Hall's on the River

1225 Athens Boonesboro Road, Winchester, KY - (859) 527-6620
Posted By Jim Madden on 12/17/2008 4:10:00 PM
I have been eating at Hall's on the River since I was eight. We recently met there to celebrate my 44th birthday. It was probably the worst meal I can ever remember eating in all my 44 years.

Hall's has had its ups and downs since the Hall family sold the restaurant back in the 80s but this was the worst meal I have ever attempted to choke down. Much of the atmosphere and river charm is gone. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. To anyone who remembers the old Hall's and is thinking of visiting central Kentucky anytime soon and having a meal at Hall's to bring back those old memories: save your gas, money, and Pepto. Trust me on this one. I give it till January 2009 unless some serious changes are made.

Hall's makes a fine, hearty version of the Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich.

Instead of turkey and bacon, this open-faced sandwich relies on fish and seafood as its main ingredients.

Hall's fried green tomatoes are as good as they get.

The menu calls the beer cheese soup spicy, but we found it more heavy and rich.

Hall's's beer cheese is so popular it's sold in area stores, but the good stuff goes right from the kitchen to your table.

The outside deck overlooking the Kentucky River is a pleasant, relaxing place to enjoy a meal.

The riverside deck at Hall's is perfect for a summer drink.

Located far out into the country, people drive long distances to enjoy Hall's good food and atmosphere.
