Jewell’s On Main

I was in town on business and thought I would check this place out. The food was amazing, I got the chicken sandwich. Tomorrow I will be back and try out the chicken tenders which looked fantastic when the passed me at my table. Great friendly staff, highly recommended if you are in the area.

Fun place but a little noisy. You get a table # and then get in line to place your order which is brought to your table. Our table ordered fried pickles and fried tomatoes for appetizers. My wife had the orange bourbon salmon which she sent back to be cooked more. I had the bluegrass chicken which was good. Others had crab stuffed mushrooms which they said were good. Very wide selection and a good place in a small town. The building is circa 1843.

I love this place… great food, great service and great atmosphere. I have tried several dishes including the fried green tomatoes. which are great. The Greek salad is really tasty and a nice sized portion. I always stop in when I’m in the area for work.

In the area for work and found on Unilocal.Good choice. On the river but too foggy to see water.

Food is exceptional and the staff is friendly. Large portions of food. You will not leave hungry.

Used to LOVE this place. The food was great quality, cooked fresh with style and care. The last couple of trips though were a disappointment. The shrimp and grits that were so amazing in the past, now seems to be served from a steam table, soupy and not really developed to order. The fried green tomatoes, also a favorite in the past, were deep fried frankly, hard to chew. I’d have a hard time thinking I could hurt my teeth on a fried tomato, but these were really that crunchy. The mashed potatoes on our lunch special were powdered and the gravy tasted like it came from a can. It’s a shame when a place loses it’s vitality and starts to cut corners, but it seems like that is what happened here. The staff was great and the place is very nice. We’re just wondering what happened to the «chef». A little more care in the kitchen and this could once again become the special destination that it used to be. We hope they can turn it around.

I’ve made the beautiful drive from Boone County to come to this restaurant a couple of times now. Everything I have have had so far is excellent and really like the location and setting.

Clean, fast service, friendly staff. Great food at unbeatable prices! I highly recommend the beef tip medallions!

Great food and it’s not over priced!

This place is great. It is about a half hour from home down the Ohio River. We love the drive and the reward at the end of it. Not a budget buster at all, but just really good food. The way you order is kind of unique. There are a line of benches along one wall. When busy, they are full of people in line sitting and reading menus. They move down the benches until it is time to order. You are assigned a table and the food is brought out. I have never had to wait more than 30 mins and usually less.
Nice family atmosphere, always good food. Shrimp and Grits with a little wine and I am good!

Great place with reasonable prices for a nicer dinner. Husband loves shrimp and grits; I like the beef medallions.

My husband and I ate here on the way into Louisville for the derby. Really quaint atmosphere, neat building, wonderful food, excellent prices, and friendly staff. Per Unilocal recommendations my husband had the meatloaf and he loved it. I had the Kentucky hot brown and it was delicious! Well worth the trip off the beaten path.

This place is AMAZING! We drove 45 min to eat here and would do it again! Hubs had glazed meatloaf with 3 cheese grits — best I’ve had ever! I had the brown and I have no words… it was awesome. Super friendly folks and a casual atmosphere too. Can’t wait to come back.

Found this place cruising through on a business trip. I had the shrimp and grits which was excellent BTW. The deal is you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Drinks are self serve.

This is a diamond in the ruff. You will leave satisfied every time. The staff is the best!

My husband and I are driving to look at leaves and stopped at a restaurant in Warsaw Ky called Jewell’s on Main. Huge portions and delicious food. You must place order at counter and drinks are self service, but the food is fine dining. It is now 12:30 and the place is full. This place is a must to try!

Very good food. Shrimp and grits was very good, as was the steak. Little different walking up to order /​get drink, but from there on, we had good service.

$ 11 orange bourbon salmon with asparagus and spinach. A great meal and value. This place had a great menu and good service. You won’t be disappointed.

We found this place with the help of Unilocal,after getting a teeny bit off-​course during a road trip. Good thing for the wrong turn, otherwise we never would have experienced the magic of Jewell’s.
We started with a bowl of Italian chicken noodle soup. The bowl was large and the soup obviously homemade, with large chunks of chicken in a rich, tasty broth. Hubby ordered buttermilk chicken tenders and fries. Not an exciting choice, I’ll admit, but the execution was spectacular. He got four breaded chicken tenders which appeared to amount to two whole chicken breasts. You could tell by the taste of the fries that the fries had been in whole potato form not too long before they hit the deep fryer.
I ordered the shrimp and grits as my entrée. As hard as I try to describe the deliciousness of this dish, it’s not enough to capture it. A generous amount of shrimp in a smoky, velvety, bacon-​y tomato-​based sauce atop of buttery grits. I ate WAY past the point of being full simply because it tasted so damned good. They has a nice selection of local wines, and the service was great.
If you’re traveling through the area, make a point of stopping at this place. You won’t regret it.

When great chefs come up in topic, Jewell’s on Main’s Chef is always in the mix. The only problem I had was choosing which meal. So many suggested their favorites. It felt like a good burger day, so that’s what I did. So glad I did, it was perfectly delicious.
My boyfriend had meatloaf. What I loved about that was, I got to taste it. lol! It looked like a steak and very beautiful with the green asparagus on the plate. Nice presentation.
It was all very reasonable which puts it back on my list to return and try the pork tenderloins and all the other favorites.
