    Meatloaf and potatoes
    Michelle E.

    I hate this place and at some point I am going to stop trying to get food here. Tonight, after 15 mins, the bartender was informed by the kitchen that they are out of the food that all four of the folks at my table ordered. Then the pickles came out under cooked. At this point I am beyond hangry. We have been here for over an hr and just got the pickles. Once food finally arrived, it was ok. My burger was well done and dry but at this point, how can I complain...it's good after all. Can someone also explain to me how an Irish Pub have rap music playing??? Thankfully I asked the bartender, Althea, to change it and she put on a sea shanty! Lol! Honestly, the bartenders were the saving grace of every experience we have had here. BTW, they have been out of meatloaf each time I have come here after the first time. So sad we cannot have better in Williamsburg.

    Back if menu

    Unique ambiance with a nod to the area's historical ties! We stopped here after visiting Cumberland Falls on our way to Florida. The food was good and it's just a short detour from I-75!

    Burger with beer cheese and fries

    Stopped by while I was down town. Figured I'd try the burger. It had great flavor and the beer cheese definitely was a great choice on this burger.

    Delicious food, and always great live music on the weekends. Fun atmosphere, definitely the place to be when you have some free time

    You will feel nothing but warm welcome when walking into this little pub. If you're lucky enough to have some live entertainment from a local college student, have him sing Tennessee Whiskey... you'll get goose bumps. The bartender (maybe the owner?) is a hoot. Our waitress was so friendly. The drinks were a little watered down, but it is truly this small town's hidden gem. You'll recognize it by the butterfly mural on the side of the building.

    This is what $30 of bad food looks like

    AWFUL THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN YEARS !!!!!!! When I complained the manager came to me and told me to go F myself Ok small band was playing and no one clapped, felt bad for them, so I ordered Scotch Eggs and Fish n chips my girl ordered meatloaf. Scotch Eggs, well being English I know what they should look and taste like,, these were a joke,, they were awful and as you can see I left them, under that plate is my fish and chips,, fish was frozen and not good the 2nd piece had that strong bad fishy taste and I am sat here typing feeling unwell. Meatloaf, had like a BBQ sauce mix with soy sauce twang, in was not edible and she is now also having tummy ache. I told the waitress this was some of the worse food I have ever had, she said she would go get the manager, he came and took my credit card and I showed him this review, he asked me what could he do to make his business better, I explained it was not my position to advise him on his food and experience, to which he responded "Go F@&# Yourself) funny enough a couple at the table next to him heard him and got up and left. I was not after a free meal as I can afford to go out to eat and do on a regular basis but this place was bad. you can see how much food we left,, that should tell you , thats what $30 of substandard food looks like. So maybe the kitchens need inspecting and I would advise checking the ID of the college kids in there, I saw several I know were not 21 being served beer. So dont waste your time or money, look at the other reviews

    Pretty good. Not like on the Malones level but probably the best thing in downtown corbin. I wish…read morethat was saying a lot. The steak was ok. I was a little annoyed that it was lunch and I was told that they only have mashed potatoes for dinner when my coworkers freaking meal CAME WITH mashed potatoes. But oh well. The server was a nice lady. Prior to going in I was sitting in the back lot waiting on my coworker and saw a guy pull up and go in the restaurants back door completely bare foot and then come out a few seconds later. So that was strange. Either way, if you have to eat downtown corbin, this is worth the visit.

    We made reservations for a table of 6 but upon arrival, the whole place was empty and reservations…read moredefinitely weren't necessary. It's pretty dark inside but the lighting fixtures they have are very unique! Wear a lighter layer under your coat/sweater cause it is pretty toasty in there. Our waitress took our order only to find out the prime rib that was advertised out front wasn't available - so she retook everyone's order about 5 minutes later and what I assume was the manager came out to apologize. He stated that he kept reminding the staff to flip the specials out front, assuming this is a reoccurring problem. Three out of six ordered the cowboy ribeye (another advertised special) and it was the same quality you'd get going to Waffle House, unfortunately. The fat wasn't rendered properly leading to rubbery texture and there wasn't a proper sear. 2/10 The other three of us picked the bowl of potato soup (6/10), Philly Cheese Sandwich (9/10), and Shrimp Scampi (7/10). The potato soup was pretty standard and could've used a little more seasoning. When I took my leftovers home, I added onion & garlic powder, kinders the blend, and salt & pepper and it was perfect! Shrimp Scampi tasted good but the noodles were well past Al dente. Not a big deal for the person who ordered it but something to note if you're a texture person. Overall, it was mediocre service (I think our server was new) and hit or miss food. It would be a great place to stop and grab some drinks at the bar, though.
