Recently moved back to Louisville and wanted a good meal and I remembered "Our Best". My wife and I made the drive on Sunday after Raving about past visits, 7 years ago. For a Sunday, we waited only 20 minutes to be seated. All I could remember was the best fried chicken around. We each placed our orders, my wife got the meat loaf, my favorite, the fried chicken. It was busy but not packed our meal took almost 25 minutes to be brought to the table. The fried chicken was hot. My wife's meat loaf turned out to be cold inside and uncooked. The middle was red like uncooked hamburger. We sent it back immediately. Another piece was brought out but was still undercooked to out liking. She had ordered pinto beans for a side and they were bland and cold. By then the chicken had cooled and I couldn't wait to dig in. The flavor was as I remembered it, however, the chicken was extremely tough and not fully cooked off the bone. I have to say I was very disappointed with our meals and won't be going back, worst meal I've had in a long time. I don't know what changed but a new cook might be a good start. Awful meal at any cost.

Very poor service, and food- the restaurant was probably 80% empty- the restaurant was also probably about 65 degrees- we sat down at 10:34, was told breakfast stopped at 10:30, ok - We will take lunch- 17 minutes later our waitress showed up and told us, lunch doesn't start until at least 11, we have a small kitchen and it takes a while to finish breakfast. Food came out 11:37 for two people- order was not right.

A great experience. Driving an hour and a half to get there and it is well worth it. I will go back. A delicious expansive menu. Great service.

Do yourself a favor and go eat at this restaurant. We have now had both Breakfast and Lunch here and everything we have ordered was SO delicious, served hot and our waitress Windy is simply amazing. The fried chicken and pork chops are delicious, fried corn bread which is complimentary with your meal is amazing. We also loved the Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and took home a piece of peanut butter pie, delicious. The restaurant is a hidden gem that we wish we had discovered way before now. The management is top notch also. We DEFINITELY will go back again and again.

We catered our family Christmas party from Our Best. The food was soooo good. Our children and grandchildren were delighted. The fried chicken and pork chops were a big hit. We had baked apples, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, and greenbeans for sides. There was enough to feed an army ! The staff went out of their way to make sure everything was ready on time and piping hot. Thank you!!

This was our first time visiting this establishment and we were so happy we stopped. The breakfast food was delicious. The Sausage Gravy and biscuits were amazing. Bacon and pancakes were delicious too. Not to mention how neat the inside of the restaurant is. And I can't forget fresh flowers on every single table, and the best service we have had just about anywhere else. We will definitely be back to try the supper menu.

My sister took me there last week. Nice looking building on the outside. Going through the door was like a step through time. Our modern day facade faded away to the 1800's. Barn structure in appearance with dim lighting ( perfect for a relaxing meal). Pretty crowded when we arrived and hostess found us a little out of the way table. Table didn't wobble and chairs were solid ( how often has that ruined a meal)? Roast beef sandwich was huge. We totally enjoyed ourselves. Our server was courteous and efficient. I regret I forgot her name. I'll get it next time. Place reminded me of Cracker Barrel with all the antiques but instead of being overhead were on the walls and shelf's. Didn't worry about dust falling in the food. We didn't dine in the main room so I don't know if the walls were saturated with TVs. Hope not. Spacing between tables was adequate to move around without bumping into people sitting down. Hope to have the same good experience tomorrow when I take my wife there.

We were disappointed in the Chicken Froed steak and the hot beef sandwich. The fried green tomatoes and fried okra were good. I liked the cornbread but my companion did not.

Our Best catered our daughter’s wedding, and we couldn’t be happier! The food was absolutely delicious, the team was a joy to work with, and they made everything so easy on the big day. They knew exactly what to do and made the catering completely stress-free, allowing us to just enjoy the moment. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or special event—and if I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

Second time here and the chicken was so delicious and freshly cooked. Sue was personable and was so sweet. She made sure we had what we needed even though she had quite a few tables. We will definitely be back when we are in the area as we are from central Indiana.

A little noisy but good was fantastic. Ambiance was definitely country. Servers were gracious and attentive to our needs (party of four old Vietnam vets) including laughing at our jokes.

Top notch home cooked meals that was one of the best meals I have had in recent memory. Kind of like Cracker Barrel but much better. For a restaurant that is several miles from Louisville and in the middle of a small town they must be doing something right. I hear that there are generally waits for lunch and dinner. They have a big parking lot and after eating there I see why. The roast beef sandwich with homemade gravy was a big hit. The chicken fried beef steak was very good. Lima beans also excellent. The fried cornbread was an excellent addition to the meal. Best sweet tea too. For dessert we all had cobbler with ice cream. Peach, blackberry and cherry. It was a tasty ending to a perfect meal. If you live in Louisville it is worth the drive to visit here. Our Best has figured out the right formula for success. The presentation of the meal was spot on. The wait staff did not miss a beat. Our visit was very relaxing and I enjoyed the decor. Keep it up you guys! Of course they have had 30 years to work out the kinks, and it shows. I look forward to making my way there for many more meals.

Great for special occasions or every day. Our daughter & son in law had never been, so We took her for her BDay 🎂. Guests had the Rib Eye Steak, Fried Chicken, & Sampler Plate. Every dish 😋 was a HIT !

I loveeed my food! This place made me feel so at home! This amazing country food can not be beat. I had the all you can eat bluegill dinner. Fish was fried perfectly, my fried green tomatoes were so yum, beans were seasoned to perfection. One thing that stood out was the CORNBREAD! Probably the best I’ve had way from home. One thing though, it seemed that the wait was a little long, but definitely not something that made the experience bad. The service was GREAT. The employees were as sweet as pie. EAT HERE!

Always good food! I have never NOT enjoyed the food and the service here! It's always PACKED, which is the sign of a great restaurant. They don't take reservations, so realize, it's 1st come, 1st served. But, you won't be disappointed. For more info and photos, see Tingle Travel Agency on Facebook.

Today's #jeepventure took us about an hour away to this quaint little restaurant. #ourbestrestaurant #smithfieldkentucky The food was all good, but that pork chop and fried cornbread were fantastic. I enjoyed the atmosphere, decor, and those vibrant, fresh cut carnations on every table is a nice touch

We both had fried chicken. Two piece was plenty for us and the fried chicken and fried cornbread meal was the best. The Lima’s were a little salty and I prefer them with more ‘pot licker’. The mashed potatos were good, and the coconut cream pie was awesome. Service by Madison was very good - attentive but not hovering. If you want to taste Southern Cooking, this is it!

Best fried chicken in Kentucky! Lacey was a great server and made excellent recommendations. Salad/Blue cheese dressing and the whole onion rings were great. Had a combo dinner and had to take food home. The wife ordered Cherry Cobbler as dessert, wow! Our 1st time here....hope to return!

Good/great home style comfort food, prepared on site fresh - including salad dressings. Pleasant surroundings with great service and plentiful portions. Big front porch to relax and wait if restaurant is busy, but waiting is worth the visit. My personal opinion is more seasoning could be used, but that's my opinion. Also possibly my preference, the fried cornbread was more like a crepe - very thin, not like what they used to serve when it looked like a pancake, still very tasty.

Found this restaurant on the "Get off the couch and see Kentucky "app. It was good with large portions of country cooking. I had the roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and green beans. The Mrs tried the fried chicken, which was delicious crispy juicy and white. The couple with us had the liver and onions and grilled chicken. The grilled corn bread was thin and crispy and fantastic with applebutter! For dessert, I tried the blackberry cobbler, and the Mrs had the peach cobbler!

Was told about this place by a customer of ours. To be honest after looking it up on maps I never thought I would be in the area to give it a try. However after a night in Cincinnati for a concert, we found ourselves close enough to go out of our way for this place. We are glad we did! Service, Atmosphere, and the Food was excellent. We enjoyed the meatloaf fried chicken and the pork tenderloin. If your close by give this place a try! The lemon 🍋 pie was best I have ever had!!

Our first time here and we loved the food! Got a salad to try their homemade Bleu Cheese dressing and it was delicious! Husband got the fries with his burger and they didn't disappoint! My son said it was the best chicken legs. We ordered the fried pickles and they came out hot & fresh! Wish we lived closer because we would definitely go back again!!

My grandfather loves this place. It's decent for what it is. A better quality cracker barrel is what I would call it. The staff is friendly and professional. The manager seems to be a people mover. Food is good. Prices are fair. If in the area try it out.
