Best Southern American Restaurants in Nicholasville

My wife, son, daughter-in-law and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast at OBC on a snowy Sunday morning. The roads weren't great, but we pushed through and were rewarded with fabulous food and delicious cocktails. Our server, Steven, was excellent. We ordered Creme Brulee French Toast, a breakfast burrito, a Belgian Waffle, and a full breakfast, (can't remember what that was called). No complaints! We hope to return the next time we are in the area.

We had a wonderful experience at Distilled! The server was knowledgeable and friendly, and the Crab cake was excellent! We will be back.

We've been eating here for years and this is my first review. The first time we ate here was Valentine's Day several years ago. They typically have Crawfish Etouffee this time of year as a special. It's fantastic, this year it wasn't available. I did however get shrimp and grits which are always fantastic. The bread pudding is fantastic as well. We've been to eat elsewhere in town and came in for a bourbon barrel ale and desert. It's always a nest place for lunch or brunch as well the outdoor area is nice. As far as Palmer's if reading this review please bring back your oyster rockefeller!

First time at Honeywood and it was amazing. Took our two girls for Valentine’s Day dinner and the food and experience could not have been more perfect. The restaurant has a mix of farm charm and modern luxury vibes. The service felt like we were family. The selection of food met the needs of our palates. Deviled eggs, fried oysters, Caesar salad, ribeye, shrimp and grits, Brussels, ice cream flight…looking forward to our next visit.

Tuk Tuk is a renaissance of “local watering hole” meets expert culinary fusion. Every menu item is curated with curiosity, precision, but ultimately care. Sam, Chris, Carolyn, and the whole gang have crafted something that feels like fine dining on vacation but also the warm hug of a loving relative after time apart - it’s like your favorite sweatpants but made out of the best cashmere - it’s the feeling you get when you take a scary risk and it pays off ten fold. The cocktails? Creative! The snacks? Each a mouthful of magic. The fried chicken? Mother may I?!? Every person who visits Tuk Tuk falls in love and becomes a regular. For my partner and our infant, we make it in at least once a week because it just feels like it’s a part of our home. Recommendations: I love the seasonal changes and guest chefs because I’ve come to trust the balance and execution Sam and her team bring with everything they make and serve. But for folks looking for the next best snack since popped corn, you gotta try the lentil fritters. Feeling a little bougie? The mushroom toast feels like the fanciest catered appetizer, but you know - and actual serving size instead of one stupid cracker. My partner and I debate our favorite sandwich. He’s a fan of the duke and the Webster - both with Sam’s famous fried chicken - truly drool worthy. I’m a sucker for the meatball sandwich which uses her meatball curry seasoning and comes with the BEST sautéed spinach on top. Oh and don’t skip out on the sambol. These delightful “condiments” or “toppings” are the thread that brings all of these flavors together. Never had Sri Lankan flavors? Worried about spice level? Fear not just talk to your server. Sam’s food is all about tastes that are accommodating to everyone. There’s no heat rating to worry about, just a lot of really good, balanced flavors to take you on a magical journey. And this foodie is just dying for summer to return when Sam breaks out her famous tomato pie …
