On a recent Saturday, we had friends visiting from Huntsville, and--like always--a tour of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail was part of the plan. After leaving yet another distillery, the ladies in our group wanted to head to Georgetown for some shopping. But before the shopping could begin, we needed lunch. We had stopped at Fava's a few weeks earlier with another group of friends for breakfast, and it was excellent. With that great experience in mind, we decided to try Fava's again, this time for lunch. The décor is classic Old Town Kentucky--exactly the kind of place that brings back childhood memories of small-town restaurants. Charming, comfortable, and familiar. We seated ourselves and looked over the menu. I went with the chili cheese hot dog with fries. My wife and one of our friends chose the open-faced Reuben, and the last member of our group ordered the club sandwich. Every dish was excellent. The club sandwich was so large it required a to-go box. Before leaving, everyone except me ordered pie to go-- Fava's pies are legendary, at least to my wife and me. I skipped dessert this time and immediately regretted missing their ice cream options. We dropped the pies off in the car (it was cold enough outside to keep them safe), and then the ladies headed off to explore the shops of Georgetown. And I cannot leave out the wait staff, very attentive and friendly . This was my second visit to Fava's, and both times have been outstanding. I'm already looking forward to our next "shopping trip" to Georgetown so I can enjoy their food again--and this time, I won't miss out on the ice cream. read more

Love the quaint decor of this diner. The feel like at grandmas house atmosphere. Walk in and be seated wherever you like. You pass the cases of yummy pies, cookies and various desserts to get to your table. Immediately greeted with a smile by staff. Place was busy but staff very attentive. I had the special - grilled chicken with bacon and melted blue cheese on brioche bun. It was so delicious. I had the house fries to pair with it. It was move out for GT. My college student had a big appetite. Hefty half pound double patty burger. It was huge! 10/10 recommend this cute place. Food was amazing. We didn't try the desserts but they have to be great. So many people come in for take out for piece of pie. If you're needing a place in GT for lunch this is a must go. read more

I put in my carryout order 30 minutes ahead and yet both hot browns that I picked up had raw bacon on them. I mean 100% raw. This was on Saturday May 16. The butterscotch pie did not even taste homemade and I don't know if it was supposed to be meringue on top but it was a muddled mess of liquid topping absolutely will not ever go back read more

Excellent Rueben and maybe the best cole slaw I've ever had! So delicious. Nice, cozy atmosphere in there, too. I was too full to try their pie, and it was too hot for me to get one to-go, but it looked amazing! No major complaints, but when we arrived, someone just yelled from kinda far back for us to seat ourselves and then the available tables didn't look like they'd been cleaned. read more

Stopped in this restaurant for lunch today. It was okay but nothing great and disappointed in the service. Order 3 cheeseburgers and only 2 had cheese on them. Asked for condiments and the waitress assured they were added but NO! Milkshake was okay but again nothing to go here for. It was expensive and bad service. It looks good but I won't go out of may way to return. read more

Always love coming to Favas! It's a great hometown place and we've always bed. Warmly greeted and very nicely taken care of! Today was no exception! We stopped in for an early brekkie and Emily too excellent care of us. The coffee was always there, fresh, and hot. Zoey got the fried egg sandwich with sausage and hash browns (her fave potato type) and the egg was perfect cooked and served on a toasted croissant. You know how when you get the egg and it's hot just a little if that goo left? That's how this was done. It looked amazing and Zoey seemed thrilled. I got the breakfast burrito and it can with all kinds of goodness inside. Veggies,egg and cheese along with BOTH sausage and bacon! Whoa! And the tortilla was golden crisp. Served with home fries, it was perfect. Just love coming here. Thanks to Emily and the whole team for another great experience! read more

What an amazing little diner, the best fried pickles I've ever had in that ranch. I could drink by the gallon, so well balanced and just taste of depth the fried pickles and fried green tomatoes were fried lightly. They weren't stopping in grease and they had just enough flavor just send them over the top. The sink was a little under season to say the least there was hardly any flavor on it but the hashbrowns southern potatoes in French toast and eggs were all cooked to perfection. I think they need to use a thicker French toast just to add a little more depth to their dishes. The gravy is outstanding. It had good flavor very wholesome vibes seating with a little crunch, but it goes with the vibes. Our waitress was really busy so I'm not gonna complain about the lack of service cause it was slammed and Wright police slow, but our waitress were still very nice and got our order in as soon as she could we would love to come back here read more

Service was a amazing. Even the owner was coming around table to table to check to make sure there were no issues. Our waitress was super friendly and our food definitely hit the spot.. but let me say even if you're not terribly hungry and need a snack stop in for a slice of their chocolate pie. It is to die for. read more

This is a nice little diner on main street in the heart of town. We went in and were seated immediately. It was a crowded diner because it was lunchtime on a Saturday. We've never been here before and we like little places like this. The ambience is nice on the inside. They have TVs and a bar and local memorabilia. The food that we got was good. I got a chicken fried steak mashed taters wife got BLT and chips both for $10 so good price the owner was super nice. He walked over and gave us free pie because we had to wait a little longer than usual so he was very nice overall I do recommend it and I would go back. read more

Service was good, food was good. I would return to this establishment. 4 stars because there is always room for improvement.

The food was excellent and so was the service. One of the best breakfasts in Georgetown!

I love omelets and in all honesty , I had one of best omelets in a long time . Favas 1910 diner is a small and cozy diner where people are served large amounts of food at reasonable prices. The wait staff is professional, pleasant and doesn't rush the customers. When you are in Georgetown Ky., make sure your breakfast served here. Oh yeah, get a slice of pie! read more

*Vegetarian Review* We were seated instantly on a Monday morning. I ordered the veggie omelet and potatoes. The service was wonderful and attentive but the food was just bland. The potatoes were not seasoned and the omelet was crowded with barely cooked veggies that were added on the fold so the eggs did not soak up any flavors. You will need ketchup and salsa if you order this. read more

Fava's is one of my favorite restaurants to go when I visit Georgetown. It's right in the middle of downtown so it is not hard to miss. I feel like I am at a 50's diner because of all the vintage decorations. The food also reminds me of a 50's diner because they serve the typical diner food. The food is great. I've tried many things off their menu and have no complaints. They have some of the best milkshakes. I have to have one every time I visit. The service is usually pretty quick and the food is fairly cheap for how much you get. read more

What an enjoyable dinner! Food was great and prices can't be beat. I'd been craving a Hot Brown, and wasn't disappointed. Brown beans were definitely homemade and perfectly seasoned. Megan, our server, was so sweet and attentive. Papa Dean, the owner, personally checked in to make sure all was good. The homemade desserts were the perfect ending. Don't overlook this local restaurant in Georgetown. read more

Great stop in for a bite before heading home. It is located in the small downtown area of Georgetown and you can tell it is popular with the locals! We found a seat and I ordered the breakfast burrito and hubby ordered the Denver omelet. Very reasonable portions and the service was great.

Fava's Restaurant - Hamburger, French fries, and a side of ranch (made in house) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Georgetown, Kentucky

A short drive up the interstate took Fat Man Reviews to Fava's Restaurant in Georgetown, KY. Fava's Restaurant is a family owned restaurant that has been around since 1910. They serve southern plates and desserts. We started with the Frickles. The pickles were hamburger chip cut, they were lightly breaded and fried to an amazing crunch. They were served with homemade ranch, which was some of the best that I have ever had. I also tried the Chili. It was made with hamburger, beans, onions, tomatoes and juice. It was a thick and hearty dish but was not spicy at all. Furthermore, it was a good stick to your rib's chili, I really enjoyed it. My fiancé tried the Soup & 1/2 Sandwich, which came as a whole sandwich. She had the special of the day, Vegetable Beef and upgraded to a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was on white(wheat, Texas toast, Rye and a hoagie is an option), came with cheddar and Swiss. It was grilled to perfection and the cheese was melted and gooey. The soup was made with vegetables out of a can and hamburger, not a roast as I have typically seen. Again this was a hearty, thick dish that had been cooked all day and the flavors had married together. It reminded me more of a burgoo than a soup, but it was delicious. I tried the Award Winning Catfish, with homemade tartar sauce, hush puppies and fries. The fries were cooked to a golden crunchiness, the cornmeal hush puppies were as well. The catfish was served in nuggets, cornmeal breaded and fried to perfection. The fish was moist and flaky, and the creamy slightly sweet tartar sauce was great as well. I can see how it is award-winning. Fava's Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. As well as soups, sandwiches, burgers and salads. They also serve beer and wine The place is small, so there may be a wait, and the wait staff is excellent. Fava's Restaurant is Fat Man Approved and Recommend. read more

Very cute diner decor, counter seating along w/ booths & tables. Ice Cream & Shakes. Great menu. Bacon, Eggs & Cheese Croissant & the Ham & Eggs were exactly what we needed to start the morning. Croissant was flaky & fresh. Coffee always refilled & great service. Filling portions & will be back to try the lunch menu also. Popular place that's been around since 1910, very busy w/ locals. Excellent area w/ lots of shops to walk it off. Parking on the street was easy to find as well. read more

We went here for breakfast, food is hype up. Not really good, bland. I have the worst hot chocolate, very stale, I can taste a tap water like from it and it seems like a Hershey syrup that was mix in the hot water very not worth it. Service is ok, and ambiance is uniquely vintage but they can do better. read more

We moved to Georgetown six months ago from New Jersey and Favas has become our go to breakfast place. Ambiance is reminiscent of an old fashioned east coast diner. The food is good and cooked to order. The service is very friendly. The breakfast menu is really good (my family love the burrito). They also have homemade pies that look wonderful. Give it a try. We really like it read more
