Our Best Restaurant Review (Smithfield, Kentucky)

[@mitchelllamb4784]

One of the best hidden gems in Kentucky

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I agree.

[@cb6832]

I was one of the people who recommended this place to you and i am glad to hear yall enjoyed it.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you for recommending. It was awesome!

[@wontoo3for564]

😊 Hello. I'm glad I came across your video about Our Best restaurant in Smithfield, Henry County, Ky I've never been, but now that I have seen your video I will go there to enjoy some Kentucky country cooking. 😅 Oh and by the way some of us city people do know about that fried 🌽 cornbread. Thanks for the video!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Lol!! Nothin like that cornbread. You’re gonna love it!

[@wontoo3for564]

[@rebeccahernandez3460]

I was at Our Best Restaurant once before and got the fried pork chop which was thick and very tender with a wonderful crisp coating, mashed potates and fried green tomatoes both which were so very good. Also the fried cornbread, which I haven't seen seen I was a child. I highly recommend this place. The staff is friendly and so nice and anything you ask for they will get you. I've never tried any of there pies or cobblers, cause I simply have no room after the portions they give you with your meal. But go and experience this place where good country cooking has no equal.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I whole heartedly agree with every word.

[@scottmcknight8805]

I wish I had your appetite. I love to watch you eat!

It’s definitely a treasure. Very nice folks as you said. Can’t wait to go back.

[@kellycuckoo3143]

[@CindyYr11]

The food really looked tasty. I can’t believe how many chicken livers that were served. I know your dad would score with the fried green tomatoes. I love them too but can’t get them anywhere locally so I bought some from an Amish gentleman at the Farmers Market $2.00 each. Don’t laugh but I wanted some southern food so went to Cracker Barrel and had fried orca , greens and chicken n dumplings. I got the hot sauce and put it on the greens and orca . Gooood! I had juice in the serving dish and wanted to chug it but my daughter told me, “Don’t you dare “! THEN I saw that you did what I wanted to do but it would not bother me but my kid would be totally embarrassed 🙈 so I kept the peace. She definitely will see you slurp that juice! Long story short????

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

That was a great story. I have never had a bad meal at Cracker Barrel. It’ll do in a pinch. Love their breakfast. I’m not wasting a morsel and too hungry to be embarrassed..

awsome! We ate at the one that used to be in fern creek, great chicken liver dinner! I didn't know about the original!

[@stevemontgomery1177]

It’s been too long since I have eaten out there. I used to pass Our Best frequently when I was doing business in Eminence. The oysters, greens, and beans with onions have convinced me it’s time to make another trip.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Let me know how it was.

[@gaylegordon5797]

The Fried corn brad is GREAT but you missed one of my faves... the chicken friend pork chops or steaks with gravy. They were still are?) Well known for their pies...people used to come in and just order a pie to take home. When we'd have people come out to do work we'd tip them with a gift cert to Our Best, so they could enjoy a meal and get to know a great local biz.😃👍

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

That was very nice of y’all to give out gift certificates. What a bonus!!

[@carnagerush8138]

I passed this place many times making deliveries to Eminence, truck was always too big for me to get in there. May have to take a little road trip down there, looks good!

Hello again sir, new follower here. Just been watching your videos and realize you like greens and can tell what kind they are. I’m curious as to what your favorite is…..Kale, Collard, or Turnip?

[@mongrelgtv]

that place should always be packed beautiful beautiful dining room

[@johnroberts5637]

I lived in Lagrange in the early 80's and the old Smithfield mill that used to be across the street from Our Best was still in operation. Their products were sold in all the little stores in the area, and their flour, whole wheat flour, and corn meal was hard to beat. I agree with everything you said about Our Best, it's still one of my favorite places to eat. I would disagree with one thing you said, though, some city people DO know a little something about fried corn bread. First fried cornbread I remember being served was in a short lived storefront restaurant at 9th and Broadway in Downtown Louisville. Place was called "Van's Gumbo" and just about anything you ordered came with some fried cornbread. It was only open for about a year or so, back in the early 2000's, but their food was fantastic, and they had the best chicken wings I've ever had.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I wish I knew all that great information about the mill before the video. We didn’t know much at the time and were just able to mention it. Unfortunately the fried cornbread in tge city must have been in a gone by era because you don’t get or see it anywhere. Thanks for reaching out.

[@Two_chair_Lynn]

I worked at the one that was open in Louisville, and idk if maybe we got different stuff, but literally nothing was "homemade", especially not the apple butter, it came in a plastic tub 😂 and the fried chicken came frozen and pre breaded.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Totally different those locations. Those were franchise stores. That’s why they went out of business. I talked to the owner and he told me about what you said.

[@terrib627]

That was probably Fern Creek. I enjoyed them when they first opened, but then they start cutting corners and closed because people could go to Cracker Barrel for mass produced food.

[@rogerrenfrow]

Did they used to have a location in Jefferson County? That must be them, the rose logo looks familiar. I really miss that place.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

For a short time.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Yes, For a short time.

I come from rural Mississippi, never seen no fried cornbread or mustard on white beans. Interesting to see regional variations.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

The mustard on beans is not necessarily a Kentucky thing. I think it’s more “My Dad’s” thing. Fried cornbread is common though.

[@robbin.s]

That’s for the reminder about this restaurant. It’s been years since I’ve been there. I think it’s time to go back. The only way my mom cooked cornbread was fried.

I’ve been there! Such a great place. They tried to expand in Louisville but the story is there was some mishandling of money and the stores didn’t make it

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I talked to the owner about it. Some investors got involved that knew nothing about the restaurant business.

[@kybelle457]

Ok friend. Gonna drop a sad bomb. My mom died atv5:43 am on July 14th 2017. Hurts like hell. Seeing the food you're eating brings back memories.

In this part of the video the portions are hugh and I have never heard of fried cornbread maybe baked but fried and I know of cornbread muffins which I enjoy with my tea or coffee like Iike my Danish but no croissant and I know how to make it and I know the base as I am not a pastry chef but I know the basic things like brownies pancakes french toast different pies basic home style things and because I am from Honolulu Hawaii I know how to make Malasadas which is a fritter rolled in sugar and the cousin is the Italian zeppolie which you can find in any Italian bakery but they are rolled in powered sugar and you can pipe pastry cream peanut butter jam and jellies pudding just use your imagination and come up with something lot of different things but it's got to be sweet and not savory and making Italian style tiramisu Italian classic dessert and it's not cheap but I know how to make it because they will charge you 6.00 per portion and I can make it for less than half the price retail as I know the difference between wholesale and retail retail is for the customer you have to know the price structure how it works and know how to purchase in bulk or no because if you mark it to high the consumer won't buy it and you will be stuck with it it's all about volume and turnover numbers is what speaks sales to on a retail level and how you market your products very important and the display is also very important
