It's made in house and is the right amount of sweet. We all had our fill! On top of it all our server was so kind and welcoming and friendly! She made sure our sweet tea was always filled. The place itself is spacious. The outdoor space looked like it could be a lot of fun in the evening.

Wonderful service, even on a busy holiday. Struggling to keep up with a busy lunch rush, but they were holding it together quite well. Clean restrooms. Had the meatloaf special. Not fresh made meatloaf. This was more of a minced, spam-ish beef product with can gravy. Didn't taste like home, sadly. However, veggies were fine as were the fries. And for the price, overall a good value. This is a fine diner. I'd recommend sticking close to the short order classics.

The weather was perfect for it, and I love dining outside so when we walked in to be seated we asked for the balcony seating. You take the stairs up to the second floor and then walk out onto the balcony. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was knowledgeable, made suggestions, took our drink order and food orders quickly and brought everything right out. This time I ordered the chips and queso for a starter, and the chicken quesadilla for my meal. Both were very good. My husband had the CRP sandwich with crispy chicken and French fries. You can also get it with grilled chicken if you prefer. Everything came out hot and fresh. Large enough portions that half of everything went home for lunch the next day. Check them out!

We showed up right at opening, five o'clock, and there was already a long line of people waiting to get in. Make a reservation. I'm glad we did. We had a party of four and was seated at a low top that had a view of the kitchen. Lively open space with an open kitchen you can see both the cook line and the prep area. The cornbread was the unexpected standout of the entire meal. Mildly sweet, savory, light and fluffy all the way through. I was not expecting a side dish to steal the show, but it did. We also ordered the double stuffed burrata, and the bread it came with deserves its own mention. Crisp, lightly toasted, with just a touch of char. It paired beautifully with the creamy burrata and the accompaniments on the plate. For my entree I went with the grilled Caesar salad and added shrimp. It ended up being the perfect call. The portion was generous, the shrimp addition made it feel like a real meal. The romaine had this excellent crisp char on it that added so much. The dressing was heavenly. One of the best Caesar dressings I have had in a while. My favorite parts of the night had nothing to do with what was on my plate. We got to watch chef Sara Bradley working the kitchen with her team during service, and it was clear why this place has the reputation it does. I'd love to come back and try the prix fixe tasting menu next time. Overall this was a great experience from start to finish. And a must stop or destination when driving through KY.

I walked into Driftwood Lounge expecting a full on dive bar experience, and they delivered. This is…read morenot the place to go if you are looking for mood lighting, artisanal coasters, or a bartender who calls you "sir" unironically. And honestly it works. The locals greeted me like I'd just come back from a long trip instead of walking in for the first time. Either they're incredibly friendly or they thought I needed supervision. Either way, solid welcome. Service was minimal in the best possible way. No hovering, life story, or unnecessary check-ins. Just quick, friendly, and efficient, like they understood I came to eat, not start a long term relationship. Now here's where things take a turn: the food has no business being this good. I ordered the Southside Supreme Pizza, and I'm still trying to figure out how a place that looks like it could host a darts league championship is casually putting out world class pizza. I've had pizza from all over the world and this place can hold its own. Thin, perfectly crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and enough cheese to make you question your priorities but not your choices. It's like the pizza didn't get the memo about where it was being served. So yeah, I give it 5 stars. Come for the dive bar charm, stay because the food quietly outperforms half of the "fancy" places that make you wait 45 minutes for a table and then serve you a disappointment on a wooden board. I'll definitely be back. Next time I might even try to look like I belong.

I think only 1 other person came in during my 45 mins there which made me a little nervous. The place is what one expects from a BBQ place, kind of shabby-chic. Fun decor, old building and a courtyard with picnic tables. I sat at the bar that was largely stocked and had 5 beers on tap. I got a local Vienna Lager from Scotch Brewing and a blonde ale from another local brewery. Both solid. Bartender was really friendly and told me a lot about the local beer and music scene. Anyway, I ordered the wings, bbq beans and banana pudding. The wings were coated in a sweet bbq sauce that was delicious. The wings weren't as crisp as I would like but still good. The beans were solid but not really memorable. The banana pudding was really good. Too many places now make banana pudding with like 75 percent whipped cream. This was like 90 percent banana and banana pudding. Perfect. Cool people, cool atmosphere, and good food.
