    Fried mushrooms
    Kelly F.

    We had a burger with fries and a fish and fries. Mushrooms for an appetizer. Their fries were amazing. The mushrooms were a bit greasy but had a great taste. Nice selection of food. The food came out quickly. I enjoyed the fish however it was a small portion. Nice local hangout area.

    Catfish, pasta salad, and baked potato

    Everything they have is good!! I'm not usually a fan of catfish but I must say, theirs has changed my mind! Excellent food and service!! One of my favorite restaurants!

    Sampler Platter

    Quite place straight across from the copper penny, lovely interior that makes you feel right at home. Sampler platter was excellent, chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were great, potato skins were good. Cheese burger was great, fries were amazing and were the best I've had in a long time, and steak was quite good, cooked to a perfect medium well. Server was nice and sweet, and was good on service. Exceeded expectations, and for a good price! if I'm in the area again I plan on returning.

    Fried green tomatoes with spicy ranch sauce. Delicious

    I had a pleasant experience here for the first time while on a work trip. The atmosphere is awesome. Plenty of booths and tables around and then a separate bar area with lots of seats. They also play great music in the background-mix of country, classic, oldies. They have WiFi!!!! So save ok your data, folks. In addition, they have great, attentive service. Food and drinks were served quickly after ordering. Various drink specials including $2 draft domestics most nights! The fried green tomatoes and the spicy ranch sauce were AWESOME. They compete with a place I eat from back home. The bison burger was cooked and seasoned well. Bread was soft and warm. The sauce was a little bland but that's the ONLY complaint with food. Very good experience! Will come back when in London

    Came here after the Redbud Ride, so I was pretty hungry and ready to eat. Initially, service was really good but I think it fell flat after our order was taken. Not that I expect a server to be overjoyed to bring food out to my table, but good attitudes from the staff makes a dining in experience pleasurable, in my person opinion. I did not feel that here. Once the waitress came to our table to fill our cups after visiting a table prior and whispered something along the lines of "that's what kinda day it is" after the customer asked for thousand island. Regardless, I thought the food was good for a simple and light meal! I did ask for a side of BBQ sauce that I never got, but it was not necessary. The chicken was marinated and grilled to perfection. The vegetables in the salad were also very fresh and the cheese was actual cheddar, not the powdery kind you sometimes get at restaurants! While I was displeased with the service, I would come back for the food!

    We were staying at the Baymont up the street. 10% discount with room key. Nice place, clean. Seated immediately. Coke products. The waitress was one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! Appetizer was good combo: potatoes skins, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks. Jenni got the Abby salad - well made, huge amount of chicken on top. I had Ruben. Wasn't rye bread but perfectly toasted, meat was little over salted, little light on kraut. (Have to admit I am a bit of a Rubeun snob). Otherwise would definitely recommend as an all american fair bar/restaurant.

    What a cute dive restaurant. Everyone at the bar was so friendly and chatty. Would go back. Wings were really good.

    The Abbey is an icon of Fontana. It is a great place for food, drinks or relaxing. I would highly recommend the Abbey!

We wanted to attend the Billiards Tournament but it was canceled due to illness. This place is more an event venue that what you would expect for a restaurant. It has two full bars inside, a outside tiki bar, a large dance floor and outside stage. So if you enjoy concerts and other similar events, this place is for you. This may be suited best for large groups. Also if they are having a concerts, if you just plan on having a drink, (Cover is $12.00) don't expect to get in if you are not interested in the concert. it wold be more geared toward, girls night out, game night or karaoke, it may be a great place. Beer was ok, and food was average, nothing bad, just not my atmosphere.

Coleslaw was very good. French fries were hot, soft, and not crisp. The building is really awesome. An actual ice house converted into a large area with a stage for band, and another smaller room. We enjoyed the decor and ramp to use. Cute outhouse at entrance by the ramp. Service was excellent as we were the only customers at 4:00 pm. Very friendly.

    On a recent trip to get out of Louisville on Derby Weekend my wife did some looking for something…read moreto and Lemons Mill Brewery was one of those stops after a 2 mile hike (up hill, all the way) at Shaker Village. Kind of an unassuming place, Lemons Mill Brewery isn't all about the hype and outrageous signage, but more about the laid back atmosphere and about being genuine. And it hits that nail on the head. On this Saturday we walked in and sat at the bar, looking for some liquid/cooling refreshment. We were immediately greeted by Colin (as I recall) who engaged us in conversation and answered questions about the beers on tap. It wasn't long before I arrived on my flight of choice for this afternoon. Although they featured beers brewed by Lemons Mill they also had brews on tap from other breweries. I'm the kind of guy who's generally interested in the house brews, so that was my focus. My flight of four were all great picks, and I especially liked the G-Spot Jalapeño Ale. As we sat at talked to Colin and with Keith (one of the owners) the time started to fly by. They were both genuinely nice guys who knew a lot about beer and LOVE what they did. We had an absolutely FANTASTIC afternoon. So much fun, in fact, that my wife even ordered a cider (and that, my friends, does not happen often). It's bigger than it looks on the outside, with a sizable bar, quite a few tables, and all their brewerying equipment out in plain sight. They're not hiding a thing. I wish Lemons Mill was closer to home, but at about an hour away it's really not that far from J-Town. Don't pay attention to reviews that knock this place down for its location or exterior appearance. They're wrong. The heart of Lemons Mill is inside. OH...and I have a 4-pack of the G-Spot Jalapeño Ale at home.

I hosted an event here and the owners were truly so wonderful to deal with but I have to highlight Keith. He was such an absolute GEM of a human, he helped me decorate for the party and was so helpful throughout the evening, seeing to it that every single one of my guests was taken care of and we had everything we needed. They have an impressive beer list that I'm pretty sure Keith brews, including some fun and unique offerings like ones that incorporate jalapeño and peach and mango. The mango was particularly delicious and puts Mango Cart to shame! The place itself is super cute and well decorated and I know if I was local I would have spent a lot more time there. They also arranged a local BBQ spot to cater, which was delicious. I truly thank these folks from the bottom of my heart for their stellar beer and wonderful hosting skills and hope they THRIVE, as they deserve.
