    Meatloaf and potatoes
    Michelle E.

    I hate this place and at some point I am going to stop trying to get food here. Tonight, after 15 mins, the bartender was informed by the kitchen that they are out of the food that all four of the folks at my table ordered. Then the pickles came out under cooked. At this point I am beyond hangry. We have been here for over an hr and just got the pickles. Once food finally arrived, it was ok. My burger was well done and dry but at this point, how can I complain...it's good after all. Can someone also explain to me how an Irish Pub have rap music playing??? Thankfully I asked the bartender, Althea, to change it and she put on a sea shanty! Lol! Honestly, the bartenders were the saving grace of every experience we have had here. BTW, they have been out of meatloaf each time I have come here after the first time. So sad we cannot have better in Williamsburg.

    Back if menu

    Unique ambiance with a nod to the area's historical ties! We stopped here after visiting Cumberland Falls on our way to Florida. The food was good and it's just a short detour from I-75!

    Burger with beer cheese and fries

    Stopped by while I was down town. Figured I'd try the burger. It had great flavor and the beer cheese definitely was a great choice on this burger.

    Delicious food, and always great live music on the weekends. Fun atmosphere, definitely the place to be when you have some free time

    You will feel nothing but warm welcome when walking into this little pub. If you're lucky enough to have some live entertainment from a local college student, have him sing Tennessee Whiskey... you'll get goose bumps. The bartender (maybe the owner?) is a hoot. Our waitress was so friendly. The drinks were a little watered down, but it is truly this small town's hidden gem. You'll recognize it by the butterfly mural on the side of the building.

    This is what $30 of bad food looks like

    AWFUL THE WORST FOOD I HAVE HAD IN YEARS !!!!!!! When I complained the manager came to me and told me to go F myself Ok small band was playing and no one clapped, felt bad for them, so I ordered Scotch Eggs and Fish n chips my girl ordered meatloaf. Scotch Eggs, well being English I know what they should look and taste like,, these were a joke,, they were awful and as you can see I left them, under that plate is my fish and chips,, fish was frozen and not good the 2nd piece had that strong bad fishy taste and I am sat here typing feeling unwell. Meatloaf, had like a BBQ sauce mix with soy sauce twang, in was not edible and she is now also having tummy ache. I told the waitress this was some of the worse food I have ever had, she said she would go get the manager, he came and took my credit card and I showed him this review, he asked me what could he do to make his business better, I explained it was not my position to advise him on his food and experience, to which he responded "Go F@&# Yourself) funny enough a couple at the table next to him heard him and got up and left. I was not after a free meal as I can afford to go out to eat and do on a regular basis but this place was bad. you can see how much food we left,, that should tell you , thats what $30 of substandard food looks like. So maybe the kitchens need inspecting and I would advise checking the ID of the college kids in there, I saw several I know were not 21 being served beer. So dont waste your time or money, look at the other reviews

    I was so impressed by Wrigley Taproom and Eatery. The menu is small and not printed, instead…read moredisplayed on several blackboards adorning the walls, attractively written with colored chalks. As a "farm-to-table" type of place, many of the items included the name of the farm where the ingredients came from. As it was fairly busy I sat at the bar so as not to tie up a 4-seat table. Soon after sitting a pleasant smoky aroma filled the room and I saw the bartender fiddling with a kitchen torch. Making a Smoked Old Fashioned. So that's what I got. What bourbon, he asked. I wasn't sure so he walked me over to the side of the bar and there were so many! I decided on one arbitrarily, a local craft brand, and he approved. Only a $3 upcharge from the standard one. It was very good, though not as smoky as I expected. The cherry was premium, not the standard bar maraschino. I do like an Old Fashioned, but I sort of wished I noticed the list of specialty cocktails first, which were really unusual and intriguing. Such as the "Garden Gnome": Vodka, yuzu, olive juice, basil, St. Germaine, and gin. For beer lovers, a very large diverse selection, from Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, and Mexico. Most of the entrees are a la carte. Order sides separately if you want them. I decided on tacos, with sides of fries and roasted brussels sprouts. This works here even for a single diner because the sides are small and inexpensive ($4 and $5), though a larger size is also offered. The entrees also were reasonable, most $15. Even the Wagyu Steak was just $29, complete with sides. I've seen prices from $40 to $60 elsewhere. The tacos were Birria, which is a Mexican style of slow cooking meat - short rib in this case - seasoned with adobo. They included mozzarella cheese, cilantro, and pickled onions and cabbage. The flour tortillas were deep-fried and more substantial than usual. Two sauces were offered in tiny bowls. One was thin and was probably the braising liquid from the meat and the other white and speckled with green herbs, sort of like a raita. Very good. The fries, crispy, hand cut, crispy, and seasoned, were also very good. And the roasted brussels sprouts were amazing. The best ever - though I seem to say that often. Sauced relatively heavily in sweet maple glaze, tender, and not at all bitter. I was surprised that there were no seafood items on the menu other than the Smoked Salmon BLT taco. And vegetarians might have a problem here. Not much to choose from other than the Big Ass Pretzel or a green salad. For dessert I had Bourbon Butter Cake, with peaches, Amaro (a peach liqueur), bourbon, and ice cream. Good but it could have used more bourbon and liqueur. And it was warmed and served in a small cast-iron skillet so the ice cream was too melted for my liking. That's my fault. I usually ask for these types of dessert not to be warmed. The great meal was matched by the decor and ambience. Pretty brick walls, decorative chandeliers, and a huge welcoming rainbow flag. Maybe that keeps the MAGAs away. That's fine. They can eat at Chick-fil-A. (Joking. Everybody is welcome here.)

    5/5 Stars -- Easily one of the absolute best dining experiences in Kentucky…read more We stumbled upon this gem on Main Street in Corbin, KY today, and it completely blew us away. Located in a beautifully restored 1913 Greyhound bus station, it brings a masterclass in farm-to-table dining with original brick-and-mortar charm. It's authentic, eclectic, and classy without an ounce of pretension--you'll feel just as comfortable rolling in fresh off a lake day as you would celebrating a special occasion. What we ordered (and you need to try): Wagyu Sirloin ($29): We need to talk about this. Served with asparagus and a twice-baked potato for $29, this is easily the single best value dish within a 100-mile radius. Unbelievable quality. Salmon BLT Tacos: Pure perfection, especially after a day on the water. Burrata Cheese & Peach Salad: Absolute fire. Fresh and perfectly balanced. Birria Tacos: Exceptionally rich flavor and executed flawlessly. Blueberry Tiramisu & Limoncello: A shocker of a dessert pairing to end the night--completely knocked it out of the park. The Bar: Drinks are poured with a heavy hand and crafted strong. The open-kitchen concept lets you see the passion this team puts into their craft. Huge thanks to Draven for the warm welcome at the door, and to Laura in the kitchen who pointed us directly toward the must-try dishes and nailed every recommendation. Don't let the reasonable prices fool you--this isn't just "good for Corbin." This is foodie-certified, top-tier dining anywhere in the country. A new absolute favorite. Thank you to the whole team for doing what you do!
