What a great addition to Burkesville Ky food choices! They have just been open for a few months and still figuring things out. Overall a great experience! Ordered the meatball appetizer and they were amazing. My wife ordered the cheese ravioli with the Vodka sauce. So good! I ordered the Alfredo with Baked chicken. It was also very good. We ordered a bottle of wine as well. The wine and food were all reasonably priced. The reason I didn’t give 5 for the food was I felt like the breadsticks were undercooked and the cheese ravioli was overcooked just a smidge. Service was good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. However, we ordered a bottle of wine and instead of pouring a little in the glass for one of us to taste, she just filled the glasses up. I know it’s a small thing, but

Their food tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen. The baked ziti is the kind of comfort food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite, and the lasagna might honestly be one of the best I’ve had anywhere. The portions are generous, so you’ll either leave completely satisfied or with a delicious box for tomorrow. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. It's definitely the kind of place where you can actually relax and talk over dinner. On nights with live music, it feels even more special; the performances add personality without overpowering conversation. Service is consistently friendly and attentive, and for the quality and portions you get, the prices are more than fair. It’s a place that treats locals like family and visitors like friends. Whether you’re meeting friends, b

I order two sausage sandwiches for take away service. I specifically requested no hot peppers, sweet peppers OK. For each sandwich, I received a lightly toasted bun containing (at most) 2 tablespoons of sausage for each sandwich. Sausage was ground type and of inferior grade. The small amount sausage was covered with slices of raw jalapeno pepper (no sweet peppers) and melted cheese. Cheese was topped with a small amount of white raw onion. A small side of satisfactory red sauce was included. A small bag of potato chips was included. This is the worst Italian sausage sandwich I have ever encountered for dining (ever). I tasted one of the sandwiches and ended up throwing both in the trash. I will not order from this establishment again - skimpy ingredients, hot peppers when specif

I called in a to-go order and got the veggie calzone and spinach blossoms — both were delicious! Portions were generous; I couldn’t finish it all. I’d heard people say their prices were high, but that’s just not true — everything was very fair. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Burkesville!

We were staying in town for the weekend and we’re glad we found this place! Service was attentive and the food was great! Good cook and crust on the pizza we ordered. We were told they’ve recently added the salad bar, which was pretty well loaded up for its size. Good experience and value for us, we’ll be visiting again. Thanks for dinner!
