    3 and 3 meal
    Kayla B.

    The lady who took our order was extremely nice and helpful. The chicken strips were good. More like Zaxbys but black pepper forward. Fries were basic. I did not care for the wings. They were very small and over cooked. The fried mushrooms were delicious! I also loved all the sauce choices.

    Hungry Meal with mac and cheese
    Claudia E.

    Not half bad! The anticipation for this opening was killing me, and seemingly everyone else in Etown because I came four days after opening for a late lunch and it was still very busy. I picked up some lunch to-go for my husband and me. For the both of us I ordered the hungry tender meal with mac and cheese (instead of fries), the cayenne ranch chicken sandwich that I got as a reward for downloading the app, and the pecan pie in a jar dessert. I love fried chicken a lot, and have very high standards. Was it the best fried chicken that I've ever had? No. But is it the best anywhere near Etown? By far. I especially liked the sandwich and the pecan pie dessert. The atmosphere is very lively, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Welcome to Etown, Slim Chickens!

    Tried this place out never had it before. It was a nice place to have lunch in. I got the chicken tenders and fry's and they were really worth it. hot and fast.

    Burned "Texas" toast (that's not Texas toast, just wonder bread). The soda I got was also flavorless. My husbands food wasn't much better

    The "Texas toast" is just burned wonder bread. Texas toast is thick cut, this is not that. We paid $24 for two meals and the fries was the only decent thing. The soda, root beer, that I ordered had no flavor. Way overpriced for what you get.

The waitress told us before we ordered of everything they were out of. One was white gravy. I had been torn between the Country Fried steak and their Spaghsana (some kind of spaghetti lasagna fusion). So the steak was out because of the gravy and I ordered the Spaghsana. After she put the order in she came back and said they were out of something for the Spaghsana so I ordered the pork chops with mashed potatoes & carrots. My wife ordered the Monte Cristo and was looking forward to their crescent rolls but they were cold when they're usually served hot appearing to be somewhat fresh. One big one and one half the size of the other. The paper they serve them on was burned on the corner. Not just singed, burned back a few inches. Didn't even have the care for quality's sake to replace the cheap piece of paper. Wow, that's bad. She said the Monte Cristo wasn't as good as usual. My pork chops were dry. I could only eat one as I just didn't want to eat any more. Chops and sides appeared to be pre-cooked and reheated. Another sign of a soon to fail restaurant. Very likely a corporate decision to prepare food this way to maximize profits. They call themselves a scratch kitchen giving the illusion that everything is cooked from scratch. Scratch my a$$. What kind of scratch ingredients were they out of for the gravy? Flour? Milk? Grease? Pepper? Couldn't be pepper as there was some on every table. Who runs out of the other stuff? They're staples in any kitchen. Or is it really not a scratch kitchen and their pre-made gravy wasn't delivered? Cut the order short? Or just poor management? The waitress said their staff was thin which sending staff home early is another sign of cutting back to maximize profits. My Caesar salad wasn't even Romaine now that I think of it. I think it was Iceberg with Caesar dressing. It was even turning brown in spots as if it was past its 'best by' date. All of the staff... the remaining staff was as nice as they could be though. We had decided if she said they were out of anything else, we were just going to leave. The sweet tea was good. That's a plus. We had eaten here many times but tonight was our last. Im sure I'll see soon that this location is closed. Although I've lived in Kentucky all of my life, this appears to be on par with most restaurants in this part of the state. Poor. The place was a bit dirty. There was even a piece of a pork chop on the floor underneath the table were some guy tried to stab it with a fork and it was so tough that it shot off the table. Well, I'm sure that's what happened as I was the guy.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

I was going to a UofL women's basketball game and I FINALLY was able to make it here. I went a little overboard on the food, but everything sounded so good! I really loved the pork belly slider and the duck tacos. Mac and cheese balls always slap. Then there are the famous duck fat fries. The portion is substantial, I was thrilled with that. Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.

The rolls they brought to the table were amazing. Service was great. The only negative thing I can say is that it's a little on the pricey side. They do, however, give a military discount which helped ease the pain just a little bit. In the mid to late 70's on our annual shopping trip to Louisville for school clothes, we stopped there and at the table next to us was Colonel and Mrs. Sanders. They came to our table and talked to us and were very friendly. It's too bad cell phones weren't available back then because we definitely would've taken pictures.

There were unincorporated bits and pieces of flour floating in the milk gravy and it had an uncooked bland, unseasoned taste. The gravy was also a watery consistency similar to milk with little to no substance or ability to even coat the back of a spoon. We also ordered corn muffins and received yeast rolls, which wasn't a big deal since we do happen to like both. Sides of mashed potatoes, corn pudding, creamed spinach, and mixed greens were all as tasty as always. Stewed tomatoes were a bit too sugary for our preference. Chicken and chicken livers were all great, all seasoned well, hot, and tender. Chicken and dumplings was disappointing since it was a majority of chicken pieces (some pieces were not so tender and were borderline dry, chewy) and there were only 3 dumplings with a ratio of 9:1 (chicken:dumpling) and broth sauce was a bit salty. Waitstaff at reception and checkout and gift shop did not greet us as we entered or departed. It felt somewhat aloof, which is odd for a customer-focused approach. Large parking lot with free access and easily accessible for all mobility levels.
