    Pickled veggies
    Lisal F.

    The Trustees' Table is a local (very local as much of the food is sourced directly from their own farm) restaurant located in Shaker Village. We booked a dinner reservation during a recent visit to Harrodsburg and it was an excellent experience. The restaurant strongly recommends making a reservation due to its popularity with locals. They offer seating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and a breakfast buffet on the weekends. Dinner was popular the weekend we visited, so the only reservation available for our group size was 830pm. We arrived and were seated right away. Our server was kind and knowledgeable; when asked about specific ingredients in dishes she took the time to double check with the chef, ensuring we were not inadvertently poisoned due to allergies and dietary needs. There are a variety of appetizers, salads, two soups (tomato celery and soup of the day), entrees, sides, and desserts. After ordering we were treated to complimentary country bread with butter and a dish of quick-pickled veggies (okra, carrots, baby corn, radishes, and onions). The bread was not vegan, but the veggies were so I was able to enjoy. The okra was a bit tough and woody but the other veggies were perfect, delicately flavored with a good crunch. The current seasonal menu has one vegan entrée - curried lentils with smashed sweet potato, and it is truly lovely. The lentils were a bit salty but as the sweet potato was not, as long as each bite contains some of each the overall dish is executed beautifully. Pricing is what one would expect for a farm to table restaurant located within a tourist attraction - not unreasonable but not necessarily inexpensive (my lentil dish was $18). I do wish there were more vegan options, including a vegan dessert choice. Overall though the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is lovely, the food is worth it - absolutely worth a visit.

    Very nice restaurant with good service and atmosphere. The tomato soup with celery was delicious. Add the cornbread muffins and yummy! The lemon pie is the best!!

    Went during lunch hours. Cozy place. Ordered Reuben sandwich with side of collard greens instead of French fries. Part of lunch they bring out mini corn bread which was light and fluffy. Tasted good. Had a chance to visit the gift shop which is on the premise.

    RESERVATION SUGGESTED I made a reservation at The Trustees' Table well in advance of our visit to Pleasant Hill. From what I could tell, there weren't any other eating options on-site except for snacks and grab-n-go items at the post-office store, so I was glad we'd made a reservation. There are picnic tables on-site and you can bring your own food, so I would do that another time. HISTORIC BUILDING Overall, it was nice to eat in a historic Shaker building/dining room. The food was decent. The waitress was friendly and doing her best on a busy day, but the wait time for food was a little slow. HOSTESS NOT EXACTLY WELCOMING The woman with short curly hair on the hostess podium was miserable, and generally added a sour note to our experience. If the restaurant is reading this, I would remove that employee from your podium as she is not a good candidate for the hospitality industry! We approached the hostess podium a little earlier than our reservation time due to timing and proximity to the restaurant, hoping we could be seated. The hostess barely said a word, didn't smile, grabbed 2 menus and marched us to our table. After the two of us were seated at a table for four, I realized there was a floor vent pumping cold air, which was uncomfortable, so I asked the waitress if we could move to a table for two across the room. The waitress went to ask the hostess whom I saw shake her head in disbelief that we'd asked to move. The waitress came back and did say yes, we could move. It really made more sense for the restaurant as we were now only occupying a table for two, not four! As far as the food, we enjoyed quiche with salad and soup with country ham biscuits.

    It has been a long time since we have eaten here. We have done two walks this fall as part of their guided tours, one was the spirit walk on Halloween and the second was civil war close to Veterans Day! They reminded us that we had not eaten here in a long while! The walks were socially distanced and so is the restaurant! We were the only ones here in the room that we were sat in. We started with lobster bisque, even though a lot of lobster taste not a lot of meat, very creamy and piping hot! The soup beans were nice and tender full of smoked ham flavor, tender corn bread. Not like most places where the soup was thick, the broth was like stock! Very very good! An added bonus was slaw and corn muffins that were not order but came for the table. The slaw was very fresh and crisp, creamy (light not overly creamy) but a nice vinegar tang was present as well! We ordered "The Manhattan" an open faced roast beef on top of toast mashed potatoes, and brown gravy! The beef was tender and imparted a nice flavor with the gravy. The mashed potatoes are made rustic and have small chunks of potato. The second plate was "Meatloaf" that came with the same mashed potatoes and southern style green beans and the extra bonus was the warm tomato bacon jam that has sweet red pepper in it for a little ketchup style sweetness! Slightly chunky on the bacon jam, but added as a garnish not cooked on top of the meat loaf! All in all a great meal and found and gonna be back more often! First day of new menu! Chef Amber is awesome!

    Very good service, breakfast was good, good biscuits as well as sausage. Dinner was good, but a little bit pricey for what was offered.

    After a day long visit to Shaker Village, a 10 minute drive to the Old Owl Tavern (part of the…read moreBeaumont Inn) was the perfect choice for dinner. As soon as we parked the car we were greeted by a ginormous need of mint...the scent was inticing. The tavern does not take reservations and we arrived at the perfect time, around 5:30. But 6 pm the bar was full and most of the tables were also filled. The tavern had good character, dark, woody...with photos of rick houses on the wall along with paintings of two fierce owls. We were greeted immediately and had the pleasure of being served by the most pleasant and efficient waitress. Enough choices for bourbon, some good drafts, and a deliciously made dry martini (along with a coffee for our tea toatler yesterday) started is off. There was a nice selection of specials for the day...some of which only a true southerner could appreciate (fruit gel topped with mayo, tomato spicy over cottage cheese topped with mayo) and some like cream of broccoli soup and steak boardelaise that even a yank could appreciate. Our table settled on two orders of fried catfish which came with a choice of two sides...baked potato and coleslaw were the choices. One of our diners choose the fried chicken livers that came with cream gravy...she chose the broccoli soup and corn pudding as her sides. Our tea toatler chose the country fried steak. I will term you that everyone cleaned their plates...it was that good. A final round of coffee, the OK from the waitress that we could pick some mint (which was planted in our garden at home) and we were off. Guess who is coming back? Me!!!

    Table for three was cleared and handed to us promptly (they don't take reservations)…read more Drinks were great (old fashioned and manhattan). Server was attentive and friendly. House salad was fresh with fantastic blue cheese dressing I assume was house made. Chicken livers were impeccable--crispy outside and tender and delicious inside. Gravy was nice (hint of nutmeg?) mash was acceptable but not outstanding. Chicken my companions had was good. Banana cake was outstanding! Cobbler was undercooked and not tasty (they gladly subbed in an orange/lemon cake which was great) bread pudding and cobbler both looked a little sad next to the cake portions. Perhaps think about human nature when you are pushing out desserts. It is very easy to feel let down when your dessert is tiny and your neighbor's dessert is huge! Just a thought. Recommend highly! Atmosphere, service, food, the whole picture.

It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.

The filets were cooked with precision, the crab cakes were packed with clean, fresh flavor, and the Wagyu burger was rich, juicy, and deeply satisfying. You could tell the kitchen takes real pride in their craft. You can buy them a round of beers if you like the food. It's on the menu!

Service was great - our waitress was attentive and got our order in perfect, plus was able to split up the checks with no issue. Complimentary rolls were served after we ordered - they are sweet rolls but nothing like Texas Roadhouse. Let's just say I was okay after one roll. I ordered the chicken pesto with baked potato and my daughter ordered the chicken wrap with fries. Everyone else at the table ordered steaks. The chicken was a little tough and overcooked, and the baked potato was very good. Tables outside were a bit wobbly so the table rocked while I cut into my chicken. My daughter liked her fries and chicken wrap. Overall it was a solid meal, but don't think we'll be back.
