“Outside of the limited hours this place is worth it. We were greeted quickly. The cook was friendly and you watch your food cooked right in front of you. Great experience overall and we will be back. We got the Spare Burger and the Ribeye Sandwich w grilled onions and cheese. I would have added pictures of the food, but it didn't last long enough.“

“Walking in at this establishment, it’s a throwback to the late 80’s and early 90’s. It looks awesome. The music they’re playing here is upbeat. The staff here are really sweet. The 5-way is amazing and so is the cheese coney.“

“I love the food, the staff, the atmosphere and the rewards. I just wish that the rewards could include the salads or the price of the coney could be put towards whatever you want to put it to. I'm trying to lose weight and I love the salads and I go 2 or 3 times a week to get them. I end up either giving away or losing out on my free coney.“

Yesterday it was just the two of us, and today we came back with a group of 10. Jess took care of us both days and was outstanding, as always. She’s incredibly attentive, always gets everything right, and her positive attitude and warm smile make the whole experience even better. The food was top-notch, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made it the perfect spot to enjoy college basketball and great company.“

“Chat GPT had directed us here on Saturday the 4th. The food was great! My son and I each had the Salmon with Sweet Potato fries. We had both flown in from 2 different states for a couple of attractions. After the Salmon we finished off a huge slice of Carrot Cake. The best I have ever had. Annie M was very attentive, kind and had a very happy face. For everyone, actually. I just wanted to say how pleased and surprised we were with how good everything was. And I also wanted to compliment Annie M.“

“If you want to have a unique experience I have just the restaurant for you. Travelers Table just opened in Fort Thomas and its a culinary trip around the world. Angie the bartender is welcoming and helpful in choosing dishes. From starters to desserts there is food from various parts of the world. The plates are tapas style and .can't to be shared.
We started out with Muhammara from Syria. Its a delicious dip served with warm pita.
Next we got the Country Pate from France. It was a favorite of both of us.
Our most unusual dish, Adjarian Khachapuri from Greece was a bread boat stuffed with cheese and an egg yolk on top which is smeared across the bread when its served. The cheeses were tasty and the dish is gilling.
Lastly, we had the Gambas Al Ajillo from Spain. It was 4 shrimp in a delicious sauce accompanied by baguette bread.
They also have a drink menu, which we tried several, that, are from various parts of the world.
The chef owner is the genius behind the menu.
We can't wait to go back.“

“I never knew this spot was here until after seeing them on the news recently. My family and I stopped in to try it out and we were so impressed. The food was great and the staff was not only friendly but patient with my grandchildren as well. I have two that are extremely picker eaters and the devoured the tenders. I can not remember the owners name I think it was Phyllis please forgive me if I'm wrong but she was such a class act. She personally came out to check on everything and make sure we glad everything we needed. In a world full of the art of customer service being lost this place made a lasting impact on myself and my family. Our youngest is teething so as any parent or grandparents know with young children it can be stressful when they aren't feeling well in public. The owner made sure we felt welcome and just over and beyond what I would of expected. the atmosphere had a home town feel. Not sure if you will ever see this post but thank you for having a place that family's can enjoy.“

Happy hour went until 7 pm and they had live music on the weekend staring at 8 pm. Service was good but tight with the bartenders mixing drinks and serving the food from the kitchen. Lots of regular patrons present .“

“My friend and I always enjoy eating at Anderson First Watch but this morning it was especially nice because of our waiter Jordan. He was friendly and attentive. When he delivered my friend's food, he told me he sent mine back because it didn't look up to standards. He then brought me the potatoes so I'd have something to eat while they redid my omelet. I'm grateful for people like Jordan and his supervisor who came out to talk with us. They remind me like if good.“

“Pepper Pod is the best. I have relished my every visit there for decades. It's a diner: don't be snobs about it and complain that a slight variation in a pancake did not taste like filet mignon. I wish they were still 24/7. I love the food and atmosphere, plus: they always have the most charming and adorable waitresses. I'm currently feeling down about my life, and so I have decided to visit the Pepper Pod soon.“

“Good old neighborhood joint; but really fun place; great service; great burgers; Owner Joe is super helpful and friendly. Each visit I meet terrific local folks as well. Come over folks. l“
