“A triumph, just get in the car and go. Order the chicken livers and if you don't love them I will drive there from wherever I am and eat them. 😋 Literally the most courteous and engaging servers you'll find anywhere. Ask for Gretchen and tell her I sent you'“

The new Crunchy Garlic Shrimp starter was delicious, too!!! Our server, Cat, couldn’t have been nicer!!! Dining with you is always a treat and always memorable!!! Thanks for knocking it out of the park for my birthday!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The BEST slaw you’ll ever have! I’m not a fan of slaw this was worth eating and made me want more! The pulled pork was perfection! Love those rich and hearty baked beans! The price was also right on point!! Incredibly friendly service!“

“Steak was amazing got a rare 8 oz steak so good and the service was also good“

“Roger is the best server. we thank you“

“Great little local bar and restaurant. Close to the Beaumont circle hotels. I had the fish and chips because the grill was shut down when I arrived at 9:30. Fries are probably fresh cut. But the star was the house made coleslaw. Some of the best I've ever had. The fish was ok. The bartender is a sweet lady with character. Thoroughly enjoyed my vist.“

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

“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!“

“Met my son, daughter in law and two grandsons there. They take such great care of customers. Friendly, food is delicious. They handle smaller kids so well. Family friendly or sit at the lovely bar. Lots of tvs for sports ?

Parking: Lots of free, safe parking. Great area. Loved it.“

“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!!“

“Hostess was friendly but probably not the best personality for a hostess.
Sever (Isaac) was absolutely awesome. Friendly and helpful. Food was an 8/10. The salad and Brussels sprouts were both really good. The medium rare steak came out medium well. Isaac took it right back and had a fresh steak prepared which was closer to medium rare at the thick end but dried up at the thinner end. For the money, I would have appreciated a more even cut of steak that could be prepared more consistently.
Atmosphere is nice and I'll be back.“

“I had the salad bar with my meal but my date did not so I offered him mine but the waitress said that was not an option. Fine, but I swear I felt like she cruised our table to make sure we didn't 'violate ' this 'rule'. It did make me feel uncomfortable. The food was very good and cooked well.“
