    Despite wait for table and out of ribs and grits our meal was great. Service the best. Even the owner helped out. They are closed now for 2 weeks for vacation. I await their return. My favorite. Owner Joanie is the best.

    Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.

    Make a reservation, but be prepared to wait. Food is outstanding! Wait staff was sub-par as compared to previous visits.
