“Stopped in for breakfast on the spur of the moment at Merry Go Round yesterday and found this to be a very nice establishment! Got the Breakfast Special which was eggs cooked any way you want, a choice of bacon or sausage, any bread you choose, plus a glass of OJ, all for under $7. They had plenty more early morning choices as well. Service was excellent and friendly, bathroom was spotless, and food arrived quickly. Nothing but nice things to say about this place!“
“I am a very picky person when it comes to where I eat. With that being said I would highly recommend The Carousel. The restaurant was very clean, our waitress as well as other members of the wait staff were very friendly. Our food arrived very promptly and tasted amazing.“
“This place is simply awesome. The food is comfort food with old world Germany traits. The building is a historic old building and is uniquely decorated and well kept and clean. The service is outstanding. All of the staff are fast, courteous, and professional. Very friendly people that are likely their regulars will be here when you come. It is easy to find using Google Maps.“
“The food was really good. The restaurant was clean. The staff did well when I finally got service. It took them about 15 minutes to get our drink order. Our server kept apologizing for running behind. Even though she only had to tables to serve.“
“The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend who’s from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go.As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones.Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL!As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we’re all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don’t judge me.Food:Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL!Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone.Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot.Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.“
“This is a definite "small town Cafe" type of restaurant! Everyone made us feel welcomed...even the regular customers! I'm definitely looking forward to going back! I'm so hopeful that somehow, some way, this restaurant will continue to thrive with the passing of time!!!!“
