Good food and service but a little pricey for the serving size of meatloaf. The location is off the beat in a business/ industrial park area and not on a main road. Minimal signage so pay attention to the gps address.

I am highly impressed! Everything we had was exceptional. The ribs were smoky and tender. Their vegetable selection was a great mix of traditional and unexpected. The mashed potatoes with pan gravy were better than Mom’s! Special mention on the tomato-cucumber salad. But the bread. DON’T MISS THE BREAD! Seriously,…

All the breakfast meals were fantastic! Probably the best hash browns I've ever had, and that's no joke! Service with a smile, good vibes and great food!

I ordered what I thought was going to be a plain, simple burger BUT it was so flavorful and filling. The pickles and all the ingredients were all top grade! I really felt like a true chef made my food. Very affordable too! I will be back to try much more.

This is quite possibly the best brisket I've had this year. Staff is super friendly, too. All fresh made daily from the cooker outside to the bread to the family's strawberry shortcake recipe. The appetizers and desserts are next level good! I would strongly encourage you to try this restaurant.

Best meat and two veggies I’ve had for a long while. My choice was the grilled chicken with a cucumber salad and sweet potatoes. My partner got the fried chicken and was happy with it. Great service and friendly staff. Even met Chef Jeff. Seating inside for 24 and we saw a bunch of take out. I’ll be going back for breakfast. One block off Covington Pike down Pleasant View. Enjoy.
Exceptional, made-from-scratch “meat and two” lunch! This place is definitely worth the little extra drive! Hamburger steak and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy, balsamic roasted brussels, and fresh baked sourdough bread off the griddle. Had to take home a sourdough cinnamon roll and an apple fried pie, as well. Glad I did! Will definitely be back and supporting this local business! Distinctively better than any “meat and two” meal I’ve had out.

Had the meat lovers burrito today and it was amazing! So fresh, not greasy like many other places, and the homemade salsa was a great addition. They also do meal prep that we get weekly. It’s good to have good healthly home-cooked meals prepped for the week to simply thaw/reheat. All the meals have been wonderful, but I especially like the bbq chicken leg quarters, and the chicken Alfredo!
