    Tucked in a small strip mall is this nice little bistro style restaurant. We had breakfast there. You place your order at the counter and they bring the food out. The decor is in the modern-country look. Their service was a little slow, but friendly. The prices are moderate. We ordered biscuits and gravy and their signature breakfast burrito. Both dishes were excellent and made to order fresh. The biscuits looked and tasted house made. The signature burrito was stuffed with delicious items such as - avocado, egg, potato, cheese and tomato jam. The tomato jam- with a hint of cinnamon really gave the burrito an excellent flavor. Would highly recommend this burrito!

    Nice little breakfast/lunch spot near Kentucky Arts Distillery. Stopped here before our tasting for a quick breakfast. I loved the choices offered. I had the Avocado toast with fruit and hubs had the omelette with the three meats (can't remember name) - delicious! It's order at the counter and food brought out. As a side note the potatoes were sooo good. Prices reasonable and friendly service.

    Great little place I found (due to Yelp!) that is near a distillery we are touring. Has a great relaxed atmosphere. Very cozy. Mismatched tables and chairs. You order at the counter and they deliver your food and drinks. We shared a homemade cinnamon roll which they warmed up and served before our meals were served. I had the Signature Burrito. It it is stuffed with ingredients. It was good except it had tomato jam in it, which was a little sweet and not something i care for in my burrito. My wife had eggs, bacon, and taters. The bacon was some kind of smoked bacon and crispy. Very good. Also the taters were very nicely seasoned and perfectly roasted. I had coffee, but found it pretty bland and could do for an upgrade. Overall a great place and I would definitely recommend it.

    Beignets

    The beignets were so good and so was the iced sweet tea and so sad that I couldn't eat more of them because I was saving room for funnel cake at the state fair.

    Sausage & Bacon Quesadilla shared!

    Lovely find in C'wood, friendly service and delicious breakfast quesadilla shared with hubby

    In an attempt to find a local business for brunch, the original one chosen had a 1 hour waitlist. That definitely tells you it's good if people will wait. However, given we had driven over an hour and were now hangry, we needed somewhere close and quick. Another online review source gave this place high marks as it was here or the chain breakfast restaurant closer to where we started. Called in to hear that they were steadily busy but not crazy. The GPS confused us because the sign on where to turn and what the GPS said didn't match, which made us miss the turn. This quaint little cafe is tucked in the corner of a small strip mall. It looks like it used to be part of a drive thru take out place before as there was a drive up window and an unconnected order menu board. This is ideal spot for the local neighborhood and you can tell it's well liked as there was a steady stream of patrons in/out for sit down and take out. They had a cute little breakfast bar with pastries that is ideal for a grab and go thing. The bar has bourbon barrel seats which definitely keeps you in the KY atmosphere. We arrived a little close to 1230pm. There were a couple tables ready to sit at but had to ask for someone to clean up. The table next to us had a small family seated before us. We noticed that although the table top was cleaned, the chairs and floor with the crumbles from the Littles was not swept up. Although it wasn't filthy, it was a little distracting when we realized the next person who sat down didn't realize they sat on food. The staff are either high school or early college students. All were pleasant and helpful. Hubby ordered the biscuits and gravy. When I asked why he didn't order any sides he said we were already rung up our order that didn't give him a chance to ask. Of course, that's also his fault for not speaking up (haha). My order was the French Toast which was supposed to come with a bourbon Maple syrup and pecans. Not a big pecan fan so it wasn't a big deal it was missing but there wasn't even a hint of bourbon detected. The extra egg and sausage ordered was perfect and a good choice for sides. It's just too bad they didn't include it as part of the order. My suggestion would be to order the classic if you want a traditional big breakfast. The steel cut oatmeal bowls looked appealing and good portion. The same with the beignets they offer. The gravy was a disappointment. Although not a bad flavor, when you've grown up with SOS style gravy the expectations are a bit high. From what it tasted the gravy is more of a chicken base than a sausage based flavoring that we're used to enjoying. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but helpful to know if you are expecting what we did. Overall, it is in hopes that Hardin County opens up something like this place for us to enjoy closer to home. If you're in Oldham County,this may be a good option for a quaint weekend place that's not insanely busy with decent food and service.

    BYO Omelette, biscuit, potato

    Greatttt omelette! Potato's were so crispy and hot! Biscuit felt homemade in the best way

    Quaint little breakfast nook. Food was tasty and cold brew was strong. Service was friendly and helpful. Wish they didn't have cleaning supplies and trash can in view behind the counter and maybe some music playing. Minor issues compared to a great overall experience will definitely recommend this place.

The owner stopped by our table to say hello. She is such a ray of sunshine! The food was delicious. I enjoyed everything i had. The jerk chicken sandwich, pasta salad, and the grits. I sampled my husband's meal as well. He got the sweet potato waffles. We were thinking that the sweet potato would be infused in the waffle, but we were surprised to find the sweet potato toppings on top of the waffle. It was so scrumptious. We can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu.

We had the privilege of meeting Blondie and talking to her about some of the menu items. She was fun and lovely. My two favorites - the chicken salad croissant and pimento cheese with candied bacon and pepper jelly. My husband loved the buffalo cauliflower; however, I found it to be too spicy and one piece was enough. We also grabbed the cornbread appetizer, which wasn't a standout. The menu is full of brunch items served on the weekend. I'm ready to come back to enjoy the chicken and waffles, plus Jim's biscuits and gravy. While there I also sampled the red beans and rice (yum) and cornbread salad (double yum). Several lunch and dinner items plus cocktails and drinks. Everyone in your group should find it easy to find a choice. The decor is bright and fun. Service was top notch. Parking is easy. Come support and enjoy Norton Commons!

    I'm so glad we found this place yesterday. We arrived early in Louisville for a networking event…read moreand wanted to hang out somewhere with a nice outside area. We definitely found the right place. The patio area with the Koi pond and waterfall was perfect. My wife and I had the Fried Green Tomatoes and Selena's Crab Caps.

Our server was great and one of the owners did come by to check on us also. I would definitely come back to try more of their food.

    We had originally gone because we saw the $2 bellini and mimosa special advertised, but when we got…read morethere they were actually $5. I'm not sure if the $2 version was a smaller size or only offered at certain times, but honestly... the drinks were still worth it. The flavor was amazing, and unlike a lot of brunch drinks that taste watered down, these were actually strong. Two glasses definitely had me feeling tipsy, so I can't complain too much there. The main reason I took off a star was the parking situation and accessibility concerns. The handicap parking is positioned perpendicular to the main road, which honestly feels unsafe when backing out. If someone already has mobility or visibility limitations, backing directly into a busy road can be stressful and dangerous. The rest of the parking area is also gravel, which can be difficult to navigate with mobility aids, wheelchairs, walkers, or even just for someone unsteady on their feet. It's one of those situations where it's great that handicap parking exists close to the entrance, but the actual setup still creates challenges. Outside of that, the drinks themselves were genuinely really good, the atmosphere was fun, and I'd probably still come back for another brunch date.

I had so many questions about the menu items. She did a great job and we were finally ready to order. I'm glad she didn't give up on us. We chose an appetizer-SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP with Pita Chips. Oh My! They were heavenly and fresh out of the oven. For our entrees my husband chose the CHICKEN & WAFFLES. The chicken was a breaded patty atop the Waffles and had a rather large mound of honey butter on top and a ramekin of warm maple syrup. I chose the SMASH BURGER that comes with two 1/3 pound angus beef patties, brie, smoked bacon, apple butter, bibb lettuce, and red onion on a toasted brioche bun. It's topped with apple butter. Let me tell you, it was delicious!! I shared a Caesar Salad for my side. It was very large and we were starting to fill up, but it was great. It had parmesan crisps on it. Mackenzie did a great job bringing out dishes at the proper time. We were really having a wonderful time. The ambiance in the restaurant tonight was kind of quiet. There were couples and galentine groups. We had a great time. Then we decided that the "Special Dessert" that Mackenzie mentioned earlier tonight really looked good. They were BEIGNETS, something different from most restaurants and that we just had to try it. Oh was it Yummy. 4 BEIGNETS, sprinkled with sugar and had a swirl of chocolate inside and a little ramekin of vanilla sauce to dip the beignets in. It was YUMMY! It was an amazing night and Mackenzie took some pictures of us together. She was precious! Robyn

    First things first the food was incredible. I went for the Valentine's Day four course special and…read moretruly every course was a delight. The burrata was so well balanced with the accompanying tomato, the tuna was so juicy and well seared, and the lemon sorbet had me dreaming of lemons for hours after. The food is genuinely worth the price point! If you care though, the restaurant is VERY plain. There is very little personality in the decor, and aside from some unconventional chairs and a tile floor by the bar, nothing really sticks out as pleasing to the eye. I chose this restaurant for Valentine's Day to have a romantic, intimate atmosphere, and the vibe was giving summer camp lunch. The floor plan is very open and super grey, with plain wood tables. Even the servers were in very casual clothing. Any other night this would have been fine, but for Valentine's Day, I wish I had picked something more romantic. Overall I really enjoyed the food here and will for sure be back, just not for any special occasions.
