“ This is a good place if you are in Pikeville, it is very close to the public parking garage, the university and the arena. I ate the fish sandwich with roasted asparagus, and I had a glass of Merlot. I was staying in Pikeville for a conference. They also have karaoke at some point. It is a lovely walk. It has a tempered patio in case you want a more quiet experience. ”
“ For a real southern bar this is just plenty fine. Beer and bourbon choices, and food has plentiful portions. Try the wings, and the Tom’s sandwich, Quite friendly atmosphere. ”
“ One tall fellow that serves here is particularly awesome. One of the finest servers in the entire town. Always asks if everything looks correct and if you need sauces and so forth when dropping food off. Sadly that isn't the case just anywhere you go. The food had been good every time I've been here. The lack of parking is the only detraction here, but it is worth parking and walking. ”
“ Great restaurant, salmon salad was excellent! Grab lunch sometime. ”
