Cottage Inn

The first few times I visited Cottage Inn I wasn't particularly impressed.  The food was just ok.  Not bad just not exceptional.  I normally would not have suggested this place for dinner even though I can walk there from my house.  I figured recently after a discussion with my brother in law I probably wouldn't go back.  He had recently been and said he received cold food and was pretty sure things were being microwaved.  Since I can easily nuke dinner at home I generally don't wish to pay to get nuked food in a restaurant.  So why three stars you ask? I actually considered four stars based on my most recent trip but bumped it back to three because of my prior experiences. As I said before I hadn't planned to return to the Cottage Inn but I was having dinner with a friend and he suggested it.  I'm agreeable so to the Cottage Inn we went.  I figured if nothing else I'd have more ammo for a bad review! We arrived at around 630 and the place was maybe 2/3 full.  We grabbed a table and we were informed it was all you can eat fried chicken night.  I never remembered what night that was!  We both decided to go with the chicken.  The chicken was amazing.  It was juicy and flavorful. I had the green beans and mashed potatoes and both were also very good, well seasoned and well cooked.  A definite improvement from my previous visits.  The service was just so so but the food was great.  I was relieved I didn't have the same experience as my brother in law and some of the other reviewers had.  Maybe this place is taking an up swing! We can hope! I will definitely be back!

Dry sandwich, dry fried pork chops. It looked cute though. This is a definite skip for Yelpers. This is not the food you are looking for, move along, move along.

THEY NUKED MY FRIED CHICKEN.  One day after our 4-star review, we arrive in Louisville and head for heart-stopping goodness.  We sent back semi-raw chicken and heard the microwave door slam shut.  2 minutes later, same chicken is NOW a piece of steaming rubber!  Do they think I am at home?  I eat out to avoid cooking by radar.  The menu says fried chicken.  It should say  "delicious fried chicken reheated in a microwave and served extra chewy".

Say it ain't so, Joe!  One of our favorite places for grease and flavor, just fell off our radar.  Next thing you know they will forget to overcook the veggies. Then what?
