This place has been around forever... My family went for a "last breakfast" before I headed back to LA. It's nothing fancy. They have a smoking and a non-smoking section so yeah, it smells a bit like Las Vegas in there (but I really don't mind that!). My breakfast (two eggs scrambled with cheese, biscuits, bacon and home fries) was pretty good. Home fries could be cooked a bit longer, but they're still better than most of what passes for breakfast potatoes in restaurants. Everyone else was happy with their meals. Omelets are HUGE. A little "well done" too. But not bad at all. If you want a casual, cheap and hearty breakfast, you should check this place out. But you probably already have... it's literally been there forever.

I went here for the first time on a visit back home for Christmas, it was a suggestion for breakfast. Walking in the front door you are smacked in the face with the smell of smoke. Well, if you had any appetite it's gone now. Sick. I am not custom to smoking in restaurants anymore so it definitely caught me off guard, but regardless.....it was gross. I was adamant about sitting in the non smoking area. Which just so happened to be in the back corner of the bar. It was dingy and outdated. There were 7 or 8 of us so we pulled a few tables together and ordered our food. It took an hour to get our food which I felt was crazy being that there were like 5 people total in the whole place aside from just our group. The breakfast was okay, goetta was good (mainly the reason we went) and the biscuits and gravy were just ok. I'm fairly certain the gravy came out of a can because it was very bland and flavorless. I was disappointed that we went here because I would have been much happier visiting another one of my favorites....Frisch's! :) yelp.com/biz/frischs-big… Although I went for breakfast because I was so unhappy with how it turned out I won't ever find myself here for a drink at night when I return home. All set on the Stringtown front.

I've come here on occasion for karaoke and drinks with my lady friends and have been pleased with my experience. The drinks are dirt cheap here - I can get a pint of amaretto sour (yes, a pint!) for $4. Karaoke is great - there's usually not a long wait to sing another song, you can easily do five a night. Everyone cheers for you too, it's a great time. On the other hand, Stringtown is definitely a Florence country bar. Lots of middle aged folks in blue jeans drinking Budweiser. Fun for some, but not exactly my crowd of people. In fact, I stick out like a sore thumb being from the "professional urban" community. The biggest turn-off for me is the smoking. Yes, it's a bar in Kentucky. My gripe comes from getting hoarse on my second karaoke song because of the amount of smoke. I feel bad for the bartenders. I would give Stringtown an extra star if they went non-smoking.

I'm leaving an average score also. The only time I've been to Stringtown was for breakfast. Just average breakfast,nothing to write home about. It's basically your mom and pops restaurant, bland American food. Cons: The whole place smells like an ashtray, even nonsmoking in which we asked for. Maybe one of these days Kentucky will be nonsmoking...probably no chance, especially since tobacco is its number one cash crop.

The Stringtown Bar & Grill seemed to me to have mixed identities on what kind of place they wanted to be. The smokey atmosphere and dark dining room really put an odd feeling in the air, as the apparent "regulars" of the place all stared blankly at me as we walked in. I wasn't sure if there were even any employees in the place until one appeared from the back of the room. It's safe to say this place wasn't "happening" in the conventional sense. But upon asking for non-smoking (this is in Kentucky) we were sat not in the abnormally large dining room, but in a smaller room off to the side, secluded from what seemed like everything the restaurant had to offer. A huge bar took up most of the space, despite nobody being behind it, and the smell of smoke still found its way in. The only true redeeming quality of this place was the food. The service was alright, sure, but the food in particular was great. The portions were hearty, the prices pretty low and the taste was excellent. Not gourmet good, but you know, greasy breakfast kinda good. And apart from their breakfast, their whole menu was pretty full of some staple classics. I'm curious when the place gets full, as they had multiple bars and a huge capacity for seating, but only a few patrons. I can't speak as to when they get busy. So I would imagine this is a great place to feed a whole family -if your family doesn't mind smoking- because of the price and relative quality. It seemed pretty low-key and relaxed, with decent service and a solid menu. Not great, not bad.

Had lunch and a beer with a friend here. Food was good, beer was normal, I'd go back. Nothing special though.
