The food and service was fantastic. The shrimp and grits were outstanding. Cheese grits made right! My wife had the 12oz ribeye. One the best steaks around! Looking forward to returning.

Visited here for St. Patricks day, the service was fast and the food was AWESOME. I ordered a rare wagyu burger and it was cooked perfectly! The potato skins were super loaded, my husbands catfish was a huge piece of fish. They were generous with the kettle chips which were great to have in our to go box on the way home from the bars! not to mention people were friendly and respectful!

Lovely small town Gem! The Ambiance and Service was Great! I enjoyed looking around at the brick walls , molded ceilings and the wooden bar. It felt like a old saloon from out west. I loved it. It was a bit busy when we got there. The bartender mentioned that the back patio was open and it was popular. We enjoyed our drinks and watched the crowd and the TV. For dinner, I had the Mahi Mahi Special with Rice and my Mom had the Blackened Salmon. Both were delicious! We will definitely be back!

We stopped here last night on our first trip ever to Maysville. Walked around and found this place. Didn’t have high expectations when we walked in. Ordered an appetizer that was good and decided to try a filet. Thought it was a little pricey for a small town diner. However after I bit into it I was totally surprised. The filet was one of the best along with great mashed potatoes. My girlfriend really enjoyed the salmon too. Our bartender was great and full of local info. Also met some nice locals. We will be back this summer.
