    One of our very favorite places to dine locally. This was the second time in recent months we dined for brunch. Loved the Burnt ends breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and potatoes. Excellent service and setting. We'll be back!

    The staff and food were amazing but the table next to us was distracting. One lady at the table kept screaming at her family and cussing and making a scene. This went on for 2 hours, it totally ruined our experience because of her.

    Friends from Ohio asked about going here recently, so we decided to take them. It’s not far from our house, but there are so many restaurants in the Boone County, KY area that it doesn’t come to mind. The friends LOVED everything about Tousey! The food, the ambiance the service were all on point. They even declared the Fried Chicken to be better than The Old Mill in Gatlinburg! In such a tough season for restaurants, with several closing for good, I’m hoping this place remains!

    Sat in the bar area. It was cold and drafty. The bartender was rude. Our waiter was ok but he could have been more welcoming. Wait staff can make a difference in your experience. They missed tonight!
