I ordered the Tomato Bisque & Grilled Cheese. The bisque was smooth and rich, with a little…read moresweetness from the balsamic and a subtle depth from the vodka and truffle salt. The pine nuts sprinkled on top added a nice crunch. The grilled cheese was incredible. The Texas toast bread was buttery and crisp, sandwiching a creamy mix of cheddar, Camembert, and cream cheese. The jalapeño preserves add just the right touch of sweet heat. It was delectable and even better when dunking in the bisque. On a bitterly cold day (heads up, the building is old, so dress warm!), this sandwich and soup combo was exactly what I needed. I would absolutely order it again next time I go.

Once that member of our party got the food, it was raw dough in the fish and chips. Schnitzel had good flavor but crusting fell right off. Bratwurst was ok but overcooked. I understand they weren't expecting a big party but it was packed other than us. The excuse we got from the bartender/waitress was that she didn't work in the kitchen. Not going back.

Had an absolutely great time at Blue Stallion Brewing Co. This place is a whole vibe…read more First of all, the beer menu? Impressive. There's something for everyone, whether you're a "let me analyze the hops" person or a "just give me something cold and delicious" person. Everything we tried was solid, and it's clear they know what they're doing. The venue itself is super cool. Family friendly, relaxed, not pretentious, and somehow feels both lively and laid-back at the same time. The kind of place where you can hang out for one drink and accidentally stay for three. Service was great: friendly, fast, and helpful without hovering. Exactly what you want when you're trying to responsibly sample your way through a tap list. Parking is excellent. Stress-free. No parallel parking gymnastics. No circling the block questioning your life choices. Just... parking. Beautiful. They also had a pop-up event featuring local artists, which was awesome. Apparently they host things like that pretty regularly, and I love that they're supporting local small businesses. Nothing pairs better with a craft beer than community spirit. They offer pizza, which we didn't try this time, but it looked and smelled incredible. Great beer, cool atmosphere, excellent service, strong community vibes, and parking that doesn't make you cry. 10/10, will absolutely be back.

Apparently the restaurant has decided to try out a new concept called "Fine Dining: Survivor Edition." The tables sat covered in dirty dishes long enough to qualify as permanent decor, and our food took so long I considered filing a missing persons report. When it finally arrived, it was cold. Not "could use a quick reheat" cold -- I mean "the marinara sauce had the temperature and emotional warmth of an iceberg" cold. The loaded potatoes were overcooked with about three toppings sprinkled on top like they were rationing cheese during wartime. The pizza? Floppy, bland, and somehow both soggy and dry at the same time. Truly impressive. And the chicken parmesan sandwich was just confusing. The bread was actually great, which made it even sadder that the chicken itself was dry and somehow NOT fried. A chicken parmesan sandwich without crispy chicken feels like someone forgot the assignment halfway through. The restaurant may be dog friendly, but after sniffing the leftovers we brought home, even the dogs seemed personally offended. This place used to be one of my favorites, which makes this even more disappointing. Hoping this was just an off night because right now the quality has left the building faster than our server did.

Gotta be honest with you...meh. I was a little disappointed…read more I'll start with the beers. I tried the Old Reliable and the White Girl Wasted. Not much flavor in either one. Hate to say it, as it's local, but I'd much rather knock back a Budweiser. And I never even drink Budweiser. Tried the Margherita pizza. I really liked the wood fired crust. Super tender with a wood fired flavor to it. But the pizza overall was quite bland. And, with tax, it was pushing twenty dollars. That's an Andrew Jackson for a pizza not much bigger than the size of my hand. They have to be pulling fifteen dollar margins on that small pizza. You're not gonna feed a family of four in here without it hurting. And that's just odd to me when we're talking pizza. I really like what they did to the place. Sharp looking inside. But the service ain't really that great, especially when you consider the prices. And it attracts a certain white collar, hipster clientele. Not that there's anything wrong with that but that's the feel. It's not a place you're going to go after you just plumbed a house. It just doesn't have that blue collar feel to it that some breweries do, and I kinda left wishing it did. But hey, what do I know? Place is popular. I hope it's successful in this expansion location. Before I went there, I asked my neighbor what he thought of it when I saw him walking back from the place with a box. He said, in two words, "It's expensive." That's it. All he told me. So, I'll leave you with that.

This place is AHHH-MAZING! Honestly, it might be the best burger I've had since moving to Kentucky…read more The vibe is such a cool mix--part dive bar, part nostalgic hangout. It feels like the kind of "hopping" bar you imagined as a kid, with colored lights, loud energy, and retro knickknacks that look straight out of your grandparents' basement bar in 1986 in Milwaukee. It somehow hits the perfect balance between gritty and fun. And the food? Incredible. Everything tastes fresh and made with real ingredients. The pickles were on point, the burgers were outstanding, and the fries were loaded with toppings--honestly more toppings than fries--and I'm not mad about it at all. My new fave spot when I visit.
