    Eggs, bacon, hash browns and biscuit and gravy for an inexpensive breakfast.
    Joe B.

    It was a busy place on the 250th anniversary of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. I doubt the anniversary was not the only reason people come here. Reasonable prices, good down home cooking, and friendly service with southern hospitality keeps folks coming back. If in the area please give it a look.

    If your looking for an old school diner, this is a good one. The service is good and the building it's self is ok. The food is fantastic, I got the BIG Daddy burger basket, the crinkle cut fries was hot and cooked properly. It came with Cole slaw as well and it was so good. The burger patty was huge and came out smoking hot. Try this place, my wife's grilled chicken salad was big fresh and delicious! Will be going back soon, not many seats inside so may be a wait.

    This restaurant is as the name suggests, the Old bus station. It was a working bus station up until 1991. Even today, the restaurant gets calls about getting a bus ticket. This is a typical greasy spoon style diner. They specialize in banana soft serve, but apparently that is just a summer time treat. In the winter, you can get banana splits and banana milkshakes. I opted for the bulldog burger which is topped with bacon and a bourbon BB sauce. Who says no to bourbon sauce in KY? It came with cole slaw and fries. Everything was tasty, service was friendly and it came out quick. This is a great place to stop in for lunch.

    Not friendly. We always try and support local small businesses but we were clearly not welcomed. We drove up from Florida on Worlds largest yard sale. We try our best to spend money in local communities- but according to the cook we were nothing but a hindrance. Yes they were a little busy- but I thought it was comical to see the cook take the time to turn and tell everyone at the bar that "they are so backed up from this stupid 127 yard sale.." Anyways, service was horrendous- no organization as everyone seemed flustered. We will go to huddle house next time. Better food and more than likely better, more inviting service.

    Made this a stop on the way to TN and definitely glad we did. First off, super friendly staff! Since we got here a little before lunch, the specials weren't on the board yet, but there were menus at the outside dining tables. Still kind of bummed that we missed out on the specials, the catfish looked amazing! Instead we ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with tater tots and the titan burger with onion rings. Now this is one of the few times I will say this, but fried is definitely the way to go! They know what they are doing as the onion rings and tater tots weren't overly greasy and perfectly crisp. The sandwiches were both also quite good. For dessert, we split the banana soft serve, and dipped some tater tots in it! This is not a dessert to be passed on! Order, trust me you will appreciate it, but it is definitely something to be shared. Also the mix of salty and sweet with the tater tots dipped in it great! We will definitely be back when we drive through the area again.

As soon as we parked the car we were greeted by a ginormous need of mint...the scent was inticing. The tavern does not take reservations and we arrived at the perfect time, around 5:30. But 6 pm the bar was full and most of the tables were also filled. The tavern had good character, dark, woody...with photos of rick houses on the wall along with paintings of two fierce owls. We were greeted immediately and had the pleasure of being served by the most pleasant and efficient waitress. Enough choices for bourbon, some good drafts, and a deliciously made dry martini (along with a coffee for our tea toatler yesterday) started is off. There was a nice selection of specials for the day...some of which only a true southerner could appreciate (fruit gel topped with mayo, tomato spicy over cottage cheese topped with mayo) and some like cream of broccoli soup and steak boardelaise that even a yank could appreciate. Our table settled on two orders of fried catfish which came with a choice of two sides...baked potato and coleslaw were the choices. One of our diners choose the fried chicken livers that came with cream gravy...she chose the broccoli soup and corn pudding as her sides. Our tea toatler chose the country fried steak. I will term you that everyone cleaned their plates...it was that good. A final round of coffee, the OK from the waitress that we could pick some mint (which was planted in our garden at home) and we were off. Guess who is coming back? Me!!!

Food was lukewarm at best. I had the Hot Brown. Expected for the price freshly sliced deli ham and turkey on a nice slice of brioche toast. Got thin deli sliced turkey pulled out of package. Never found the ham unless it was the same color as the turkey. Found the thin soggy sandwich bread slice. All was smothered in a barely heated sauce. Are these made ahead of time then microwaved to order? For $20? My friend had prime rib. Also cold, mashed potatoes cold, we've had much better prime rib at franchises like Roadhouse or Cattlemens. The blueberry cobbler was a soggy mess. Friday night, only about 5 tables being served. It has gone from a nice restaurant with good food, to a local tavern where they'll throw something in the microwave for you if you're hungry. Bring your wallet. Waaay overpriced for the quality.

One of those starters that makes you pause and say, "this place is going to be good."

The filets were cooked with precision, the crab cakes were packed with clean, fresh flavor, and the Wagyu burger was rich, juicy, and deeply satisfying.
