Restaurant front in a strip mall nestled between a Dollar Tree and a gym.
Heather P.

I can not believe I just had a hibachi meal for $6.99! Danville, y'all are lucky. I've had both express hibachi and sit down fancy smancy style Japanese steakhouses and this one takes the cake... well, steak. $6.99 beef tips that is. The location is a bit inconspicuous, in a strip mall attached and nestled between a Dollar Tree and a gym. At first you get the feel that it's an express hibachi, which in a way it was... only as far as the fact that they make it in the back, not at a hibachi table in front of you and the fact that the food arrived minutes after ordering. When I walked in, I have to admit that I was a bit put off by the sign that indicated that there's a $.50 surcharge for any order under $8. What I found most annoying about it is that after gratuity I spent well over $8. Did they seriously think this through? I assure you that it's more annoying and off putting to the patrons than the $.50 is worth. I ordered the beef tip hibachi. Even though they didn't make it in front of me, I could hear the chef in the back preparing what just might be the best hibachi meal I've ever had. Yep, I think I'm past the annoyance of the credit card penalty. Yep, it was the best hibachi I've ever had. The beef was perfectly flavored and not a hint of fat. The vegetables that are hidden by the mound of what they consider lunch portion size of beef, were fresh and tasty, not your average pre-chopped or frozen vegetables. I know fresh mushrooms when I see them. How far is Danville from Lexington? I would say that it's worth stopping in if you're passing through like I was, but I'm going to go as far to say that it's worth the trip from Lexington.

Ribeye and rice ..... OH so nice!!!

After a day long visit to Shaker Village, a 10 minute drive to the Old Owl Tavern (part of the…read moreBeaumont Inn) was the perfect choice for dinner. As soon as we parked the car we were greeted by a ginormous need of mint...the scent was inticing. The tavern does not take reservations and we arrived at the perfect time, around 5:30. But 6 pm the bar was full and most of the tables were also filled. The tavern had good character, dark, woody...with photos of rick houses on the wall along with paintings of two fierce owls. We were greeted immediately and had the pleasure of being served by the most pleasant and efficient waitress. Enough choices for bourbon, some good drafts, and a deliciously made dry martini (along with a coffee for our tea toatler yesterday) started is off. There was a nice selection of specials for the day...some of which only a true southerner could appreciate (fruit gel topped with mayo, tomato spicy over cottage cheese topped with mayo) and some like cream of broccoli soup and steak boardelaise that even a yank could appreciate. Our table settled on two orders of fried catfish which came with a choice of two sides...baked potato and coleslaw were the choices. One of our diners choose the fried chicken livers that came with cream gravy...she chose the broccoli soup and corn pudding as her sides. Our tea toatler chose the country fried steak. I will term you that everyone cleaned their plates...it was that good. A final round of coffee, the OK from the waitress that we could pick some mint (which was planted in our garden at home) and we were off. Guess who is coming back? Me!!!

Table for three was cleared and handed to us promptly (they don't take reservations)…read more Drinks were great (old fashioned and manhattan). Server was attentive and friendly. House salad was fresh with fantastic blue cheese dressing I assume was house made. Chicken livers were impeccable--crispy outside and tender and delicious inside. Gravy was nice (hint of nutmeg?) mash was acceptable but not outstanding. Chicken my companions had was good. Banana cake was outstanding! Cobbler was undercooked and not tasty (they gladly subbed in an orange/lemon cake which was great) bread pudding and cobbler both looked a little sad next to the cake portions. Perhaps think about human nature when you are pushing out desserts. It is very easy to feel let down when your dessert is tiny and your neighbor's dessert is huge! Just a thought. Recommend highly! Atmosphere, service, food, the whole picture.
