this was our third visit to bluegrass and we will definitely be back! the food was delicious as always and our service was outstanding. The waiter actually walked down the street with one of our party to show him where he could park his car so he wouldn't get a ticket! now that is going above and beyond! We will definitely be back!

Place was great! I had the lobster sliders, flank steak, and cheesecake. All which were excellent. Our server was very friendly. A bit on the pricey side but good sized portions

I thought the food was good but we went when it was restaurant week and did not get the usual menu. I would have liked to have had the normal menu to choose from. Not quite sure the purpose of restaurant week.

I had the chicken and dumplings. The dumplings were very very pasty and it was clear the dish had so much added flour to thicken it that it took away from the flavor. The staff was very friendly and pleasant and offered great customer service. They were the best part of the evening.

We got there "early" (7pm) before the restaurant filled up, so we got great service. The food was good, but not extraordinary. We loved the crawfish hushpuppies, catfish sliders, hot friend chicken (a bit salty, though), and the desert. The steak was just ok. We will come again when we can save up, or for a special occasion- this place is a bit above our price range.

We were early for our brunch reservation and they still accommodated us. The service was awesome and our waiter gave us great advice on our choices. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere so much we came back the next day with no reservation and again were quickly seated and had another awesome food experience.
