Lawrenceburger — Restaurant in Lawrenceburg Township

First off I'm not from the area, just passing through Lawrenceburg, and thought the local place would be a good try. Good menu for a seemingly "fast" meal, but watch the PRICES as they do not match what you'll be charged! The FOOD 1hr 4 min after we received beverages: My co-worker and I ordered the Lawrenceburg (big burger)- w/ horseradish (barely a trace), lettuce, tomato, onion, and bacon (missing), and the Double Lawrenceburg Jr- add fried egg (burned and greasy HOW?!?!). All patties were burned to some extent and very overcooked, the portions that were not burned had good flavor and were DRY. The one patty on the Junior was the tire shops hockey puck cousin. No Joke! The Wedge salad comes with bleu cheese, of which I am not a fan, so I requested from our waitress Ranch instead. She did not correct me saying that there's no substitute. I would have been okay with the answer, but removed the request if that was the case. Salad arrived on a 10 inch dinner plate equivalent and it was HUGE! 1/3 HEAD of lettuce swimming.... drowning in Bleu cheese with some nice bacon and good tasting tomatoes. I didn't touch it other than a bite of bacon and tomato. Onion rings were fine my co-worker said, but the sweet potato waffles were half soaked in grease. The ATMOSPHERE - Smokey from the grill, neat eclectic small space, very sticky floor and back door from grease running to the cooler next door for the kitchen...gross. The place has potential but the owners and employees clearly need a family sit down and take action for the quality, portions, cleanliness, and speed at which your order arrives. I will NOT RETURN and can NOT RECOMMEND this establishment. Thanks for your patience and please choose wisely. ~$52 for the above with 2 beers which are...

We were driving along Rt. 50 in Lawrenceburg and saw the sign for Whisky's Restaurant. We stopped in, thinking Whisky's and The Lawrenceburger had a shared entrance. Nope! Whisky's entrance was around the side of the building, off the parking lot. But, we COULDN'T leave the Lawrenceburger once we got a whiff of those grilled burgers.

The featured burger is 1/2 pound; a little more than we wanted for lunch. So, we went with the 1/4 pound platter: burger, fries and cole slaw. So glad we made this selection. The burger was the perfect size and we had ours topped with lettuce, tomato, pickle and mayo. Talk about a perfect burger!!! This was absolutely delicious and oh so juicy. I think I used 6 napkins. The cole slaw was just as good. Not too sweet and not too tangy. Just perfect. This also came with a large helping of some of the best fries I've had in a long time. They were long and thinly cut with what appeared to be a light coating, and they were fried to perfection. Crispy on the outside and light/tender on the inside. And hot, too. No cold fries in this place.

We started talking with another couple at the table next to ours. They were just passing through town, heading back home to Wisconsin, after spending time in Gatlinburg and stopped by on a whim. They decided to try a hometown place versus a fast food burger stop. They were just finishing their meal as we ordered ours. They had the same positive comments about their meal that we had as we took our first bites.

This is definitely on our list of places to visit again when we return to southern Indiana. (We were told by the server that the Sloppy Joe is a favorite. We may have to try that on the next visit, although it would be very difficult to pass up the...

We decided to stop here for lunch on the way home. This was the first and last time we will eat here. First impressions mean a lot. The place is a bit grimy. You don't really want to touch anything.

Just when we were about to get up and go, they finally brought our food. It had been over an hour and it was not busy. They brought some food 15 minutes earlier, however it was not our order. The server was giving an attitude like it was our fault. Here is the greatest part. We were digging in the food trying to figure out if it was ours. We touched about everything and ate a few small things. Instead of taking it back and throwing it away, the server took it to another table and served it to them. GROSS!!

We decided to leave money for our drinks and go when they FINALLY brought our food. My burger was ok. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes. My wife had a turkey burger that was bland and tough. The buns however was FROZEN on the bottom. We removed them and finished because we didn't want to wait...
