27 Best American Restaurants in Frankfort

“I highly recommend the shrimp and the halibut fish it’s amazing never had better food, especially that shrimp. It is awesome, and the staff is very pleasant and courteous if you are ever in the area of Frankfort Kentucky I recommend that you try Lime Water Restaurant I promise you you will not be disappointed.“

“Never again! Ordered salad from the menu. It did not have basic ingredients that were listed on the menu. Rude server. No apology.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Dock was absolutely wonderful! The staff are wonderful, service is quick, and Vanessa has an amazingly creative menu that is to die for. Will definitely be coming back again and again!! 💕“

“I am never disappointed eating at Tammy's Diner. it's friendly and cozy and the food has always been amazing. the portions are great and the prices can't be beat. it is real, home cooked food and makes me feel like I'm back at home in the holler every time I eat here. can't speak enough good about this place.“

“Absolutely loved my experience here! We went through the gift shop and picked up our favorites. The website tells you what's in stock for the day before they open. There were discounted whiskey glasses and a free root beer when I went in. There's always a tasting of some kind at the back of the gift shop, and just outside the giftshop, upstairs there's another free tasting of some of the things they sell. If you want to get something rare you should get there and line up early. Cars start to line up at 8, they let us in at 8 to park. Then there's another line in person outside, so bring some shade and water!“

“Just found this place while on a road trip from California. Fell in love with it and Summer was awesome and so friendly. Food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. Highly recommend.“

“Service was a little slow, but decent. Food was decent but on a Sunday morning they were out of biscuits and hash browns. Definitely could not got if there was any inclement weather as the inside is not Ada accessible, our son in a wheelchair could not get inside. ADA is not grandfathered in, so this issue should be fixed so this establishment is accessible to all patrons

Parking: Very tight parking and most spots you have to back onto the road to leave

Wheelchair accessibility: Not at all accessible except for patio seating“

“Exactly what you want from a small brewery. Great beer (had a few generous samples) and some really cool locals to steer you in the right direction. My wife and I had a pint then took a six pack to go along with a DORA beer for a walk around town. Meg is awesome! Will make this a regular stop on our 'every so often' visits to Buffalo Trace“

“We were able to reserve seating for 25 for a special milestone birthday and it could not have gone better. Management and staff were attentive and accommodating. Checking in to make sure the set up and everything was satisfactory. We received excellent service and everyone raved about the menu. Top favorites were the salmon, shrimp and grits, ravioli, hot brown, chicken piccata, surf and turf and more!! Several of our guests were from out of town and want to come back. They were very accommodating allowing us to bring in a cake from outside and providing us the necessary dishes and silverware. My husband and I were so appreciative to host our celebration there and we all had a great time! Thank you so very much!!“

“I got the all you can eat catfish, and it was fabulous! also got fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were crisp and wonderful! I don't know our waitress's name, but she was fantastic! No cup ever went empty, and the entire wait staff was awesome! We will be back!“

“Capital Cellars has a GREAT selection of spirits - including LBC! 🧡“

“Had an issue with a crack on my BGE I bought at Wilsons years ago. I Took photos and asked for a warranty claim. Could not be happier. Tom and his team took care of everything. If you are going to buy a Big Green Egg, make sure you see these guys. Thanks“

“I ordered my Thanksgiving lunch this past Sunday. It was delicious. Recommend anybody doing that we are still eating on it. My second year !!!!!!“

“TT was spot on with all her recommendations! She made our experience awesome. If you are going to Bourbon on Main ask for her!“

“I had the salad bar with my meal but my date did not so I offered him mine but the waitress said that was not an option. Fine, but I swear I felt like she cruised our table to make sure we didn't 'violate ' this 'rule'. It did make me feel uncomfortable. The food was very good and cooked well.“

“Never disappoints! The steaks are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful every time. The sides are just as delicious, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure every visit is a great experience. Quality food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere—always worth the trip!“

“The food was good and service was great! My wife and I really enjoyed our late night meal!“

“In this day and age, it is rare to find a fast food restaurant that provides great service and great food at a great price much less do so on a consistent basis. My wife and I recently began dining at the Frankfort Captain D's Versailles Road location and I can not adequately describe just how fantastic our dining experiences have been here. When we find a restaurant that excels in all areas like Staxx (Frankfort), Raising Canes (Nicholasville) and every Chic-fil-a location, we can't wait to sing its praises and look forward to returning. This Captain D's is just that great. The food is always cooked hot and fresh to order, served at your table on actual plates in a spotless restaurant that plays great music. I really can not say enough good things. We drive past another Captain D's that is ten minutes closer to get to this location and will continue to do so. It really feels live a 5-star experience and should probably win the award for best Captain D's in America!“

“Needed 2 orders of crackling with my order and they only had 1 order...really? The fish was good but needed more tarter sauce on it. I can only eat half were I had weight loss surgery but the don't sale a 1 pc sandwich any more..very disappointing ?. Love the sweet tea and I love you can buy it by the gallon. Much cheaper than individual drinks.

Dietary restrictions: They also sale baked fish.“

“I went through the drive through. Service was extremely fast. My food was hot and fresh. The burgers are way better than any other fast food restaurant. I loved the crispy fries, just the right amount of salt too. The shake was really good. I don’t eat the cherry on top. They should ask if you want the cherry, could save on product. I’ll definitely return when I need to grab a quick, inexpensive good tasting meal.“

“Very friendly staff. Awesome food. So glad to be able to support this hometown Mexican restaurant!“

“best customer service around town. they go out of the way to help and make you feel at home. also the food is always hot and fresh“

“I love fried picked from Beef O'Grady Frankfort. Thanks Yall!“

“My son and I had a great lunch, fast, accurate and waitress very attentive to getting our drinks (ice tea) refilled and checking on us.“

“Great meal! Ribs and some of the best mac and cheese out there! Fantastic service too!“
