Great Kentucky Hotbrown!!!!!!
Love Bristol, but missing Ken.
We stopped in here quite literally by accident while taking in the sites. Close to two major landmarks. Great service by Marcus our server, had great menu recommendations, friendly knowledgeable about the area and history. Our first time trying the famous Hot Brown, and Marcus recommendation of the Derby Pie. Great hot fresh food, everything was amazing. Highly recommend 10/10.
The Bristol Bar & Grille Downtown features a varied menu with tasty dishes like artichoke fritters, pork Dijonnaise, and lemon cheesecake. It is a convenient choice for dinner before performances at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. The service is generally prompt and attentive, with many guests appreciating the efficient staff, especially when time is a factor. Recent reviews highlight delicious food, with many dishes receiving praise, including the green chile wontons and Woodford Reserve Bacon Grilled Cheese, which are noted for their satisfying flavors and textures. However, some customers have encountered issues with seating arrangements and parking validation, impacting the dining experience. A few guests remarked that certain dishes, such as wontons and pork chop, were not perfect—wontons being cold and lacking flavor, and the pork chop being a little dry. One reviewer mentioned that the restaurant could use a facelift as it looks worn out. Overall, many enjoy the experience here and recommend it for good food and excellent service, though some note room for improvement and desire for a bit more variety in the menu.
