I had the ribeye with mushroom gravy. The steak was cooked correctly, but was on the fatty side. I would suggest that side salad come out before main meal, instead of plating it with the mushroom gravy steak. Wife had lamb cutlets and vegetable medley she said hers was well prepared.
A very pleasant surprise. Food was very good and actually reasonably priced for what you're getting. Staff is great, and the dessert display made it very hard to choose! Absolutely would return.
I savored an Egg Benedict with ham and hollandaise, salmon Benedict while my colleague enjoyed the French toast. Both dishes were exceptional. The establishment also boasts a diverse and appealing menu. Thank you for the delicious breakfast.
My dad and I stopped here during our visit to see Hoosier Gym on our way back Nashville. Had a really nice lunch here! I had a ribeye steak served with a mushroom gravy over fries and a side salad which was really good, and my dad enjoyed his calamari salad. Ally was a very sweet and wonderfully attentive server too. Kind of surprised when they said it’d only been open for five weeks! I’d definitely recommend if you’re visiting Knightstown to see Hoosier Gym!
Delightful! This new place is just what Knightstown needs. Excellent menu with affordable prices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and appetizers. Wait staff is still learning, but they are pleasant and cheerful. The food is absolutely fantastic. I had the carbonara pasta. My wife had the Caesar salad with chicken.
Charming new restaurant on the square in Knightstown. Recently opened, and I've only been once with my wife and adult daughter. I had the hummus platter for my entree, and it was very good. My wife and daughter had sandwiches and fries which they enjoyed. I plan to return and check out more of the menu. Clean, bright and inviting atmosphere.
Delicious food, friendly staff, quick service! We went on a Sunday afternoon and the environment was very quiet and relaxing. Tenderloin deluxe, and Thigh and Mighty chicken sandwich were the bomb!
This one is really difficult to write because I WANTED to support a local establishment. The main reason I probably won't go back is the smell. They have multiple plug in spray fragrance things around the restaurant and bathroom. As we were sitting at our table, every few minutes, I would TASTE the fragrance spray. I smelled it over my food that I was holding. I couldn't even enter the bathroom.... and it gave my kids a headache. I asked the server if we could remove the one nearest to us, as we were all getting headaches from it. She very kindly obliged. When I was checking out, another server went and plugged it back in. I mentioned to the other server that the place doesn't smell bad and the food smells fine so the plug ins really aren't needed and are a negative for the place. The first server told the other server she'd received multiple complaints about the plug ins and the overwhelming smell in the small restaurant. The other server, who is older and seemed more in charge, said that the old owner liked them. I said they definitely don't need them now and they've really done a nice job with the interior. She said they'd hide the plug ins so we can't see them. I was a little surprised honestly... I told her I SMELLED them before I looked for them. She didn't respond so I took that as this will be my last time in this restaurant lol. Multiple complaints on the smell should mean something... Other items I was going to overlook for growing pains--- Our server.... was so young and cute. She will be great when she learns how to be a server. We let her know our table was very wobbly and just ask for sugar packets or a napkin to quick fix it. She said it happens as they move the tables around and didn't bring anything for the table. Lol. We had to be very careful in leaning on the table so it didn't spill our drinks. Pre-bussing, refills, coming back... are items that can only be learned with serving experience. We still tipped her well. The food... was mostly disappointing unfortunately. Good--- the loaded tots are great!! Love the favor of the queso!! House salad dressing! Tasty. Bad--- the burgers... were disappointing. The buns, and the items added are all great!! Egg, fresh vegetables, sauces... all good. The burger itself was TINY!! That delicious bun is much too big for that fast food sized burger. It definitely was not a $10.99 level burger. I had the Loaded Burger-- which minus the tiny, mostly tasteless burger, was an egg sandwich on a delicious bun. The fries are basic and boring. I didn't finish the burger or the fries. The salad was good. I like the spinach mix and house vinegarette. My husband had the Knightstown burger. He liked the spicy mayo sauce...otherwise when I asked him his thoughts, he said "it was ok". His burger looked a bit larger than mine and our kids... He did like the fries. He wasn't happy with the scantily clad salad. (But all they offered on the salad was onion and we asked that taken off). Overall-- I would have gone back multiple times looking for something to update positively... as my followers know, I love finding local gems wherever we travel to highlight. This place though.... unless they remove the old granny perfume smell from the restaurant, I literally cannot return...and wouldn't considering they are actively ignoring multiple mentions of the smell being bothersome.
