Most Popular American food in Frankfort, Kentucky, United States
Reviews on American food in Frankfort, Kentucky, United States. The city of Frankfort has a long and torturous history. First settled in 1786, the city has survived a failed attempt to make Kentucky a part of the Spanish Empire, an occupation by the Confederate Army, disastrous fires, and flooding from the Kentucky River. This exciting past has left the capital city full of historic sites, museums, and restored mansions. Visit the bourbon warehouses at the Buffalo Trace Distillery or explore the beautiful Bluegrass Hills at the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary.

10. LongHorn Steakhouse

The steaks were great, the mudslide delicious and the staff are excellent at the jobs. We enjoyed our meal (wish they'd bring back the fried asparagus) and will come again. The price was right inl-line with other steak houses, however, the atmosphere, food, and service can't be beaten. We arrived around 9:30 pm and were not rushed nor did we feel pressure to hurry up and eat. Great restaurant! Carino's missed out cause they wanted us to eat in the bar and the restaurant was so cold I would have had to wear a jacket. Thank you Longhorn for welcoming us and also keeping your restaurant at a temperature for people not penguins.

Sage Garden Cafe was created to illustrate the connection between the garden and the plate, showing that healthful, honest food can also be delicious. Our menu is designed to use fresh organic produce, grown on-site at Wilson Nurseries ... as local as it

Situated at a Garden Center, beautiful Surroundings. The plants, flowers and atmosphere are wonderful. The food is excellent and plentiful and presented well. Their bread is to kill for, especially on sandwiches. Soups and salads and sandwiches are great. Staff did an excellent job, fast and efficient. Good parking.

When we stumbled on Rick's for breakfast, we didn't realize they were famous! It's a small place with very limited seating but the food has BIG taste! They have beignets that taste just like they were made at Cafe du Monde!! The rest of our order was tasty as well and we had a great server who was happy to share a bit of history about Ricks. Definitely stop here if you're in Frankfort!

We had dinner one recent Saturday night. We had called earlier in the day to make a reservation and got a recording asking us to leave a number and they'd call later to confirm. We never got the call so no reservation. It was not an issue as, even though it was 7:30PM on a Saturday night - Serafini's was well over half empty.The atmosphere is nice and our expectations for a great Italian meal were set. The menu was disappointing as the pasta selections were rather slim. I selected the pasta carbonara - a go-to of mine. The wine list was good and we ordered a nice Malbec. Service was fine and our meals arrived in good order. Overall - my pasta dish was no better than average (I've had as good or better at chain Italian restaurants) and I left disappointed. The flavor was weak and the noodles were sticky and a bit chewy, I thought. I needed salt and pepper to perk the flavor up some.Overall: average.

Under new management and just as consistently good as ever. Lots of menu choices. We got burgers and fries. The burger was like homemade. The fries were hot and cooked just right. Servers were friendly and attentive. Will continue to eat here on a regular basis.

I have been here many times in the past with my wife before. The cellar is a located in historic downtown Frankfort across from the old capitol and the Kentucky History Center. It is half spirit store and half wet bar. The live music is always nice and the bar is sweet. I am never disappointed.

Ate here while in town on business. My food was excellent, steak cooked perfectly and our waitress was top notch. Unlimited salad bar was great and was a great addition to my meal. I had several coworkers that ate here both evenings while we were in town and I will definitely eat here again whenever I am back in town.

So glad we chose to eat here based on other Trip Advisor reviews! Cute little restaurant in a historic building. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We all ordered burgers or sandwiches and everything was delicious! I was impressed that the restaurant manager took the time to come by our table to ask if everything was ok. He was very friendly as well. After lunch we walked out on their deck and it was a very charming area over looking the river. I can imagine dinner on the deck would be lovely. I highly recommend Bourbon on Main!
