We came on a Saturday, for brunch. We ordered Hot Chicken & Waffles, Biscuits & Gravy, A Hot Brown,…read moreand a side of bacon, cheese grits, and a side salad. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of grits, in fact, I've never had grits I have enjoyed, until now. The texture and taste were perfect, and my kids even ate them up! The waffles were the right balance of crispy and soft, and the syrup, and sauces were fresh and favorable. I have 4 kids, and the service was very kid friendly, they were very thoughtful and foresaw needs before we even asked. This is our first time here, and it won't be our last. The location is quaint, the music is calm and soothing, and on this rainy day it was perfect. So, support your local establishments and come on in! Looking forward to trying the Brick Oven Pizza!

My husband and I have been big fans of this restaurant ever since we moved to Mt. Sterling five…read moreyears ago. The food was generally great, the atmosphere is nice, and the service was just on and off -- generally slow, but we really believe in supporting local businesses so we thought we'd take the bad with the good. However, the last several months have had been terrible in terms of service. One example was when we took one of my work colleagues to T&F a month ago, and the two teenagers working there completely forgot to make my colleague's pizza. They said it was coming and then a half hour later, still nothing. We got, "Dude, sorry," and then they made it after I asked again. Other times, we've had to ask for refills, one of us would have to wait a lot longer for our food, and things were generally just becoming more and more disorganized. One of our favorite things has been the Four Course Friday events - expensive, but worth it-- until last night. They had raised the price to $39.50 per person (it had been $35 per person), but since we like the food and want to support a small business, we thought, hey it's Dolly Parton day, let's go out and have a great dinner. We made a reservation Thursday evening for Friday at 5:30. I had had a long day at work, and I looked forward to it. When we got there, the kids working the counter seemed confused and disorganized, and when I asked where our table is (we had reservations) they said we could pick one (they usually have people's names on the tables for those with reservations). So we ordered and sat down, and then waited 15 minutes until I went to the counter to ask about our drinks, and they finally brought them. Then again, we waited. There were at least 4 teenagers working (maybe 5), plus an adult who I think is a manager, as well as the owner. Then they eventually brought our salads (course 2) but we still hadn't gotten our appetizers (course 1). When they brought the salads, I asked about the appetizers, and the kid said, oh yeah, they're coming. Eventually we got those, and after we finished, another kid brought us salads (course 2 again), and I had to let him know we already had them. (Note: in the mean time, more and more people were coming in and some people were sitting outside. There were several times where we saw one or more of the kids bring food outside only to bring it back in since there was confusion about who had ordered what etc). We finally got our entrees (course 3), and then we waited forever, and no one stopped by, no one asked if we needed refills of our drinks, no one noticed the empty plates. We saw the kids look our way, but then they just went on serving others or hung out at the counter, talking to each other. I finally asked about our desserts (course 4), and they had to ask us what we had ordered. I told them (again), and they brought me mine and just forgot my husbands. I looked at the clock - another 15 minutes. Nothing. So I finally saw the manager and asked him about what was going on, and he said "16 year olds." A kid finally brought my husband's dessert, but by that time, an hour and a half had passed, and others who came in after us had already left. So we asked for a box to just take it home. So the manager said he would talk to the owner, and he was gone for a while, and he asked for my name and number and said the owner would call me. Then he offered us some free ice cream. I mean, what? We said no thanks and left. I have yet to receive that call. The owner has not called, and we've heard before from the manager that there's been an issue with finding teenagers with work ethics. This was completely insane, and after spending almost $100 to have such crummy service and a lame response like, "16 year olds"... it's not a valid excuse. There are kids out there with good work ethics, or if you can't find any, hire adults that know what they are doing. These kids need leadership and to be organized. No excuses. Both the manager and the owner were right there. If this would have been a fluke, okay, but it's become a continual problem. Change starts at the top, and if kids are friendly and nice, great, but they have to do the job, otherwise, they should go. At this point, my husband and I have decided to not go back. It sucks and it's a shame. We want Tomatoes & Flames to succeed and will miss their food. But if you can't get your work crew to have their act together, you're going to keep losing more and more customers who were not only willing to spend a lot of money there, but believed in your business.

We dined at Romero's with friends on a Tuesday evening, and it was my first time visiting, although…read moreour friends had been before. The restaurant has a fun horror-themed atmosphere, and from what I could gather, there seems to be a connection to some older horror movies. I'm not entirely sure of the backstory, but it definitely gives the place a unique personality! I ordered the chicken piccata with a side salad, my husband got the burger made with beef and chorizo (with an added egg) and onion rings, and our friends ordered the salmon and chicken marsala. One thing to know when ordering: you'll be asked whether you want a side salad or an extra piece of bread. My advice? Get the side salad! The extra piece of bread is very tiny, so you're much better off with the salad. Now, let's talk about the food, because my dinner was AMAZING. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the breaded chicken was light and crisp, and that white wine sauce was absolutely decadent. Every bite was delicious, and I honestly feel like I found my go-to dish here on my very first visit! My husband loved the onion rings, too. His only complaint was that there were just four of them. They were pretty large, so it's not like they were tiny portions, but a couple more would have been nice. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner, and I'm so glad our friends introduced us to Romero's. There are several other things on the menu I'd like to try, but when you find something this good on your first visit, it's hard not to want to order it again! One thing at the end of the meal that I wasn't a fan of is the way they bring the bill out. They don't bring a receipt to show you what the charges are and give you opportunity to review. Our waiter brought a device over for payment and I didn't get the opportunity to review anything. It was just a screen with a total on it. I'll definitely be back. Great food, a unique atmosphere, and a new favorite dish? That's a win in my book!

The menu was nice and diverse, something for everyone. Two of use got the Thursday special, meatloaf and the other two, fried chicken. The meatloaf was spot on good. I ordered mashed potatoes/gravy, and cabbage/green as sides. The potatoes were good but the gravy could have been seasoned a bit more, but still good. The cabbage and greens were very tasty with a good smokiness from bacon. A little bit of acidity would have put this over the top, and again, still very good. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice coating, not greasy at all. The staff were great and the restaurant itself was simple but nice and clean. Prices were fair. I highly recommend stopping at this humble little restaurant for some good home cooking.
