PeeWee's Place — Restaurant in Crescent Springs

While in northern Kentucky, my wife and I stopped at Pee Wee’s Place to have dinner. Pee Wee’s offers a relaxed, family-friendly bar & restaurant. They have sand volleyball pits and a large outdoor deck.

We started with the Twice Baked Skins. This dish has potato skins filled with mashed potatoes, bacon, cheddar, and sour cream. The skins were crispy, and the creamy mash needed additional seasoning. The cheddar cheese melted well, and the bacon bits were crunchy and added much-needed salt. On the side was a generous amount of sour cream to dip the skins into.

I had the Bacon cheeseburger, to which I added an egg. The burger came with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and mayo on the side with fries, and I also added molly mac (Mac and cheese named after the owner’s daughter). The fries were undercooked, causing them to be chewy, and they lacked seasoning. The Mac and Cheese noodles were cooked well, but the dish was under-seasoned and dry. The cheese flavor only came through with the melted sliced cheese on top. The bun and veggies were fresh, and the pickles were cut thick. The burger was cooked well with good seasoning. The cheese melted well on the burger. The egg was fried over hard; the creaminess of the yolk would have added texture to the bite. The bacon was crispy and salty with a good chew.

My wife tried the Philly Cheesesteak with Molly mac. Her steak was cooked well, but it was under-seasoned. The bun was fresh, the provolone cheese melted nicely, and the veggies had a slight crunch. It was a decent bite, but I needed that salt to improve the dish. It was the same issue with the Molly Mac as before.

Pee Wee’s has an extensive menu. They offer breakfast until 2 pm. There was a large assortment of starters, sandwiches, salads, burgers, pasta, and dinners. The staff was genuinely friendly. They also have a full far and beer on draft. The Fat Man says that Pee Wee’s Place is NOT Fat Man Approved...

What can I say that people dont already know about this wonderful place. We started the day with an appointment in Kentucky and we always look for a off the beaten path place to eat for our anniversary. The wife googled places to eat and we ended up here. We walked in and it looked old and rustic, but we love that over any chain restaurant. Its how you know the food is going to be amazing. After the wonderful service from our server she mentioned to a gentlemen walking by that it was our first time at PeeWee's. It was the owner of the place PeeWee, now for any of you who dont know this man you need to meet him when you come. 1 minute into the conversation and you could tell he loves all of his customers and he treats everyone of us like family. No matter if its your first time or your 100th time. Ill tell you this no matter when our next appointment is in Kentucky we will never go back to Ohio without stopping in to grab a plate of great food and a laugh with PeeWee.

Thanks for adding something special to our...

Was there about 2 weekends ago, first time, and last. There's no signage or anyone to tell you to pick your own seat so we stood at the door like idiots for 5 minutes before just deciding to seat ourselves. They were accommodating with my pickiness, which was great, and the waitress was very friendly. There was a large party (at least 15 people) that was already there and that took up most of our waitresses time, which we understood and wasn't a huge deal. However, when I received my burger with a hair in it, I knew I had to bring it up to the waitress! She immediately apologized and brought me a fresh burger that tasted/looked better than the original one anyways!! The way she handled it kept this review from being 0 stars! She was a doll! To the kitchen staff, put your hair up/use a sticky/ use a hair net because it's obvious that this was not the first time they've had a hair complaint just by the disgusted look the...
