Shift Restaurant and Bar 24253 State Line Road, Lawrenceburg, IN 47025

"We go here fairly often. Always have good food and drinks. Always busy, but never have to wait for a table. Service is very good. Food options are great. Large portions. Pretzel appetizer is excellent."

"Hubby and in-laws love this place and go often, this was only my third time here and my experience is pretty much the same every time. Staff is great, atmosphere is good but the acoustics in there are deafening when you have loud people in the bar area, my goodness. The food is usually a strong 8/10 for me, this time I got the flatbread and it was more than enough for dinner and lunch the next day. The fried pickles were the hit of the night for me! I will get those every time."

"A little hidden gem. The food was very good. An atmosphere that you can talk and hear each other fine. Service was very good. Definitely will return. I had the honey drizzled chicken. Crispy outside with the right amount of honey. My guest had the chicken wings and loved them. The beer selection is huge."

"Food is excellent and the staff is amazing . Nice and easy place to have lunch or dinner. If you get the chance stop in to have a bite and a drink."

"September 2023 Edit: Our original trip to Shift was a 5⭐️ experience. We've returned a few times since and it's time for an update. The service & atmosphere are still great. Building is clean, staff is attentive and professional while not being too present. The front of house staff is put in sticky situations when the food quality from the kitchen isn't as expected. The food selections & quality is the reason for the update. In the handful of times we've been back the Sunday dinner is no longer available although it's still shown on the menu (major bummer when I brought my parents out specifically for it). The Caesar salad that used to be excellent is now a creamy italian dressing applied way too heavily (wiping dressing off of sad lettuce...), the fish & chips was bland with very thick breading (fried pickle found inside the thick fish breading), the burger patty is bland and obviously pre-frozen. The Caesar salad was off enough that we asked the server about it because 3 of us had ordered it, she swore it really was a Caesar dressing it's just a different brand than they used to use. The coleslaw tasted off. There are just a lot of inconsistencies which are piling up. I can no longer recommend this restaurant to someone with the confidence that they'd get what they ordered and enjoy their meal. Original review below--- We reserved a table through Open Table for 6pm Sunday. There were plenty of tables open when we arrived. He got a couple bottled beers and I ordered the smoked Old Fashioned. My drink was STRONG. The fried pickles. These are thin chips, not spears. The mountain of fried pickles comes with ranch & spicy ranch and would have been plenty for 4 normal people to split but the 2 of us finished them by the end of our meal lol. We didn't order it but we saw other tables getting these beautiful giant soft pretzels with bier cheese... next time! We could order the Sunday Chicken Dinner Special which is all you can eat fried chicken, 4 sides, cheddar biscuits & a dessert for $19.99 each. We picked Side Salad, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes & green beans and they were all EXCELLENT. This was the best side salad we've had at a restaurant maybe ever. Real fancy lettuce, cherry tomatoes that were actually red all the way through, Cucumbers, red onion, buttery croutons. The green beans- ok, a lot of places will give you canned green beans- not Shift! These were clearly real, living green beans that had been sautéed with onions & bacon. I'm not kidding when I say that I could have ordered an entire meal of just these green beans. Get the green beans!! (But note they aren't veggie or vegan) The chicken, mashed potatoes & mac&cheese were all great too. They were very much homemade comfort food and we will get them all again. All of the chicken & sides was available to get refilled if you'd like. We found that all of the chicken/sides arrived to us in perfect portions for both of us to be FULL but but also not wasting any food unnecessarily. Restaurants sometimes give way too large of portions so I wanted to point out that this was done perfectly and we noticed it. For the chicken dinner you each pick out a dessert. The options when we went were banana pudding, chocolate butter cake and vanilla butter cake. Our server was so gracious and polite all night. She was accurate, prompt and had excellent timing. This was our first trip to Shift and we'll happily make the 30 minute trip back to come support this restaurant and the wonderful people we encountered during the trip. This is a lot of words to say we had a great time at Shift, enjoyed an excellent meal in a place filled with caring, attentive staff. We're looking forward to coming back!"
