Love love love stockyards. I used to live in the area and go quite often. I'm not a fan of burgers and quite frankly will avoid eating them when I go out. I usually will not eat them at home either. When I went to Stockyards I tried a burger and I have now changed my opinion on burgers: I'll only eat burgers from this place.
Everything is always fresh and mostly made in house. This is true comfort food.
It is quite a busy spot and can be tough to find a place to eat but to me that's an indication that you're in for a great meal.
