    Omelette with three meats
    Rose F.

    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

    Caprese omlet with egg whites and avocado.  Almond cream cold brew Biscuits and gravy
    Liz K.

    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 food was good, the service was quick, and the place was a little cramped but still comfortable to have a nice brunch.

    5+ Absolutely superb experience…read more Walked in and owner was working the front counter, I love that. Told him we were new and to fix us up so we can sample everything. Here's what we got. Wifey got the Swarma which is a generous portion of grilled chicken, spiced to perfection, on a bed of basmati rice. Came with a cucumber salad side and tazini sauce. Serving was large and came piping hot to the table. I received the half chicken grilled perfectly on charcoal with crispy skin which was delicious. French fries and humus were my sides. Fries were super hot and crispy. Humus was dressed with olive oil and a few chick peas. We got a side of pita bread drizzled with flavored olive oil. We also enjoyed a flavorful hot sauce that came with the meals. The place has in door and outdoor seating. About 6 tables in each space. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Highly recommend without reservations. Would return in an instant. Owner checked on us several times as we ate.

    Can I just say, AMAZING food ALL the time!!! I cannot get…read moreenough of this amazing place, the food is delicious specially the Loaded Fries! The staff is friendly and you get served as soon as the food is cooked which means you get food that is warm and delicious! The ambience is comfortable, the place is a bit small but what do I know, people are kinda too finish their food quickly when they see others waiting. I recommend CHARCOAL to anyone who wants to meet with me for lunch or dinner!! I also have out of towners go with me when they come to visit! Let's go!!!!
