Stopped by after seeing the banners out front. Food always looks good on a banner. But after reading reviews, I discovered it was a locally owned business, so I had to try it. My gf and I went in and ordered the cheeseburger combo and chicken sandwich. Honestly, what could have been a pretty average meal at any fast food place was a fantastic meal at this place. Everything was seasoned well. The food came out fast, and everything was fresh. Customer service was friendly, and you could tell there was real heart in the place. I couldn't recommend this place more. It's definitely a must stop for a quick meal. We will absolutely be back again!

Was a little nervous since the inside wasn’t prepossessing and there were misspellings on the website, but the patio was cute and the food was absolutely delicious. Good portions, and everything was seasoned in a way this Indiana white girl has never experienced before. I got the Nashville hot chicken, and it was crispy but not over breaded and the slaw was great (no too mayo-y). The meat was tender and it packed heat but in a flavorful way. My buddies unironically called it exquisite; photos of them eating tell ya what they thought of the Nashville. The waitstaff was attentive and the seating area was clean. If I’m ever back in Kentucky you’ll be able to find me here.

Morgan was my server and she was amazing. She was very kind and offered suggestions about the food. She also let me park my car in the driveway beside the building so I didn't have to pay a meter. The food was delicious and was ready in a timely manner. The wings were incredible, I should have ordered more Although I dined inside, the outdoor dining area was a total vibe.

I was a little skeptical at first just from the looks of the restaurant and I like to stick to what I know however I was in for a surprise. The food was Great!! I ordered the chicken sandwich which was juicy the fries are very well seasoned my husband had the burger and said his food was just as amazing. Jasmine was our server she was very sweet and kind and the food came out quick and was fresh. Definitely going back and will tell others. If you are thinking about it just go it’s worth a try.

Food was delicious! Catfish sandwich came fully dressed on toasted bread. Buffalo wings were cooked perfectly! Staff was very friendly and professional. Food was cooked fresh, made to order. I called in my order ahead of time and it was ready when I arrived. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! Great downtown location!

We walked in 10 minutes after close, unintentionally - we had the time wrong. We were still welcomed to sit down and enjoy a meal... that 100000/10 customer service continued through the whole experience. The vibes were warm and welcoming. And the food? The. Food. Was. Amazing. The cheese sticks were good and stringy, with great flavor and great crunch on the outside. The burgers were juicy and delicious. The bacon was thick cut and perfectly cooked. The fries were yummy and had a delicious seasoning on them. Will definitely be back. No question.

This place was really good. I had the build your own burger and is was extremely flavorful and cooked exactly the way I like it. My friend got the fried catfish and shrimp and she really enjoyed it as well.
