    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.

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. This is a great hangout spot and a welcome addition to Richmond.

    First of all, shame on Richmond for voting this place 1st (and somehow 3rd) on having the best…read moreburger in town. My husband and I were excited about trying it. 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.
