    We had the prime rib, filet & scallops. All were delicious. Greg the bartender always has great recommendations for us and gives us exceptional service; hence why we keep going back!😍

    About 5 parking spots in front of the restaurant. Plenty of free parking in a lot about half a block away. Fried chicken dinner was as good as ever. 20 min wait but is well worth it!! Filet tip wrap was unbelievable. All American Bacon Burger was very good (including the crispy fries). Appeltini was on par. Waiter was friendly, attentive and offer suggestions. Wish we had room for dessert.

    Other large tables were very loud. Would only expect that kind of noise at a sports bar. Food was great though.

    Always love going to Tousey House. Been going there for years! Great food, service and ambiance...we three ladies were celebrating birthdays. Had a great server...she brought us wonderful cobbler (they're known for) and we totally enjoyed our time together. And thank you for always helping support the Florence Womans Club and our Kiwanis Club of Boone County with our community fundraisers. Thanks again for the best of everything for me and my friends. Chris

    Half of our party was late and it was not an issue that we were there longer. Our waitress was absolutely amazing.
