Brothers and I had burgers and the Kentucky Hot Brown. Tater tots and waffle fries were delicious. Drank some Woodford and had some good conversation. We had just traveled from Warren, OH and were starving. This place did not disappoint.

Cute bourbon bar with lots of bourbon choices. Not a big menu to choose from...

I have to say this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I knew we should have just left after it took 10 minutes to get our waters but I was trying to give the place a chance and they seemed semi busy. Our mixed drinks were overpowered by too much alcohol in them (might as well have ordered straight shots), the batter on the fried green tomatoes and catfish was over cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside I was afraid of breaking a tooth, my husband's burger he ordered well done came out medium rare but he said it was still ok, they did have good fries though. The staff seemed miserable, weren't very attentive, unkempt and unwelcoming (aside from the hostess she was great and joyful). I understand that the staff can't do much about other patrons being loud but the table behind us were extreme to the point it sounded like they were screaming in your ear and were wasted but from the way they overpour the drinks I can see why. The table next to us were unamused as well and couldn't hear each other to have a conversation between themselves either. I didn't bother finishing my food and left with a migraine. It was a waste of time and $70. We won't be back and I don't recommend this place but if you are dead set on trying it out, don't let them sit you in the bar area, don't order anything batter dipped, don't order mixed drinks unless you just want to get trashed but a straight shot is going to be cheaper and good luck getting a decent waitress. It was a disappointing experience overall and ruined the nice birthday dinner was trying for. You're better off going to Bourbon on Main, Longhorn or Cattleman's.

Could’ve been between shift changes, but…
Service was slow, waitress was also hostess, other tables were taken care of.
Fried chicken wasn’t fresh fried and inedible tough in middle as though microwaves.
Other dishes looked good and massive servings but can’t recommend and won’t go back

Good food, had an issue but it was resolved very well and we'd visit again. Tortellini was probably the best out of all our meals with chicken tenders following. Yummy crispy batter!
