About Us

Had a chaotic party of twenty and staff did amazing, constantly checked in on us, food came out fast and was delicious, very caring and sweet staff. amazing experience - 12/22/2024 

I only put a two star on the atmosphere, because it's Christmas time and the music playing was hard rock and it wasn't digestible. So, I went to Desha's in Maysville with my daughter and a friend of mine. We go all the time, several times a year. I always get my favorite go-to-- a side salad and the Combo appetizer. This trip I wanted to try something different. I got the Irish Dip sandwich. Oh my goodness!! It is basically a Reuben. It is corned beef and Swiss, with sauerkraut on a rye hoagie and instead of thousand Island dressing, it came with au jus and a creamy horseradish sauce. Well, it is a huge sandwich and I couldn't eat it all, so I took it to go. Here I am two whole days later, eating the other half of my Irish Dip sandwich and let me tell you, it is just as good, re-heated as it was the day I got it. Creamy horseradish and au jus, man oh man, Delicious!! If you like Reubens, I highly recommend the Irish Dip at Deshas!! I only wished they were playing light Christmas music, because the restaurant was decorated very pretty for Christmas. The service was very well done, I think our waitress was somewhat new at the job, but she did fine and it was a great experience, except for the song Black Betty blasting and getting stuck in my head. - 12/16/2024 

Nice service, good food - 11/28/2024 

Food was excellent, best we have had in the area. Excellent horseradish sauce and onion soup. Curtis was the best waiter you could ask for!! - 11/24/2024 

Great place! I've been in the business and this place operates like a well oiled machine. The staff has always been pleasant, kitchen on the ball, food is very good. On Veterans Day this year my wife and I stopped in to eat. We are both veterans. They fed both of us, from a special menu that was awesome by the way, and the meals were there large size meals! Thank you so very much! If you haven't eaten here yet do yourself a favor and go! God bless all of you! - 11/21/2024 

I've been here a few times, and they've never let me down. I especially like their potato skins, French onion soup, and cornbread. Parking: I feel they could use some HANDICAPPED ♿️ Parking in front. I need the wider parking spaces to get in and out of my car. Their entry doors could use a handicapped entry button as well. Wheelchair accessibility: I walk with a cane and it was difficult getting the door open and to STAY open as I navigate through. I could not imagine doing it with a wheelchair. - 11/02/2024 

Went here for a birthday 🎈 lunch with my daughter and son in law. The salad and fish slider was fresh with generous portions. The BLT has lots of bacon. One of us got the Irish dip Reuben sandwich and it was amazing!.Fried green tomatoes very traditional and full of flavor! The atmosphere is Kentucky horse themed with whiskey barrels and glass/brick/wooden polished bar. There is a huge glass etching of the Maysville bridge and Ohio River! The manager greeted us afterwards and Caitlin was our server refilling drinks and checking on us. Pleasant and friendly atmosphere with a quiet ambiance while fine dining. Thank you we will be back! Parking: Large lot with 40 spots Kid-friendliness: Kids portion and share 2 available - 10/20/2024 

Wow, what a gem!!! Stuffed peppers were very good. Best pork chop I may have ever eaten. Grilled perfectly, moist, thick and absolutely delicious. Carrot cake! This place in awesome. - 10/19/2024 

Visited from out of town. Great food and service, thank you! - 10/03/2024 

We came at the right time, it got busy with an hour wait! The service was great, along with the food. Highly recommend if in the area. - 10/01/2024 

Our waitress/bartender Christa was phenomenal. She went above and beyond the call of duty for my birthday lunch out with my friend. Her warm, kind and friendly energy made our visit into deSha's that much more enjoyable. Also, Chef Mary prepared our meal personally and as always, it was perfection. deSha's is lucky to have had her behind the scenes there for the duration of their time in Maysville. - 9/28/2024 

Great food, great atmosphere and phenomenal bourbon selection! - 9/23/2024 

Lunch was good, service good 😊 - 9/23/2024 

best prime rib sandwich ever - 9/23/2024 

Combo Appetizer is Always Great - 9/16/2024 

Family fine dining at its best or relax at the bar and watch tv while you wait. Great food and good service every time. - 9/04/2024 

Absolutely delicious food. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend! - 9/02/2024 

Brenda was our server. She is such a delightful, friendly, professional person. We had the best fries ever! The fish and chips dinner was better than EPCOT in Disney World. Brenda checked in with us frequently She was the perfect server. De Sha's is lucky to have her on staff! 😊 Thank you all.(and by the way; we've traveled to 21 countries, so complimenting your food is a truly great compliment!!!) - 8/30/2024 

It's not quite chain food but it's also not fresh and local, what they do is well done but nothing outstanding. The bar is a fun spot and the bartenders are great to talk to and make drink suggestions. The bathrooms are always clean. I go once every couple of weeks and enjoy it. - 8/30/2024 

Driving thru Maysville KY on our way home and saw deShas as a local restaurant and stopped for lunch. Friendly staff and food was served fairly quickly. - 8/30/2024 

Original DeSha's ! Good food, especially compared to the rest of the area. - 8/30/2024 

The chicken tenders were amazing. - 8/30/2024 

Great cheese sticks - 8/30/2024 

The food was great but the service was even better!! It's a KEEPER! I will be stopping by every time I travel through the area. - 8/12/2024 

Food was average. Salads now served on appetizer plates so very difficult to mix dressing in & it falls off the plate & all over the table-need to return to salad bowls. U can no longer substitute a side salad with an upcharge so I received both a salad & Cole slaw. prime rib sandwich was very dry & full of big chunks of fat. Waitress almost non-existent & they were not very busy. The hostess was the most pleasant person there - 7/30/2024 

There were nine of us and the awesome waitress took great care of us , the food was delicious. And we didn't feel rushed at all which was great . Thanks !! - 7/30/2024 

Wanted to try the steak hoagie and it was one of the best ones around 😋 - 7/30/2024 

Good food, friendly staff, always good!! Try the stuffed mushrooms!!! - 7/30/2024 

Great place for a solid meal, fair priced entree's and eagle rare. - 7/30/2024 

Our favorite place to stop in Maysville. - 7/30/2024 

This place was great! We got there right around 5 and it was already busy. We got seated right away and our service was very nice. I ordered the fried green tomatoes which were amazing, and fish and chips a small order (two pieces of fish) with fries and it's supposed to come with coleslaw but they did substitute another side for me. My mom ordered the three sides with cornbread, the loaded baked potato was really good, the coleslaw was also good. We were both eh about the cornbread. All in all we enjoyed it very much. - 7/10/2024 

Very good food and service. Music pretty loud which I do not appreciate, hence, the 4 on atmosphere. Had their delicious special and brought half home. - 6/30/2024 

My favorite place to eat in town. Everything is made from scratch and very reasonably priced... Just love it! - 6/30/2024 

Always a great experience. Food was excellent and the staff is helpful and friendly. - 6/30/2024 

More elegant food at a good price! - 6/30/2024 

I've eaten there more than a couple of times & every time has been a very good experience. Service was quick to seat, take orders, explain any menu item & quick to refill. - 5/30/2024 

DeSha’s is a local staple. Good food, and great people. We ordered their fish and chips which is as good as anything I’ve ever had on the East coast and half the price. - 5/30/2024 

Great food and service! Very reasonable price!! - 5/30/2024 

Always a favorite when visiting back home! - 5/30/2024 

My wife and I were driving to Indiana to watch Monday's eclipse, and we decided to stop for an early dinner. We decided to stop at deSha's Restaurant on US 68 in Maysville, Kentucky. We had looked at the menus of upcoming restaurants, and that one caught my eye. A very welcoming hostess showed us to our table. It is a very warm, comfortable dining room, with brick walls, large exposed beams above your head, and a huge fireplace. Being in Kentucky, my wife ordered a shot of Woodfore Reserve Rye, and I ordered Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. My wife, who is a bit of a bourbon and whisky connoisseur said the Rye was so smooth, and she definately picked up the woody fruity caramel-y notes. As for the ale, it had a real caramel flavor and was excellent, even at 8.2% ABV. For starters we had Coconut Chicken. We expected wlamm pieces, but we're served 4 entre-sized pieces. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the coconut breading was very delicate. For dinner we both had the pan-seared salmon, served with rice. We both selected sautéed whole mushrooms as a side. The salmon was luscious. A nice "crust" on the outside hid tender salmon. Mushrooms were a bit on the salty side, but the juice left after finishing them helped the rice. All in all it was a very nice dinner. We will be coming through here again, as we have good friends in eastern Indiana, so we will be back. Definately a place to try. - 4/30/2024 

Not a bad place to eat. The food was pretty good. The bartender was friendly and had a good sense of humor. I would compare deSha’s to a Friday’s-decent food with well-trained staff. The lighting was a little dim giving the bar area a bit of a claustrophobic vibe. - 4/30/2024 

This restaurant is a favorite each time I visit Maysville. The chicken salad was delicious and the date bread that accompanied it was so soft and flavorful. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful. Another super lunch! Thank you! - 4/30/2024 

Spectacular, very nice place and very sweet people - 4/30/2024

I have not been to this establishment since 1995. Food was delicious service, which was just amazing. Surprisingly excellent all around, thank you for the nostalgic of home. - 3/30/2024 

Kentucky Hot Brown hit the spot. - 3/30/2024 

Great food,and great services. - 3/30/2024 

So good ! So freaking good !! I don't get to Maysville as often as I used to , but when I do ,deSha's is always on the where to eat list (budget permitting). For me, it can be a little pricey, but I haven't eaten anything that wasn't worth every penny! This visit I started with the stuffed mushrooms, yummy yummy, main course was spring rolls with andoulli sausage (crunchy outside ,stuffed with real goody,inside)off of the seasonal menu and a small cup portion of French onion soup(French fries who?) and washed it all down with a glass of water,extra lemon! My wallet lost some weight, but I left fat and happy! It's just dang good food - 2/29/2024 

Great food with a local feel. Staff was courteous and friendly. Wait time was very minimal and overshadowed by the food and experience of the restaurant as a whole. All in all it still lives up to the hype as a NKY go to. - 2/29/2024 

Customer service was extraordinary. My fiancé and I had an excellent experience for our first time visiting and it won’t be our last. Our waitress Kaitlyn was phenomenal. Thank you. - 2/29/2024

Had chef salad and steak. All was fantastic. Service was excellent. Vegetarian options: Has basically the same as anywhere else... Soup, salad, and a couple appetizers. Could possibly have more, this is only what I noticed. Parking: Average Kid-friendliness: It is a family restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Yes - 1/30/2024 

Parking: Depends on how busy they are. When we took our guests from out of town we were about the only people there. Most of the time when driving by the parking lot is almost full. - 1/30/2024 

Classic steak house with great bourbon choices and a little less "Chain" than most - 1/30/2024 

Excellent food and drink. Very friendly waitstaff. Would strongly recommend - 1/30/2024 

Old school vibe. Definitely caters to an older clientele. The food and service were good enough. Happy to say that we tried it. - 1/27/2024

A great place to dine. Excellent customer service. - 10/24/2023 

Beyond excellent We visit Maysville occasionally. We always stop at DeSha’s. Today we ordered Hot Browns. They were served hot on a hot plate. The coffee was excellent. The service was beyond excellent. We had a waitress with an unusual nickname, Sister. I have not had better service than she provided in years. If you go, ask for her. - 9/08/2023

Amazing soup 🤣 My boyfriend and I stopped here while in town for the old pogue distillery tour. It had the best French onion soup I ever had and the steak was awesome. Make sure if you don’t like mushrooms you ask for no mushrooms because they have it on everything, even if it doesn’t say 😅 - 7/14/2023

What a pleasant surprise! We came on a whim and I must say I enjoyed my meal and time here. Hannah our waitress was so sweet. She always had a smile and answered all questions with no issues. However, if you ever come please ask for her and you won't have a bad experience. Out food was really good. Should you ever want food that is simplified but tasty then here is a must. I know it's out of the way but if you are ever in town please stop in. Enjoy!! - 3/29/2023 

Was in town on business and was recommended by hotel. Great food and great service. I would recommend this establishment. - 2/21/2023

Would Return! Family lunch at Desha's did not disappoint. Fried cheese starter was so good but didn't leave much room for the main course. All American burger was great. Really enjoyed the baked potato and fried fish. Broccoli was pretty flavorless but there wasn't much time for it anyway. Server was nice. - 4/11/2022

Wonderful lunch The wife and I stopped on our way to Mt. Olivet and she had the club sandwich and I had the fish slider/chili combo. This may have been the best chili I have ever had. Compliments to the chef. The whole place was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Would like to get back as soon as possible - 12/12/2021

This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is marvelous. Location easy. Service perfect. Desserts are to die for. We stop here on a regular visit between Charleston WV and Cincinnati OH. I highly recommend this restaurant - 10/29/2021 

We had the best food and the best time !! Loved our waitress Danielle !! I recommend you go hungry. Clean atmosphere. - 10/20/2021 

Always a favorite when we come to Maysville! Food is always excellent. Service was prompt and friendly. Worst part is trying to narrow down the selection to one entree. - 9/16/2021 

Supper time! What a nice place! And for the first time in practically forever the hostess didn't put the Bikers in the furthest corner of the restaurant. They actually let us sit among other people. The food was excellent and our Waitress (Thessa, I believe was her name) was very attentive. So I highly recommend this place to my two wheeled brothers. - 9/02/2021

Love the quaint bar and great food! We are not from the area but go out of our way to visit as often as we are in town. - 7/16/2021 

It has been quite a long time since we dined at Desha's. While I miss the atmosphere of the location past, it was still a very pleasurable experience. The food was as good as I remembered. The menu has a variety of Americana options sure to please everyone's cravings; appetizers - dessert. The adult beverage selection offers a variety of wines and beers; not extensive but satisfactory. As a wine drinker I love to see a few more mid-level and above selections added. It is definitely a pleasant dinner option. - 4/26/2021 

Everything that I’ve tried there has been delicious. My favorites are the Kentucky Hot Brown a d the Stuffed Mushrooms. - 4/19/2021 

I don't get the poor reviews. My food was fresh and delish. Service was great, but not overbearing. I also don't get the comments about the decor, unless there is a different location then where I visited. I am from out of town and travel here for work several times a year and I will comeback. If you don't like the prices go to McDonald's they are reasonable. - 4/15/2021 

Great food & service!! I love going to Deshas that atmosphere is so relaxing I highly recommend this restaurant!! - 3/21/2021 

Delicious food Awesome staff and service!! - 2/27/2021 

Excellent food. High quality ingredients, for example, PLUMP chicken tenders! Superb iced tea. Plentiful portions. Service was 'spot-on,' courteous, and friendly. Wonderful, cozy atmosphere. - 2/20/2021 

Took my dad there for lunch. Everything was good. They had got my order wrong, but quickly fixed it. The service was great and everything was clean. The staff were all wearing masks properly and social distancing was being observed. - 1/03/2021 

always enjoy the food, service and atmosphere at DaSha's! - 11/08/2020

Food was good - 10/27/2020 

The servers were very quick and attentive, the food came out almost too quickly but we didn't get appetizers so that is probably why. The first waters that were brought out tasted funny and the server replaced them with water from a different location and then they were fine. She did it very graciously and did not act like it was an inconvenience at all. We were not rushed from the table when we were finished paying. Very nice experience overall. - 10/26/2020 

A few weeks ago I wrote that the salmon was way to salty on two separate occasions. I had it on this visit and it was perfect. I had the vegetable as my side and the broccoli was cooked perfectly. Our service was great. Been there three times in four weeks, deSha's is doing something right. - 10/26/2020 

Great atmosphere with live music. Prime rib pretzel sandwich was amazing. - 10/25/2020 

They really took care of us and some of our dietary restrictions. Only misstep was the smoked gouda with chicken rotini as the vegetables were undercooked. Excellent atmosphere. - 10/23/2020 

The bourbon selection was fantastic and happy hour menu was great - 10/22/2020 

Spinach salad with salmon was great. Roast beef sandwich was great. Loved the music. Server was overloaded but super nice. - 10/19/2020 

My friend and I chose to eat at Desha's for outdoor eating even though the weather was a bit nippy. There was outdoor heating which was delightful. Both our meals were delicious and beautifully presented; the server was very attentive, polite and timely. Desha's never disappoints! - 10/18/2020 

I have dined at deSha's a number of times over the last months. The food and service are always very good. With the current COVID situation, I feel very confident dining at deSha's. - 10/16/2020 

Enjoyable experience. Plan on returning with family and friends. - 10/15/2020

Great place to eat, have few drinks. - 10/09/2020 

YAY FOR DESHA'S! I have dined at Desha's (pronounced de-shays, not de-shas) several times this past summer. Most of the time, I ordered the Catfish, which I definitely recommend! The pre-meal bread, which to me is exactly like the bread at Outback, is great as well! The service has always been very friendly and efficient! Desha's started back in 1981 in Maysville and I definitely see why it is still going strong! - 10/07/2020

Husband ‘s Birthday Everything was great, Ash was our waitress and she was great! Will eat there again! - 10/05/2020 

We had a family date night and really enjoyed ourselves. The waitress was friendly and immediately took care of it when an item we ordered came out wrong. We got to enjoy some specials from restaurant week during our meal. The atmosphere including the live music was really enjoyable. - 10/04/2020 

Smoked Pork Chop was very outstanding 😋 - 10/02/2020 

Our waiter Jason is always amazing. - 10/02/2020 

DeSha's seems to be doing a good job during the pandemic with a heated outside area for dining. Their service has been great We've been patrons of DeSha's for many years and really appreciate the outdoor dining accommodations. - 10/01/2020 

Birthday celebration and we wanted to support Restaurant Week in Cincinnati - 10/01/2020 

Great food, and good service, we will come back soon. - 10/01/2020 

We had an excellent meal. Will return at our next chance. - 9/30/2020 

Good and service were very good, as always. One of our favorite go to spots. - 9/28/2020 

Very good. We will return. - 9/25/2020 

Another visit to DeSha's and the food was prepared just as expected. The service was appropriate for these COVID times and there was no wait since we had a reservation. Our waiter, Matt was attentive and polite. I had the Fried Buttermilk Chicken which is one of my favorite meals here with green beans and smashed potatoes. The total bill for three was about $20 a person plus drinks. There was plenty of outdoor seating and live music too. I'll be back! - 9/21/2020 

Server was a little slow. Not sure if she was new or just overwhelmed. She knew the menu so I am leaning towards just busy. Overall not bad - 9/21/2020 

Food and service were excellent. We ate on the deck by the pond and there was an internment discharge of water from a pipe by the pond. This discharge was emitted an unpleasant odor. Reported to the server, she checked on it and advised it was a sump pump discharge. I doubt that was it because of the odor. - 9/18/2020 

It was a beautiful day on DeSha’s pondside patio. We met another couple and we were all very pleased with the food , service & ambiance. My husband & I were there this past Sunday on the same patio for a delicious brunch. Great place to dine. - 9/18/2020 

I have been dining nat deSha's quite a bit lately. It is very convenient, lots of parking, great food and service. The outside areas are nice as well. - 9/18/2020 

Great everything. Thanks for not kicking us out too soon. I think we might have been the only ones there. - 9/16/2020 

We go there frequently and it is always excellent. We sit outside when possible to help minimize the noise level. - 9/12/2020 

A group of 5 ate on the patio. Very pleasant. Had a great time. - 9/12/2020 

Wonderful!!! - 9/07/2020 

Really enjoyed my Spinach salad as usual. It was delicious and I always look forward to ordering it. My server was Maria and she was very friendly and efficient Looking forward to another nice lunch or dinner here! - 9/01/2020 

Love it here! I’m a regular! - 9/01/2020 

We like the added outdoor seating a lot! - 8/31/2020 

Great food. - 8/31/2020 

Food was delicious and service was great. Highly recommend this restaurant. - 8/29/2020 

I eat here often as I love meeting friends or bringing visitors for a delicious meal with outdoor dining options. Always great service that follows all cdc protocols so we feel safe. - 8/25/2020 

Expanded outdoor dining allowed for a lovely lunch. Menu had plenty of options still available. Service was great and mask worn. - 8/25/2020 

Lunch. Amazing 4 shrimp risotto Great server. - 8/25/2020 

We came for burger week and had a great meal. Two of us had the burger with a Caesar salad and the other two had the prime rib sandwich on a pretzel bun with fries. All of us enjoyed our meal as we sat inside by the pond. Good food with friends with a lovely backdrop. - 8/24/2020 

Lovely evening. Band was a bit noisy but overall was pleasant! - 8/24/2020 

DeSha's has a great location, good food and great service. - 8/24/2020 

Just fine. I’ll go again. - 8/24/2020 

Great visit tonight. The fried green tomatoes were delicious as was the burger and the catfish. We all enjoyed our meal. The service was attentive - 8/23/2020 

Loved sitting outside on the deck. Service was very good. Didn't have to wait very long for a table even thought they were very busy. Four of us had the Burger Week special. Pretty good, but not the best burger I have had. - 8/22/2020 

Good food. A little pricer. The atmosphere was really nice. - 8/18/2020 

Haven’t been here in a long time. Wife and I were looking for a nice place with outside dining to enjoy the weather, and of course, remain socially distanced from others. Did not expect to see the front side of the building also converted to outdoor dining! Food was outstanding, service was spot on, and the live music was an added bonus! We are already discussing our next visit! - 8/17/2020 

Awesome. Our server was great. - 8/16/2020 

Sitting outside on the deck was perfect! - 8/12/2020 

Veggie quiche was excellent - 8/12/2020 

The well prepared food is always good at deSha's, but now they are taking extra precautions to keep people safe, requiring masks to enter and when not seated, and having outdoor tables available. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were the best I've ever had. Such a lovely view from the dining room too! - 8/10/2020 

We sat outside on the front patio which was very nice. The food and drinks were both wonderful! The only complaint was that the band was really loud and we weren’t even sitting close to them. It was difficult to have a conversation with the music being so loud. Other than that we had a good experience. - 8/10/2020 

Had a casual, early dinner under the driveway porch on a nice summer afternoon. Was seated right away and drink orders quickly followed. Our meals (salad and entrees) were served promptly - at the right temps. Everyone was following hygiene rules (masks, etc). We enjoyed ourselves. - 8/08/2020 

Nice outdoor seating options during covid 19. - 8/07/2020 

food was excellent, Kathleen is always a pleasant server 🙂 - 8/03/2020 

With the current situation due to the virus, dining out just any where can be a little uncomfortable. However, our lunch on July 28th at DeSha's was perfect. Loved the area set up for outside dining as it was quiet and provided easy access to the parking lot. Food and service were spot on. One friend could not make it due to a death in her family that morning. We will plan a return visit to DeSha's in a couple weeks when things calm down for her. Thank you DeSha's for making our luncheon perfect. - 7/31/2020 

Great service! The menu items were plentiful and the restaurant was clean. - 7/28/2020 

Our server was fantastic! - 7/27/2020 

Great meal and service once again. Came for the goetta fries stayed for the band. Great atmosphere and social distancing compliant! - 7/26/2020 

Had indoor seating, with excellent distancing from nearest table. We were in the bar area. Excellent service. Everything was clean and tidy. - 7/24/2020 

The seafood special Wednesday night July 28th was outstanding....one of the best! Our waiter Nate was exceptional - 7/24/2020 

The entrees were excellent but the dessert (bread pudding), was not good - 7/19/2020 

Our lunch was delightful. Seated by the lake-front window we were entertained by the many ducks in pond. The server was very pleasant and available whenever needed anything. We will be back! - 7/18/2020 

The food was great. We had a view of the pond from inside. I would highly recommend De Sha"s - 7/15/2020 

Unfortunately there seem to be confusion between the servers As to who had our table. We waited over 15 minutes for someone to come and greet us and take our drink order. Unfortunately it was 88° that day and a cold glass of water with the been very tasty. We were seated outside. Other guests arrived after us had been seated and served drinks before anyone came to our table. I guess it was just confusion - 7/13/2020 

I have never had a bad meal here. Service is always great. The stuffed mushrooms are the best! - 7/13/2020 

The wait staff were great didn’t hurry us- we wanted to sit outside but looked like a storm was coming so sat inside spacing was good- food was awesome- drinks delicious 2 thumbs up - will stop in again!!! - 7/10/2020 

Good experience with the COVID Situation. Great cleanliness limited menu. - 7/08/2020 

very quit great service. watching the geese and ducks on the lake was a little extra! - 7/07/2020 

it is awesome food and great service too . - 7/07/2020 

Great as always - 7/04/2020 

DeSha's is doing a great job separating tables during this time. I had the smoked gouda chicken rotini which was delicious comfort food. My husband had the Maker's pulled pork and mac and cheese which he said was great. - 6/29/2020 

If you want a good, decent meal in nice atmosphere, deSha’s is the place. Everything is consistently good! - 6/29/2020 

It was wonderful. Appreciated the social distances. Will come back soon. - 6/28/2020 

Great food, our server, Stephanie did an awesome job! - 6/28/2020

It's been years since I had visited DeSha's in Lexington (which I always enjoyed), so when we stopped in Maysville, we had a good reason to visit the original. Since we weren't starving, we opted for a couple of appetizers ...and dessert. The crab stuffed mushrooms make a great taste combination; I would have preferred them a touch more browned and less cheesy, but the flavor was still excellent. We also tried the cheese stuffed banana peppers. Actually, they could more accurately be described as cheese stuffed wontons with a strip of banana pepper. It's a great combination of flavors, but we were a little disappointed that it wasn't actually a full pepper. But, the dessert made up for any shortcomings -- the turtle cheesecake is actually a perfectly creamy, delicious New York cheesecake that is then sprinkled with Heath Bar chips, chocolate and caramel syrups, and whipped cream. Luscious! Oh, and the iced tea is perfect -- one of my important restaurant checklist factors. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. - 6/21/2020 

Great experience! - 6/16/2020

Pleasant evening outdoors listening to music while eating dinner. Only drawback was that table was on the walkway from the parking lot and the space was not wide enough to allow 6 feet of distance between the table and people entering and exiting. - 6/15/2020

Decided to give this restaurant another try as my first experience was a little lackluster, and I must say the second time was a charm. I had the fried fish with slaw and fries, and my boyfriend had a mushroom burger with cheese and a bordelaise sauce.......it did not disappoint. Service was a little slow for the amount of people dining, but our server made up for it by checking in and keeping drinks filled. Will definitely return. - 6/03/2020 

It was a wonderful evening sitting outside . I really enjoyed my drink .. Manhattan and Salomon salad. My husband enjoyed his meal as well and our server was attentive and pleasant . - 6/01/2020 

My wife and I enjoyed a great casual dinner in the bar side of DeSha’s. They removed some tables and re-positioned the remaining tables to create social distancing. Servers wore masks and I saw several use hand sanitizer. We felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you DeSha’s for doing a great job during this crazy pandemic. - 5/25/2020

I've been a patron of Desha's for many years and always find their choice very good and consistent. If I ever have an issue the management has addressed it quickly and to my satisfaction. Dishes that I order regularly are the Desha burger, Buffalo Chicken Breast (medium), Hot Brown (small), French Onion Soup, and Coconut Chicken. - 5/09/2020 

The food is great and service was wonderful my son and I had a tailgate in the parking lot no inside setting Covid 19 we had a wonderful time - 5/07/2020

We were there for a birthday celebration and had made a reservation a week in advance. We requested a table which was somewhat secluded and we were happy with the booth we were given which looked out to the man made water feature. We were seated promptly even though the restaurant was crowded on a Saturday night at dinner time. The service was good and we each ordered a seafood entry and a cocktail. The drinks were served quickly along with a small corn bread. The entrees came about 15 minutes later. The entrees were above average but not what I consider top notch. The prices were reasonable but not what I consider a value as no salad was included with the entrees and the one side was nothing special. The bill for three entrees and three drinks came to just under $100 and with the tip, just under $120. - 3/09/2020

Loved the atmosphere. The tavern style décor with extensive woodwork gives it a warm, comfortable feeling while enjoying quality food and drinks. I highly recommend the Prime Rib dinner. The only negative is that the bar does not make any frozen drinks. - 3/02/2020

This was my first visit to deSha's, but it was exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted a cozy place to be able to talk to a friend and this place delivered. The service was unobtrusive and the atmosphere allowed us to talk without having to shout. Our food was delicious and brought a level of comfort to the evening. Looking forward to returning here. - 2/26/2020

Great food and great service! There were six people at our table and this was the first time at deSha’s for all of us. We were seated at a round table by the window with a view of the fountain. Our server was attentive and patiently answered our questions about certain menu items. As well, she suggested some of her favorites. Our food was served hot and everyone enjoyed their choices. Because we hadn’t seen each other for awhile, we were at the table for nearly two hours. We were never made to feel like we needed to hurry and leave. We’ll definitely be back! - 2/25/2020

Dinner with husband evening of Feb. 16. Attentive service. Husband ordered Jambalaya which had to have a rice substitution due to kitchen running out of creole rice. He said he didn’t really notice any difference. My prime rib was delicious though a tad too fatty. Restaurant has good acoustics. Great server and courses were well paced. Will definitely dine there again! - 2/18/2020
