253 2nd St, Pikeville, KY 41501

(859) 523-3222

Located in downtown Pikeville, Kentucky.  Their website indicates that they’re a restaurant by day and nightlife by night.  I was really in the mood for some nachos and it’s just around the corner from my hotel.  Sorry to miss out on the nightlife!


 Environment

This place used to be a bank and is now a local sports bar and night club.  Pretty traditional setting with a nice dining area, room for larger groups and a bar.  There are a few televisions scattered throughout and a couple in the bar area.  If I’m not mistaken, there’s also a jukebox in the dining area as well.


Attendance 

Great service and they constantly stopped by to make sure I was doing okay.  I know that’s what they get paid to do, but I appreciate the effort nonetheless.

 


Chew

Loaded Chicken Nachos

Black beans, corn, salsa, mixed cheese, jalapenos, avocado, sour cream

For whatever reason, I had been thinking of nachos all day and these did not fail to deliver.  I was offered corn or flour chips and no question, you always get the corn chips, right?  Don’t normally have corn on my nachos, but this was quite good.  Thick with cheese and grilled chicken, these nachos aren’t for the faint of heart.

 


Endorsement

Bank 253 hit the spot and the staff there were excellent.  I would gladly return!

 


Tip Top Chew

Hi!  I’m James, single dad of two awesome kids (Kennedy and Boyd) who often join me in my journey of finding great places to dine.  I started Tip Top Chew as a hobby on Facebook back in 2015 and Instagram in early 2018.  It’s a something I enjoy even though I get made fun of sometimes when I break out the camera to take pictures of my food!  🙂

My goal with this blog, is to be able to share a bit more of my creative side and to grow stronger relationships with my kids as we venture out and share together.  We’re starting a segment called Chewing with Dad to help us to get away from our phones while out so that we might enjoy each other’s company more as we discuss our adventures,  Then we all write down our thoughts.  I’m really looking forward to this process!
