Been here 4 times. Twice, servers were clearly having a bad day, openly complaining about co-workers. Most recent time, kitchen was obviously short staffed as it took 45 minutes to get breakfast for two after a 20 minute wait to be seated. I want to support locally owned and will over look bad service most of the time but I see a negative trend that makes me reluctant to go a 5th time. read more

Love the liver & onions! Lots of other down home foods If you're tired of the Sports Bar & Wing joint, this place is great! read more

Better known for it's ambience than food, I like going to the log cabin when I'm in the mood for something a little rustic. It's a throw-back to a simpler time, and maybe the menu reflects that. I do love the specials and the slaw. The stone staircase and fireplace are really neat and sitting next to them makes you feel like you're a part of history or a character in Tom Sawyer. This is Americana at its best. read more

It's a typical greasy spoon. Dark, dingy, tightly packed with tables. The only really good thing I had was the biscuits. I ordered the steak and eggs with hash browns. You can get a better steak at Waffle House. It was tough and paper thin with no flavor. The over medium eggs were under done and the hash browns were mediocre. We definitely won't be going back and it's only a few minutes from where we live. read more

If you are a local stop going anywhere else to breakfast. The location is you are prime reason for wanting to come here. The prices are fair the food is good. They have your typical breakfast and a relatively typical menu as well. While nothing wows me this place is reliable, will make you good food, and is simply a good option. read more

I've been coming to the Log Cabin Inn (Or LCI) for all my life, my family loved coming to this quaint old cabin on the side of Madison in Independence. And why not. The food is comfort food, and is well prepared. Think old school diner type food with some southern charm (Amazing fried chicken, frog legs, catfish!) The service is always friendly and the price is right. I'll continue to visit this great little gem. read more

Went on a Saturday morning and the service was incredibly slow. The food tasted good but most of our parties meals 7 people had something on the plate that was cold. They also bought our parties food out in two shifts ten minutes apart. The servers were nice. There was no signage around masking and most people were not. With the small rooms, close tables, and poor air flow I was concerned. I would go back if other people chose to go here but won't pick it on my own. read more

Historical log cabin that is a delight to explore with original log cabin features such as thick doors, original woodwork, and at least one huge fireplace. Friendly staff and great service. Tried the evening special, chicken and dumplings which was served in a large bowl with side orders. read more

We got the fried chicken and fish and chips. Chicken was okay I would not order it again. Mashed potatoes and gravy were okay would not order again. Green beers were very tasty! The cod was good! The coleslaw was fantastic! read more

Went here for dinner. It's cozy and a small town kind of feel. Lots of deep fried food. I wouldn't go in here expecting anything other than getting substance in your belly. Out of everything we ordered, I'd probably recommend people come here for the frog legs and fried green tomatoes appetizers, but that's about it. I don't want to dog on the place or dis it. They are hard working and do care about what they're doing. I wouldn't say eat here and Im not gonna say don't eat here. If you do decide to eat here, go in with a blank canvas; no expectations. Just food. "It is what it is" is pretty much how I'll sum it up! read more

Food is awesome! Ribs are the best. Great place for breakfast. Burgers and sandwiches are really good.

One of the worst experiences in my adult life. Took my daughter and 2 year old grandson here based upon the reviews. We waited 42 minutes after ordering to see any sign of food. No one cared despite a 2 year old becoming fussy. We finally got some drinks but despite many attempts we couldn't get a single refill. The food was mediocre but the service was amazingly poor. Stopping at Taco Bell for something to take home to eat now. read more

I took my Mom to the Log Cabin for Mother's Day. This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. The menu has everything from breakfast items to steaks, ribs, fried chicken and even frog legs (ribbit). The wait staff was great and they even gave my mom a rose! I'm glad we came here! read more

Great, diverse menu. Lots of options for everyone. The restaurant is cozy and has friendly staff. The restaurant is located in a literal log cabin. This place is one of the few restaurants in the northern Kentucky area where you can order the Cincinnati breakfast staple Goetta (during hours breakfast is being served). Besides great breakfast there's burgers, ribs, fish, frog legs, great salads and daily specials! If you want some good home cooked food, go to the log cabin. read more

I came in with my boyfriend this morning to have brunch. I'd drove by this place a few times & he told me I should try it out as he has been with his family before... honestly I wasn't impressed. We came in and there were only 3 tables sat within the whole restaurant & 2 servers. The woman standing at the front register was so rude to us. She also turned out to be our server, joy to us. My boyfriend tried to explain he didn't want the biscuits and gravy with the meal & she said that's the way it comes. He didn't eat it. She asked if we wanted a box to take it home in and when he sad no she snatched it off the table, huffed and rolled her eyes... I had never been there so I needed a minute to look over the menu and she came back 3 times within a minute to try to take our order, surprise I still didn't know ! She asked us what we wanted to drink as we were walking to the table ... I haven't even sat down yet or looked at your menu... or set foot in this restaurant before. It's a cute restaurant but dear god our server ruined it for us. We left & got into the car & immediately looked at each other to say "was it just me or was our server really rude?" I know food service is tough, I've been there. I've worked customer service for many years, this is why I still left a decent tip, maybe she was having an off day BUT this is not how you get people to come back. Overall the food was decent. Greasy, down home cooking. I would come back, but would definitely want to see new wait staff as everyone was huffing and puffing today, something must have been in the air. read more

I've been here 3 times now: Once at lunch, had a BLT. Once just before closing, had a grilledchicken sandwich. This time I had a hamburger at lunch. The time we came in before closing the chicken sandwich was over cooked to death. I told the server and she took it off the bill. The other two times the food was OUTSTANDING. read more

I am literally shocked by any good review this place gets. The food had no flavor, my boyfriend and I couldn't even eat our respective dishes and we felt horrible about it because our server was so kind. She seemed to be the only one working so service was slow, waited at the door for far too long for such a disappointing "meal". A caveat; I'm from New Orleans and my boyfriend is a chef. We have expectations...they were not met. read more

4/10/24 Arrived at the log cabin restaurant at 1:30 PM there was a large party in one of the side rooms .myself, and my sister were seated in another side room With two large parties of eight or more women who were finished eating And talking . They were extremely loud. We ordered our drinks promptly , After 15 minutes, no drinks finally another waitress come over and try to take our drink order again we told her the other girl had taken our order. She talked with her and finally bought her drinks and took our food order (One salad and one BLT) We did not have any straws. We waited another 10 minutes before we could see anyone to get us two straws by now. It is like Five minutes after two. I told the waitress Without being rude, it was the worst service I had ever had and I usually eat here once a week, She I then proceeded to get The lead waitress. The lead waitress was very aggressive and told me that I would just have to wait my turn and this was not fast food. At this point, we still did not have any food.. I told her that I get it, but my order was not that complicated and and I felt the service was bad.. She asked me if I would like to speak to the owner and I said yes. By then my sister had walked out and I waited for 10 more minutes for the owner to speak with me. He never showed up so I walked out also. Maybe this was just a bad day for log cabin restaurant, but for me, I will not return.. read more

Took my dog with me to meet my folks at Log Cabin. None of us had ever been there before but decided to try it since they have a dog-friendly patio and my mom and dad wanted to see their granddoggo :-) Our waitress, Brandy, was as nice and friendly as could be towards us and Millie dog. We heard that the ribs were excellent, so we ordered them with a variety of sides as well as deep-fried mushrooms. All the food was AMAZING! That was dinner last night and I wish I was able to go back today!!! Definitely will be going there again very soon!!! read more

Whenever we visit family from the west coast this is where they always take us--a tried and true down home country style restaurant that makes you feel like home with classic comfort food to boot. I had my first try at the humble magnificence that is "Goetta" there and their chicken & dumplings special is delightful. They treat you like family-- it is not fancy but welcoming, yummy and warm. Plus the coffee is excellent and the pours keep on coming. Family friendly too! read more

My sister and I stopped in Sunday morning around 10:30, was surprised how busy they were at that time but the wait wasn't too long, probably about 15 minutes. Service was great, food didn't take too long considering how busy they were and everything was hot, fresh and you can tell it is all made in house! We started off with fried green tomatoes appetizer, wow, they were amazing! Hard to find places that offer those so we was very excited about that. I got the ribeye and eggs breakfast with sliced potatoes, steak came exactly as I ordered it (a perfect medium) and was seasoned just right. I am so excited to have found this place, we plan on taking our husbands out to eat there tonight. Excited to try their fried oysters!!! read more

Went for dinner and the ribs were everything!! Fall off the bone good. Our steak was a tad bit over cooked but we don't mind and the fried pickle spears are legit best i've had. Waitresses and hosts are very friendly and kind. Fast service and great food. Very rustic feel! Wish i could've gotten breakfast - will be going again for the pancakes soon! read more

So we did come back and I have to update my review. We had Belinda as our server today and she took great care of us. Got the cabin special again, which is a good deal - two eggs, bacon, sausage patty, Home Fries, biscuit and generous cup of gravy. Food was good and service was excellent. read more

I had breakfast and it was outstanding. The sliced potatoes and onions were incredible with the eggs and ham. Very good service and kept my coffee full at all times. read more

Good food and more importantly a staff that is friendly and glad you've chosen to eat at their restaurant. We find ourselves there at breakfast but have seen burgers being served at 10 AM which is awesome if you have an early hankering for lunch! Price is amazing too, $25 for two for a filling breakfast. Highly recommend. read more

This place is an institution. Wonderful home cooking, friendly service. Even our out-of-town family loves the place

Home cooking away from home. It took a little effort to find this place but after 2 attempts and almost giving up, i finally found it & wondered how i kept missing it. it is in fact a log cabin, actually more like the basement of a log cabin, with it's darkly rustic features such a low door frames and exposed timbers and a modest bar to sit & enjoy a beer. the food was homey & comforting with a selection as varied & fresh; from burgers and chili to grilled liver & onions and frog legs. the service was polite and timely, the prices & portions were okay & parking good. i would not make this place a regular hangout but for an occasionally change in paste, it has it's charm and i'm interested in trying them them frog legs but i'm afraid they may make me jumpy :) read more

We actually ate here for thanksgiving. You know all the women of the family were tired of cooking. It was 12.99 a piece there was 6 of us. For what was suppose to be a buffet. The food was cold because they didn't have the burners on. So many people had to have their food warmed up by microwave. I'm still shocked about the place this was the kind of food you ate in school when it was close to thanksgiving. I'm not saying like, it was. The amount of stuff was limited they didn't even have baked beans. Rolls but no butter. The cranberry was straight out of a can It was still can shaped they didn't even bother forming it up. How lazy. I'm not sure what compelled the family to this place but it has to be one of the worst places I have ever eatten at a Chinese buffet would have been a better choice. I'm not sure how this place is normally but it was horrible and total thanksgiving disaster. read more

Decided to try this place this evening for dinner. Staff was super friendly and service was good. I had chicken, nothing special. It was a little tough, but ok. Hubs had cod and he said it was good. This place won't be on the must eat list, but I'd go again if I was in the area and hungry. read more

Went for dinner on a Friday evening around 7. Took a while to get seated, and menu said they serve breakfast all day which apparently on Fri-Sat is definitely not true. So after another few minutes of waiting we finally order our food. Server was good at getting refills promptly, but appetizers we ordered were sub-par. Not much flavor and a little too greasy. Entrees came out and they were just ok. Fish was over-cooked and the BBQ sauce on my ribs was not very good. Probably won't be back. Food just didn't taste that great. Our server was pretty good although it did take a while for us to be seated and then for her to come to our table. Should have went to Cracker Barrel! read more

Best wings we've ever had! They also make their own BBQ sauce which was delicious. However, they lost a 5 star rating because water was dripping on us from above. There was somebody there that I believe was trying to fix it. We'll go back there again. read more

Just an absolute throwback of a restaurant. It's not sterile, brightly lit chain restaurant bullshit. It's not dark, it has ambience. It's not trendy foodie bullshit either. You can get a decent 8oz. strip steak, baked potato, and a salad for $13. I recommend the hand breaded chicken strips. The kids meal is more than enough to fill up a full grown fatass like myself. Want breakfast? Go here, you won't be sorry. This seemingly forgotten little piece of NKY restaurant history needs to be more known than it is. read more

This restaurant is tucked away on the outskirts of Covington, more towards Independence and Taylor Mill. It has a small bar and different dining areas for large groups and small groups. New management has taken over and added some interesting items to his menu, like frog legs, taste like chicken. If you are into Euchre, they have Euchre tournaments weekly. read more

So we tried this place because we have found great Jems with small local establishments. But this would not be the case here. Our server Tracey was wonderful. And our review In no way reflects her service. But atmosphere is dingy and kitchen service slow. Our food took 55 minutes to get to our table. The salad was okay, but croutons were saturated with grease and burnt. The potato skins came out burnt and way overdone. We weren't charged for them but I would have never brought those to the table. There was a party of 12 that was loud and boisterous. All there orders held up everyone who came on after them. When we finally did get our food it was cold. We asked for our steaks to be medium-well, but they came our well done, dry and chewy. We will not be back. read more
