Came as a big group after a conference literally over one year ago. I ordered a patty melt with extra onions and ooh boy they delivereeddddd. I love onions so much, the grilled onions were delicious I wish I could go back and enjoy it once more but I live in Missouri... I still think about it. Also the desserts were so yummy!!! But the patty melt extra onions.... I still remember her...

I want to like this place. Every time I have been in the service is horrible. The food is good sometimes not the others. Tonight they ignored us as we waited to be seated. Said they were busy. No the staff is lazy!!!
Being in a rush, this place understood the assignment and took care of us! Our waiter, who I did not catch his name on accident, did an incredible job of making sure we were taken care of. Fried pickles are a must order! The burgers were so big and your money's worth.
Service was great, our server was was friendly and attentive (restaurant was empty-it was 530-until a tour group arrive for pre plated meals)...food however...Chili and side of grits were barely warm, catfish was mostly breading (1 of 2 pcs was all breading w a sliver of dry fish btwn, other not much better). Was excited to try Zims but would not return
It also needs an exterior sign, was difficult to find w only a small frosted name above the large courthouse door

I booked a 7:30 business meal for 7 on a Wednesday. We were seated in the Thirsty Fox, which had a cozy, rustic ambience. The food and service were excellent.
The restaurant was cute and the food was good but the service was horrible. We had a reservation and waited 15 minutes before we were acknowledged and seated by the hostess. We waited 30 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress. It just got worse from there. Overall, we were there for 2 hours and made for a really frustrating meal.
Super friendly staff!!

We were referred by a local from one of our distillery tours. Good food, nice ambience. Easy to find. We enjoyed ourselves!
We live the vibe here. The decor is well done and the service was spot on. We had brunch and I started with house made expresso which was excellent. The eggs Benedict and bologna sandwich were fantastic. The tradition farm breakfast was very good as well. We’ll be back.

Although it’s not my first time here I’ve never made a review so I came with a friend for lunch. Wish I got more/better pictures. My friend got dessert which she loved and I got fried pickles and the blackened catfish came with rice onions and tomato based sauce. It was just ok now both times I’ve been here. The fried pickles were probably the best. It was just myself and one other table but service was a little slow. It’s in a great spot downtown with outdoor and indoor seating.

Great place to eat. We both got their shrimp and grits. The best shrimp and grits we have had. Outstanding. Great service. Highly recommend.
For a recent lunch outing (around noon) I was surprised to find that two of my menu choices could not be fulfilled. There were not a lot of customers in the restaurant but service was somewhat slow. The food was pretty good with the exception of the cheese grits. The consistency was good but I could not detect any cheese taste in them. Not a bad experience but could have been better.
We had Sunday brunch there. The decor is fun and welcoming. To start with, I had the house made expresso and it was very good. The eggs Benedict were spot on and my friend had the bologna sandwich and he loved it. We just like the vibe there. We'll be back.
Great food made with local ingredients. Very affordable and convenient. A great choice before a play at the Opera House, or a concert/basketball game at Rupp. We will be back!
