The establishment is in the downtown part of Lawrenceburg. There's on the street parking that's free ( no parking meters.) The bakery/delicatessen is immaculate as far as cleanliness. There is ample seating in a comfortable atmosphere. The offerings are soup and sandwiches, salads and desserts. The staff was extremely friendly and outgoing. The clientele today was several groups celebrating Christmas. I had a spicy Italian hoagie sandwich that was wonderful. My friend had a panini that he said was enjoyable. It's a great place if you're in Central Kentucky.

My wife and I were pretty excited about a new experience and a fun lunch. The place was disappointing to say the least. The servers weren't really friendly or outgoing. The value was severely lacking- a reported 5 ounce burger (looked small) and literally about 10 crinkle cut fries, a 12 ounce drink served in styrofoam and a vanilla malt to go costs us about $50. I tried to say thank you to the server on my way out but she was busy having a loud conversation with another employee and didn't notice me. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables. The menu has a variety of sandwiches like cod fish and a fried bologna plate. But most of the menu was different burgers with cute names. The web said they served breakfast all day, there was no breakfast menu on the table and we didn't ask. All in all I'm glad I went to satisfy my curiosity but I would not seriously recommend this place to people visiting Frankfort. You would get a better deal and probably service at Hardee's.

Everything was as expected, but looking at the options if you want more of a traditional sub sandwich I would recommend going for the Italian or Turkey as those come with lettuce/tomato, extras etc.

I was told their specialty was their Kentucky Burgoo so of course that's what I had to get. Burgoo is the traditional stew of Kentucky. It's filled with slow cooked shredded beef, potatoes, and veggies. This was the first time I have ever had Burgoo but I'm sure it will not be my last since it was very good and filling. For sure a hearty stew. I also got to try the The Mash House which is their version of a Pimento Cheese Sandwich. They to not skim on the Pimento Cheese either. Now was it the best Pimento Cheese I have ever had? No but was still a tasty sandwich. The Small Batch which is a Beef Brisket sandwich was also good. Quality brisket with some nice fatty pieces mixed in there as well. Good move on them too using sliced fatty brisket because everyone knows that the best way to do it. If anyone says otherwise they are wrong. For sure a great please to grab lunch at the distillery.

My food came out hot and delicious within about 10 minutes. The ambiance was casual and inviting, and the staff was very friendly. Overall, a great enjoyable experience, and I would definitely eat here again in the future. But also there's limited parking as it is street parallel parking near by here. But well worth it.
