The service was warm and attentive without being over the top, they really make you feel taken care of. The food was solid. My steak was cooked just the way I asked, juicy and flavorful, and the sides were delicious (the kind you actually finish). The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt the timing on the courses could've been a little smoother ,not a big deal, just something they could improve. But overall, it's definitely a spot worth visiting. Good food, good ambiance, and great for a nice dinner out. I'd absolutely go back.

My…read moretop-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I stopped by here for dinner last Wednesday on a pretty muggy, rainy evening on our way from the SE Appalachia section of KY to Irvine, KY. It was conveniently located right off 15, and despite the meh weather, the place was easy to spot largely because there were a lot of cars in the parking lot - a compliment to the restaurant and its food, or the only game in town? Based on our experience, probably a little bit of both. Definitely does have the roadhouse vibes; it's very spacious and kind of dark in there, with a bar to the right of the entrance and the vast majority of the acreage dedicated to a large dining area on the left. We were seated immediately and after the meal took advantage of the cool map situation by the bathrooms where, if you requested a pushpin from one of the employees, you placed it on the map to show where you came from. Already oodles of NJ representatives on there, which is unsurprising. The random North Dakota pushpin was a bit of a shock, but I guess they travel too. The menu was pretty large but I was immediately drawn to the Fried Catfish w/ Hush Puppies entree, along with the tater skins app, which our waitress went out of her way to compliment. The Catfish was decent; as you can see from the accompanying picture, it was a huge portion and I took a sizeable chunk of it to go (where I think I eventually threw it out because it's not really road trip friendly). Coincidentally (or not, given where we were in the country) I'd had some hush puppies the night before at a hotel in Blacksburg, VA, and these were better. Those others were over-fried but also had mac and cheese stuffed in them, so these basically had better texture but not as much flavor. The mac and cheese was a real low point, unfortunately. Not dissimilar to the hush puppies, they were super tasteless and a bit watery. They had a bit of breading/crumb topping, but it really didn't do anything to improve the situation - definitely something for them to work on. The taters were just okay; usually the issue with them is that they're in the deep fryer for too long (which is not an issue for a lot of people, I suspect), but these I thought actually weren't cooked enough. The interiors were a little tough so the potatoes could have used a little more time in the oven or fryer. Service was solid. Our waitress was very nice and happily contributed her thoughts/opinions on different items of the menu, which my chum loves to seek out when we're in a new, unfamiliar place. I was starting to get a little tired by this point in the day so it was nice to have efficient, quick turnaround times for everything. The prices were decent as well, which probably isn't too surprising given that we were still pretty far away from Lexington and other, more populated areas. This was fine for what it is, and my preference is always to go local when you're traveling through small town USA in lieu of the chains. This wasn't incredible, but we enjoyed our time here and left a literal physical reminder of our time here with the aforementioned pushpin.

I went here with my parents for my dad's birthday. My dad is in love with their steak. I was…read moresurprised, as this seems to be the type of place that is a bar first and a restaurant second. I do believe we were the only people in there eating. We went around 7:00 pm on a Saturday night. There might have been 15 other people there. Looks aside, the food wasn't terrible. I have certainly had better steaks, but their salad bar, though tiny, was actually good. We also had an appetizer called cheese balls that wasn't bad. It was essentially deep fried cheddar cheese, similar to cheese curds. The menu is very small. They don't have much else besides appetizers and steaks, plus a few sandwiches. Strangely, they have frog legs. I tried one, and it was actually one of the best I've ever had. If I ever go back, I will certainly be getting an order. It was a bit uncomfortable to eat here. I felt like the other patrons were staring us down. Like I said, it's a bar first, so those people were probably regulars. The table I was sitting was a little sticky, but the waitress was nice. The people in there were smoking, so that might be a dealbreaker for some. There was a pool table, a few games, and a stage full of musical equipment. I think the kitchen shuts down at 9:00 pm, but the bar stays open until midnight. There was a band getting ready to play just as we left. I think you have to pay a cover charge to stay in the place past 9:00.

My girlfriend asked if they had any amber beer on tap. The server said yes and pointed out her suggestion so we ordered it. When it came to the table we tasted it and it clearly was not an amber beer. We looked up the brand online and found it was a pale ale. When we pointed her mistake out to the server they were dismissive and never offered to correct the mistake. Not the end of the world but if you bring the wrong beer you should swap it out for the correct product. The food itself was pretty good. Great ribs, side salad and loaded baked potato. The pulled beef was dry but still had a decent flavor.
