Rodney’s On Broadway

A real find — stopped by on my trip back from Dayton to Atlanta, and I’ll be back. The character and atmosphere of Rodney’s is great, an old house turned restaurant, with a wide selection of choices on the menu. Enjoyed a huge wedge salad, and thought the shrimp and scallops dish was exceptional. Stop by if you’re in the area, you’ll enjoy food, service and the setting!

Was accomodating some overseas clients and I picked this place blind… what a find!
Never expected to find a restaurant of this caliber in Georgetown Ky
Excellent food surpassed only by the exceptional service
This is now my «Go To» spot in the area!

Rodneys was definitely worth the drive. We live on the south side of Lexington and made the short drive to Georgetown, and wow was it worth it. The food was high-​quality well presented and delicious. To make the experience even more enjoyable, Rodney, his wife and staff were extremely friendly. We highly recommend Rodneys, and will definitely be making more trips to Georgetown

I have eaten at lot of places in my life and Rodney’s on Broadway is hands down my favorite. Excellent food, great atmosphere, friendly people that make you feel like family. I recommend Rodney’s to everyone I know and meet. I love this place.
Hint — Always listen to the specials of the night before looking at menu. Your taste buds will be blown away by the whole experience. Very creative and there is NO place like it anyway.

The seasoning and flavor of the steak was AMAZING! One of the best I’ve had in a while.

The service was fine but the food was just average. There was only one choice for Chardonnay by the glass as well as the Cab. We were disappointed as the Unilocal rating was a 5 and we feel we were mislead

This place is awesome. The Cuban pork shank is one of the best things I have ever eaten. Mushrooms were great the rice tonight was desert worthy! If you are ever near here, you MUST eat here!!!

The best Georgetown has to offer. Incredible food and service. Top echelon dining in this quaint town. I’m eating here whenever I’m in town. Keep up the good work.

My girlfriend took me to Rodney’s for my birthday at the end of July. I told her I had wanted to try it because of the great reviews and word of mouth. We were super impressed to say the least. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The reservation process was very easy through Unilocal,and Elizabeth answered emails very promptly and courteously. The ambiance was very nice, it had a formal feel to it, which we enjoyed since we were celebrating and dressed for the occasion. For our appetizer we both ordered the lobster bisque. We had heard great things about it so of course we tried it. Absolutely the best tasting bisque I have had. It was fresh, creamy, and that homemade croûton on top was full of flavor to complement the dish. I wanted more but knew I had a full meal ahead of me. While waiting for the main course we had the bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. It melted in your mouth with flavor. Simple, yet hit the spot wonderfully. For the main course I ordered the lamb chops. I love lamb, and not seeing it on many menus in the area I knew that’s what I wanted. It was delicious. Not only was the flavor there, but you also received three chops to ensure you were satisfied, mainly because you just wanted to keep eating that amazing meal! My girlfriend ordered the Chef’s Signature Pasta dish and said she thoroughly enjoyed it. Her pasta dish included a couple of surprise pieces of bacon which was an interesting addition and well received. The dish had plenty of chicken and sides were not needed. We both enjoyed our meal, the wine, and the ambiance. I was having a great birthday, but once we had dessert we were blown away… salted caramel cheesecake! I mean, wow, we were in foodie heaven the entire time we were there and left impressed, full, and happy. Rodney’s did an amazing job from Rodney, Elizabeth, the wonderful wait staff, and all the personal touches we enjoyed throughout the evening. We can’t wait to go back… again, and again.

We found this spot while on the road. Stopped for the night and didn’t want the usual chain food scene. Rodney’s really was perfect. Steak was amazing good, staff was five star, and Rodney came to say hi and double check the level of «done» we wanted our steak. All around worth stopping in. Menu is filled with good taste. We will come here when through the area again for sure. Upscale yet casual… Just really nice. Oh and the bar is well stocked including an unusual selection of infusions.

The food was excellentl!
Our server, Rebecca was delightful!
The décor was excellent!
The shrimp and scallops was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
All three of our deserts were phenomenal.
We’ll be back.

The drink menu is unique in its own right but food menu continues to follow that path as well. Tonight we had filet, beef medallions, and lamb shank. All were excellent. The presentation of each plate was wonderful. Vegetable and potato compliments were delicious, and there are many more types of compliments available.
The location is easy to reach and parking is wonderful with parking in the back near the patio dining and along the street in the front. The house was converted for dining years prior but the proprietors have appointed it comfortably including a couch seating off the bar area. The TV in the bar is never too loud. Cleanliness is consistent on every level, from front entry to bathrooms.
While I haven’t been able to say anything but flattering compliments, I’ve saved the best for last. The staff. Amazing. Rodney and Elizabeth put their touches on everything, including staff selection, and that is a very good thing. Professional, knowledgeable, nice, and prompt. Always ready with a smile while doing everything possible to make your dining experience wonderful
Lexington establishments have nothing on this gem.

Wonderful setting, cozy bar and lounge area looked comfortable and enjoyable. Tables are spread throughout the expansive brick home. Excellent cocktail selection. I would come back and back just to make my way through the list. We also enjoyed a nice sparkling moscato.
While I would revisit Rodney’s, I expected more from a restaurant with so many 5-​star reviews. Highlights are the reductions and sauces. Lows included pastas and steak. The real «meat» of the dishes were lacking. Just nothing to knock my socks off. The petite filet was fine but the macaroni and cheese was not what I expect from a southern fine dining establishment. I expect thick and creamy and instead I got runny and bland.
Overall I gave this restaurant a 4 because I would certainly revisit it and perhaps try some other dishes, but just didn’t feel as though the food warranted the 5-​star reviews it has.

Without a doubt 5 stars! I arrived late so there were only a few people at the bar. But Chef Rodney was sitting there and chatting with the customers. He showed me how beautiful the tuna looked when he got it fresh that day from a photo on his IPad. Funny, I love to take pictures of awesome food too! Everyone was super nice and the bartender makes her own flavor infused vodkas with which to make awesome cocktails. If I’m ever in the area I’ll definitely stop by again … Definitely worth an hour or two drive to eat there!

I went to Rodney’s for my birthday dinner and had the most decadent meal of my life. My husband said «Order whatever you want» and I did. The special that night was three beef tenderloins with three different sauces — blue cheese, hollandaise and a port wine reduction. On the side I got a lobster tail cooked in a cognac cream sauce. That was a pure When Harry Met Sally moment right there. On the side I had a panko crusted baked potato and sauteed mushrooms. For dessert, I had the white chocolate cake with raspberry sauce — it was huge and I had to take it home.
The atmosphere was classy and comfortable. It was such a delight to be out after being snowed in for so many weeks. If you’re looking for fine dining in Georgetown, this is the place to go.

If you’re in Georgetown and you’re eating anywhere else, you’re doing it wrong.
Aged beef. Fresh pasta. Proper cocktails. Best place in a 100 mile radius.

Excellent all around.
The blue cheese, bacon and cheese chips were a great choice of an appetizer
Had a great bourbon and an awesome hamburger.
Friend I was with has eaten here 3 other times.
Only complaint is the fries or appetizer chips were not deep fried enough to be crispy. Kinda greasy really. Maybe that is the local way to eat them.
Will be back and looking forward to the best filet anywhere as they advertise

I was expecting a great restaurant experience based on Unilocal reviews. I was disappointed. Unilocalers let me down. Or maybe Rodney let me down.
We started with crispy calamari. The calamari were tender but greasy and tasted bitter, like they were fried in old oil. (Old oil would be a problem later also.) Grease pooled on the plate. The marinara sauce served with was excellent. $ 8
We went on a Tuesday. Maybe they change their oil for the weekend.
We chose the special, white lasagna with homemade sausage, which was raved about by our efficient server. The homemade sausage was delicious, not spicy, just meaty and tasty. However, it overwhelmed the amazing homemade pasta and delicious mushrooms. It was like a pound of ground meat and 3 little pieces of lasagna noodle. Was there any cheese in this lasagna? I couldn’t tell. The white sauce that was advertised was nowhere to be found. Maybe it was just very light. The portion size was good. It was tasty. It was $ 25 and came with one side. We chose sweet potato slaw because we like both. It was really just raw julienne veggies with a very light dressing. Not too exciting.
I had the prime beef burger because I can never pass up a good burger. The server did not ask how I wanted it cooked. I found out why. The patty was very thin. It was cooked to death, a black and grey puck. The bun was nothing special. The tomato slice was tired. It had been refrigerated! The pickles were limp and left a green coloring on the bun and onion. Gross! The burger came with fries, which had good flavor but were ruined by the old fryer grease. The fries were limp, greasy and an unappealing color. $ 15. I could have gotten a better burger at Cookout for less than $ 5. Seriously.
We drank water. My wife wanted a beer but there was no beer on the drink menu, just mixed drinks and wine???
After the disappointing meal, we skipped dessert.
$ 51 plus $ 10 tip.

We loved it so much we had to align our travels back through Georgetown just 6 days from our first experience to enjoy Rodney’s one more time. My wife was fantasizing about the blackberry sangria so we had to come back and the master chef Rodney said he would create an entire meal just for us. Wow, each course was a delight to the palate.
Don’t come here if you do not want an amazing culinary experience. And yes the people and the service make you feel special.

If you’re looking for an awesome meal, do not skip this place. There are items on the menu that are pricey, but the 8 oz burger and fries were only $ 13.
Our waiter was very friendly and informative. He explained the featured items of the day and a bit about the history of the restaurant and it’s chef/​owner. Actually, everyone in the restaurant was friendly, my husband took a tour around the restaurant which was once a historical home but now is modern, with a classy touch.
My food… I had $ 8 calamari appetizer, which was the best that I have ever had. The marinara sauce was excellent too. I added on an order of fries for $ 3 and made a meal out of the two dishes. The bread that was served before the meal, with oil, herb and Parmesan was excellent too. I would eat here often if I lived in the area. The people of Georgetown are lucky to have this gem.
