The sausage tasted like regular sausage so I am not sure if I got the right thing or not. Decor is very basic with a retro feel to it. Server was pleasant although a little flakey, especially for it being 10am on a Friday. If I needed a quick breakfast in this area again I would return.

Ambiance is always comfortable and friendly. We didn't eat but the people seated next to us at the bar ordered the Steakhouse Pappardelle Stroganoff with fettuccine and they said it was amazing. Ok. So we're back for dinner tonight. Our server, Travis, is friendly and attentive. Brought out rolls that tasted freshly made, a little sweet/salty that was very tasty. Entrees: the Stroganoff is delicious. Steak is tender, not overcooked, fettuccine tastes homemade and cooked Al dente; and the mushrooms and sauce are delicious! Perfect amount of garlic and creaminess. The Bourbon glazed pork chop was made to order-gluten, soy and dairy free per our request. It was thick and juicy. We have not been disappointed with this restaurant and can't wait for our next visit!

Man, oh man, where do I even start... We did go in with a very large party of 15 but I should've…read moregot a clue when there was like a kid working at the hostess stand. I really wish our server would've said hey it's only me and a bartender working. We were there for five hours a lot of people ordered ribeyes. They were so salty and overcooked. None of the guys ate any of it. We actually took it home for the dog.. The only thing I can say that was positive is the server really tried, but he should've communicated better. We would've picked somewhere else to go as we didn't have time for a five hour dinner. I wish I had something positive to say, but the food was atrocious after a hard day work we really hoped for a nice meal, but we just didn't get it here!

We ate here on Saturday. My first time visiting in Glendale, KY. It was the first time for any of…read moreour group of 3 at this restaurant. It is in a very old building that has covered front porch that connects it to a couple other businesses that appeared to be antique stores. Tony, the owner, greeted us just inside the door to the restaurant. He took us to our table and spoke to us about his business and that his mother was his inspiration for cooking. He's the youngest of 10 children. We enjoyed talking to him. The waitress was friendly. We all enjoyed our meal. Mine was fried chicken breast, corn on the cob and potato salad. It all tasted good. The homemade strawberry ice cream was recommended by Tony so we got it for dessert. It was a disappointment. It was served in a very small glass tea cups and was a liquid with slices of strawberry. The waitress knew it was not appealing since it didn't freeze well when it was made yet served it to us anyway. I didn't eat much of mine. The strawberries were good. My friend paid the bill so I don't know the total cost of my meal. But, the prices on the menu were all very reasonable for the quantity of food. Glad we tried this restaurant. Overall, I would recommend.

My guest had a Gluten restriction and was shocked to learn that the chef could make her fried green tomatoes using corn flour to accommodate. Overall, they offered a lot of GF options for her. She was thrilled as she said that it was the first time in 16 years she's been able to enjoy them. I reserved most of that appetizer for her, but I did have one slice and to be honest, it was either that or the shrimp alfredo I had, I was not feeling good at all within an hour of our meal. I suspect that it was the corn meal as I was not used to it. I would try again, but I will order something else next time.

The Bad: The food, wasn't terrible but I swear it was the Whitest white-people food that I have ever eaten. Bland is an understatement. The Mac-n-cheese was so watery and had zero flavo. Catfish was ok but everything else was flavorless. Maybe try adding a little bit of SEASONING to your meals. People like food with good flavor not food that tastes like cardboard. Country style food should be flavorfu.
