Came across this little place during a senior picture session and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. If you are in the area you should stop in.

Absolutely disappointed with cold, hard fries and a smash burger that was overdone to the max. Meals were inordinately late and not presented as ordered. $35 for two burnt burgers and cold carbs? No thanks. Wouldn’t go back or recommend. Cocktail was delicious.

Everything was amazing! Greeted by the owner immediately, had a chance to even have a conversation with her as we were leaving, she is so nice. All the food was amazing! We got a burger, fries, & zucchini bites. Everything was beyond perfect. We also tried a few drinks that were amazing. They have a new drink called the spicy Paloma, I had to get 2 just because it was so good. We will definitely be returning soon!

On a chilly Friday evening, Fat Man Reviews took a solo mission to visit Nightjar in Berea, KY. Nightjar, located inside Native Bagel, serves Pennsylvania Dutch-German inspired food, bird inspired craft cocktails, beer and wine.
I sampled a cocktail called the Night Hawk. It was made with Old Forester bourbon, honey, rosemary, and lemon. The drink is served in a chilled rocks glass overtop a square ice cube. You can smell the honey right away with a hint of the rosemary, but the drink is not very sweet. The lemon is very forward and the bourbon is hidden until the end, coupled with the honey it adds a slight bite to the drink.
I started with the Sauerkraut Fritters. This is prepared with mild sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, speckwurst sausage with honey mustard on the side. The fritters were fried to a perfect golden brown, and they were delicate. The sauerkraut was soft but still crunchy with light flavor. The cheese gave the inside an ooey gooey creaminess and helped bind the fritter. The surprise star was the sausage. It gives each bite a salty, fatty pork flavor. The mustard is stone ground and has a good tang to it, but I did not catch much honey in its flavor.
The special burger of the day was a Bacon Blue Burger. This burger was made with two 6oz patties, bacon jam, blue cheese on a Martin’s potato roll and served with hand cut fries. The fries were fried and seasoned well. The bacon jam was slightly sweet and there was plenty on the burger. The bacon reminded me of bacon bits and the onions were finely chopped too. The blue cheese was melted and added a nice saltiness, creaminess and sharpness to the burger. The bun was soft, fresh and the burger to bun ratio was great. The burgers had a very hard sear on them, and they were almost burnt. The burger was not bad at all but if they were a little juicer it would have been even better.
Nightjar sources their ingredients locally, and their beef specifically from Berea College farm. They also have a small menu and have limited seating. A wait is possible. The service was pretty good as well. The Fat Man says that Nightjar is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

The BEST cheeseburger in Kentucky hands down!! I swear you will make love to this burger like no one is watching. The French fries are absolute perfection. This restaurant uses fresh beef and you can taste the difference. Your tongue will slap your brains out eating it. My go-to I promise you will not regret it. They also serve cocktails made with ingredients that aren’t pumped full of sugar!

This is a diamond in the rough hiding in Berea. Great service and the food was great. We both had the fried chicken sandwich. It was a massive portion. Loved the hand cut fries and brussel sprouts.

I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was fine. The ranch cut out all of the spiciness of the buffalo sauce but there wasn’t enough to make the sandwich taste like ranch. My partner said his burger was also fine (I don’t remember the name of it but he had to ask for no jalapenos on it), I think he would have liked a regular burger better. The food was good enough that we’d go back but both try something else. The staff and atmosphere is where this place is most charming. The staff was really nice since it was our first time there and explained how everything worked and one guy ran to the back to see if they were really out of something we wanted to order (they weren’t out so my partner got his southwest style burger like he wanted). I had the pineapple cider and it was better than a regular cider. I think this would be a nice place to go if you just want a nice drink at the bar.

Everything about this place was absolutely wonderful. I went with a friend for a dinner. We were immediately greeted and given menus. The staff was incredibly friendly. We ordered our food and it came out fairly quickly. My friend and I both ordered burgers and they were absolutely deciduous! You could tell everything was very fresh from the meat, to the bun, to the veggies on top. We both ordered the banana pudding trifle and it was absolutely delicious. Between the food and the service, it was one of my best dining experiences. We’ll definitely be back.

Salty burger and the french fries were more like potato chips with how cooked they were and dry. But the stuff was very nice and on top of things, good environment
