35 Best American Restaurants in Bowling Green

“Major kudos to the true blue crew at this location. My friends and I were starving to death after canoe camping in mammoth cave national park and only one thing could satiate us - the butter burger. We looked at the online menu to peruse our options and quickly became drunk with power - so many options and mods! We made a lot of mods and the blue crew got every single one of them correct with lightning fast service. The group online ordering feature surprisingly works great!

I highly recommend the cheese curds with marinara and chocolate shake - ya can’t mess with the classics! Also, gluten free buns are available for our friends with tummy troubles - amazing! Thank you for making our dinner dreams come true.“

“love the fact it's an old house, we sat down and service was great and fast. Best burger I've had in a long time, got the bistro burger. little bummed there's no kid menu but we made it work. my Fiance got the Henry Bain burger and she loved it as well. We got the back berry cobbler and it was good too. Definitely eat here again. 10/10“

“231 bar is one of those places where you see it and think, this could be terrible or the one if the best places in town. It's the later. Stop in on a Fri or weekend night and get some of the smoked ribs, you'll be glad you did. The burgers are also cooked and seasoned fantastically. The fries look strange but they are strangely some of the best fries we have ever had. Crisp on the out side, soft in the middle, light seasoning... They are like sliced up JoJos and fried to perfection. The wings are absolutely fantastic, the bourbon glaze? Forget about it. The staff are warm and welcoming and fun, it's where the locals go and it's where you should be as well.“

“your burgers look good, but I'd rather have my burgers cooked over a flame. less greasy that way which gives the burger a better taste. other than that, I just got a medium vanilla cone. it hit the spot.“

“Not far off interstates- WORTH THE DETOUR! Pull over for some delicious, well cooked, tasty food. Good portions. Definitely the “BANG FOR YOUR BUCK “ budget friendly pricing. Good service. Homestyle goodness. The catfish is DIVINE. The veggies are full of flavor.“

“Grear Place and Great food, was amazing. Wife loved this restaurant. Will definitely be back next time in Bowling Green Ky.“

“I sometimes eat here at the cafe in the morning for breakfast. It is an awesome buffet in the morning and always great food. Staff is always warm and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone either staying at the hotel, or just wanting to enjoy a great breakfast buffet. Just remember when the hotel is full to realize there will be a wait, but most other times you can get set pretty easily. So, for sure check this place out!“

“Quiet hotel situated within a business park, close to fast food and other small businesses and restaurants. Updated machines in the gym area with a nice indoor pool and outdoor area. The food and beverage at the Courtyard Cafe is cooked with care, which you get at some of the quality Courtyards. Driving distance to Mammoth Cave National Park, Bowling Green Hot Rods and other fun outdoor activities. Great place to stay when in town.“

“If you get Sierra as a server, you are in luck because she brings the charm along with the great food! She was sweet and responsive, and the food was delicious! We practically inhaled the croissants with the honey butter. I ordered the country fried steak and it was juicy and tender. The unlimited refill on drinks was a nice bonus and the bill didn't break the bank. It was service as it should be and food made the right way. Highly recommend!“

Good music, great service, fire wings!🔥“
