M&M Rooftop Garden — Restaurant in Corbin

(11-14-24 update: added a photo of the wings mentioned below, the story of how the name came to be, and another pic of our favorite special)

Original review: After I first visited M&M Rooftop Garden on a lunch break in March 2024, it quickly became one of my favorite spots to eat.

I have a dairy allergy and it can be daunting and even frustrating to try new places. That was not the case at M&M. I called ahead to ask about menu options and they took the time to check ingredients, go through their menu, and share potential adaptations for things that weren’t already dairy-free. It felt like planning a meal with a trusted friend instead of a stranger on the phone.

Everything is made in-house, including the bread and desserts. My favorite weekly specials are the Rooftop Ramen and the Wok-n-Roll Bowl. It’s rare to find high-quality ramen in southeastern Kentucky but M&M has it mastered. For regular menu items, I love the King Creole Po’Boy or the wings with King Creole dry rub.

It is locally owned and operated and the owners are thoughtful, kind, and accepting of all. There is street parking in front and a parking lot in the back.

For those who wonder why it isn’t actually a rooftop restaurant, check out their story posted inside for the name’s origin. :) There is a small outside patio area but it belongs to the Elks Lodge next door. M&M has a back entry on the patio but doesn’t control the space. Check their Facebook page for the weekly special and any changes to their normal operating hours. They do close during some of the downtown festivals...

Great food tried 60% of the menu today in one sitting even brought some back home. Wings where finger licking good!!, The King Shripm was delicious, Classic burger was flavorful, the building was clean, looked good, and not hot or cold. Staff was friendly and kind. Gotta love the onion rings side they were crunchy but not super hard. Thier in house sauce was excellent we used it and never use the ketchup. Thier take on the wing sauce was superb it was flavorful not too hot and was not overtaken by hot sauce!!. Fries were excellent as well crunchy but not hard as in its not a rock. Last their take on a pineapple upside down cake was great and would love to see a Reese's twist on a cake. Homeade with actual Reese's as a topping. Love to see curly fries. The home made buns are to die for!!. Have to thank my friend and staff. Brian!! (My friend) Monty!! (Owner) Melonie!! (Owners wife) Briar!! (Artist) (Daughter) Big thanks to everyone. Great establishment and employees. Keep up...

My children and I were passing through and were ready to stop for dinner. One of my children has Celiac. I called and asked if they had gluten-free food. The woman on the phone was helpful and said she thought she had enough offerings, so we stopped in. We ended up getting a few types of wings, a salad, and a burger for a non- GF child. The bun for the burger is made from scratch. Many of the rubs and sauces are house made too. The counter staff was so helpful, hand sliced cheese to accommodate the gluten allergy because of the starch on the pre-shred for the standard salad. Highly recommend the blaze spice rub and the house made balsamic. Everything was hot, well seasoned, and the simply presented. The counter staff looked at labels and were so kind and accommodating. Support this local gem of a restaurant. The tree with the cast iron pans as fruit is a charming bit of decoration, Americana at its finest. Don't miss this...
