Restaurants in Frankfort

“Always amazing food& service! It’s well worth a trip to Frankfort for a beautiful atmosphere and some of the best food in the region.”

“Stopped in while on the bourbon trail. Great place, friendly bartender, and regulars. Great beer & dogs! Definitely will come back next time I’m in town. ??”

“The food was to die for. The service (Wendy) was the sweetest woman to wait on us. Our time to be seated and get food/drinks was so quick. It was a great place to be for our only night in Frankfort. Hopefully we can come back one day!”

“Wonderful atmosphere, laid back with great selection of beer, awesome food trucks, and great trails for hiking/running.”

“Friendly staff. Decent vibes. It's like a slightly classier hometown bar, with many regular locals that still frequent this place after many years.
It does clear out early, so if you want a slightly quieter place, this place might be for you in their later hours.”

“I was just thinking about this place. I moved from Kentucky to North Carolina and I miss the chicken salad and the bourbon pecan pie”

“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 got the Aloha Delight. The service was great. She was incredibly nice and sparked up a conversation. The portion sizes are great, considering the ingredients are top tier quality. And there is a large variety of options to choose from so it’s fit for anyone. And the customers, that I assume are regular customers, were helping me decide so the environment itself is amazing. I will definitely be going back!”

“Itemz are a little Pricey, but what izn't now dayz. The Employeez are Amazing && have alwayz been very helpful anytime I go in there. Definitely the best lil store on Holmes St. They do a great job considering their location.”

“LongHorn Steakhouse in Frankfort is an absolute gem, and if you haven’t tried their Parmesan Crusted Chicken, you’re missing out! It’s hands-down the best – perfectly juicy, topped with that rich, crispy parmesan crust that just melts in your mouth. With consistently amazing food and service, LongHorn never disappoints. Whether it's your first time or your hundredth, you’re in for a treat!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better location, staff, service, food and space for my 45th Birthday celebration. The back room was set up prior to us arriving, we had our personal server all night for the room, drinks were amazing, food was out of this world the private area for my friends and I just to enjoy the moment was priceless. The owner and Chef visited our area to make sure everything was fantastic. To top it off the Strawberry Cake was a dream. It was so lite, creamy and and amazing strawberry flavor. Best birthday Cake. The night did not disappoint. We will return very soon. Appreciated the atmosphere for such a great night. Great job John and staff, you truly hit this one out of the park for my guest and I. Scallops with risotto and Brussels sprouts: flawless. Espresso Martini: perfection 10/10”

“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”

“Couldn't have had a better experience our server (Toni N.) did an Amazing job on making sure we had drinks filled when we ran low, taking empty plates away when we were finished with them, and checking on us regularly to see if we needed anything else. That is just part of the wonderful experience we had. They use to have a dish called a Salsa Club Rollup but haven't had it for years. I usually order a clubhouse grill and customize it to make it like the Salsa Club Rollup. When I ordered it today though, it was Spot On!!! All the previous times, something was wrong but would go with it. However, tonight was like I had stepped back in time and everything on it was PERFECT! The Manager (Matt) was the chef for the night and he was a little worried that he might mess it up. However, Toni N (our server) had wrote down everything exactly as I had explained it to her & he followed her instructions right to a T. I asked to meet the chef (Matt) before leaving and told him that my food was Fantastic. Between the both of them doing an Excellent job, I will Definitely be back for more. If you're ever in the Frankfort Neighborhood, you should Definitely stop in and request Toni N to be your server and get some really Great service. Thank you Applebee's for having such Wonderful Employees like Matt & Toni. A+++”

“Great music and delicious food”

“I give them a 100% . We’ve never been disappointed with what we’ve bought. And the customers service can’t be beat!”

“This is always my favorite spot to visit, work, and be in community in Frankfort. Grateful for the spectacular lattes and refreshing green teas. The pastries knock it out of the park everytime too!”

“Awesome Breakfast and Lunch….always enjoy Melisa’s Family Dinner favorite place to eat…..”

“Had Mami Nachos today they were terrific. Good service and food came out quickly.”

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

“Ice cream is amazing, service was great, they were very kind and fast, the place looks and smells nice and is always clean. Only bad thing is the line bc of how many people go and there's not that much room, but the line goes fast as I said before, they work pretty fast. And it's not expensive at all.

Kid-friendliness: It's an ice cream place and parents and teens go there all the time, service is always patient and kind no matter who you are, how old you are or what you look like! Perfect place to bring your kids for ice cream!

Wheelchair accessibility: They have tables on the bottom floor so if you have a wheelchair and want to eat your ice cream inside it's perfect! There's also tables outside too and only thing not acceptable is the upstairs sitting area.”

“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.”

“Had a delicious lunch at Fusion-so much food, cooked perfectly. I opted for fish, coleslaw and fries. I live in Louisville, but will tell you, when I'm close to Frankfort, I'll be stopping by to try the sushi! The prices were really reasonable priced!”

“First time eating here, I was looking for something new, and I loved the atmosphere, food, staff and even the music, I WILL return, thanks for the wonderful experience ❤️❤️”

“MJ, gave us excellent service! Friendly, personable, attentive and efficient. “”Love their food, salads are so tasty and the pineapple vinaigrette is amazing. Sweet potato fries and grouper fingers excellent. I have never had anything on this menu I didn’t love.”

“Nice folks , enjoyed the hospitality.”

“A good Guinness and Smithwicks draw anytime.”

“The cupcake I got had a different more custardy iceing but good and so many other tempting options I'll go again”

“Love the new baskets. Friendly service too!”

“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!”

“It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when you go inside it’s like a throwback Diner. Everything is clean. The staff is wonderful. I had a cheeseburger and slaw. It was great, and the slaw is the best I have tasted. Go there for a great trip back to a great hometown Diner!!”

“While in town for a wor conference we decided to celebrate a birthday at Rose's and we are so glad we did. Taylor the bartender was busy but never lost her smile and friendly demeanor. The patrons were friendly and helped sign happy birthday to my coworker. The Nashville based Olin humored our birthday request with an amazing Nashville styled rendition of happy birthday. Even the bartender sang a song and can she sing. Amazing talent what a lucky night to visit. If you haven't sat out on the wrap around deck patio with nice wrought iron tables and chairs you need to give it a sit so peaceful and a cool breeze. I have owned to pubs and I can say I highly recommend this place. The vibe is laid back not judgemental and the bartender was super. She knew creative drinks/shots and the bottom fill beer taps made me jealous as all get out. Only suggestion was they need a better sound system (speakers). We had Rockville speakers under the cost of an elegant dinner you have a whomping system. When in Frankfort KY don't miss a chance to visit Rose's and meet Taylor!”

“Great food! Fresh made meal, chips are fresh, salsa is very tasty. Friendly atmosphere and staff provided great service. We will definitely stop by again next time we're in the neighborhood.”

“I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! Food is fresh and hot and an excellent deal! I was surprised by how much food we got for around $25. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.”

“On a recent visit to Buffalo Trace Distillery, we ate lunch at the sandwhich shop on the grounds. My friend and I split a turkey sandwich and chips. Be sure to check the hours as the shop is seasonal and not open every day. It is a great place to relax and soak up some of the great atmosphere after a tour or visit to the gift shop. If you go to eat towards the end of their open time, you might find that they are out of some items which wasn't a big deal for us.”

“If you haven't had their Mushroom Stromboli you're cheating yourself! Last comment is ten years old at least. Just went again tonight. Been eating here 30+ years, it's still awesome. I've never Never had a bad experience there. The pizza is awesome, the fried mushrooms are the best I've ever had and the mushroom stromboli is the absolute best hoagie sammich I've ever had. I miss Bennett but I guarantee he's proud of the quality food that they still serve.”

“Hot, fresh food. Super friendly staff. Thank you!”

“Drinks are delicious and customer service is amazing. Abigail always makes my morning better with her upbeat nature.”

“Couldn't decide what I wanted to order tonight. That's why I got the Pork Three-ways...ribs, pulled pork, sliced pork,slaw, corn bread, and baked beans. The food was very good but tasted better due to our server "Cindy". She always helps us select tasty items and make sure they are prepared perfectly and hot! And yes, I got the banana pudding to go.”

“Had a wonderful time with people i haven't seen in a while. Hope to go back soon they are so nice there and a wonderful time everyone has their.The owners there are wonderful and care about the people who visits there establishment at the ✨✨ Tacklebox and Sport's Bar and Fishing”

“Red Head has always done my cupcakes and cakes and chocolate pies!!! I highly recommend her!! We use her for everything and always will!!”

“The food was delicious, with very little waiting time, and our waiter was so nice! we can't wait to come back.”

“Ahhh this place, my wife n I drive an hr each way to Frankfort atleast twice a week for this lol ? the owner is cool everyone’s always nice (rare right now) just my two cents

Kid-friendliness: My daughters love the apple slaw ?‍♂️”

“My favorite is the chocolate banana pudding shake. I have hypoglycemia and it keeps my blood sugar level and I'm not hungry for 4 hours. I also have IBS so these shakes are great since they are not made with milk.”

“This is the best subway, I have ever been too. Subs are made beyond perfect. I go there every Thursday and get 3 subs. I have ordered in store and on line. No matter how I order, everything every sub is amazing. I will not go to any other subway. The team is also amazing. Thank you all for such amazing service and amazing subs.”

“some good stuff and convenient at most stores I love it”

“I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. They aren't kidding when they said the wings were good. It really was! We had the Teryaki and Bourbon Glaze. The Southwest Eggrolls were delicious!”

“Great staff. Coffee was nice and hot”

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

“I couldn’t wait to give this review! I’m a travel nurse and have been to many Chinese restaurants as it’s one of my top 3 favorites but this is by far the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever eaten at before! The food was hot and fresh and the restaurant was extremely clean! The waitress was exceptional! I would recommend 10/10 if you are in the area and craving some Chinese! You get a 5star from me”

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

“Ordered several pizzas in a variety of crusts and toppings for a work lunch. First time having their pizza and enjoyed all the varieties. Delivery was quick, and they even figured we would need utensils and all the trimmings. I forgot to request, but they put everything needed with the order. The bacon cheeseburger pizza was recommended, so i went with one of those as part of the 8 pizza order. It was very good. I loved their pan crust as well. All in all, would definitely order again. Thanks for feeding my work crowd! Happy, well fed people make life much easier.”

“Mrs. Angela was amazing when the computers went down during dinner rush . She kept everyone entertained with christmas songs and holiday spirit while we waited for them to come back on . She passed out gift cards for our wait and later return with brownies at the end of our meal . Thank you mrs Angela for everything”

“There a little slow inside. Plenty of employees but one at counter. Couple just walking around and they should provide coverage for the counter when the line is backed up.”

“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.”

“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”

“Every since i have tried dunkins coffee honestly i dont drink the coffee here anymore. Its over priced and just not worth it to me. Sorry Starbucks but dunkin won my heart now”

“I travel often, so I have had BR all over. This location is hands down my favorite. It's always clean, the owners are super friendly and know customers by name, and the employees are cheerful and attentive. My daughter has been getting her birthday cakes here for 13 years and each one has been better than the last! I cannot recommend this location enough. Operating hours are 11am-9pm, so pop by if you are in the area. You won't regret it!”

“I stop by for breakfast at this particular Hardee’s in Frankfort periodically on my way into work. I don’t know the name of the kid who’s been working the window the last couple of months or so in the mornings, but he is phenomenal. Always friendly, courteous, checks the food in the bag and repeats it to you as he’s handing you the bag. I’m always glad when I see he’s at the window.”

He was friendly and attentive and made sure that anything we needed was taken care of quickly. If I could give the service 10 stars I would. This man deserves a raise!”

“White Castle - IYKYK :-)

Frankfort may be known as the The Horse Capital of the US or the home of Buffalo Trace distillery, but the real gem is White Castle. Every time we're through this area, we stop and get our cheese slider fix, nothing better than a bag of burgers from WC!”

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