The Country Inn

Location: "Home Cooked Meals, The Country Inn Restaurant" on Monmoth in Newport KY

When: Let's say May of 07, why not?

Food Grade: I'd give this place a B, however I'd be willing to bet that had we walked in with a hang over looking for a greasy breakfast, this place would have been an A and then some.

Questionable Level: 6 of 10. It was pretty sketchy, don't get me wrong. But I felt safe, even loved, once inside (almost like home).

Smokeyness: 10 of 10. The lady sitting behind Steve smoked a good 4 or 5 during our meal. I'd say the smoking ban in Newport KY is a good 25-30 years away.

Quote: This wasn't a quote in the classic sense, in that no words were actually spoken, but the grandma-looking cook did come out of the kitchen to show us her HUGE pineapple upside down cake just out of the oven. I guess some things just don't require words.





Value: Very good. But never fear, if you're short on cash there are at least 4 pawn shops within a square block of the place.
