Golden Corral

Reviewed By Robin972

The food here was mostly very bland. We did find a few tasty things, but would not stop here again. Were told we would get a discount with a key from Microtel, but found out it depends on the manager. The baked fish tasted mushy.That's not what we want to hear. We'll take your feedback and make improvements so that you will come back and give us another try.

We stopped for gas & were surprised to see a large breakfast buffet & a sit-down restaurant in the back of the gas station. We figured 'what the heck' & sat at the counter. Breakfast was way better than what I had expected. Delores has been their 20 years and is an excellent waitress. P.S. I'm not sure what was all served at the buffet area, but they were doing a booming business.

Buffalo Wings & Rings

Reviewed By Jesse E

Lunch at Buffalo Wings and Rings was super. Excellent onion rings and outstanding chicken wings. I had the garlic sauces lightly tossed. My wife had boubon barbeque boneless wings. All the food was excellent. Fresh brewed iced tea washed everything down great. We'll be back when we pass through the area again.

Weaver's on 4th

Reviewed By Judy C

We were going to a cemetery outside of Manchester so on the way back we stopped at Weavers. I had been reading reviews on tripadvisor about Weavers and their hot dog chili. When we got there we noticed that they were putting chairs on the tables . I went in and asked if they were open. They said they close at 3pm. It was 2:45 and I said thanks anyway. He said you can still eat so come on in. We parked in a lot that had a sign which said permit only. I asked about the sign and he said don't worry about the sign. I ordered a chili bun with onion and my husband got a double cheeseburger and an order of fries. The chili is great. My husband loved the cheeseburger but he had to cut it in half and ask for a to go box. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My brother knew we were going to stop at Weavers and he wanted to try them, so he had us bring him 2 chili dogs . They suggested putting the chili in a cup and not on the hot dogs. My brother said they were so good. He loved that they gave him enough chili . He plans on stopping the next time he goes to Gatlinburg. I know that we will be back.

Frisch's Big Boy

Reviewed By D8159OItomc

My wife and I went there for breakfast since we had heard they now had a gluten free menu, which they did. However, the only breakfast items on the menu was fried apples and some condiments?? We asked the server about an omelet or scrambled eggs....well they are done on the flattop where bread items are also grilled?? I asked if they could not pan fry an omelet; answer: we don’t have a pan ?? A restaurant without even 1 pan . Needless to say their “gluten free” menu is non existent. Really the server had no real idea what gluten was. She was nice and apologetic which won’t fill a hungry stomach! Sadly my wife ate apples and I did have a decent breakfast which I did not enjoy because of my frustration . To be fair, when I was checking out, I asked the manager if it was not possible to prepare a GF egg and he said sure, that the grill would just have to be scraped and cleaned first. Not sure I would trust that?? How hard would it be to have a dedicated GF fry pan for those who suffer from Celiac??? By and large, restaurants in London, KY do not care that someone might be Celiac and must eat gluten free. The new Texas Roadhouse does have some good GF options and the servers are knowledgeable on the subject!

Shiloh Roadhouse

Reviewed By KenB912

Stopped at the Tesla Supercharger right behind the restaurant, there are many restaurants to choose from within easy walking distance but we chose Shiloh, big mistake, my wife ordered an appetizer and I had the 6 ounce sirloin with salad. Salad came out very quickly, then the steak shortly after finishing the salad. I finished my entire meal and had to leave to take care of the car and her appetizer never showed up. We had intended to eat together which any normal couple would do but we could not. She left the restaurant after refusing the meal 20 minutes after I had finished my meal. I could have sat there and waited until my meal was cold but needed to go walk the dog. They only had excuses and no apologies.

Accidentally found this great little locally owned restaurant. It was a very good experience from being till my wife and I walked out. Catfish and fries with fried green tomatoes (what a meal). My wife got sirloin and salad which she said was very good aswell. The server name was Chelsea (very nice down to earth person). The food was very good, the service was very good, and as vacationers We supported the Locals . Well worth the visit and not a chain restaurant..Win win ..Stop by you'll love it.

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

Reviewed By bcbcbc

This restaurant was a very pleasant stop on a tiring road trip. We have not been to a Cheddar’s in years; the one in our area closed quite a while ago. Although we liked it then, in my opinion in has improved. The restaurant was very clean and attractive. The food was excellent, especially for a chain restaurant. I had a bacon barbecue hamburger. I like hamburgers, but they are not in my top 10. This one was very very good. My husband had the vegetable plate with green beans, loaded baked potato, corn and coleslaw. He raved about each of them. They claim their cooking is “from scratch” and it sure did taste that way. Our server was very pleasant and efficient. We did wait longer than we would have liked for our order to be taken, and then again to receive our food. It was a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was semi-busy, but not packed. But we saw a sign as we entered saying “Now Hiring” so I am assuming they may have been short-handed, as is every restaurant we seem to patronize these days. We enjoyed our meal so much that we have located a Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen an hour away and we intend to go there soon.
