The dinning room wasn't very full but when they seated us they took us to what used to be a patio. Now it's enclosed and there is a bar a stage and plenty of seating. My problem was the fans that were blowing made it difficult to have a conversation with my wife across the table. I told the server it was almost too noisy and was having a hard time hearing him talk. He said he'd talk louder. That didn't really fix the problem. Not real sure why we were seated in this area because the dinning room had plenty of space. We had a little trouble communicating our order because of the noise. As I stated a couple times to our server. I communicated I have trouble hearing in areas like this and he just kept talking louder. Anyway we finally got our food ordered and went for a salad in the next room. My wife even commented on the empty tables and asked my why I thought they put us in that big room. Idk? So we get our salad and it was good. Kretzers had a decent salad bar. One of the reasons we like the place. I ordered a 12oz ribeye rare with a baked potato. Wife got chicken strips with gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy. When the food arrived everything looked good and the server said some things that I have no idea what. Even the wife didn't know. I go to open the butter for my pita and it's not butter. It's an oil whip. I do not eat fake butter. It's harmful. To find out they have no butter in the place. So I tell my server of the situation and looks at me like he has no idea what to do. Turns and walks away. So I eat my steak and stare at the baked potato. I am a recent cancer survivor and have no ability to make saliva. So I needed the butter to make the potato edible. Or even gravy or something. I told the server but I don't think he heard me correctly or didn't know what to do. It was so loud with the stupid fans. So while I do recommend Kretzers and like their steaks and crab legs and salad bar. I don't recommend their new addition to dine in. And if you want real butter bring your own. I was a little disappointed with our experience this time around.

It was a special night, a group of foodie friends got together after not seeing each other for a while. It was a group of 11 and the accommodations and service couldn't have been better. Our server was extremely professional and didn't mind that it was 6 different checks. As our server was telling us the Daily Specials and the Catch of the Day, I immediately knew what I wanted. Whenever I hear, Pan Seared Sea Scallops or anything with Scallops, I'm sold. My scallops (4) were huge and the Risotto that they were served on was moist and flavorful. I also learned that they offer half bottles of wine and one of them is my favorite. I love, Quilt Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm probably going to wine hell because I paired it with my seafood instead of a white wine. Also, I want to give a shout out for their, Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. I've been known to stop by and have them and a Martini and call it a meal. When: February 19, 2026 Why: Meeting up with friends

We walked in and grabbed a seat in the bar area. The bartender was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We started with a round of drinks and the Toasted Raviolis. My friend was impressed with them! For dinner, I ordered the Steak Modiga with a loaded baked potato. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the modiga sauce was delicious with all the provel, prosciutto, and mushrooms that covered the steak evenly. The loaded baked potato was hot and filled with all the goods including cheese and bacon. My friend got the ribeye with the loaded baked potato, and it was just right for him. I decided to end the evening with another Tito's and lemonade instead of dessert. Overall, we had a wonderful time at Carnivore. It's a fantastic local spot on The Hill that I'll definitely be returning to again and again! If you're looking for a place to host a small event, Carnivore has a great spot upstairs called The D'Amici Room. It can hold up to 100 people and was amazing to work with for a Buffalo Trace event in October 2025.

The atmosphere is one of my favorite things about Popeye's, it's a unique combination of "come as you are" casual while still feeling upscale enough for a nice dinner or special occasion.

One of my personal favorites is the prime rib, and they always deliver! Great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and a true small-town hidden gem.

The food ranged from very good ( fried chicken) too awful (cold hash browns) and everything else was somewhere in the middle. The chicken alone pretty much made it worthwhile. A thinly sliced brisket was also quite good. Evidently the main crowd comes before noon on Mother's Day and we had reservations at 1 PM. The room is nearly empty and unfortunately, the buffet was pretty worked over. We will probably come again because we like not having to wait in a long line to eat on that special day. The room was nothing fancy and the humidity was very high because you're eating near the pool. I recommend that you try it but keep your expectations realistic.
