Restaurants near Cave City

“After a day exploring Kentucky Down Under, we hit up El Mazatlan for a late lunch. It was a beautiful day outside, so we chose to eat on the patio. There was a covered portion, but we stayed in the sun to stay warm in the cool spring air. The server sat us immediately and brought us complimentary fresh chips and salsa. We were starving, so we gobbled them up while flipping through the extensive menu. The servers brought us extra chips and salsa while we waited for our food and drinks. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two steak tacos off the à la carte lunch menu (until 3pm daily). There was a $0.99 upcharge each for grilled vs shredded chicken and carne asada vs ground beef, and it was totally worth it. My daughter ordered two grilled chicken quesadillas as well. And our friends ordered beef nachos and a fajita platter. All of it was delicious, with large portions. I had a couple of house margaritas, which were tasty and a steal at just $5.50 each. My only complaints were that the queso dip was rather small and not worth the $5, and (like most places) they charge way too much for a soda ($3.25). The service was excellent. Our server Juan was friendly and very attentive, and several others checked in on us throughout our meal to ensure we were taken care. I’ll definitely be back the next time I visit Cave City, Hidden River Cave, or Kentucky Down Under.”

“Great vibes, very welcoming and great coffee ❤️ would definitely stop by again”

“We went here yesterday on a whim. It was delicious! Funny names that the kids loved! Cute hot dog photo op. The staff were so kind and helpful!”

“Amazing pizza!!! Who what of thought in this small town we would legit NY pizza. Which I’d gotten the lasagna too.”

“Everything you love about a dive bar without everything you dislike about a dive bar! The bartender makes each person feel like you’re the most important person in the place and mixes up the best cocktails in town! Great music and atmosphere. Clean bathrooms, nice pool table, comfortable intimate seating and an all around warm welcoming space to relax and enjoy the evening. Super sweet airb&b’s , motels, & cool shops in walking distance. It’s the sweet spot! ♛”

“Absolutely fun environment, excellent food, top service and a great experience, very clean! 10/10 stars!”

“This was okay, we did visit at an odd time of day. The service was okay. There wasn't very many diners just maybe two more tables. I got the smashburger and the Mrs tried the taco salad. They were both enjoyable the taco salad had some really good flavors. We'll go back again in the evening when they have live music.”

“I haven't had LJS in a few years and decided to stop at this one. I walked in on a Sunday and it was packed! I soon found out why! The staff was great and courteous. The manager came and checked on everyone! The food came out fast and fresh. I got the sampler. I will definitely be back!”

“I travel often throughout the U.S. and a lot if not all of the LJS restaurants have fallen well far below the standards so much i have given up on eating at LJS forever, but i was staying at a hotel right across the street and the girl at the front desk recommended LJS and said this LJS is a very good restaurants. She was right. This place is untouched ftom the foreign owned LJS restaurants that have been ruined. This is by far the best one i have ever been to including the LJS restaurants from the 80's. Great staff, excellent food quality, and a super nice clean place to dine if you want fast food. I can't believe it actually exists. Keep up the great work.”

“Best service and food from Cave City Kentucky we have had!!! Highly recommend”

“This particular Casey’s location consistently distinguishes itself as a premier destination. The culinary offerings are reliably exceptional, characterized by their freshness and ideal serving temperatures. While occasional variances are to be expected in any establishment of this nature, the staff consistently demonstrates a commendable level of professionalism and hospitality. My visits have invariably been marked by outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere. Although fuel prices reflect a slight premium, this is entirely understandable given the regional market. I can unequivocally recommend this Casey’s above all others I have frequented.”

“I found this place by chance on a road trip to Cumberland Falls. The meat was so flavorful, I couldn't add the BBQ sauce. I wanted to savor the meat. The BBQ sauce was so good though I found myself dipping my potato wedges in it. Hash brown Casserole was amazing. It was so good, I stopped again on my way home. I know they're sharing a spot inside a gas station but ya'll I'm telling you, it was fire. Both times. Did I mention me & my adult son ate until full for around $20 bucks? I had pulled pork & he had jumbo Chicken Tenders.”

“I had the buffet and the food was excellent! The roast had big slices of carrots, small potatoes, tender flavorful meat, My granddaughter had the Ribeye and loved it. The salad bar was really good. I would love to know how they fixed the corn. It was delicious! Stacie our waitress was great! She seemed to have several jobs and was handling them well. We will stop thee again!”

“Dining room is small - this location seems to do a larger drive-through business. Everything we ordered (burgers, fries, and blizzards) was ready fairly quickly and delicious.”

“this is literally the best taco bell, they are so nice whoever ran the drive thru september 2nd 2026 and the food is always good and yall are very nice. they deserve a raise”

“Best Wendy’s experience in years even though it was a Friday night and they were packed. Staff was very nice and friendly. Food was quick, fresh and delicious. Would definitely go to Wendy’s more often if other places were more like this one.”

“We stopped at this McDonald's earlier this evening. The staff was the friendliest and most accommodating of any fast food restaurant we have visited. The store was very clean and well laid out. A special thanks to the employees.”

“Ordered food at 2:30pm to be picked up at 8:30pm when I went to pick it up they didn't have the chocolate chip cookies I already paid for instead I got whatever cookies they wanted to and I won't eat them that's why I ordered ahead to make sure they had them. Dp better!”

“We went through the drive thru on Saturday (7/27) at around 9 PM. There was only one man working so the wait was above-average, like over 20 minutes. The man at the window was pretty brusque and seemed over it in general, but he wasn’t outwardly rude. I think he’d be a lot less stressed out if he had some help.

Vegetarian options: Jalapeño poppers, French fries, tater tots”

“The KFC in Cave City has hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had from any KFC franchise. The chicken was cooked to perfection, fresh, flavorful, and prepared with exceptional care. Whoever was responsible for preparing that chicken deserves a raise because the quality was absolutely outstanding! To top it all off, the customer service was beyond phenomenal. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers both excellent food and exceptional service, but this location exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend this KFC to anyone passing through Cave City. Forget 10 out of 10, I give this location a solid 20 out of 20! Keep up the outstanding work!”

“The biscuits are amazing and the staff is incredible!! Very friendly place with great food. They really hustle too!! I highly recommend Miss Betty’s!”

“We Love Esters Farm Cafe & Catering. Food is Delicious and Everyone is so Friendly.”

“This was the first time visiting this restaurant and although it was more pricey it was absolutely worth it!! Everything is made in house, handmade dressing for the salad, pasta, rolls…The server truly was all about creating a wonderful experience for me and my mom. We both ordered the eggplant parm and it was incredible. The dinner rolls, oh my gosh…out of this world!! I have this saved so that when we are back in the area this will be our spot to eat for sure!! Thank you for the memorable experience, Napolis!!!”

“Fantastic place to visit. Great food. Full of flavor. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. place was packed. Service was awesome even being packed as it was. I had chicken burrito bowl. FULL of FLAVOR. Tender chicken. I intended to bring some back home, didn't happen lol. Ate the whole meal. Can't go wrong visiting the Fine Art Bistro in Glasgow Ky.”

“Great people good food love it here”

“The food was incredible! The food is really spicy if you decide to get around 7. I got a four and it was enough to make it hot but enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy and the service it impeccable. Overall 10/10. Definitely give it a try if you’re driving through Glasgow and you’re looking for something local!”

“This is a great stop! Parking was not bad. The staff was very friendly and professional. The food was very good. I would 💯 come back to check out other options that they serve. The atmosphere was good, the only thing that was different for us was the dim lighting. If you are staying close by or driving through it is worth the stop. The fried pickles were some of the best we have had paired with the house made ranch. The catfish was really well seasoned. The Monterey Chicken was really tasty. We also tried the loaded fries. All the veggies in our meal were very fresh.”

“Been going here since they opened….Ive never been disappointed. While other places have gone sky high their prices have remained reasonable. Always friendly and appreciative of our business. I love it!”

“Very good BBQ. Just happened upon the place on a back road to KY bourbon tour!”

“love all there food you can't go wrong eating there.cleanand friendly staff.Good home cooking.”
