Waterfront Grille and Gathering

This here is a down south, back roads type of Honky Tonk! Tons of outdoor seating, indoor seating, huge bar, giant room with live music on Wednesday nights. It was a gorgeous night out so we sat outside on the well lit, comfy patio. If you're looking for a place to bring a large group, this is it!We both had burgers which were the best we've had anywhere in this area, hands-down. Get two, they are on the thin side. Charboiled is the name of the game! French fries were out of this world crispy. Potato salad was OK, way too sweet for me, but it's Kentucky! Our waitress was as sweet as the tea. Pricing was well below many other restaurants in the area. Located on the road to Hall's on the River, stop here for casual, yummy, way less expensive food.

The food and service are on point. Great place to eat and hang out. We will be back, probably Sunday, lol

The pork loin sandwich was HUGE. it was cooked on a salt block and was tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. It was not overly salty as is usually the case at other places. The wait staff was attentive and courteousand the river view from the deck was beautiful and relaxing. There was a bit of a wait for our food because of a large group event.

This place is a gem. Service was super friendly. Definitely has great locally sourced burgers, delicious beer cheese, fish bites, fries are fresh cut... combine that with the views of the river, the overall solid vibe, music/sound quality... this is the spot. Wife and kids loved it too.

Place was practically empty and the service was EXTREMELY slow. Food is decent when there's not much else to choose from. Atmosphere with live music and an overview of the river was nice.

I live in Winchester and this is just a few minutes down the road from my house. A buddy of mine frequent this watering hole often. They are a bar/grill with a huge deck that overlooks the river and a stage which normally on weekends has a live band playing. It is a place where a great collection of people hang out. Their food is great with large portions. The beer is all bottled or canned and is cold. They sell liquor and mixed drinks as well. If you are looking for a place off the beaten path, I suggest to pop in here on a Friday or Saturday night. Be ready for some fun. The staff here are super friendly and will learn your name quickly. They also remember your order/drinks from each visit. I love this place. I have found myself here once a week to be honest. Stop in and maybe I'll see you there.

I was told that there was a new restaurant, by the river. So, we headed to the river on a Friday night around 6 pm. It wasn't very busy, but we were told that once the band starts playing at 8 pm, it gets packed. For the record, it isn't new but does have new owners. A husband and wife team who are judges in Winchester. Well, the husband is apparently now retired. The LLC name listed on the window is "AINTJUDGINENT"... love it! And I loved the food and everything about the place. When the band places, they only have a limited menu. That was fine by me because everything on it was some of my favorites. The waitress was very informative, she's the one who told me about the owners and that he was actually part of the band that was playing at 8 pm. Anyways, she explained that because they get so busy while the band plays, to keep the kitchen flow going and organized, they don't offer steaks and things that take more time. Great management, if you ask me. I ordered chicken tenders from the appetizer menu, with a side of fries. They both came out piping hot. My dad got the beer cheese burger, which was pretty big and he raved about it having plenty of beer cheese. The service was phenomenal. Not only did we have an informative waitress, the lady who brought out the food was nice and stopped by a few more times to make sure that we had everything that we wanted. Someone else even stopped by and asked if everything was ok... again, great management. This place is definitely worth the trip from Lexington, or if you're in the area and want to try a place on the river. Side note to the owners though, they do need a better beer selection. All of the excellent craft breweries in the area have created a ton of craft beer fans who won't drink anything else.

I love this place. Living less than 3 miles away it's nestled right next to river. Have some spectacular artists and bands come through. Although I miss bananas, this is above all else a fun place to go. Wish it was bigger. Since I'm literally down the road,. Hey I have some awesome land, you should look into expanding

We decided to try this place out after touring Fort Boonesborough. We got the pretzels and beer cheese and salmon dip. Both appetizers were great. We then got cheeseburgers and fries. The cheeseburgers were excellent. They are probably the best I've eaten out in more than 10 years. The meat was juicy and seasoned perfectly. We will be back!

Fantastic!!! Food was amazing!!! Cheeseburger was made from locally grown beef. Service was top notch and food was brought out hot and fresh to the table quickly . If you want to enjoy a view of the river and have some delicious starters and main entree this is the place to come. I will be back .
