The staff is kind and attentive and the food comes out within a reasonable timeframe. They're always gracious to my family and my young children. We feel welcomed every time. Today my son got to see the train go by and I'm certain he'll be happily chattering about it for several days. What a treat. We look forward to seeing yall in May.

This is a unique restaurant in the heart of La Grange, KY. For those who don't know, La Grange is…read morefamous for being one of the only towns in the US where a CSX mainline freight train track runs right down the center of its Main Street, with up to 20 trains a day. It's a dining experience like no other -- while dining, you may feel the rumble and see the train as it passes in front of the restaurant windows. The food is also worth the trip. American food like grandma used to make with a few fun Mexican or Italian dishes. The menu is entertaining to read too. I personally love their "Half Brown" which is more like 2/3 of a Hot Brown. If you're really hungry, the whole "Haute Brown" will be for you! Save room for dessert though -- all of which are good but my favorite is their Kentucky Bacon pie. The service can be very spotty here. My hubby and I have eaten here frequently. I'm not sure why the service is super and why it can sometimes be agonizingly slow. That's the only reason I gave it a 4 rather than a 5.

After going to a Dr appointment we decided to go to lunch at Gustavo's LaGrange location. It's…read more a large square building with the walls painted in beautiful bright Mexican decor, with lots of decorations all around. All of the Gustavo's have the same menu and this was Taco Tuesday, so we knew what we wanted to eat. We went in and was immediately taken to a booth and our server, Jacobo was there to take our order. We each had 2 Soft Tacos with Grilled Chicken and a Small Cheese Dip. It was pretty empty when we got there but it started filling up with families and I just really loved watching them start eating their chips and dips! Jacobo came by our table about 4-5 times to see if we were ok. He was really friendly and asked us to come back again. Gustavo's staff at any of his restaurants are the most polite, friendly and well mannered servers that could be found anywhere. Robyn

It's time to speak up on the pricing here. The food you get for the price is mediocre at best. $16…read morefor an enchilada and a hard ground beef taco with a smear of beans and bland rice is insane. For the portion size this should be $7.99 at best. Take a family of 5 to lunch and drop $105 with no drinks other than water is crazy.

Oh my goodness, talk about some delicious authentic Mexican food! We got a selection of tacos and…read morethey were all so good! The carnitas and the pastor were our favorite. The chips and salsa and queso were also very tasty. We also got a steak and cheese quesadilla and needless to say it didn't last long! It is small enough and back hidden in a corner of a strip mall but was clean inside and looked like it had a nice little patio as well. The women who took our order was super friendly and brought our three teens some extra chips and salsa! If we are ever in the area again, you will find us here!

I just can't stop singing the praises of this fabulous little local resturant. We continue to order…read morethe lunch special fajetas. It is a very adequate serving and there is always a little left over for another meal. The mixture of chicken, onions and peppers is cooked to perfection. The sides include refried beans, rice, guacamole and lettuce. They also put in a huge bage of fresh fried chips and salsa to enjoy. This is really a great local business and we love the family that runs it.

We decided to stay in tonight for NYE. I called to place an order to pick up a cheese lovers…read morecalzone and a cheese lovers pizza. They said they were pizza (made sense since it was NYE) and I waited to pick it up. Now, I'm born and raised in the Bx, NY. Home of the best pizza in the world. The pizza here at Palermo's is good. Too thick for me; but they have a nice flavor profile in the sauce. I'm sure the pie is even better fresh out of the oven. The cheese lovers calzone tasted even better. My only issue with that, was the crust was too thin. They mixed the two up. Haha. They could have put two containers of sauce in the box with the calzone so if you order it to take home ask for the extra sauce. I look forward to going back and dining in. Eating the pie fresh out of the oven and some of their other dishes as well. Definitely recommend.

Fortunately, our grandson had a soccer game in LaGrange and that put us right where we needed to be. First impression? Waite staff was wearing white shirts and black slacks. This ain't Fazoli's. Our waiter, Robert, took our drink order and brought us freshly backed cheese bread served with a side of marinara. The bread was excellent (almost too good) and the marinara was full flavored without the heavy sweetness so many sauces rely on. My wife ordered cheese ravioli and I went with an Italian meatball calzone. Both dishes were beautifully plated. The Stromboli was almost intimidating, so I immediately split it in two knowing half was heading home. My wife couldn't finish her serving of ravioli. The ravioli was well filled and the sauce was outstanding. My Stromboli was heavy on the melted cheese to the point it was difficult to find the meatballs. But what really stood out,aside from flavor and sauce (on the side) was the dough. Light, just the right amount of crisp without reminding you of a burnt pizza crust. Service was outstanding. Robert was attentive without being obtrusive. Pricing is reasonable, with a nice mix of prices for any budget. Palermo's is upscale dining at modest prices and well worth a visit.
