The Belgian-style beers are top-tier, and the BBQ pork nachos and pretzels are the perfect post-adventure snacks. We spent hours here playing cards and dice in such a relaxed atmosphere. Huge shoutout to Bruce and Connie--they provided amazing service and made us feel right at home. A must-visit!

The Cabbage Shed is a must visit!…read more I've been to Frankfort a few times but I was introduced to The Cabbage Shed during this recent visit. I was surprised it took so long to learn about this place! I visited during the warmer months so the outdoor patio was open. They have a DJ on the patio that allows you to request a song via submitting a song from the available vinyls. It was fun to look through the vinyls he had available and playing throwback songs. The Cabbage Shed is extremely popular so I highly recommend making a reservation, if possible. The outdoor sitting goes fast but they have ample indoor tables. My group was able to at least sit next to a window even though we were inside. The view on the patio is breathtaking! Even if you cannot sit outside, they'll let you step out to take a photo from the second floor if it's not too busy inside. I'm not sure if it's a requirement but every place in this area pour heavy handed. No complaints! I ordered the baked penne with sausage and it was unbelievable. I ordered this dish months ago and I still mention it anytime I reflect on my trip. The dish was flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh. This was a relief because that's not the case for a lot of places nearby. I was easily able to get a a second meal out of my order. If I'm able to get at minimum two meals from my order it's always worth the price. I will definitely visit The Cabbage Shed during my future visits.

Let's be honest, you aren't going to the Villa Marine Bar for high-end crafted cocktails and…read moremichelin star food. Villa Marine Bar is the place you visit if you want cheap drinks and a beautiful view! My husband and I visited two nights in a row and didn't leave disappointed. They had a drink special for a pomegranate margarita and it was delicious! I also tried the blackberry margarita and no complaints. I've never had a drink from the Villa Marine Bar and questioned if there was alcohol in it because you test it instantly haha. The staff at the Villa Marine Bar are friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was new to waitressing (she told it was her first shift) and it was amazing seeing how patient everyone was with her. She was awesome and even remembered my group the next day when we visited. I was able to try the popcorn chicken during my first visit. It was okay but as I mentioned earlier, you go to the Villa Marine Bar for the drinks. Most of the people I observed were there for the drinks. The view of the marina was lovely. I visited right before the sun started setting so it was nice to see the color change of the sky.

Unfortunately it's under new ownership now and they've ruined the place. The lighting is now harsh, the food quality just isn't there anymore and the service is rushed.

The service was okay, not the best we've had, but it could have been a personality issue. The house salad with steak added on was crisp and refreshing, but TINY. Smaller than any house salad I've had in a long time. The clam chowder was worth the drive, however. My daughter ordered a kids meal and said it was "super good." Definitely worth a try when you're in town!

What. Anyway, we decided on the taproom instead. We immediately found a table, purchased some tacos from the food truck, and had some beers. The beers were most unimpressive. The first was okay, the others were terrible. The s/o said he's never given that low of ratings on Untapped. Good service. Neat taproom. Good social distancing practices. Good outdoor area.

It has a great outdoor space at their very nice facility. A cool color-coded card system works to order drinks. We were skeptical about food from a food truck but the food was great! Bleu cheese burger, perch po boy, tasty chicken wrap and truffle fries (our dog got a couple). Beer was good too. Nice selection. We will definitely go back.

They've only been open since 2015 but they somehow seem like they've been around forever, and I say…read morethat as as compliment! They just fit so well into downtown Frankfort. They've got plenty of snacks and pantry staples to help stock the kitchen in your vacation rental as well as cute pottery, serving and kitchen items, etc They also have a nice selection of beer and wine and I just saw on their social that they got their packaged spirits license so now they carry spirits! So you really can get most everything you need here for a nice party. Speaking of parties, follow them on social because they often post special tasting events with food and beverage makers! It's the perfect spot for whether you're a local or just passing through town for a bit.

When you walk in you get a list of "Rules" (Be Patient, Good Food Takes Time, Etc) They were right. After 15 min we were able to place our drink order and ordered Chips and Guacamole. Chips were super thin couldn't handle the bland, unseasoned Guacamole. Tacos next. Comical. I had the El Pastor and something else unmemorable. 3" tortillas with about a tablespoon of meat each. Average. Waitress was unpersonal and Slow. If you're part of the Rich Lake People and you want some nice drinks with tiny tacos this is right up your alley. If your some poor Father with a hungry family this is probably not your kind of place. Forgettable.

I like how many drink options they have and I went for the frozen strawberry margarita which was really delicious. I ended up getting 2 of these throughout the course of my meal. My friend also really liked her prickly pear margarita. For my meal I got the enchilada gigante and when the plate came out it looked right but after my first bite I realized it wasn't what I ordered. Inside was the ingredients of the Cubano chimichanga but it was still dressed as the enchilada. I can confidently say that pickles and enchilada sauce are not a good combination lol. I sent my order back which is the first time I've ever had to do that in my life and I was kinda embarrassed about it. The waitress was super apologetic. When I got the right meal back, it had 2 portions of rice and no lettuce and sour cream toppings which was not a big deal but just interesting that it got screwed up twice. The food was average. It was kind of bland. I do think the chips and salsa were tasty though! When the waitress brought our bills, only 1 of my drinks and my meal was on it. I thought she was comping me a drink for messing up the order but after handing over my card to pay she came back and realized she gave my actual bill to a different table. Overall just kind of a mess and unorganized.
