The Tousey House Tavern

Reviewed By labrador47 - Naples, Fl

We went to the Tousey House for a holiday dinner with visiting family.
It was busy but the service was terrific.
The food was incredible! Every portion that we had served was better than the last.
Generous portions and ideal presentation.
Everyone in our party went away with the same impression. Rare find and reasonable pricing.

Hebron Grille

Reviewed By Trish W - McMurray, Pennsylvania

We stopped here for lunch the end of June. Thoroughly enjoyed the outside patio and service was great. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The homemade potato chips are good, and the curly fries are excellent. My friend and I split a Reuben sandwich--it was huge! My husband is a big eater but could not finish his club sandwich. This has to be the best tavern fare in Hebron. We were traveling, but I would definitely choose from his resta again.

The drive-through is a pain in the neck and parking is awful, BUT the staff is friendly and always gets my order correct and deliver it with a genuine smile. Great quality products, too, although they often seem to run out of specials early. Love 'em anyway!

Mai Thai Restaurant

Reviewed By Katherine1650 - Dry Ridge, Kentucky

I love the chicken pad thai here. It's so flavorful and has a great amount of chicken. I don't recall what my friends ordered, but I know they enjoyed their dinners as well. Appetizers are good and the service is friendly and prompt. I'll be going back very soon!

Washington Square Cafe & Catering

Reviewed By mancusoracing - Bristol, Connecticut

Found this place while visiting Hebron, KY on business. Truly is "home cooking". Tried Goetta for the first time while there and have had it every time since. Atmosphere is great and the staff is super friendly. Every time I've gone there, it wasn't busy so service was quick. Can't say how it would be during a rush.

City Barbeque

The idea for City Barbeque was born as an invitation to all the people in the city to enjoy great barbeque- America's food. Our award-winning barbeque is made with only the highest quality meats and served with our signature sauces on the side. Huge smokers are loaded daily to guarantee the very best hickory smoked, juicy, tender meat anywhere. So if an authentic barbeque experience is what you're after, look no further. Small groups of folks like us still believe in honoring quality, generations of tradition and true service. Whether you call it barbecue, Bar-B-Que, BBQ, or barbeque - we've got what you are looking for!

We picked up a party pack for 8-10 people and it fed our party of 9 easily. 2 meats (pulled pork and pulled chicken) and 2 sides (potato salad and corn pudding) made for a great new years eve dinner. Everyone enjoyed it. Also sent home buns and tons of sauce.

Been here a few times in the last couple of months and each time we are more than pleased with the food and service. The waitresses are extremely nice and very welcoming to you. The Lucky Duck while a typical bar and grill has some of the best bar type food I have tasted in a while. Tried many different items on the menu and have not been disappointed. Very nice local beer options also!

Cracker Barrel

Half Restaurant. Half Store. All Country

Reviewed By frompitpa - Pittsburgh, PA

Went for a late dinner. Cracker Barrel is good for relatively inexpensive comfort food and that's what my colleague and I were in the mood for. Service was good, food was OK. Don't expect to be wowed, but if you like southern-style comfort food, there's a reason this chain is so popular.

Skyline Chili INC

Reviewed By deetsies - Burlington, Kentucky

I have only eaten inside this restaurant once as I find the drive-up window service superior; the person at the window is always cheerful and also helpful if there are questions regarding any of the menu items. They are also quite generous with the accompaniments-sauce,crackers,service. I find the basic baked potato to be a meal in itself and the chili dogs are magnificent. Food is always tasty and I would also recommend the rice and bean chili-it is phenomenal.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Reviewed By RandyHodge - VERONA

Wow this was our go to place to eat. After Darden buying them out you would only expect improvement, sadly mistaken. Went to eat Saturday 2/03 at 4:00 and the place was filthy, there was trash all over the floor, ketchup bottle and salt shaker had funk on them, bathrooms was nasty with paper towels all over the floor, not what you would expect from a Darden restaurant. At 4:00 they was not busy at all, went in and was set immediately, however we waited forever to get our food after ordering. Our party has ordered their fish several times in the past, but we found out that they serve Swai fish. If you don't know about Swai fish, please google them and read about them, no more fish at Cheddars. The only thing that kept them from getting the lowest rating is that their food was decient.
