Crowded House swag-Souvenirs and remembrances

You really need to head to Madisonville, KY, oand experience the best of small town life. Friends, do yourself a huge favor and go to The Crowded House !!! Chris and Kelly Nix Devoto and their staff will make you feel instantly at home with house-made, elevated gastro pub delights that you'll remember forever! There's live music on weekends, service with wit aaannnd wisdom, and the atmosphere says "come sit a spell" . It often seems that the food world has only two speeds: change for change sake, or, if it ain't broke don't fix it. The Crowded House strikes a near impossible balance between tradition and innovation. Jalepeno poppers in an amazing sauce, fresk, crisp salads, amaxing burgers, and unique and tasty chicken entrees. Food that is familiar, but with just enough of a twist to insure you'll never be bored. We can't wait to go back!!

Pimento cheese dip
Rhett B.

I have recently been exploring Madisonville lately and one of the most highly rated places is The Crowded House. The restaurant is in an old building but it has a bar area, a dining area, and a stage area for music. My fiancé, stepson, and I started off with the hot pimento cheese dip. The dip was delicious but the chips is what I loved the most about the dip. I'm not much of a chip guy but these chips were made from a kettle. For my entree, I went with the COVID-57 burger. I wish the patty was more meaty but it was all right. It was an Angus beef burger. The burger came with 57, fried pickles, and brie cheese. It was suppose to also have red onion but they forgot it. Pretty good burger overall! Fries were hand-cut. My fiancé had the fish tacos and she enjoyed them. But the sweet potato fries she had were even better as they were crispy. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet. The menu has burgers, steaks, and chicken. If you are craving one of those, give The Crowded House a try.

Roasted Vegetable Salad

Wow, this place is awesome! We were on the road for days and sorry to say but had nothing tasty until we got here. I'm vegetarian and my husband is a carnivore. There was plenty for both of us. Very much enjoyed the tempura mushroom dish and the roasted vegetable salad. He had the catfish with hush puppies and said it was great. Way to go guys - you're killing it!

Awesome spot in rural Kentucky. Here on business (from NYC) and met up with a few coworkers for a solid meal. This place is very hip and has similar vibes to spots in Brooklyn or Hoboken. Great craft beer selection. Great small bites. Friendly service.

Traveling thru and found on Yelp. Choose inside seating as it was cool outside. Fried pickles. how can you go wrong? Server recommended good beer. As I was sipping, noticed wall of 4 blackboards of whiskey choices. Asked server to have bartender recommend one under 10. Brought out the bottle and showed me like a bottle of wine. how did I want? One cube. Yum. I had the COVID-57 burger with Heinz 57 sauce. Perfectly done and tasty. Wife had the patty melt on a nice rye bread with homemade chips, she enjoyed very much. we were on early on a weekday so service was good. Server was helpful and fun. Food was great. Would def go back.

Asian Glazed Salmon Salad
Debbie T.

Went here with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday. Staff very friendly, welcoming. Cool small town gastropub vibe. Waitress was very attentive. Kept our drinks refilled. I ordered the Glazed Salmon Salad. We also ordered the app sampler with fried pickles, pimento cheese dip and mushrooms. 5 stars just for the apps! They have an extensive assortment of beers and cocktails for those who enjoy those. Definitely will be eating here more often.

The Bang Bang Shrimp was amazing. You really need to consider making it an entree with steamed rice and a veggie.
