Gondolier Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By momof4Wi - Elm Grove, Wisconsin

Our family of five stopped in London for an overnight. OpenTable did not come up with any restaurant suggestions (none!) but one of our kids found Le Gondolier somehow. It was a great choice: something on the menu for everyone, and large portions that offered great value for money. It was a shame we couldn't take the leftovers with us. None of us had room for dessert but the cakes in the display looked stunning. Next time!

Reasonable prices compared to most franchise frozen yogurt (froyo!) places, their selection is every bit as good and has a lot more personality. Games available to play (of the tabletop and arcade variety), spacious dining area, clean... not sure what more to ask for. I'd pick DaddyYo's over Orangeleaf any day.

Reviewed By travelpr0123 - travelpro123

On a recent trip south we stayed overnight in London KY and this bar and eatery seemed to be the only halfway decent placed to get human food. The interior is somewhat rough and worn down, the bar area nice, our waitress was very friendly yet not in the know about available draft beer choices. The hamburgers were surprisingly good. We would come back if in the area. Give it a try.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Reviewed By Steve K - Versailles, Kentucky

Stopped for early lunch while traveling South. Passed this Cheddar's many times but it was time to give it a try. Immediately seated and got our drinks. I always enjoyed the chicken strip meal. Seriously this is a meal for two. Seven huge chicken strips and fries and coleslaw. Asked for take out box to finish meal at home. Lots of items to choose from on menu. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean and waitress was attentive to needs during meal. Very reasonable prices for the amount of food one gets.

My wife and I stopped based on the reviews from TripAdvisor. We enjoyed excellent service. We both had a hamburger. It was fresh and cooked just as requested. Area was clean and relaxed with a cold beer which they had a good selection of. Glad we stopped in, nice place for a casual meal or business lunch.

Reviewed By gypsydixie - Lexington, Kentucky

I had Greek salad for lunch with grilled chicken It was a large plate of lettuce with few half red tomatoes,olives,cucumbers,green peppers. It was good. The service was efficient. The cost with a sweet tea was $11.00 I am pretty sure I could get better salad for this price at a couple of other places.

Shiloh Roadhouse

Reviewed By Kittles - Boston, Massachusetts

This place had a nice atmosphere and the wait staff were welcoming. The food was below par to say the least. We started with the nachos as an appetizer the cheese was questionable we should have hit the trail after that. There were 3 in our party we ordered the sirloin tips which turned out to be chopped chuck which is for beef stew. Here's a tip dont get the tips. Right next door is a restaurant named Chedders it was Awesome.
