    Was in town for the weekend and stopped in to eat on Saturday night…read more The manager Steve Ausmus greeted us as we are former 'Pinevillians' who were now visiting. Very nice guy, and his staff follows his lead. Waitresses were sweet as the pecan pie and the food was great. Love that Middlesboro has this kind of place. 5-stars!

    First time couple weeks ago…read more Stopped after golf with 2 friends on a Saturday about 5 pm. Busy with 45 min wait but were told we could wait in the separate bar with first come basis seating. That's what we did and got seated and drinks ordered and dinner menus promptly, Bar /wait staff was very good for a busy time. Live music and crowd in the bar in a living room type atmosphere too loud for an intimate dinner more a sing along fun time place, separate from the main more quiet dining area. Got fried mushrooms appetizer and filet mignon as entree. The filet was high quality very tender perfectly prepared and had a wood grilled flavor. Also got a fresh garden salad and giant baked potato ...excellent well worth the $48 price. Others had a huge burger and cheese steak with fries. Both also very good. Too stuffed for desert but it looked yummy. Was impressed with bar drinks, beer and wine selections. Best steak I've had in this area from Lexington Ky to Knoxville TN. On par with nineteen 19 in Cumberland gap as nicest restaurant in the local area. I'll be back.

It was about 3:00 and the restaurant was on a 45 minute wait. We decided to sit at the bar and have an appetizer while we waited for our table. They were unusually busy because of college graduations. We had a shrimp appetizer which was recommended by the bartender. It was delicious! It had the right amount of spice for us. Our table was ready right as we finished our appetizer. The hostess was very polite and asked us if we were celebrating anything special.. We were promptly greeted by our server Elisabeth who was wonderful. She told us the specials and inquired if it was our first visit. We ordered the espresso rubbed ribeye w/ a baked potato & Caesar salad. We decided to share a steak and ordered an extra wedge salad. Everything was delicious. The steak was a perfect medium. The butter that is served with the bread is heavenly. I was thrilled with my Caesar salad that had anchovies on top. My wedge salad was amazing. This was one of the best steaks we have ever had. We would highly recommend the restaurant for lunch or dinner. 5 ask for Elisabeth if you want a wonderful dining experience!

    Stopped in while road-tripping and looking for a nice dinner after spending way too many hours in…read morethe car. The food and atmosphere were both great, but honestly the highlight of the meal was our server, Brayden. He was just the absolute definition of a nice young man. Not the super-polished, script-perfect kind of server who makes you feel like you're watching someone who's done the same routine a thousand times, but someone who was genuinely warm, kind, and earnest. Every interaction felt sincere. When my iced tea got low, he'd quietly bring me a fresh one before I had to ask, and he looked almost apologetic that it had gotten low at all. He had this way of making it feel like he was personally hosting us and genuinely wanted us to be comfortable. There was a little bit of endearing newness, too. Instead of silently making things happen, he'd stop by to let us know our appetizer would be out before the steaks, just because he wanted to keep us informed. It wasn't inexperience so much as someone who really cared about doing a good job. He was incredibly sweet, attentive, and authentic, and that kind of service is memorable. 11/10 for Brayden--we'd happily ask to sit in his section again. The food was very enjoyable, we had: -the shrimp cocktail appetizer (excellent bite to the cocktail sauce) -salads (weirdly great, just a normal house salad but one of the better ones I've had) -ribeyes with sides (steaks were correctly medium rare, I would have loved having a smaller ribeye on the menu as well as the existing 14oz, I ordered mine with the horseradish crust which was tasty, though without the crust the underlying steak itsself was a touch under seasoned, the creamed spinach was great and the baked potato was flawless) -bread was fresh and pleasant, though the slight sweetness is not something I especially love, but that's just a style thing -chocolate mousse cake was both massive and absurdly, ridiculously good Total before tip was $125, well worth it, and I'm only sad they haven't expanded to Texas yet.

    It was just ok. Prime rib lacked flavor. The creamed horse radish helped it, but it was kinda like…read moreboiled beef. Next time I will try the rib eye. Server was excellent, atmosphere was excellent And my wife's chicken was good. Clean restrooms with paper towels.
