Toad’s BARn & Grill

Great place to stop in for a bite to eat! Wide open, friendly, atmosphere that made for a great rest between hikes.

Love this place! Good food and a great hidden gem in Kentucky. Can't go wrong with a great smash burger with very fresh toppings.

My favorite place by FAR to eat in the Gorge. Great burgers, awesome staff, best bar in Kentucky and the live music is fantastic! Highly recommend!!

Best smash burger EVER!! The hot dog and homemade chili is amazing! They just announced the chili is gonna be on the menu full time! My bunch is gonna be happy!

Great atmosphere,great food and drinks were superb. Highly recommend if you enjoy enclosed outdoor dining.

It was a pretty drive from Lexington and the food and service was good. Would be really pretty when you can sit outside. It was a little chilly today. Smash burger and pickle fries. Pay the 250 to get an extra patty on your burger

Very friendly staff and clean will go again

Great food and service. Cute place. Menu is simple but better than many places in the area and it is right onside the campground we stayed at

Beautifully rustic and surprisingly cozy for an open sided barn-style establishment, it started off our trip well. Ordering was easy, food came out quick and PIPING HOT, almost too hot to eat! Below is my lunch, a BBQ Cauliflower crust pizza, which turned out to be one of the best cauliflower pizza I’ve ever had. Thank you, Toad’s! We will be back.

Friendly and fun people and delicious food

Great location, great service, great food!

Hidden gem

Such a cool venue! Lots of outdoor seating and a stage which makes me think they might offer live music on weekends. I got the Philly cheesesteak which was delicious! The pickle fries are also amazing. Fast & friendly service!

Family of four adults on trip to the Red River Gorge, Sept. 25-27, 2025. Ate supper at Toad's on Friday, Sept. 26 AND lunch on Saturday, Sept. 27. Located in the back corner of the 4 Guys RV Park; not easily seen from the road; follow signs. Varied menu; affordable; live music on Friday evening; friendly, helpful staff; prompt service; clean; patriotic; bar is separated somewhat from the rest of the restaurant; indoor and outdoor seating. This place is just a short drive from several popular attractions. Give it a try. You'll be glad you did!

Food was tasty! Wish it came with a side for the price and portions given. Was a great refresher and atmosphere after a long hike.

Awesome experience

Best place for food in the gorge

Loved my visit here! Follow the signs to get here, don't use Google maps. My smashburger was one of the best I've ever had! The food is high quality with good portion sizes- they don't skimp here. Shauna was a great bartender and the rest of the staff was so friendly and welcoming. They were playing country music and had a great, relaxed country atmosphere that I loved. I would come back 100 times over! If you are in the area or hiking and looking for a fun place to eat, come to Toads!
