    Wallace Station is absolutely worth the stop. I had the country ham sandwich and the bean soup, and both were excellent. The sandwich was packed with flavor, and the bean soup was hearty, homemade, and the perfect pairing. The atmosphere is laid back and full of Kentucky charm, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're passing through Midway or looking for a great local lunch spot, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back!

    Food was disappointing. We should not have ordered the "local" speciality, the inside out hot brown. It was very bland a smothered in a plain thick white tasteless gravy. Now we know what white cheddar Mornay is. Just say nay. Same for the potato salad. While tipping is optional, it's a choice when paying at the counter before you are served. The service amounts to a kid yelling your name and dropping off your food. We asked for catsup and we were told where to find it. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade. Ample parking even for large trucks. I'd go back, but order something different.

    Wallace Station is a lunch institution! We popped in at 11 and were in front of the lunch rush and waited no time for our food. The country ham and pimento sandwich was loaded with flavor! Others in our group ordered the Rachel and turkey club and everyone left sated and happy. The sweet tea was delicious and freshly made, and the Miss Vickie's chips were the perfect finishing touch on it all. Wallace Station is come-as-you-are comfy casual and has indoor and outdoor seating so you can have a laid back and lazy picnic table lunch, or a slightly faster paced deli counter style in the hustle and bustle inside.

    Had a really nice summer afternoon lunch date with my husband here! I got the chicken salad, he got the fried chicken sandwich, and we shared fried pickles. Will definitely be back!! Beautiful location and great service

    Really good quick service. The big blue burger was really good. Got it on rye bread and it was 8/10. Will be back to try the fish of the day which is their specials on Friday's. But let's get straight to the money maker, chocolate bourbon pecan pie, 10/10. It's just worth going to get the pie. Also the catfish sandwich was 8/10! Get the pie and thank me later. Also sit outside if it's nice, they have a great patio area to sit in.

    Love this place! On a beautiful Saturday afternoon it can be crowded but they accommodate! The line moves quickly and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Today the parking lot was full, but we didn't feel too crowded and we didn't have to wait too long. The country ham and pimento cheese sandwich is the one that was on the Best Things I've Ever Eaten on the Food Network and it is incredible. The bread is from the Midway School Bakery, and it is delicious. I highly recommend Recomended!

    It doesn't get much more Kentucky than Wallace Station nestled in the heart of Kentucky horse country surrounded by thoroughbred horse farms. This is one of Chef Ouita's amazing restaurants. She sources all fresh ingredients from local Kentucky farms. I absolutely love Wallace station for their burgers. They were even featured by guy fieri for one of these such burgers. I also love their homemade desserts made by midway bakery just down the street. The lemon bar is truly the best one I've ever had. This restaurant has a small inside but pretty large deck to sit on outback and now they have a larger covered section. It's one of my favorites and I'd highly recommend it to locals and those traveling to Ky!

    Was a line out the door, and I can see why. Was recommended by our tour guide at Lane's End Farm. Food was amazing and fairly fast considering how busy they were. Will go back next time we are in the area

    This was an impromptu stop for a late lunch, and Wallace Station did not disappoint! It was crowded inside due to a recent thunderstorm, but a table opened up just in time. Hubby ordered the Big Brown Burger with fries, one of Guy Fiero's top 5 burgers, and I had a panini-grilled County Ham and Pimento Cheese on whole wheat with orzo salad. Hubby said it was one of the best burgers he ever had! The fries were perfectly cooked too. My sandwich was very with sliced tomato inside. We finished the meal splitting a sorghum cookie; yum!

    The store carries several treats that I can  imagine my great grandmothers preparing for a budget-friendly dessert.

    As with all the DDD Guy Fieri featured places, I tried what he had recommended here: The Big Brown burger was huge! The beef was well cooked. I personally would have been okay with a medium well patty. I only had a bite to sample the triple meat (beef patty, bacon, and ham. I like a fresh tomato on my burgers and the cheddar mornay was a delicious complement to the sandwich. The staff were friendly and helpful. What I enjoyed the most, and the reason I would come back is hands-down the deck patio surrounded by mature trees and a yard with a rustic, dilapidated barn. It was picturesque and reminded me of places my parents would have taken us on Sunday afternoon drives during my childhood. Adding perfection to my experience at Wallace Station was the live performance of my nephew and his wife, David Austin and Baylee Morgan.

    Sweet ice tea!

    Great neighborhood place! We've been here before. The food's great and the service is top shelf too. Check out our pics from this visit.

I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

The atmosphere is super cozy and we felt welcomed from our first steps in. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we met Michaela who took fabulous care of us for the evening! We settled in to a couple of their specialty cocktails (midwinters night dream and cardamaro manhattans - yummy I'll say) and the Brussel Sprout starter. Let me say to come hungry because the portions are large but yummy. The sprouts are a meal all by themselves! But there's more! I had the porcini rubbed filet and Teresa had the cabbage confit. Both portions were sizable and while I know she loved her cabbage, I was in heaven with a perfectly prepared filet that just melted in my mouth. Plus the asparagus spears and the Okinawa sweet potato mash were perfect accompaniment! Sadly, there was so much goodness we ended up bringing some home and we'll have to come back for dessert and another menu sampling. All in all a very memorable experience and a great place for a birthday dinner! But we'll be back just because! Special closing shout out to Michaela for taking such great care of us.

    I stopped in here for lunch with two buddies after spending some time at a nearby distillery…read more(Bluegrass Distillers). It was around 1 PM on a Thursday and they were doing good business. We were seated right away inside. They have patio dining, too, but it was hot! Casual place with nothing much to talk about visually. But, comfortable and the staff were welcoming. Our waiter answered our menu questions and offered suggestions when asked. All three of us ended up choosing the Cuban with Cole Slaw. And, we got a side of Onion Rings for the table. The food was good and the sweet tea was cold and refreshing. I enjoy Cuban and Reuben sandwiches and try them when I find them on menus. Their version of a Cuban comes on a bun, not the traditional pressed and grilled Cuban bread or other soft, airy bread. So, it was messy to eat and didn't offer that dense Cuban treat I enjoy. It was delicious, don't get me wrong, we all liked it. But it isn't a Cuban Sandwich by culinary standards. I've had food from The Brown Barrel at events where their food was brought in and it was all good, too. They also have an attached bottle shop where you can buy good bourbon at heavily inflated prices. Overall, this is a solid place for a meal and I'll go back when in the area.

There was no parking in their parking lot, so we had to drive down the hill and try our luck with street parking, then walk back up about 5-7 minutes to get into the restaurant. A bit of a pain, especially since the restaurant was only about 50% full. The host or person at the front desk was hiding - sitting on the floor on his phone. We had to lean over the counter to ask him to get up so we could ask him to seat us. He ended up being our server as well, after he literally argued with a coworker who walked up while we were inquiring about a table. "I just took the last two damn tables, isn't it your turn?" doesn't inspire confidence that you're a welcome guest. I ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown. When in Rome, right? The menu says you can get it with Mornay sauce or Kentucky Hot Brown sauce. I asked the waiter which was better - he said the Hot Brown sauce. Sounds great! It came out with the mornay sauce. It was still good, but I was a wee bit disappointed. My companions enjoyed their meals. I picked up a reasonably priced bottle of Sazerac Rye on the way out, since they didn't have any left at the distillery when I was there earlier in the visit.

I learned this the hard way when I ordered Jimmy John's only vegetarian sandwich option, got home, and discovered it was stuffed with chicken. I called the store and spoke to "David," who identified himself as the senior manager. David first informed me I was mistaken--he remembered making the sandwich and was sure there was no chicken in it. Bold claim, considering I was holding the chicken-filled sandwich and a receipt clearly marked The Veggie. Once confronted with reality, David explained that while any sort of refund was impossible, he could offer partial store credit. Partial. Store. Credit. For a sandwich I paid for but did not receive. David assured me the store has no obligation to refund an undelivered item, which is... an imaginative interpretation of basic commerce. Vegetarians--and anyone who prefers their food orders to resemble what they actually ordered--may want to steer clear of the Versailles Jimmy John's.

While waiting my turn, a car blatantly cut the line and pulled up to the window ahead of me. I immediately told the staff not to give my order to that vehicle, making it absolutely clear that the person had skipped the line and was not me. Despite my warning, the employee at the window handed my mobile order directly to that car -- right in front of me. No verification, no double-check, nothing. I watched someone else drive off with the food I paid for, and the staff acted like it was no big deal. The worst part, they couldn't refund my money on the spot (2-3 business days). So Jimmy John's allowed an individual who purchased nothing, commit theft, then technically stole my payment as they wouldn't refund the money. This is completely unacceptable. At minimum, orders should be verified -- especially mobile orders where names and order numbers are provided for a reason. It's not just careless service; it's disrespectful to customers who follow the rules and pay ahead. I expect better from a national brand like Jimmy John's. I regularly frequented this location. However, based on this experience, I will not be returning.
