I stopped in here for lunch with two buddies after spending some time at a nearby distillery…read more(Bluegrass Distillers). It was around 1 PM on a Thursday and they were doing good business. We were seated right away inside. They have patio dining, too, but it was hot! Casual place with nothing much to talk about visually. But, comfortable and the staff were welcoming. Our waiter answered our menu questions and offered suggestions when asked. All three of us ended up choosing the Cuban with Cole Slaw. And, we got a side of Onion Rings for the table. The food was good and the sweet tea was cold and refreshing. I enjoy Cuban and Reuben sandwiches and try them when I find them on menus. Their version of a Cuban comes on a bun, not the traditional pressed and grilled Cuban bread or other soft, airy bread. So, it was messy to eat and didn't offer that dense Cuban treat I enjoy. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, we all liked it. But it isn't a Cuban Sandwich by culinary standards. I've had food from The Brown Barrel at events where their food was brought in and it was all good, too. They also have an attached bottle shop where you can buy good bourbon at heavily inflated prices. Overall, this is a solid place for a meal and I'll go back when in the area.

Someone in Frankfort recommended we stop here for dinner on our way to Lexington, since it's on the…read moreway. The place was busy. Some kind of fairy festival going on in the area? There was no parking in their parking lot, so we had to drive down the hill and try our luck with street parking, then walk back up about 5-7 minutes to get into the restaurant. A bit of a pain, especially since the restaurant was only about 50% full. The host or person at the front desk was hiding - sitting on the floor on his phone. We had to lean over the counter to ask him to get up so we could ask him to seat us. He ended up being our server as well, after he literally argued with a coworker who walked up while we were inquiring about a table. "I just took the last two damn tables, isn't it your turn?" doesn't inspire confidence that you're a welcome guest. I ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown. When in Rome, right? The menu says you can get it with Mornay sauce or Kentucky Hot Brown sauce. I asked the waiter which was better - he said the Hot Brown sauce. Sounds great! It came out with the mornay sauce. It was still good, but I was a wee bit disappointed. My companions enjoyed their meals. I picked up a reasonably priced bottle of Sazerac Rye on the way out, since they didn't have any left at the distillery when I was there earlier in the visit.

The spinach and artichoke dip was creamy and delicious, and the bread it was served with perfect. Loaded potato skins were good too.

Kids portion was large enough for a lite eating adult! Our service was outstanding! He was attentive but not overbearing and went above and beyond with our requests. We loved sitting on the patio and appreciated that they had small outdoor fans for the tables to keep the flies away. Even without the happy hour discounts it was very affordable. Highly recommend!

It feels like the kind of "hopping" bar you imagined as a kid, with colored lights, loud energy, and retro knickknacks that look straight out of your grandparents' basement bar in 1986 in Milwaukee. It somehow hits the perfect balance between gritty and fun. And the food? Incredible. Everything tastes fresh and made with real ingredients. The pickles were on point, the burgers were outstanding, and the fries were loaded with toppings--honestly more toppings than fries--and I'm not mad about it at all. My new fave spot when I visit.

I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

I always tell my wife that most Mexican restaurants taste the same to me. This place is different!…read moreI have been wanting to try this for a while because more than one person has told me that it is the best Mexican around. We were not disappointed!! I had the Midway Burrito and it was delicious. The first thing that you notice is the bacon. I don't think that I have ever had bacon in a Mexican restaurant. The second thing that impressed me was grilled chicken that they put in there. Wow, it is good! Adding the chorizo is just another bonus! The creamy Serrano sauce over the top is perfect! It's spicy but not overpowering or too hot, just hot enough to make your mouth tingle and know that there is a nice kick. We look forward to going back and trying the Fundito next time. On the downside, our server wasn't very attentive and she wasn't busy at all.

We were told there was a 30-60 minute wait, so we went to the bar for drinks. After 30 minutes we went to check in to see how much longer and were then directed to one of the outdoor tables that had been open the prior 30 minutes when we first got there. After placing our order, two other tables on each side of us with equal numbers were seated. They were served their food in about 20-25 minutes. We asked for the manager and then after another 15-20 minutes it slowly began coming out. The manager said he was going to "make it right," and when the check came only took off 25%. Poor customer service, wait time unnecessary are resolution didn't add up to the inconvenience.
