7/08/2023Gotta go back up to 5 here. Service was fantastic. Granted I came in before they got crowded. And I got the big ribeye steak, salad and baked potato. And it was wonderful. I had to sit there and just enjoy the aroma of the steak before I could dig in! See pics. David, waited on me personally. And that sure helped! EXCELLENT MEAL!7/05/2023 update: Been eating here most of the week. Still Estill's best choice, unless Lester's is open. Has seemed plenty clean this week. Improved service. David is still the manager here. The hamburger is also pretty good here. Language barrier can effect your experience, if you do not speak a little Spanish .. but they try hard.. .6/23/2022 BIRTHDAY, update... much improved this evening. Bugs eliminated. Really clean. Got what I wanted. Good, pleasant service. Good food. Quick! Back up to 4 stars. By myself. Wish the family had had this experience. New pics.....6/17/22 update... Oh well, fire's out.... I brought my family to this place I had enjoyed so much. I had bragged about it. They were traveling with me today. Even though the sign says "seat yourself," we were rushed to a table in a corner. I expressed disappointment. To which, I was told "This is it." We are cleaning the other side. This is where you have to sit. Too bad. So sad. I asked for David the manager. "He is not here. No consolation. No conciliation. No concern. .. Not happy with having to sit in the corner for such an expensive lunch. Rating down from 5 to 3. Between the flies and the gnats, they are lucky it is a 3...---------------In Estill, there aren't a lot of food choices. I have always liked this little place (4 star like), but recently they have jumped to a 5 star recommendation. Sometimes a change of ownership and management is a good thing and sometimes not. In this situation, it certainly is a good thing.. My friend Cecil and I came here Saturday night. I saw on someone's plate the biggest steak, I have seen served East of Texas. I've been on a diet but I hadn't eaten. So I guess I overdo it but it would really work it. And pointed to it and told my server whatever he had I wanted one of those. Come to find out the server was actually the owner. No exaggeration that steak was at least 24 oz. I had to insist that Cecil helped me with it. For $20, they had to go in the hole. And it was terrific. Serviceand food tonight is again fantastic. Just to make sure, I asked David Was he the owner & of course he was. His pride and courtesy made it obvious. Not only would I say to come here if you happen to be passing through Estill. But if you're nearby it'll be Worth a few miles to come out of your way. They serve a buffet at lunch. That is Just terrific. They earned this positive review. The picture below is me in front of the restaurant. But the owner and manager David inside.Features: They clean each table extraordinarily well.But it's clean the whole time you're here. And use a glass partition to separate you during the check out procedure, while still being nice.
