Our food was fresh, hot, and delicious! We were fortunate to meet the owner during the Possumfest rush, she and her team are some amazing folks! They went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will be back!

We were in town for the 2025 Possum Fest and had one of the very best meals EVER at Emma's. We ate every bite!

So happy we found this place. The folks here are incredible — kind, welcoming, and great company. A storm hit while we were eating and they made us our own eating area inside so we didn’t have to eat in the car. So thoughtful. We had a blast getting to know everyone while enjoying some AMAZING food. Everything we ordered was perfect and so fresh. Best food I’ve had in Cumberland, hands down. You’ve got a big fan, Emma!!

Y’all. This is a hidden treasure. You’re going to pull up and think it looks a little shady, and you may contemplate just leaving, but you need to stay and eat this food. Emma is the cook and she can cook up some fabulous catfish, green beans, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. I have had lots of cornbread over the years in Kentucky, but this was THE BEST cornbread I have ever had. The taste and the softness were to die for. 10/10 would recommend.

Place is close down

Food was awesome and the workers and owner were very friendly! It was about a 30 minute drive for me to make but I will definitely be back again.

It's the best deep-fried catfish and coleslaw anywhere around the area. The presentation is beautiful. We enjoyed our visit. We were sad Emma's wasn't open when we left.

A nice little find while roaming around the hills. Good food and the most friendly folks you will ever find. Great personal service. Seems to be a local favorite with many regulars.
