Someone told me that Charles Barkley said Merrick Inn had the BEST fried chicken. I had that dish…read moreas well. We had a great time at Merrick In. We had 3 appetizers and we also had Cheese. We were planning to go to Panda Cuisine after this, but we all got too full. Gonna try again soon. I also learned about eating the skin on a baked potato when I ate here. Never heard that you could do that before. But this news was welcome because it meant more potato to enjoy! Got some bread puddin to top it all off. There were a lot of jokes and stories told. My one friend loves telling the story of A&W from undergrad. When we went to Kroger and got lost with all our bags of food. Those plastic bags were snapping left and right. Everyone had a giggle at that one. Then we debated the best way to make banana puddin. One guy said something about putting creamed cheese in it. That was Cheese. He also uses Lorna Doone cookies in it. Huh? Our other friend ordered "stewed tomatoes." All in all, I would rate this experience relatively highly. Some people criticize me for "handing out" 5-star reviews on here, but it is not true. Check my profile. I'm hard to please. But Merrick in was my pleasure. I'd come here again and stuff. I guess you could say I gave this place one star for every guy in our party. We're all 5-star guys for the most part, but we'll donate those stars to Merick Inn, giving them my first 5-Star review since I don't know when!

We arrived 30 minutes early and got seated immediately. Our group started with the Fried Green Tomatoes and they were fantastic. I had the Southern Fried Chicken with Southern Green Beans and Heirloom Carrots. My wife had the Beef Medallions with Asparagus, Stewed Tomatoes and Heirloom Carrots. Our friends had the Halibut Special with Stewed Tomatoes and the Iceberg Wedge with a loaded Baked Potato. For cocktails I had the New Old Fashioned. This place has a cool history and I am glad to have experience. Very eclectic decor and vibe. Next time, we would like to enjoy the outside bar/patio area.

My wife and I had a late lunch here last Wednesday, 4/29/26. The owner CJ greeted us and Wayne was…read moreour excellent waiter. He was informative and enthusiastic about the options, including the shrimp and grits that I ordered off of the dinner menu. They were incredible, the real deal! The shrimp was fresh and wonderfully seasoned! My wife ordered the Cuban with fries and she loved it. The seasoned fries were surprisingly great! We each boxed about half of our dishes to go, but then Wayne offered desserts. My wife ordered the bourbon cake but when Wayne started describing the chocolate cake, I had to get it. We took both to go and ate everything when we got home. I'm a chocolate addict and simply put, the chocolate cake was the absolute best I have ever had! It was a thing of beauty, dark and rich and topped with a white chocolate design! Each type of chocolate, one after the other, offered a distinct and delicious flavor. It was an experience! It is truly surprising to find such a high end restaurant with great service when we were just looking for a new local place to eat lunch. We loved it!

The charm of old tables with mismatched chairs, even a bench made from an old bed headboard. The staff is great. Quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. The bar is huge.

My breakfast bowl was absolutely perfect! Potatoes roasted to perfection with awesome hot sausage with eggs cooked to order and covered in the best sausage gravy that I have ever had! Note: I love sausage gravy and have eaten it all over the country. Bravo to the chef! We will be back!

As usual, food is worth the drive. Had a wonderful luncheon with friends, last week. Ordered the…read morefried chicken (8 piece, as we wanted leftover chicken, and wanted several sides ). The cornbread was stunning, love how it is served in the skillet. The sides of crispy brussel sprouts ( a10+), whipped potatoes, mac n cheese, and field salad were wonderful. As for the fried chicken, it's wonderful, crispy and not over seasoned, allowing the chicken to shine. The only downside, and this bothered me enough that I actually emailed the restaurant. They now offer mocktails - one sounded extremely refreshing, Blueberry Spritz, so I ordered. It was very refreshing. The problem arose when I went to pay the bill and discovered I had been charged for the alcoholic Blueberry Spritz, when I asked the waiter, they apologized as they forgot it was now offered as a mocktail. The mocktail and cocktail have the same name, so.... Had I been a recovering alcoholic, or had a medical condition that prevented me from drinking, this could of been bad. When emailing the restaurant I suggested they change the names so a mocktail could not be confused for a cocktail. I had pointed to the mocktail, even commenting on it sounding great as a non alcoholic option, when ordering. If you want a mocktail, confirm when given to you, it is a mocktail... by the way, my cocktail did not taste alcoholic...

Fords Garage claims they are known for three things: burgers, beer, and bathrooms. I can attest to…read morethe first and third, as I didn't have a beer when I was in, but I think they can add ambiance and service to that list even though neither starts with a B. This place is really cool inside. It truly has a Detroit vibe that I liked. My son went with the BBQ Brisket Burger and I got the Ford's Signature Burger. Both were really good but the BBQ Brisket stood out. Highly recommend. Also, the fries are excellent and well seasoned. Service here is excellent as well. Don't forget to stop by the restrooms even if you don't have to. They are super unique and add to the overall vibe. The only drawback of this place is it is located among the Fayette Mall monstrosity and traffic nightmare. But I'd still say it is well worth that headache. I'll be back.

They are NOT SUBTLE with the theme, car parts and garage items are everywhere. It's fun, especially for car enthusiasts and kids. They're known for burgers, beer, and bathrooms. OK... Burgers... we each got different burgers and they were all good, not great. Mine was messy with an egg on top and hard to eat, but that's typical of the overloaded burger thing. And, it was just ok for flavor, nothing special. The fries were fries. Fine. The Cheese Curd appetizer was really good. And, the dessert we got... something with ice cream and chocolate was decadent! I had a beer. It was a good beer. But, they didn't make it. They do have a good selection. The Bathroom... well, they have gas pump handle faucets and the sinks are truck wheels. But, other than that, it's a pretty basic bathroom. I told our server that Buc-ee's had better bathrooms and she seemed genuinely offended. But, it's true. Overall, it didn't blow me away. I'd go back if I was going with someone who really likes it. But, I don't know that I'll choose it again.
