Half of my party are new to the area and we saw really good reviews for this place, so decided to…read moretry it. The staff were very nice, we sat outside to eat and enjoy the view. The food was good, I had the cheesesteak, but all I got on the sandwich was the meat, a very small amount of cheese and no mushrooms. The fries it came with were really good, crispy with a good taste. The sweet tea was very good! If we go again, I'll try a chicken dish, hopefully it will be better!

We love going to the Ironton area. First time here, and we loved it!…read more The food was very good, nice sized portions, our server was friendly and attentive. They have daily specials at a good price. The drinks are served in these huge cups-great souvenir! There are a few separate areas that look like they can be used for groups. Very clean, nothing fancy. We'll return!

Everything was fantastic. We had breakfast on a Saturday. The place was packed but we still got…read morefantastic service and our food fairly quickly. My husband got the breakfast burrito which he demolished and I got the Philly omelette which was packed full of meat and cheese. We split the cinnamon roll waffle which has a cream cheese icing to die for. It's the best waffle we've ever had. I watched many fantastic looking goodies getting delivered to other tables. We will definitely return to try some of the other mouth watering options. Staff was attentive and super sweet. Glasses stayed full and we left stuff. The abbey is a beautiful building. Historical photos line the walls. It is definitely a worthy day trip. Don't forget to grab some baked goods to go. They have bread a pastries. My husband and I had a phenomenal meal and we will be back to sample more.

When the previous owners ran Thee Abbey, the food was sublime .. fresh everything! Roast beef was a…read morebeef roast, not sliced deli meat. New owners, nowhere near that level of excellence. I wanted a steak, perused the menu, saw something that said "Saintsbury Steak", "real Missouri beef", etc. $18, sounded like a steak to me. Turns out it was a tiny little SALSBURY steak!! On a bed of fake mashed potatoes. When I contacted the owner, told him I was misled by the description on the menu, was very disappointed in an $18 HAMBURGER on fake potatoes, he simply said he was sorry I felt that way, so sad. He said that was one of his best sellers. All I can say is his clientele must not have much to choose from. I'll NEVER go back there again. I sure miss the previous owners who cared what they served and how people liked it.

I would've been better off having a steeped matcha packet at home. at least that would have some flavor to it. the baristas weren't very nice and I wouldn't come back again but everyone has off days, it's just important the people you're paying to make your drink for you actually know how to make them.

Wow. Glad we did a search and found the Riverside Grill -- we all loved our lunch. It was clearly a…read morelocals place (off major highways and all) and the food is freshly made in-house which is so uncommon now. I asked what they do best and the waitress confidently recommended catfish and proceeded to talk about the breading and all. A woman at a nearby table said "it's so good" and held up a piece to take a bite. I was sold and the crunch of the breading was awesome and the fish was amazing! The hand cut fries were great too. And because I needed more fried food, I ordered a side of fried pickles. Yum with ranch! My sister had the ribeye sandwich and wouldn't stop talking about how awesome it was. She loved everything about it. Made each of us try it. Talked about the marinade, the fresh mushrooms that were sauted and all the things. And the onion rings were so good she gushed. My brother-in-law had a brisket pastrami that he loved. We had a great server who was friendly, quick and knew the place inside and out! They have been traveling for three weeks and said this was the best meal of the trip! That definitely rates stars and a Yelp review!

Food was pretty decent , table was clean and it had a diner vibe…read more Service was not very good tbh , place wasn't crowded when I came in only a few customers, took a bit before the waitress brought me a menu took awhile more before she came and took my order. She didn't bother checking on me for coffee refill ect I got tired of waiting to pay and walked up to counter to see if I could pay and leave. Had to wait for her and the cook till they finished arguing with another patron about a sandwich wrap. Took a few more minutes to get her to ring me up. The cook seemed irritated and told the lady "I'll remake it" If it was me seeing how annoyed he was I wouldn't eat that wrap. I won't be going back , my omelet was decent and would rate a 4 star but the service was horrible. Waitress seemed more inclined to gab with other staff or checking her phone than tending to customers.

Update: The Music Kitchen has permanently closed…read more Best food of its type in the area, and there are a lot of places serving home style food around there. The fried chicken takes 25 minutes to cook. Just walk in the door and order it first thing. It's worth the wait- better than all the other places. Chatted up the chef- he takes obvious pride in his work. Most items are from scratch and the specials are great. We'll be back on our next trip to beautiful Caledonia.
