The igloos create a magical ambiance, making it perfect for a special night out. The food was excellent—loved the Ruben egg rolls, which were incredibly tasty, and the Harrison Chicken sandwich was spot-on. Highly recommend for a unique dining experience!

Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.
