Emma's Southern Style Cooking

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.

Great food. Wonderful staff. Owner was so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!can’t wait to go back

This is a great title mom and pop restaurant, the food was amazingly delicious. We talked to the owner, she was so gracious and a warm personality. Just like eating at moms house. The ribs , and cole slaw I had, was as good as it gets. We came in on motorcycles, rode across The Little Shepard Trail. Which is basically a one lane paved road across a ridgetop down into Kingdom Come state park. Got to see log rock. Then across Black Mountain, highest point in Kentucky. This road rivals The Tail of the Dragon. This is a great trip for motorcyclists, the cherry on top was finding this restaurant for a wonderful meal with appreciative owners and workers. This will be our go to diner for all our trips to this area. Go enjoy the mountain roads, and a great meal
