    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!

    We had a great evening out at Tousey House Tavern with six of our neighbors! Our table was ready right on time! Had excellent service. Enjoyed a delicious bourbon slush and the delectable filet with risotto! All around great experience!

    The service was great. The food was reasonably priced. I gave it three stars because getting to our table felt very cramped. There wasn't a lot of room, but when we sat down at our table we felt so far away from each other because the table was long. Also, we sat at a table against the wall and the table was on an incline (you could feel and see that we were sitting at an angle). Other than that the food was great. Our food was hot, and well seasoned. Not sure if we will go back but it was nice to try something new!

    We enjoy brunch nearly every Sunday at Tousey and it is always delicious. If we've ever experienced any issues at all, it was very quickly taken care of. James is such a sweet and kind server. The staff is always friendly and helpful to us.

    The ambiance is so nice, I love the unique character. I think the food was really good especially for the price. Get the Harvest Salad, you will not be disappointed. 🤤

    We thought the restaurant was nice. Was looking for a little bit more of an upscale. I realize that it was casual, but there were some people dressed up others were in sweatshirts. We mentioned it was our 41st wedding anniversary, and the lady that greeted us coming in was aware of it. Our waitress was not aware of it and nothing after that. The table upstairs was extremely slanted it made you think things were falling off. I did enjoy the old time charm. I had the chicken thigh dish was phenomenal and my husband had the walleye which he said was very good. Our waitress did not acknowledge our anniversary and she did say do we want anything else but you did not offer dessert. It’s a nice restaurant and I think we will be back. Stacy

    Everything was excellent except the cod was a bit overcooked. The pork loin sandwich was fantastic and we loved the fries. Also enjoyed the Bloody Mary. The service was superb.
