    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.

They delivered 1 biscuit and pumpkin muffin per person with butter and jam to the table. There were people scooping, but I assume you could get more. The grits and sausage were so good. I don't even normally like sausage. The biscuit and jam were so good too. All the food was delicious. I saw someone trash talk the breakfast buffet in an another review, but every bite I ate was good. I just came back from Disney, this was above the standard breakfast buffet in quality. IF you are wanting a relaxing, DINKS or retired experience, I'd look at the calendar before booking. Some of the adults seemed overwhelmed by kids near them, and on this date, the restaurant was FULL with kids.

    Breakfast but don't be in a Hurry…read more Me and my husband had always wanted to try this restaurant. I made a reservation and was really looking forward to our breakfast. The website stated that they bring fresh pumpkin muffins to your table. I was really excited about this. We went on a Friday morning and checked in. The host (an older gentleman) reminded me of someone that worked at a funeral home as he was not energetic or smile with a greeting. We were seated and sat there for quite a while. The room they put us in was a little darker than I like. When the waitress finally came to our table, which felt like forever we ordered our drinks and food at the same time asking for our condiments as well when ordering. She brought the muffins out and there were two little bite size muffins on a plate with two balls of butter (very disappointing). The butter was almost bigger than the muffins. I ordered the Shaker breakfast, and my husband ordered the biscuits and gravy. We each ordered a sweet tea to drink. The food came out with no drinks or condiments in which we had asked for. We had to remind her of our drinks, condiments etc. and my husband asked for some more water. The food overall was really good. However, our waitress never came back to check on us or to see if we needed anything. The restaurant wasn't busy and the other server in the area was very attentive to her customers offering them more muffins, drinks etc. I even made the comment to my husband that I wished she had been our waitress. Make sure to ask for butter and jam for your biscuit as they were a little dry to eat on its own but like I said our waitress never came back to check on us so I couldn't ask. The water my husband asked for never came until we were completely done with our food at that point, we were ready for the check. The waitress brought a pitcher of water, and we asked for our check. She never once asked how our food was. We decided that based on our service that we will not be visiting this restaurant in the future. Sometimes the service can be a make or breaking deal.

    After a day long visit to Shaker Village, a 10 minute drive to the Old Owl Tavern (part of the…read moreBeaumont Inn) was the perfect choice for dinner. 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!!!

    Table for three was cleared and handed to us promptly (they don't take reservations)…read more Drinks were great (old fashioned and manhattan). Server was attentive and friendly. House salad was fresh with fantastic blue cheese dressing I assume was house made. Chicken livers were impeccable--crispy outside and tender and delicious inside. Gravy was nice (hint of nutmeg?) mash was acceptable but not outstanding. Chicken my companions had was good. Banana cake was outstanding! Cobbler was undercooked and not tasty (they gladly subbed in an orange/lemon cake which was great) bread pudding and cobbler both looked a little sad next to the cake portions. Perhaps think about human nature when you are pushing out desserts. It is very easy to feel let down when your dessert is tiny and your neighbor's dessert is huge! Just a thought. Recommend highly! Atmosphere, service, food, the whole picture.

Service was great - our waitress was attentive and got our order in perfect, plus was able to split up the checks with no issue.
