If you’ve never experienced Ethiopian cuisine, you are in for an amazing experience. If you’ve been fortunate to have tried it, you’ll surely rate Uchenna as one of the best. Beautifully created dishes made to be scooped up with a unique and traditional “flatbread”. Set the silverware down and jump in!

Fusion cuisine at its finest. Chef Brother Luck’s second successful restaurant in the Springs features more than just dumplings, but they are definitely not to be missed. Call to check when the next chef’s tasting menu is to try all of his new creations!

If a bunch of food trucks started a commune, this would be it. Wander through to check out the offerings or grab a table and order from your phone. They’ll text you when it’s ready. In the meantime there are local beers, ciders, and gin concoctions (from Lee Spirits) to enjoy. We’ve never had a disappointing dish here.

Three restaurants in one place. By morning, it’s the DBC (Atomic Cowboy in the evening and Fat Silly’s for late night pizza). Large portions of biscuit “sandwiches” stuffed with delicious options to interest everyone. Wear your stretchy pants.
