Food was decent, but pretty high priced for what it was. Service was slow. We waited several minutes before someone came out of the back to seat us and was just about to leave. Not sure why, there were only 3 tables seated. Nice atmosphere. Over all it was ok.

I adore this restaurant. The ambiance is amazing and the service is always exceptional. Their food is delicious and their menu rotates depending on what is available at the time. Local artists have their art displayed for sale, which makes this place feel even more special as it changes throughout the year.

This a great spot to eat for lunch or dinner. The service was fantastic, and the place has really cool and welcoming vibe. The burgers were fantastic. They make their burgers with locally sourced beef from Hill Valley Farms in Owensboro, Kentucky. They also have a great selection of craft beer. The succotash was the best I’ve had. I can’t wait to go back and try some more items off their menu!

One of the best meals I’ve eaten in a long time. We had the hot brown fries (must get), smoked meatloaf, and Cuban. All the food was perfectly-seasoned. Addictive quality. 10/10!!

I highly recommend visiting. I’ll definitely be returning. The food was familiar but creative and very well executed. The chef must be quite skilled to put these dishes together so well. I enjoyed the calm atmosphere with soft guitar being played live in the background.

Before my last visiti had only had take out from here. Mainly the burger week burger which was awesome. This time I only stopped in for a drink as my children were auditioning for a musical next door. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I definitely will come back here for sometime and eat in.

We’ve been here multiple times (date night or with 3 kids). We have had amazing food and service each and every time. The only knock I have for this restaurant is when you order pimento cheese…double the bread because 2 pieces isn’t enough for the amount of cheese they give.

The food was delicious. They also have local artwork in the restaurant. We each got something different so we could all try multiple things. I had the smoked meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans! So good! If you are in Owensboro KY you should try this restaurant out.
