This was one of my favorite places we ate on our road trip. The food was fantastic and it was so fun to have some derby drinks.
Def overpriced for the food, but honestly really good for cafe food. Had to try the Kentucky foods but they were goodd.

Burgoo soup 7.5/10 (but $8 WTF)
Kerns Derby Pie Tart 7.7/10
Baked Potato + Brisket surprising 8.5/10
