Mom and Tom's

This is a small restaurant that has been squeezed into a gas station off of Lancaster in Richmond Kentucky.  I had the opportunity to sample their breakfast.  I enjoyed a vegetable omelet and a side of bacon.  The omelet was sooo good!  It contained fresh vegetables and a wonderful amount of cheese.  It was delicious!  The other surprising fact was the side of bacon was about 6 pieces of bacon!  Most places only give you 4.  The prices are amazingly low and the food was wonderful.  I plan on returning soon.

Smitty's Southern Style BBQ

Smitty's Southern Style BBQ has become a favorite!  It is located somewhere in Richmond, Kentucky.  I say that as it is a mobile restaurant that has to move locations every 14 days.  (I just spotted him up on Big Hill today!)  This is some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten!  I have had a taste of their pulled pork sandwich which was amazingly flavored.  So good!  I also had their polish special.  It is a polish sausage smothered with onions, peppers, and a sauce that is sooo yummy!  I got the fries as my side (the other choices are coleslaw or beans) they were the perfect doneness and were fresh made.  I also had a lemonade to go with it.  Now this lemonade is fresh made and tastes like the lemonade you make when you go out and sit on the front porch swing on a hot summer night!  Delicious!

They have a small menu but they definitely know how to make those items to perfection!  I will be trying their ribs next time.  Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!  It is lunch time......

This is a wonderful little establishment and I hope that they will be around for a long time.

Gridiron BBQ

The Gridiron BBQ restaurant is in Richmond, Kentucky.  I was sorely disappointed with this restaurant.  I selected the pulled chicken with baked beans to sample.  The good thing I can say about it is that the chicken was definitely moist.  Thankfully we had the foresight to split one serving.  The sandwich was so moist that the bottom of the bun was soggy by the time it was brought to the table.  The service wasn't slow it was just that juicy.  The chicken really didn't have a lot of flavor to it (I actually added salt).  The baked beans tasted like the ones you get out of a can. 

I honestly cannot recommend this restaurant.  There are other things to try, but I won't be going back.
