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 dined at Rodney’s this evening with friends for the first time! The whole ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner date! Our server Julie was wonderful and very attentive. The filet was very flavorful and the macaroni & cheese was great! We ate carrot cake for dessert! It was absolutely delicious! Our Sangria cocktails were also wonderful! We will definitely be back!“

“Took the early morning tour with Jan. Very informative! Got to see the horses exercising on the track! Definitely worth your time!“

“My new favorite place. Food and service were top notch. Very reasonable with prices.“

“Had a pretty good meal here. The food was tasty and the portions were a good size. I liked that the menu had some simple American favorites, and everything came out hot. The staff was friendly and the service was pretty smooth, even though it was a little busy when I went. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, nothing too fancy which I liked. Prices seemed fair for the amount of food you get. Overall, it was a nice experience and I’d be happy to come back and try something different next time.“

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

“If I could give Silk’s 10 stars I would. Whenever the Mrs and I are in town from NoVA this is our favorite place in the area. The restaurant is always beautiful, the service great and the food is amazing. If you want the best steak in the world order the Tomahawk for 2, just make sure you are really hungry. Thank you Silk’s! See you soon“

“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!“

“Came here for a birthday dinner and we enjoyed our time here. To be honest, the price for the food is a little high for the quality you get but you’re paying for the atmosphere and experience. We had a party of four and got the loaf of bread appetizer ($15, come on) the fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and crab ravioli entrees. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits, that was the favorite of the group, and the friend chicken was delicious as well. We were disappointed with the crab ravioli to be honest, would definitely get the other two entrees before this one. But overall it’s a cool, unique experience that you can’t really get in Kentucky anywhere else“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“Morgan and Ms. Lisa always take such good care of us when we visit! This is our favorite Saturday morning breakfast spot!“

“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“

“Roger is the best server. we thank you“

“We were greeted as we walked in, people were friendly. They have trivia on Tuesdays and Roberta and Bob do a great job. We had so much fun!!!! No IPA but settled for a Guiness. We did not try the food but would love to go back and have a meal! Great place!“

“The most personable, ecclectic, welcoming crowd! Join the kaleidoscope and enjoy friendly bartenders, great bar food, meeting great people and genuinely just having fun!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We dined here today, as always, excellent food and service. Lacy was our waitress today and took very good care of us. We love Roosters 🐔 and it has become on of our favorite all time places to eat. After eating wings there the 1st time several years ago, I cannot eat wings anywhere else. I wish they would bring one to northern Ky. However, I will gladly drive 50 miles to Georgetown Ky to eat wings We also go to the Wilmington location when visiting the area. There is no comparison in taste and 3 times the size of BW3 and Wings and Rings.“

“Sam and Kendra were great. I loved their welcoming and bubbly energy. They made my family and I feel welcome. We came from doing the rail explores, so we were hot! Being from out of town we are used to breweries having water refill stations for reusable water bottles, the owner shot my sister a dirty look when she was filling her bottle at what she thought was a refill station instead of just letting her know it wasn’t. I loved the potato skins. Sam and Kendra gave us great recommendations for our next stop on our trip! This was the right place for us to grab a beer as we cooled off and got ready for the next leg of our roadtrip.“

“The Bouron glazed steak and Ribeye“

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

“Took my wife and mother in for the Mother's Day buffet, and everyone enjoyed themselves. There was quite a variety of food, which meant there was something for everyone. The staff was also very friendly and kept our drinks full and plates cleared.“

“This may be the very best Capatin D's in America. I've been to different parts of the country and always loved Captain D's but sometimes the food isn't great or the workers don't seem to care about the food they serve. Not her.
Everyone was very nice and courteous. The service was very fast even though the restaurant was very busy at lunch on Friday.
The fish was cooked perfectly and not greasy or with old oil.
Thank you! I'll be back soon. My Dr's office is right next door so I can schedule a morning appt then order some killer lunch with the Captain D's App on my phone or just walk in and order if I want to pay cash.“

“5 🌟. This is my favorite place. It always has been. Thank you. My waitress last week was great, omg. She brings a great mood from the beginning of placing our order. She was punctual with checking on our needs. I'm easy the best tenders and mango margarita. But the service was the best. Wish she taught that service to other companies. That service definitely deserved a tip. Thank you again.“

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

“We had a great experience at Waffle House in Georgetown! We’re visiting from up north for a wedding, so we don’t get the chance to eat at Waffle House very often, and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

Our waiter, Leon, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food came out quickly, was nice and hot, and everything tasted great. It was exactly what we were hoping for after a busy day of traveling.

Thanks to Leon and the whole team for the excellent service and a wonderful meal. We’ll definitely stop by again the next time we’re in Kentucky!“

“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.“
