Boone Co Jail Restaurant

They've recently changed up the menu and the staff with both changes resulted in a much better product. The food tastes like what you'd expect, only better. The new chef is very good at what she does and her attention to detail shows. When was the last time you were blown away by mac and cheese? Try the Jail's and you'll be impressed.

The restaurant is interesting but sitting in a cramped and stuffy jail cell wasn't something I'd do again. Menu selection was limited. Had smoked wings and a salad and the wings were tough (not smoked, deep fried it would seem) and the salad was from a bag of Dole. We would not go back.

Very different from your normal restaurant, winding set up do to the jail layout, but unique. Dinner with a little bit of history. Kind staff. Our meal was well prepared; they have the typical American diner cuisine options. I feel like the restaurant had potential to refine some of the details and improve overall.

This place legit used to be a jail, but somebody turned it into a restaurant. I really enjoyed their basic burger, the sweet tea is good but i recomend getting lemons with it. Look fir Lebanon School and take a look at their police cars for sale and then go eat burgers in a jail cell. Best day ever!

Really unique experience if you are able to sit in a cell. They've worked hard to fit a working restaurant in to the structure of this unique building. We've eaten here as a couple, family, and for a party/gathering. Each time, they had very attentive service. The food was pretty good, but I don't have a "you must get this here" recommendation. They're doing a buffet at certain times now which has a salad bar and a good variety of warm selections.
