    What an amazing first visit while staying nearby at the Sessions Hotel! We're so glad we took the…read morerecommendation because this place was incredible. We kicked things off with chips and queso, then ordered the Smoked Turkey salad and the brisket sandwich with tots and wow! Every bite was phenomenal. The brisket sandwich with the jam was an unreal combo, and the salad was packed with flavor (and plenty of meat). The restaurant itself is adorable, with tons of indoor seating, a bar, super cute outdoor space, and great TVs. The staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating, which made the experience even better. Bonus: you can make reservations ahead of time on Resy. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so there's always a reason to stop by. Can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu next time we're in town!

    This restaurant was attached to my hotel. The drinks are on point. They have a dog friendly patio…read moreso we went here for dinner. The June Carter is a vibrant delightful drink. Super friendly staff. Fast fresh service. I ordered the catfish, grits, and slaw. I feel like they need a stronger sauce option for tarter or hot sauce the bbq sauce options didn't do it for me. The catfish was lightly breaded and not too heavy. I did snag a bite of the brisket and it was excellent. Definitely check it out if you are in the area.

    While on a recent business trip to rural Kentucky, we discovered Brickhouse and ended up eating…read morehere twice. On the first occasion, we were a group of 9 and we ordered appetizers (including the beer cheese with pretzel bots which was super tasty!!) salads and mains. Everyone really enjoyed their meals along with our amazing server. Food quality was very good, like elevated bar food/gastro pub cuisine, with nice touches, such as the goat cheese salad with fried rounds of creamy goat cheese on a generous bed of fresh greens, served with cranberries and slivered almonds and a creamy raspberry dressing. One thing I was a little disappointed with was the brusselsprouts salad. This was recommended by friends and touted as a 'house favorite'. But the brusselsprouts were not fresh, and were overcooked - likely they were canned or frozen then cooked with the bacon and blue cheese. The bacon and blue cheese helped the overall flavor, but as someone who LOVES both the flavor and texture of fresh brusselsprouts fried/ caramelized, I had expected something different. On the second occasion, we ordered lunch to go for 12 people, mostly salads plus desserts. We had been advised to order between 10 am and 11 am the day we wanted take out, which we did, but apparently, so did a bunch of other large groups....so our order which was to be picked up at 11:30 am wasn't ready til 12:40 pm. Even so, food did not disappoint, and everything was nicely seasoned, cooked well and fresh. A couple more things of note: -- Several people ordered the sweet potato fries at dinner and for lunch, and everyone raved at how special they were, especially with the sugary/buttery dipping sauce. I am a little sad I missed out on them! -- During dinner, we were too full for dessert but decided to get it with lunch; I had the chocolate lava cake which was totally decadent; others ordered the lemon berry cake and salted caramel cheesecake - everyone raved the desserts were fantastic! Overall, when dining in, the decor of this historic-house-turned-restaurant is eclectic and inviting. The bar atmosphere, friendly and well versed staff, and great menu beckon you back for future meals. Definitely a special spot in Prestonsburg! And don't forget to get dessert!
