The menu pricing was higher than the online takeout pricing and they tried to sneak in a 3% surcharge for using a credit card. It was not disclosed to me upfront so I just took the 3% out of the tip I left. I definitely won't be back.

We ordered the thick thighs and tenders. I tried the medium sauce, Ella's fav, and if you like spicy, I would definitely recommend kicking it up to the next level. Generous portions of fries. The mac and cheese was okay. It was not the greatest I have ever had, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been served hot. The banana pudding, however, was better. Overall, it is a nice place to grab a bite when you want something different from your traditional fast food options. I also like that they offer vegan chicken, which is a nice option for those looking for an alternative. Definitely worth giving it a try if you are in the mood for some hot chicken.

While traveling in northern Kentucky, he stumbled upon one of these places, The Farmstand Market & Cafe. Farmstand offers comfort food with a farm-to-table focus served in a cozy space with a bar and attached market. We started with the Goetta Hanky Panky Dip. This was made with cheesy goetta, bagel chips, pumpernickel bread, and light rye served in a cast iron skillet. The dip had a good sausage flavor with salt and some light spice while being cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor. The bagel chips were very crispy but were not served warm. The pumpernickel and rye were dry. Each complimented the dip, adding texture to the bite. My wife had the Reuben Sandwich. This sandwich came with sliced corned beef, homemade Thousand Island, pickled pig sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on light rye with bacon ranch pasta salad. The pasta salad was cooked spot on while also being creamy. The bacon added crunch and saltiness to the salad. The rye had a great toast, and the Thousand Island was tangy and creamy. The pastrami was dry but had a good salty flavor. The sauerkraut was crunchy and had a good sour flavor cutting through the salty meat and the sweet dressing. The cheese was gooey and nutty and added flavor to each bite. I sampled the French dip sandwich and Mulligatawny soup. This was prepared with a sliced top round with provolone on a French roll. The soup was prepared with rice, chicken, carrots, onions, celery, lentils and spices. The chicken was very tender, the rice was cooked well, and the vegetables added texture to the rice. The soup was flavorful, had a wonderful aroma, and had a good salt content. The top round was thin and offered good flavor and chew. The roll was fresh and had a good chew paired with the ooey and gooey cheese with an excellent buttery flavor. The au jus had good flavor but was slightly salty, which overpowered it. Farmstand offers grilled cheeses, hot sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers, soups and main entrees. They also serve beer and have a full bar. The servers were pleasant and knowledgeable. The Fat Man says that The Farmstand Market & Cafe is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.

Total dinner disappointment ! Manager was rude toned to my husband. He had to go back inside for our biscuits they FORGOT. Chicken was small and dry. Thought a breast was a thigh it was so small. Mashed potatoes were dry, gravy had "flour" lumps in it. Biscuits weren't bad. 99.9% of this meal sucked. I will never go back nor will I recommend this Lee's to anyone. Not the first time this has happened by the way but I'm making it the last time ! Every one has different experiences but I wouldn't recommend this place for fresh food unless you go when the doors first open. They do have good sweet tea. The rest, PHhttttt ! read more

The portions were smaller and not a good value for the money. Chicken tenders were dry and the potato wedges were smaller. The service was okay but not sure if I want to go back as they were very slow. Drive through was a disaster and inside was only slightly better. The place could use a remodel and the atmosphere was stale. read more

The supplies for customers is well stocked and clean. My kid loves this place and we've been 3 times in 2 days. One thing about the Raisin Canes APP is it's a complete dinosaur. The location will be required to physically give you an actual physical , plastic rewards card by request only, and tell you to take it home and register it. The registration process is a dinosaur. If you don't choose a prefix for your name, e.g. "Mr, Ms, Miss..." it will not let you register. Talk about the 1980's. You can't see your password in the registration process to be sure they match. You'll never get this time back. And the Rewards, "card number" they require and the registration code on the back of this physical card is so tiny you'd better have a magnifying glass, don't be a grandparent, and have lots of patience. After 45 minutes I'm done trying to register this card. Too bad they don't join the modern world and just people sign up on the app without a physical member rewards card in our to earn rewards. In spite of this major letdown of the corporate office/ this restaurant and staff is fantastic and deserves full stars for excellence in every way. The "Raisin Canes", chicken was fresh and hot every time. Light, crisp batter. The fries were perfect, hot, fresh and crisp. And my kids love the Texas toast. And again this staff if absolutely top-notch! Good front end people who deserve to be there. Today we went back for lunch and a pleasant associate brought our food directly to our table. The presentation is beautifully arranged and clean baskets and paper. All new service-ware, everything looks and feels nice . I recommend this place! We'll be going several times per week. My kids are insisting on it. I'll have to wait for them to get modern and maybe get the app right (customers should NOT need a physical card) to register within a few years when they join the 2020's. But you should go to this location. They do Customer Service and chicken "right!" The line for drive thru is around the building and down the street for a reason.

Yesterday, we were craving some Cane's, so we found this location on the way home from being away for a short weekend and this place was packed! Couldn't get in the drive as the line for the drive thru was wrapped around the building. Once we did manage to park, we quickly made our way inside only to find it packed as well. But the workers were on it. They know what they are doing at this location. Normally, spouse and I order the box. Has four tenders, slaw, fries and Texas toast. We always order and extra slice each. We also order an extra serving cup of sauce since you can never get enough. Yesterday... We did the Caniac Combo meal. Six tenders, slaw, fries and Texas toast. Extra toast. Then things got out of hand. We ordered a cup (yes, a cup) of Cane's Sauce. $5. Worth it. No regrets. Even tho the place was packed, the service was quick. While the restaurant wasn't necessarily noisy, one dip of a chicken tender in the cup of sauce and every sound melted away. Just two people with their Caniac meals and a cup of Heaven. The chicken was piping hot, as were the fries, the slaw is always great... but we added some Cane's Sauce to it and took it to another level. The tenders were large as were the portions of fries. Spouse couldn't finish the fries. They didn't skimp at all. We walked out with stomachs full. And plenty of Cane's Sauce left to enjoy at home. Definitely recommend.

This Cincinnati location is one of only three remaining in the U.S., and the only location still in its original trolley. It was the Knoxville, Tennessee, location that we frequented in the late '70s and early '80s, a memorable part of my coming of age. My father would transport us to Ollie's in downtown to eat their mediocre burgers and absolutely stellar french fries. Unlike all the other American joints in town with their plain fries, Ollie's loaded theirs with seasoning. We're talking dozens of spices, a very complex mixture indeed! And even though my last taste of those fries would happen in 1984, they never left my memory. Fast forward to 2024. It was 40 years later, and I was driving through an unsavory section of Cincinnati when I spotted that telltale red streetcar and Ollie's Trolley emblazoned in yellow lettering across the top. I nearly lost my mind! I had no idea they still existed anywhere! You can't miss the countless signs lining the fence touting all of the dishes they serve. While the neighborhood isn't as nice as the original takeout spot still standing in Louisville, it didn't matter. The curt greeting from the employee I couldn't see who took my order while remaining invisible behind tinted glass didn't discourage me either. All I needed were those fries. And they are still just as good as they were four decades ago, still thoroughly seasoned with such a level of complexity! That was all I ordered on my stop there, a simple flashback to my youth that I thought was lost forever.
