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”

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

“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!”

“We got pizza from across the street for a snack and brought it over. The bar service was out of sight. Here’s my version. If you’re looking for a place with a friendly atmosphere, great hospitality, and drink names that remind you of places and the town sometimes this is the place to be. I can’t tell what I had but it was very fitting for me.

The staff treats you like they’ve known you for years, the customers make you feel right at home, and the drink menu names deserves its own comedy show. Half the fun is ordering a drink without laughing at the name. I spent so much time reading the menu that my first drink almost became my last drink before I made a decision.

It’s the kind of small-town bar where everybody seems to know everybody, and if they don’t know you when you walk in, they probably will by the time you leave. Great drinks, great people, and enough laughter to make you forget what day of the week it is.

Highly recommended—just be careful, those cleverly named drinks have a way of introducing themselves twice. We didn’t spend much on drinks more to the band and Bartender you can spend whatever you. Prices were reasonable.”

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

“This place is great! It is a family restaurant, not just a pub. I had the Special, a Loaded Baked Potato with pulled pork. It was huge and delicious! Our table also had the Smash Burger and fries, it was yummy as well. It has a laid back atmosphere, and our server Brittany was so sweet and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be back.”

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

“Its been a while since I've been to one,I'm glad to say there fish is still delicious especially the extra crumbs they give you. Staff was friendly well put together and the place was clean even the bathrooms 👍”

“I know the chain kinda went downhill because of the poor quality of some of their franchises (the one in our town was frankly nasty and went out of business), but the LJS in Cave City is an example of what all should be. Very clean; well-staffed; the orders filled promptly, correctly and delicious. Prices are higher but that's just everywhere.

I hate that this restaurant is 4 hours from us because I'd likely eat there frequently. It's the one place I've ever been able to get battered, not breaded, chicken.”

“The staff here are really kind, they talked to us a little bit, we asked if they like the pizza and they talked a pretty big game about it so we ordered one, it was really good actually, to our surprise.”

“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.”

“My favorite Taco Bell! I always go through the drive thru and I am always greeted in the nicest and most professional way. The food always comes out hot and fresh. I come here on the regular and the workers remember my order, making me feel valued. They are very nice people running a fantastic place!”

“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.”

“I used to work at this shell station subway. Not the best staff, food was actually pretty acceptable, it was yummy. Id recommend the meatball marinara protein bowl if ya like meatballs. Overall pretty good place but just not my favorite staff.”

“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.”

“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”

“I think there were only two people working. They were practically running to keep everyone happy. The workers tonight need to be rewarded for all of their effort. they did great although we felt bad for them. but the managers who were responsible for scheduling the shift should probably be fired...”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“The service was very good. The burgers were delicious but beware the prices are NOT updated on the menu.”

“Stumbled upon this after our GPS offered an alternate route. What a great find. The best service from friendly staff, cozy interior with plenty of tables and tasty food options. All salad dressings are homemade & delicious. Pecan Cobbler was a wow! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.”

“Went with a group. Had a great time. Great food! Great service. Best margaritas around. Would recommend for sure!”

“Great people good food love it here”
