Service was quick and friendly. Food was fresh, and was prepared in a timely manner. Everything was clean and stocked. Employees were all kind and helpful. Prices were very affordable. I will definitely be back!
Mom and Pop place. Very friendly waitress. He ordered a bacon cheeseburger with home fries - VERY GOOD! I had the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, fried appels, and corn bread (that looked like a pancake). It was yummy! Cozy dining environment.
My husband and I loved this place! It's pinnacle southern cooking and hospitality. Everything was fresh and delicious. We had breakfast and picked up oreo pie! Everything was so filling and lovely! If we ever go back to Red River Gorge, we'll definitely go there again.
Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning in October enroute from Lexington to the Red River Gorge Area. Friendly staff and very popular place. Every single spot was taken. There were always around 40 customers at the restaurant but only 2 waitresses. I had the 3-egg Western omelet and it was pretty good - took around 20-30 minutes to be served. After seeing the portion, I did want to order something on the side, but it would have just extended my stay even more, and I wanted to get on with the hiking.
From western KY and stayed the weekend in stanton so we decided to eat at Bruens. It was excellent. From the service to the food and price.. our food was hot and fresh and it was close to closing. I had the chicken with gravy plate lunch. Deviled eggs were .. will def go back the next time we are in town. Our server was great as well.
This is a little hole in the wall restaurant in Stanton. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. If you like home cooked meals, I recommend you try this place! The hot fudge Brownie is my favorite dessert they have. One brownie is enough for 2 people to share. A must try is their deep-fried cauliflower bites with ranch. They are very good.
Bruens is awesome! Great country cooking! Always run into locals that I know! Still same good cooking! Fortunately, it wasn't packed like it always is, tonight! But outstanding food & service!!! Wasn't crowded tonight! Got overcharged, but mistakes happen. Great food, as always!
An amazing diner where dinner feels like home cooking. The portions were huge. The prices were low. May want a driver because I was ready for a nap before my plate was clean. Don't miss it in the banana pudding!! We literally went back another day just to get another bite of this sweet southern delight!
