Emma's Southern Style Cooking

Great food and service. You can eat outside, but there is no dine in option. Cash only.

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.

Best home cooked food around! I have been eating here for years and the quality and taste of the food never disappoints. They have a different menu every day. Usually they offer two meal options at a time. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. When serving the food they wear gloves and put extra care into the presentation on the plate as well. There is a lot of love and care in the meals. The service is fast as well. They currently (June, 2024) offer an outdoor covered picnic area but are in the process of constructing a permanent indoor dinning area. Seating could be limited until the construction is complete but while the weather is warm it is a perfect place to eat as take out! It is close to a city park and is on the same road as the entrance to Kingdom Come State Park

Parking: There is a large parking lot and a vacant lot next to it that could offer over flow parking

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs. It is flat pavement from the parking lot into the building

A true hidden gem. The food and staff are wonderful. I got the meatloaf with sides and it was truly down home cooked to perfection. The restaurant is in the way to Kingdom Come State park and worth a stop.
