    cakes are a little heavy
    Daniel P.

    after a poor night's rest I figured I'd get some victuals to match. stumbled across this place looking for another, lot was two-deep in local vehicles end to end so why not... besides, it seems to be the only game in town outside of the casino ;-\ like many small town diners this is a great place if you're from here, otherwise it can be hit or miss; lone waitress tending a fifteen or so tables is as busy making small talk as feeding the masses. found a seat, got a menu and coffee and asked for cakes and eggs plus gravy biscuits in lieu of toast. getting tired of not-quite-set whites on eggs up, this might be popular with the younger crowd but I am not a fan. similarly, the gravy was thicker and darker than is my wont and the pancakes heavy and dull. I prefer my cakes and gravies lighter and brighter but it may be regional differences or possibly the flour went off... seemed to do alright with the biscuity bit though :-)

    It's kind of wild for a chain that is pretty mediocre to be packed 7 days a week. Then again,…read moregiven the competition from Outback and the like, this place comes out on top. On a Wed night, place is packed, but I found one of two empty spots at the bar. The food was decent, on a high protein/low carb diet this is a solid choice. The shrimp was overcooked and overseasoned, but edible. The filet was ordered medium, arrived as med-rare: more rare than med. Taste was good, but should have been left on the grill for another 3 minutes. Overall: Against completion and at this price point, this chain and location are a good option.

    Came in yesterday got a ribeye. Half the steak was fat and over cooked. You would expect some fat…read moreon a ribeye. But half was the steak was unable to be eaten. I called and the manager and she offered to fix and replace the steak. Today went to get the fixed steak, even tried a different cut of meat. Ordered the steak medium rare and received it medium well almost well done. Called back again to inform the manager and she said nothing she can do. So you mess my food up on two separate occasions and act like there's not a problem. Will not return here. I will also advice family and friends to not here as well since there customer comes after that pockets are full. If I pay for something I expect it to be the way I pay for it to be. As you can see by previous reviews they do not even read the reviews. Most show inconsistent cooking of steaks. There big selling point.

    Visited O'Charley's today for lunch. We have never been here before. Nice clean restaurant and…read morebar. We got there at 1:30 and enjoyed a late lunch. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan sandwich with fries same hubby ordered fish and chips. The waitress brought out a basket of rolls with whipped butter. Those were excellent rolls. Yeasty and soft. The butter was perfect too. Loved the rolls. Our meal came and immediately I was impressed with their fish and chips. The menu says hand breaded. The fish looked amazing. Hubby said it very good, great breading, nice and crispy. Great tartar sauce too. I wish I had tried it. My fries were not crispy (no double fry) not crispy at all. They were hot and cooked though. My sandwich was pretty good, not excellent. It had a bit too much sauce in it for me. It had a good flavor and the toasted garlic roll was good. I will be back, but I think I will try something else next time.

To be fair, the servers were very kind and doing their absolute best, but the restaurant was clearly understaffed. Everyone looked frantic, which set the tone right away. The dining room was also freezing, with cold air constantly sweeping in from outside -- not exactly the cozy lunch my mom and I were hoping for. My mom ordered her favorite, the shrimp and grits, and she loved it. Clean plate, no complaints from her. I wish I could say the same for my meal. I ordered the prime rib after asking the server about it. She assured me it was juicy and looked great today. I asked for medium rare. What arrived was a dry, gray slab of meat that was nowhere near medium rare. I cut into it to show her how overdone and dry it was, and she took it back. Eight minutes later, a second prime rib arrived. This one had a tiny bit of pink, but still mostly gray, still dry, and still absolutely not fresh. It tasted like leftover prime rib from the day before that had been microwaved -- that unmistakable reheated texture and flavor. It was honestly disgusting. I choked down less than half before giving up. The baked potato was the only thing I could actually enjoy. The broccoli had a strange, unpleasant taste and went untouched. My mom would genuinely recommend O'Charley's for the shrimp and grits. But for anything else -- especially the prime rib -- I'd suggest steering clear. Or if you do go, just play it safe and get a baked potato. Very disappointing experience, especially for a $32 prime rib in a small Kentucky town.
