    Yummy yummy pizza, very cool location on the riverfront. Server was good. Located in a cool old jailhouse that's very fun to explore for adults and kids alike.

    Jailhouse pizza the verdict is in! Tour the jail while your pizza is cooking. Authentic jail cells with real history. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the Ohio river. The pizza came out hot and delicious! Generous toppings. There were six of us so we thought me might need two large pizzas. We ordered an eighteen inch deluxe and a 14 inch prisoners last request. We had to get two boxes to take home the leftovers. They were very filling. If you go before the end of the year be sure to drive through the park below the restaurant, the animated holiday displays are amazing and beautiful. Each display was provided by a local business or family.

    This place. Oh man. We have eaten here as a large family unit thee times...twice pre-covid and now once post. SO STINKIN' GREAT! Their crust?! My Texan babies took a bite of crust (JUST the crust!) and said "mmmmm, it's almost like kolache dough!" (If you know, you know; if you don't, do yourself a favor and learn!). Their "Electric Chair!!!" is insane: "WARNING EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!" Is on the menu. No I didn't, but two of our party did (again!!!) and they loved when they ATE it... y'know what I'm saying? They didn't love it later. ...then again OOPS! they did it again! Look...if you are anywhere near Brandenberg, KY...and no I won't ask why you're in Brandberg but I am pretty curious...do everyone a favor and have a Jailhouse Pizza experience. Oh! AND you could eat in a jail cell if that's your jammy jam.

    Historic actual jailhouse turned popular pizza joint located on the beautiful riverfront in Brandenburg Kentucky. Really cool and fun place. You have a main level that has a large dining room with lots of cool nostalgic decor and callbacks to the original Jailhouse days. Upstairs they have the old original jail cells (with dining options inside them) and even the shaft where they use to hang people on executions. Lots of legends and historic tid bits at this jailhouse. It is allegedly haunted. Possibly by an old inmate they have named "Bigsby". Evidently unexplainable things and sounds are heard when upstairs dining or touring in the old hail cells. Im skeptical on things like that. However, whenever someone flushes a toilet the lights in the men's restroom start to flicker. So I'm not sure that's paranormal activity as much as it is probably old wiring ran against old plumbing. Either that or Bigsby wanted me to hurry up. Haha. I believe one of the workers stated that the prison has jailed famous people Such as outlaw Jessie James and country music legend hank Williams Sr. Not sure how accurate that is. But pretty cool if so. Outside of the cool building, concept and fun stories this place actually has really good pizza. We Went with my family of 6 and a group of family friends. We started with two apps. Garlic knots and cheese bread. Both really good. Garlic knots were nice and fresh and fluffy tasting. The cheese bread was great. Had very good cheese flavor to it. Top notch apps. For the main course we got two large pizzas. One half cheese and one half veggie and a whole cheese. We also got a small white flag pizza which is a cheese and veggie pizza made with ricotta cheese. The cheese pizza was great. Massive slices, nice thickness with great tasting dough, flavorful cheesiness and a nice tasting sauce. Very good pizza slice. My family and friends tried the veggie and white flag pizzas. They liked the veggie but weren't too big on the white flag pizza. Overall very fun and cool place that is centrally located in a nice convenient area of Brandenburg. From the parking lot you are few steps away from riverfront park and the beginning of the wonderful buttermilk falls. Also you can walk across the street and see the much discussed and debated about confederate monument. Pizza and apps were both great. Brandenburg is a good hour drive from my home in Louisville but we had a good time spending a day here and the pizza and atmosphere here makes it a no brainer for us to dine here again. Assuming Bigsby or something supernatural doesn't spook us away eventually.

    Was a great little spot for an afternoon date! The service was great, waitress was nice and the bathrooms were clean!! What more could you ask for?

    My buddy took me here during a work trip to Kentucky. Really awesome place, that once was a jailhouse in fact, which is cool, because I love historical stuff. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were fair. Food was good. Location is a bit off the beaten path, but it's right along the river and would be awesome for a summer evening type visit.
