The Brown Barrel

We chose Valentine's Day for our first visit to the Frankfort Brown Barrel, after visiting the Midway location a few times. With a quick phone call, Wendy reserved us an early table as they had several reservations beginning at 6:00 pm. They were offering what sounded like a delicious Valentine's Day special, but we weren't ready for that much food.Hubby ordered the wedge salad I had previously enjoyed at Midway, and I had a side salad (sans cucumbers) with blue cheese dressing. The hot brown was calling Hubby by name, and he was quite pleased with his order. Previously I had eaten the catfish fried, and I wanted to try it catfish grilled, and ordered the mashed potatoes again. The grilled catfish was tender and flavorful but was way too salty, and I could eat only about half of it. Both our server Marcus and Wendy (the manager?) checked on us about that time, and Wendy offered to have the catfish redone with less of the salty lemon pepper seasoning. The replacement piece was delicious, but I had to bring most of it home and enjoy it the following day!Since it was Valentine's Day, we splurged and split a piece of delicious white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, yum! Our server Marcus gave great service and we enjoyed our visit.

Service was great!!! Parking beside the building was so helpful!!! The food was on point!!!

A pretty solid burger and great French fries. The service was quick! Very nice, cost efficient meal in the heart of bourbon country.

Quick seating, was a fantastic end to our bourbon exploration. Started off with the onion rings and the "nasty sauce" which is super delicious! A mixture of hot sauce, ranch and salsa!! Was finger licking food and the basket was plentiful. The hot sauce chicken sandwich did not disappoint! Was a massive sandwich and the Brussel sprouts were okay. I prefer mine more on the crispier side and more balsamic vinegar styled. The pork belly sandwich was good, but if you're not wanting a fatty meat I wouldn't recommend. The sweet potato fires were Our waiter was fantastic, made wonderful suggestions and my cup was never empty. Looked like a great spot to catch a game and was definitely family friendly! Whenever we visit Frankfort again would definitely have to stop back in.

I'm town for one night decided on brown barrel for supper-very clean, attentive service, yummy food and incredibly well priced drinks. 10

Stopped in to give The Brown Barrel another try. Sat on the Brown Barrel side this time instead of Blind Harry's. Menu had more options. Had the club sandwich and fries. Very fresh and delicious. The rest of the party tried salmon BLT, truffle mashed potatoes, fried shrimp, and pork belly sandwich. All enjoyable. Large portions, brought some home. Restaurant and restroom were clean. Service was top notch. Big upgrade from last visit. A little pricey for sandwiches, but feel the menu selection warrants it.

A bit pricey but pretty good food and nice atmosphere. I can't post this simple sentence because the post has to be at least 85 characters so... there... that should cover it!

We tried this place recently for dinner and liked it. The location was within walking distance to our place which was convenient. They have a spacious dining room. We were seated near the front windows which had nice view. Unfortunately, the sun was setting and it was in our faces the entire time. The loaded brown barrel appetizer was good. The chicken piccata and nachos were tasty. My wife's salad came out frozen. However, we were able to thaw it out in the sun from our table location. Overall, we had a good experience.

I love Brown Barrel so when I heard we were getting one in Frankfort I was so excited! So tonight my husband and I decided to visit the new location. The atmosphere and service was fantastic, we could tell our server was a little nervous but she played it off well and was very helpful. However, our food.....was not what we were expecting. The chicken in my picatta was soggy and undercooked and the sauce hadn't been reduced so it was very soup like. The flavor however was there so I brought it home, reduced the sauce (made my own chicken) and it was delicious! My husband's crab cakes however were crisp on top, soggy on the bottom, and undercooked on the inside. He ended up leaving it. Overall it was an enjoyable experience....just not an enjoyable meal. I'm sure with time they'll get the swing of it and be right up there with the original location.

Really great food. We had fish and chips, and catfish sandwich. Sweet potato fries and regular fries were very good. Nena was awesome as our waitress. Highly recommend this when in the area.
