“The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend who’s from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go.As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones.Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL!As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we’re all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don’t judge me.Food:Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL!Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone.Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot.Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.“
“The waitress that served us was amazing. We did have to experience conflict between staff, but our waitress was not involved. Food was reasonably priced and was amazing.Dietary restrictions: Waitress was very understanding of my allergies and was very helpful in finding food that I could eat.“
“We don't get service like this in Illinois - pretty sure the longest I had to wait for a drink was about 30 seconds. Food was great, and being right by the river adds great atmosphere. The dog friendly aspect put the cherry on top since we could let our little guy sit at our feet outside. Y'all rule.“
“Nice waiters and waitresses. The food is good, and I noticed some more meat selections and food the kiddos like to eat. I love the greens and how they always taste so good! The salad bar is amazing with plenty of selections! Especially if you are a salad eater like my family and I! The dessert bar has several selections, and the waiters have always been on point with keeping tables clear and getting drink refills. Great place for families.Kid-friendliness: Better selections are now available!“
