    Double Bacon Cheeseburger with fries
    Fat Man Reviews K.

    My good buddy Grizz came down wanting to get a burger. So we headed down to Winkler's Stockyard Restaurant. Winkler's is a family-style restaurant offering daily plate lunch specials and off-the-grill favorites. They are located right beside the Bluegrass Stockyards in Richmond, KY. We both ordered the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, encouraged by the owner; I ordered fries while Grizz ordered the onion rings. The fries are thick-cut crinkle fries out of a bag and we agreed they could've used another few seconds to crisp them up and a bit of salt. The burger came with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickle on two-quarter pound patties that were juicy and cooked well with some decent seasoning. The American cheese made for a gooey, salty bite. The veggies were fresh, as was the soft bun. The bacon was chewy, but we agreed that two pieces would have been better. The burger was good-sized, with the right amount of condiments and veggies. The burger-to-bun ratio was pretty good. Grizz's onion rings came out of a bag, but they were fried perfectly, with crispy breading, and the onions are thick enough to stand up to the bite and not pull out of the breading. The breading has a slight sweetness as well. As a side note, Jax, Grizz's son, said his chicken strips were great. Winkler's is open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. They offer fountain or bottled drinks and have homemade desserts every day. The staff and owner are amiable and helpful. It is a small place, so there could be a wait. The Fat Man says that Winkler's Stockyard Restaurant is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

    Great service and affordable prices. Nice home cooking place across from the Richmond Stockyards. Really enjoyed chatting with the locals, and the owner Priscilla was super friendly.

A myriad of toppings are available along with truffle fries. Service was great but you can also order on line, at a kiosk or use the QR code located on every table. The Stallion is pretty basic inside. But the outdoor area is fantastic. Once warm weather hits I expect this to be a popular spot in Richmond. The huge fire table creates a welcoming space. We sampled the Peach Cider and the Dunkel, both excellent. The beer selection is huge. The burger is priced at the high end, but worth every penny.

Came out in torrential weather to do so. We both ordered the 1/4 pound burger with cheddar cheese. He had fries. I had the truffle fries. We ordered different toppings. We both wanted tomatoes, which they were out of. That's ok though. What was not ok was that the meat was flavorful, but almost nonexistent. The brioche bun weighed more than the burger. The cheese was also lacking presence. The truffle fries had no truffle, and left a lingering stench on my hands and a taste on my tongue that would not leave. The best thing I had was the water to try to wash the taste out of my mouth. I would recommend eating at Apollos instead (you have a choice) of having the pickle sandwich that I was unfortunately served. Really cool atmosphere and a good place to host an event, enjoy some brews, but leave the burgers alone.

The only thing that will catch your attention when driving by is the roadside banner mentioning "Open Fridays from 4pm-8pm" -rather poorly designed sign because for years I thought this place was open ONLY Fridays 4-8pm. Today was Friday and I had free time, so I thought I would stop in. When I approached the door, I could see that they are open daytime hours, as well. But without the banner, I never ever would have noticed this place. Anyhow, I ordered Tom's Spicy Burger and a side of onion rings. Delicious burger but neither spicy nor a "Better Burger" -especially for the price. See other reviews for burger description. Kroger's "Private Selection" frozen burger patties taste better and the package of six patties is about the same price as Tom's Spicy. Still, it wasn't bad but it was definitely more pricey than spicy. The onion rings were delicious. I would strongly recommend them as I do prefer battered rather than breaded.They were perfectly fried, great temperature, and they were the highlight of the meal. The fried pickles appetizer was a total waste of $8. Always had deep-fried battered pickle chips at other places. Here? They take a dill pickle spear and slice it long-ways before battering the thin strips and frying. I truly thought they accidentally brought me fried string beans or something. The ONLY detectable flavor was the batter and the ranch dip with the faintest, barely existent hint of dill. I might drop in another time but after a nearly $30 bill for the three items and a drink just for myself, there are other places with a better value. Jackson's comes to mind and they know how to make fried pickles much better!

We started with Fried Pickles and Ranch dressing. The pickle chips were fried well to a golden brown but a little heavy on the batter, leaving the bigger pieces a little soggy in the center. There was a nice cayenne heat kick on the end that was delightful, and they give you a large order. The ranch was out of a bottle but very good. I ordered The Bleu Burger, Mamut Homemade Fries and a side of White Cheddar Cheese Macaroni. Advertised with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions and bleu cheese crumbles. The fries were cooked okay, they could have used a few minutes longer in the fryer, but they were seasoned well. The macaroni was overcooked and slightly mushy, but the cheddar cheese sauce was very flavorful. The bun was stale, not toasted and there was a lot of bread to bite through to get to the burger, but the veggies were fresh. The burger was ordered at medium and came out well done, but it was seasoned okay. The char marks on the burger from the grill added an unwanted acrid flavor. The onions were not caramelized but sautéed and large cut. Instead of coming with Bleu Cheese crumbles it was covered in dressing, making for a messy and an overpowering bite. If the onions were caramelized it would have helped cut through the salty dressing at least. My fiancé ordered the Marinaded Chicken, loaded Sweet Potato and a House Salad. The salad was fine and a nice size with fresh veggies. The sweet potato, cooked well and a good amount of brown sugar and butter was served with it. The chicken marinade and seasoning was really nice, flavorful, and it was juicy, in parts. The other parts had such a hard sear with grill marks and char it made for a burnt taste that overwhelmed the chicken. The chicken could have used a sauce as well. Mamut has a very large menu that offers burgers, tacos, pasta, steak, sandwiches, fajitas and wraps. They serve beer and they have a full bar. The server was very nice and attentive. The Fat Man says that El Mamut Restaurante Bar & Grill is NOT approved.

This nearly-nationwide Wisconsin-originated fast-food chain has a cult-following for their Wisconsin-originated ButterBurgers© (which are actually steaky-tasting burgers on buttered buns). And for a version of Wisconsin-famous squeaky-when-you-bite-them fried cheese-curds, not quite as sharp tasting (or quite as squeaky) as you would get in Wisconsin, but fun to bite! Well, we were in a mood, and went for their bragged-about shredded-chuck pot-roast sandwiches. I am sad to report that we were underwhelmed. The flavor was rather dull, despite the herb&spice cooking marinade, and the texture was not quite fall-apart-tender the way low-and-slow should come out. The cheese curds were ok. And of course we got the yummy flavor-of-the-day frozen custard: Turtle! (vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and toasted pecan). Aaaah :-p Well, the pot roast sandwiches were not thrilling. And we noticed that the Culver's drive-thru receipt is one of those that only lists the total price, not the price of each item. Why? If we were locals, we could have gone back to talk to them about this stuff. So, overall ok, but we can't 5-star this experience.

The older man could have been hired to take orders so not sure the logic in this idea. They definitely should have removed the chili spaghetti when they limited the menu. Also after this experience just stick to shakes & add protein shakes. Burger are not worth it. Even the steak burger looked like a skinny burger. Thankfully there weren't robots making our food in the back. One man on the grill, one fryer guy, in training putting the orders together & a lady manager at the window. Total of 4 employees doing their best. I am very disappointed at this Steak n Shake franchise & corporation itself. I know this is not Las Vegas, but every franchise should equal each other. Quality of food, menu, staff & service, not at this franchise. Ours in Vegas has not changed, however I will not be back here anytime soon. Maybe it's difficult to find employees or maybe cutting back for profit, but this was a waste of $16, time & quality of food I just put in my body. We ordered a Frisco Burger & a single cheese burger w/ onion. The Frisco didn't come w/ sauce, but they were in training so ok. The older man got it fixed asap. Nothing like before & they no longer have baked beans. My cheeseburger was the thinnest patty, like a kids meal. The onion was bigger than the patty. The Strawberry Shake was the only good part.
