    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.

    Small town hospitality and home style cooking. You can't go wrong. Definitely my new EKU breakfast spot.

    On a family vacation looking for home cooked food. Worth the extra 5minutes off the expressway. Awesome food and service.

We waited about 15 min while our waitress chit chatted with another table before coming to our table. We placed our drink and food order at the same it. We also asked if she could clean our table because it was very sticky. She rolled her eyes and said ok. We ordered the Cuban sandwiche and BBQ Cob salad with smoked turkey and egg rolls. The salad was missing the smoked turkey, the cuban was on sourdough and we asked for a bun, we asked for BBQ sauce only and it had mustard and BBQ sauce. The waitress brought out a plate with sliced smoked turkey, no knife on the table to cut it. About 10 minutes later she brought out the correct sandwiche. Everything was delicious. Just wished the service was better.

(We combined it with our own sides and had a 'Thanksgiving' style dinner in February.) Because I recently signed up for Sonny's Rewards and downloaded their app, I received a free appetizer. I decided to try their fried okra which was absolutely delicious! Okra was cooked perfectly and came with a side of ranch dressing which was a nice compliment. (It's not on their menu, but some fried green tomatoes with the same breading that's on the okra would be awesome!) Whether to-go, or dining in, the folks at our local Sonny;s always do it right and the waiters and waitresses are very friendly. If you dine in, order your fries extra crispy! Oh and they have the absolute best coleslaw!

    Food not as good as it used to be. This is the second time my green beans have not been seasoned…read more They were straight from the can. Had the new seasoned rice this time. It needs more seasonings but it went well with my grilled chicken. Chicken was very good. The rest of my party enjoyed their food. Also got the new(returning item) icebox pie.

Meatloaf was dry & mashed potatoes were nasty / looked glazed / like left overs & were almost cold. did not bring biscuits until dinner was served. Food, in general, was not hot but only slightly warm. Made me wait on part of order integral to being able to begin eating.. Did not bring enough jelly for a table of 5. Watied a LONG time for server to come back to ask for jelly and gave up. Asked manager and she only gave me 3 jellies (had someone else deliver them with zero follow up). Wanted Ketchup for meatloaf but server never came back in time for me to ask for it. No one ever asked how the food ws / tasted. Manager never checked back but had the gall to say "come see us again" as we are leaving.
