Located at the top of a hill in Mt. Vernon, Kentucky. It's very hidden and hard to find. I advice is to look up high and you will see it. Once here it is worth it. You will find some great cooks and waitresses that are anxious to serve you. They have great country food here too. Not to mention their sweet tea. They have daily specials so pay attention to sign on the left just as you walk in. I got the daily special for $5.99. menu items ordered: collared greens, fried corn bread, northern white beans and fried green tomatoes with a roll. She brought me my sweet tea immediately and a roll with butter. The fried green tomatoes were great as they came with two sauces which were ranch and chipotle. The collared greens with fried corn bread were delicious as I ate them together. I added a little salt and pepper to taste. The corn bread was unusual as it was flat and round like a pan cake. The beans were brought out in a great big bowl and they were so good.

A client took me here and told me that their food is second to none here in Mt. Vernon. I asked him what good to order and he told me everything. I ordered blackened grilled catfish and the catfish was some of the best I have eating, sweet potatoes and rice was also good. The portions were huge and the staff was so friendly. Price was reasonable. Will come back here again.

The fried green tomatoes are to die for!!! Mashed potatoes made from scratch, absolutely delicious. If you're homesick for real food skip the franchised establishments and head here!

This is such a great hidden gem....a nice break from all the fast food crap! Friendly and VERY clean including the bathrooms which is a nice change from the sticky, stinky fly infested floors of those fast food bathrooms on the road. This to me says a LOT about a restaurant! Their food was great too...nothing fancy but exactly what we'd expect from a southern grill. If you're on a diet, stick to a salad. My family of 6 all loved their meals! Only suggestion we'd make is a better sign to attract patrons and sprucing up the entrance with some pretty landscaping. So glad we decided not to pass this up!!

Hard-to-find but worth the search. Four of us had separate meals, one shrimp, one salmon, one catfish and one frog legs. All of our meals were wonderful and the service was great. The best restaurant in Renfro Valley and we will be back.

I've ate here several times and the food and service are great. The bade reviews her are just sort of stupid. Bad chix for a heart patient? Maybe don't eat fried foods spanky. Maybe try a salad or one of thier grilled checkin or steaks.What short bus did you arrive there in? I'll agree the TAP WATER is not of bottled quality. I hardly can fault a restaurant for the water that is in their pipes. The chix tenders are hand breaded in house, the fries are do not sit under a lamp because they are cooked to order. Just ate the ribeye tonight. My wife had a chicken salad. My (medium rare) steak was prepared perfectly and the wife's salad was great as well. The place was pretty busy but our server made sure to take great care of us. I honestly could not ask for a better meal for the money. We also had an appetizer called Limestone Bites. Roasted jalapeno rings with a nice seasoning, (real)bacon bits, and a light shredded cheese. It comes with a ranch dressing on it but we opted for it on the side. Really tasty little dish. They have grilled options of r many of their deep fried meals. The not so good reviews show me a lack of this task. They keep their menu simple as possible but will do many things upon request. All in all I have yet to have a ad experience in The Limestone Grille. From the owners tot he server staff they have always been very friendly and helpful. My steak tonight was even better then normal and that's honestly hard to believe being the are so good to begin with. I worked in kitchens back when and understand food-service from all angles of production as well as service. It's usually people like me that are harder to please as we know what you are doing. I have ordered my steaks the same way for over 40 years and at least half the time they are not prepared correctly. The cook staff at Limestone Grille do not have this problem. Every time I order a steak it is prepared correctly and presentation is excellent. It is not a 5 star restaurant. what it is is good family sit down dining. I would think any grown up would understand the difference. Bottom line is the Limestone Grille has: Good management, Good service, And a good production staff. You really can not ask for more. Check it out. you will not be sorry.

The food we had was decent but not outstanding. Be warned though: 1. All of the fish is fried. There is no blackened fish as mentioned in some reviews. 2. The water is bad, really bad. Bring your own or plan on drinking a soda.

Had the blackened salmon on a bed of wild rice and side salad. Good food and service.

Can't believe people say this is the best place to eat in the area. I guess it's all relative. Everything that is fried, catfish, chicken tenders, frog legs, pickles must be fried in the same oil cause it all tastes the same....bland. Service was good but food was terrible.

There is no wait unlike the Lodge Restaurant down the road. I had balsamic chicken with wild rice and green beans and it was only $6.00.
