Claims to be "the oldest operating tavern in the state", but when do they even operate? How is this a successful business model? We drove over an hour, looking forward to playing pool on the 100+ year old pool table while enjoying a hot lunch and drinks. how disappointed do you think we were when we arrived to find it not only closed but looking abandoned. And do you think that there was any information regarding this on the front window? NOPE! Posted hours are 10-8 Monday through Saturday. Do you suppose that because the bickleton city website says that the blue bird inn is open Monday through Saturday 10-8, the bluebird inn website and the only signage on the front of the place says the same, with zero mention of only being open seasonally, that we may not be the only prospective customers that made the long drive into the middle of nowhere only to be disappointed? IT IS NOT OPEN YEAR ROUND.

Mr. Wonderful ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger and I had the BLT, with a side salad. Once I tasted Nick's fries, I had to order my own. Yes, they're that good! Service is excellent, thank you, Angelique. One chef - one waitress, running the *entire show and they managed to take care of every single one of us in the restaurant without a hitch! Spacious, clean, well thought out environment. They do have a stage at the front of the restaurant so I'm guessing they have live music? We recommend the Honky Tonk bar and Grill.

Dinner went well. Pretty much excellently. The rodeo burger…read morewas fantastic. The bbg sauce was both subtle and bold. The flavor profile caught both my wife and I by surprise. I'm a bbq connoisseur. My wife not as much. She enjoys how much I like it, but would likely prefer not always wanting the bbq option on a menu. We had bread pudding for dessert. The healthy scoop of vanilla ice cream was a perfect way to close out our dinner. It's a husband and wife business, and the wife knows how to serve elevated food at a comfortable down-to-earth restaurant bar. If you haven't gone yet. Please. Go !

When we dine at Hi-way house it's special. We expect a great meal. Tonight it wasn't. Arrived at…read more7pm. No New York steaks or prime rib. Had $45 rib steak with the smallest peaked potato (barely warm)I have ever been served And 4 green beans. The rib eye ordered med had no pink inside no seasoning and tasted a little off. 4 adults and 3 children in out r party. 2 tables came in after us. One of 4 one of 5. Table of 5 was well after us 4 slightly after. Starters arrived quickly, dinner 45 mins later. Table of 5 dinner served immediately after starters were finished, table of 4 soon after. 10 + minutes later we finally were served. Both tables had steak and other items. We ordered 5 steak 1 salmon special and 1 children menu item. Steaks were not cut properly or were butt cuts did not even look nice. And due to 7 people we were automatically charged a $65 gratuity! Very disappointing.
