    It's one of my favorite restaurants. The servers are always amazing and so friendly. Their fried chicken is amazing. Last time I got the grilled cheese but added on pulled pork and it was one of the best sandwiches of my life. I wish I could remember our servers name because he was awesome and would ask for him every time if I could. He recommends the best stuff always and even when a girlfriend and I stayed longer than normal talking he was so nice and told us to take our time. 20/10 recommend to any and everyone

    We are were in town for king of the bluegrass basketball tournament in Fairdale. The appetizer we had the tuna poke (10/10) We got a bottle of Treana Cab wine to have with our main course… My husband had the medallion filets and I had the 7 oz filet (med rare) We got cheesy potatoes and asparagus for sides to share. The portion sides are generous! Wow!!!!!! Everything was phenomenal .. and don’t even get me started on the bread with the beef mallow and garlic butter candle ….. Unreal! The service was top notch! We had reservations, and were greeted with smiles and quickly seated. Our table was cleaned and ready for each step of our experience. The atmosphere was warm, eclectic and welcoming. There was someone with his sax playing soft jazz Christmas music as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be coming back (even though it’s a 2.5 hour drive) I MUST try the Lobster Bisque next time! We love good food and exceptional service ! Thank you for the experience!

    Our experience at The Eagle was great. The service was top notch and the food was outstanding, as usual. The staff that we interacted with were very helpful and polite. While the prices for the entrees are a little high (but what isn’t expensive these days) the food is worth the money spent. I recommend the Eagle if you are in the area of the Oxmoor Mall.
