Black Patch Grille

On vacation and stopped in to have lunch upon recommendation. Between the 6 of us we had the Pimento sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, spinach salad with chicken, club sandwich and the Reuben titled «curly». We also ordered chicken tenders from the kids menu. All of us commented how delicious the meal was, the sweet pickle resting on the top was truly the impressive touch for all of us (and I don’t like sweet pickles but this was just right). Their soup must be good because they were sold out. That was our only disappointment. The bread and veggies were very fresh. Generous portions and side item options were plentiful. What a gem in this little town!

My experience here was a rare score without first consulting Unilocal.After a long Labor Day weekend in western Kentucky, we were just driving through and stumbled across this gem at lunch time. It’s smack in middle of downtown, on the corner of Main Street, across the street from the courthouse.
We sat in the window area, so that we could watch our truck, since we had to leave it running for the dogs.
I ordered the house salad and loaded fries. The fries arrived shortly before the rest of our lunch. They were a little short on cheese, but that didn’t matter, since we didn’t finish everything anyways. The house salad was pretty big, not your average side salad. It came with cherry tomatoes, thick cucumbers, what seemed like home made croutons… you get the point, I loved the salad. My husband got the Night Rider burger, without the fried egg. He raved about it being perfectly cooked, on ciabatta bread, with a perfect amount of pimento cheese. He raved about it so much, that I couldn’t resist taking a bite too. As his side, he got the broccoli cheese soup. Another slam dunk, perfected item. Don’t pass this place up!

Visited on Saturday around 10:45 am. They open at 7 am and were out of a lot of the breakfast items– no fruit, no hashbrown casserole and so on so get here early if that’s what you want. We were actually given lunch menus when we arrived but it wasn’t even 11 yet so that should have been a sign esp. when the server went to ask to see if we could still order breakfast.
We were seated in the back in a booth– it was odd that we were placed there as there was no one in the main dining area– odd.
Our server was friendly yet a bit scattered & confused as to what was and what wasn’t available.
I liked my blueberry pancakes served w/​sugar free syrup and lemon wedges per my request. They were thick and loaded w/​blueberries. The powdered sugar was a nice touch. If I were to go back, I would try one of there other pancake options. Now, don’t get it twisted– they aren’t IHOP pancakes which I’ve yet to find any place that can top those delicious cakes… sigh…
My boyfriend said the biscuits were good but felt that the gravy was a generic country gravy as it didn’t taste homemade. He stated he would pass on ordering their omelet again but added that the sausage was good.
Overall, he has dined there before for lunch and said that it is good but that breakfast disappointed him.
Breakfast totaled $ 15.00 before tax so cost wise– it was reasonable for two ppl.
Going to Muddy Pigs the next time we are in Princeton and wanting breakfast.

Black Patch serves a highly useful function of having a restaurant on Princeton’s Court Square. The menu is diverse, and I am particularly fond of the Shrimp and Grits for breakfast in the morning. Likewise, it is very convenient to have a place to be able to go to get a nice meal at night with a glass of wine on the weekends. The cheesecake is good enough to ensure that you will never find salvation again should it touch your lips.
I would like to see some of the items on the menu rotate out. I think bringing in some new feature dishes would help this place grow even more.

Not going to completely rate at this time with just one visit and one entrée. Grille is very clean with ample staff and great atmosphere. Will return for a weekend dinner and continue with a review after my wife and I have returned.
