, KY today, and it completely blew us away. Located in a beautifully restored 1913 Greyhound bus station, it brings a masterclass in farm-to-table dining with original brick-and-mortar charm. It's authentic, eclectic, and classy without an ounce of pretension--you'll feel just as comfortable rolling in fresh off a lake day as you would celebrating a special occasion. What we ordered (and you need to try): Wagyu Sirloin ($29): We need to talk about this. Served with asparagus and a twice-baked potato for $29, this is easily the single best value dish within a 100-mile radius. Unbelievable quality. Salmon BLT Tacos: Pure perfection, especially after a day on the water. Burrata Cheese & Peach Salad: Absolute fire. Fresh and perfectly balanced. Birria Tacos: Exceptionally rich flavor and executed flawlessly. Blueberry Tiramisu & Limoncello: A shocker of a dessert pairing to end the night--completely knocked it out of the park. The Bar: Drinks are poured with a heavy hand and crafted strong. The open-kitchen concept lets you see the passion this team puts into their craft. Huge thanks to Draven for the warm welcome at the door, and to Laura in the kitchen who pointed us directly toward the must-try dishes and nailed every recommendation. Don't let the reasonable prices fool you--this isn't just "good for Corbin." This is foodie-certified, top-tier dining anywhere in the country. A new absolute favorite. Thank you to the whole team for doing what you do!

The decor is minimalist but nice and the seating is comfortable. Service was a little slow, but pleasant. But the food itself was unexpectedly good! Their French Dip burger was excellent. It's rare to find French Dip sandwiches using traditional roast beef these days, as roast beef has been replaced by barbequed beef or pulled pork. Here they applied the French Dip concept to a well-prepared beef burger. The au jus was excellent and when the burger was dipped into it -- it was soooo good. As a side, the fire-roasted corn was out of this world, too. Whatever spices they put on the roasted corn really take it to the next level. Also amazing was their Cajun pasta with broccoli and chicken (added on). The sauce was stated as being alfredo with Cajun spices, but it tasted to me almost like a combination of pesto and alfredo. I've had Cajun style pasta sauce in many restaurants and it usually has what you'd expect in terms of Cajun seasoning. Here I'm not even sure I'd describe it as Cajun really, but whatever seasoning they put in the sauce, they should patent it. The chicken was well-grilled, tender and tasty and the broccoli pieces were also wonderful. On top were two pieces of perfectly baked Italian style bread that I used to soak up every bit of that incredible pasta sauce. Even though this place it basically 3 hours from where I live, if I'm ever anywhere near here again, I'd go back in a heartbeat!

These are cut into rings , then battered and deep fried and served with ranch dressing. Probably some of the best banana pepper rings I have had in a very long time! Looking around I saw others who had ordered the burger (which looked really good) and another person had a very fresh looking salad. Others had the fish dinner,and we both decided on the fish sandwich for our lunch. You can choose from either battered or breaded whitefish. So, we ordered one of each! The sandwich came with crinkle cut french fries. There were other options that could be substituted for the fries. Also came with 2 hush puppies. The sandwiches were huge! Probably 12" long with a generous piece of fish on a fresh bun. Came with lettuce, onion, pickle, and a ripe slices of red tomato. The fish was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The breaded fish may have been a little heavy on black pepper, but not overbearing. If I was super picky, the bun would have been better if it were slightly toasted on the grill, but that's just a personal preference. One thing it was missing was tartar sauce (and you know me--some hot sauce). But overall, this was a very delicious sandwich and others said the same thing we did when they sat the sandwiches on our table. In unison, we all said, "Oh Wow!" It was a good thing that I was very hungry, because I was somehow able to eat it all, but next time, we will order one sandwich, cut it in half, and order an extra side of extra crispy french fries. Next door is The Hippie Hut where (if you have room) can stop by and get a delicious shaved ice or hand dipped ice cream. I fully recommend Backstreet Grub and we will be back real soon!

My husband and I ordered the fried cheese sticks to start and we were shocked when she set the basket down. Such a huge portion, which we didn't complain lol hot and super cheese pull! Really yummy! After we scarfed those down we each ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Can I just say... one of the best burgers I've had in a long while!! The bacon crumbles were super smokey and the burger... omgosh so big and juicy! Perfect medium rare cook! Bun held up nicely for such a big burger patty. Loved seeing the crinkle fries! You don't see those often and they're our fave! Cooked golden brown but not overcooked. The only complaint is my husband wasn't a fan of the sweet tea but it didn't ruin the meal by any means. Everything was great and we're glad we walked through those doors. Would definitely stop back in if we ever find ourselves visiting Pikeville for a concert again.
