34 Best American Restaurants near Midway

“We enjoyed a fantastic New Year's Eve meal at Heirloom in Midway, KY. The service was superb, atmosphere warm, and the food exceptional, on par with meals we have had in Paris and Rome. The four course meal was perfection. The lobster cappelletti was devine and the Chateaubriand Au Poivre was cooked perfectly and was tender and flavorful. The Dubai Sundae was the prefect ending to such a wonderful meal ! We commend the chef and staff for such a wonderful experience . We will definitely eat here again and highly recommend.“

“I had never been to this place before but we went for Thanksgiving today and it was FANTASTIC! We had a reservation for the 12:30 seating, and were seated and in line for the buffet by 12:45. The front staff seemed pretty stressed but they did a great job. I’m looking forward to going back to try their regular menu.“

“The staff were very kind, helpful, and friendly, and the food was very tasty!“

“We came to Rodney's on Broadway last night for our 7th anniversary and every bite of our meal was phenomenal and the cocktail was ahhhmazing!!! I had the roasted duck (perfectly crispy and incredible port reduction for the win!) with a panko crusted baked potato and it was all absolute perfection! My partner had the fried chicken livers with cognac peppercorn sauce and absolutely loved every bite!!! When you make your reservation, ask for Stacy to be your server ~ she is FABULOUS! Super friendly and kind, very attentive … personality and hospitality plus without being stuffy! She made it a perfect evening and experience! I can’t remember what the special cocktail was called but it has orange vodka, cranberry vodka, pomegranate liqueur, ginger liqueur and blood orange ginger beer! It was one of the absolute best drinks I have ever had! And the BREAD!!!!! Soooo freaking good!!! Tender on the inside, crusty on the outside and served warm with a plate of olive oil, herbs, balsamic and the thinnest slivers of the most gloriously delicious Parmesan cheese! I am usually a bread and butter girl over dipping bread in oil and it was out of this world! I want that exact Parmesan every single day! And they gave us a beautiful anniversary card with a very touching note written inside! As we were leaving, Stacy said “See you for your 8th anniversary!” With this amazing food and service, she sure will!“

“The best damn Stromboli I’ve ever had. There’s no words on how happy I was to go twice and have the same flavor. The waitresses are always so kind. Never leaving a drink empty and so easy to talk to. Coming to Galvins is always a treat when we visit home.“

“Liam's Restaurant has a little bit of everything. Make a request, they aim to please ,“

“A favorite place to eat with lots of gluten free options. They have great “allergy” protocols in place (coming from someone who is a sensitive Celiac) Their steaks and whipped potatoes are my favorites!“

“Love this place! One of our favorites in Lexington!“

“Trey was wonderful! I had my mind made up on what I wanted to eat but he suggested a dish that he say he believes is not ordered enough and WOW was he right! The strawberry French toast was incredible and our overall experience for our anniversary brunch was wonderful.“

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

“My husband and I came in tonight for an early Mothers Day celebration. they were PACKED but still provide amazing service! We got seated quickly, our server was amazing, our drinks and apps came out within a few minutes, my margarita was delicious and not skimping liquor, and our food was amazing! The manager came by and we praised our experience. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had. My food could not have been taken care of worse. I ordered a 16 oz. sirloin cooked medium, and was brought a well done steak. Not really a big deal, it happens. They returned the steak and a manager brought me out another one. I cut through it and it looked better and told the manager it was alright. The more I cut through it, the more I was able to tell that it was just as well done as the first steak. I let my waitress know (who was very kind and very helpful and genuinely felt sorry) and had her return it and not worry about bringing me another one. The manager returned to tell me that “since the first steak was returned half eaten, I can discount your bill”. The steak was not half eaten. I returned both steaks almost completely untouched and maybe tried 1-2 bites of each to see if it was okay to eat, so I wasn’t really sure where she got that I had eaten half of the first steak. Again, the waitress we had, who I think was a blonde lady named Bobbie (I could be wrong with that name) was very kind and felt sorry, but the manager I dealt with felt like she was very irritated to have to deal with me having 2 wrongly cooked steaks. She took off the price of the steaks off my bill, but still made me pay for my soda. No apology and nothing to make up for me sitting in there for over an hour and not getting any dinner. I guess the manager just wasn’t having it. Again, thank you to the waitress we had, she was very kind. But I feel like I should’ve at least had my soda taken care of for them screwing up my dinner and ultimately not getting anything at all. Very disappointed“

“A stop here is an essential part of any American road trip.“

“The ratings were high so we went. So glad we did!! We both loved our lunch! The pork barbecue and the ribs, along with the sides, were delicious! Thanks!!“

“Ran by the most lovely couple. I walked in and everyone there knew the owners by name and was very comfortable. Been traveling for over a month and this was the most at home I’ve felt this trip.
Food was just also really bomb and high homemade quality.“

“I cannot say enough about the kindness of the staff here. My father had a medical emergency while waiting on dinner and the staff dialed 911 for me within seconds and offered to box up our food because we couldn’t stay to eat it. They also closed the restaurant while the EMT’s were working on Dad. I cannot say enough about the kindness of the employees/ staff. I have eaten there on other occasions too and the food has always been excellent.“

“Staff was wonderful! Everything that service industry staff should be. ❤️ The restaurant had just opened for lunch, they did a fantastic job of managing the lunch crowd with limited staff present.
The lunch menu is budget friendly too!
For a chain restaurant the food was significantly better than what I had expected.
I had the Wild West shrimp and a sweet tea. 🍤 🤠 👢“

“My family and I enjoy Roosters. We have eaten at the one in Louisville. Now this one in Georgetown KY. We've eaten the Chicken wings, the burgers, chicken sandwiches and salads. Tonight my husband tried the pizza. Everything is always good. Tierra was great tonight.“

“(Edited after business response)
Food was ok.
We got the chicken and waffles, which were very good, and the breakfast platter. Breakfast platter was meh, and also not very large for a 'platter'. A little little cup of home fries, and two tiny sausages (which were actually not very good). Eggs were good, biscuit was great. Just not a lot of food on the platter. Two coffees which came in Styrofoam cup which is fine I guess - although I was hoping the waitress would bring the coffee pot periodically for refills as per usual, but thats admittedly really nitpicky. The business has responded to this, so I'm glad to see they take their customers opinions seriously! Anyways, then the check came with a 3% upcharge on our items. Originally in my review, I wrote that I didn't know why, and the manager didn't either, and though he gave me a generous discount, it seemed potentially shady. After the business's reply to this comment, I see it was unsurprisingly in fact a benign reason. Just a 3% upcharge for credit cards they forgot to mention on the breakfast menu. Although I will say I did pay in cash that day, so I'm not exactly sure how that works, I'm sure it's fine - maybe they would have knocked off the 3% after seeing I was paying in cash.
Anyways the beer is good, some of the food is really good (chicken and waffles), some is just ok (sausage was bad). Glad to hear a response from the business, that means a lot as a customer.“

“The Bouron glazed steak and Ribeye“

“We stopped at Mancino's today, and were greeted by the owner, who was working to fill in for call ins, as well as other reasons. He was a very pleasant, very polite man. While we were there, we witnessed him carry out a large order for a customer that was not able to carry it himself. This is just one of the many reasons we love, and continue to go to Mancino's. The pizza was excellent as well. 5 stars.“

“Please recognize Heather and the crew that worked tonight around 8pm tonight! We went through the drive through last weekend and some of our food was missing. We realize everyone makes mistakes, no big deal. It was my husband’s birthday and I think he really wanted the cheese cake. He called and told Heather what has happened. She immediately apologized and asked some questions. She said she would make it right and she did that today! We really appreciate those that worked tonight especially Heather! Our food was delicious too!“

“A Gem 💎 in Bourbon 🥃 Country! The homemade freshly made food BURSTS with flavor! The BEST meal in Woodford County!

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

“Felt bad ordering a good amount of food but it’s Waffle House you kinda have to but anyways was nervous coming in but the two ladies working the 9pm night shift were beyond amazing opened the door for us welcomed us with smiles and gave us our food the lady let me know they were out of chocolate chips but she had a smores option that she recommended and gave me a healthy serving. I normally don’t leave reviews but these ladies were outstanding and should definitely have some raises headed there way plus the food put us in a coma of joy.“

“My son and I had a great lunch, fast, accurate and waitress very attentive to getting our drinks (ice tea) refilled and checking on us.“
