I'm not super familiar with the Independence, Kentucky dining scene, but Crewitts Creek Kitchen &…read moreBar has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. I stumbled upon Crewitts Creek while in Independence for my son's soccer game. I only had a short period of time, and though the restaurant and bar were pretty full, I was in and out in less than an hour. Happy Hour is available from 2-6 Tuesday through Friday (they are closed Mondays). Their pick any two for $13 from the Happy Hour menu is an amazing deal! The choices are side salad, wedge salad, bowl of Chili, soup of the day, Jr. club sandwich, or Jr. BLT with cheese. I started with the classic wedge salad with bleu cheese dressing, bleu cheese crumbles, applewood smoked bacon, red onion, and Roma tomatoes. This was a large serving and was full of toppings. My second choice was the Jr. BLT with cheese, and while it says Jr. in the name, this was a full-size sandwich featuring a grilled cheese combined with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. And it was even served with fries. I was not expecting this amount of food for a happy hour offering, but it was more than I could eat, and it was all freshly prepared and great tasting. I would definitely go back to Crewitts Creek again when given the chance.

Was difficult to get refills on bar drinks when ready and dinners were subpar. Strawberry salad chicken appeared to be boiled instead of grilled and steak special was a bit overcooked and unseasoned. Best part was the fried cheese and that always hits at this restaurant. Wedge salad was good also.

The service was not only slow, but unfriendly as well. While we were brought refills on drinks and the coleslaw that came with one of our sandwiches, they were thrown down without a word. The same was true for our food when it finally arrived with the check as well. There was also not a word of apology for the long wait. I should mention that we were among several tables that waited a lengthy amount of time for their orders. There is a sign by the cash register (only visible when leaving!) that says "we specialize in fresh food, not fast food, so please be patient." It's an admirable goal, but not if the expectation is that customers will be fine with waiting an hour for said fresh food. Our sandwiches were good, but that may be because we were ravenous when they finally showed up! My impression is that Family's Main St Restaurant is primarily a hangout for locals to catch up with one another while waiting for breakfast or lunch. While there's a place for restaurants like this, I do not recommend it to travelers who want to eat in a reasonable amount of time and go on their way.

I ordered online at the West Chester location inside the brewery Alexandria I think. It's in a weird spot in the business district. Pick up was easy and it wasn't busy. Service was friendly. I got the double smash burger (regular one) with cheese only. Tots and 12 wings in dry rub. The burger was good. It could use more salt. It did have some seasoning that you could visibly see though. It was a pretty big burger! Not my favorite smash burger but it was good and i'd eat it again. The tots were fine. Much better after being tossed in the air fryer. The wings had great flavor from the dry rub. I would go back for the wings for sure. They were nice and crispy (which i think i may have requested).

Had never been b4 so we had to get an understanding of how things work. We took a seat, and grabbed a menu, as there were no hosts. We picked out our choices and headed to the register. The cashier was pleasant and helpful. We ordered: 1. The Frenchie add Sausage 2. Briskey Business no pickle with home fries 3. Bonuts with cream cheese and berry jam, fried green tomatoes with ranch and cheesy grits. We wanted mimosas but were informed they didn't have a liquor license yet so we couldn't get anything with alcohol. Bummer. Instead we settled for 2 brown sugar Shakens. Our order came out fairly quickly. The presentation was better than the taste. We realized it was near closing time (3p) but the food quality still should've been as tho they just opened. The grits were dry, the fried green tomatoes were extra crispy and the bonuts were hard. The cream cheese icing was delicious as were the brown sugar shakens. The French toast was underwhelming and the brisket came with the pickles even tho we didn't asked for them. The customer service far outweighed the food. The staff was really accommodating. The bathrooms were clean and very cutely decorated. All in all a good visit, it's just we left still hungry. Would return, after they obtain their license to serve alcohol and earlier in the shift. Didn't get any names to personalize this review, as no one had on a name tag. We learned they have only been open for 3 weeks so we give them grace and time to get it together. Still a great experience and would recommend.
