“Nice quaint local restaurant close to the lake. Unfortunately, they sold out of the big pretzel, but their smoked porkchop was very good. They also had a special peach cheesecake that was great. The service was friendly, they made us feel very welcomed. We will be back.”

Adult beverages are also an option here.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room to sit, and you could even get to go. Plenty of a soda selection and pizza by the slice was great for kids option.”

“You can’t get anymore hometown and friendly than this place. The absolute best staff there is. My 3 year old daughter has been going here once a week since she was little to eat breakfast with her great grandparents. The entire staff treat her like a local celebrity every time she walks in. They all know her name, she knows all theirs too. They celebrate her birthday and treat her with so much kindness. I can’t give them enough praise or thank them enough! She looks forward to breakfast there every week.”

“Bucky Bee's BBQ of Cave City turned out to be a delightful discovery during my travels. Opting for fresh food over fast food led me to this gem conveniently located off I-65. The ambiance of the place immediately caught my attention, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.My choice, the biggest baked potato covered in brisket, bacon, and cheese, exceeded expectations. Each bite was a flavorful journey, with the combination of tender brisket, crispy bacon, and gooey cheese creating a harmonious symphony of tastes and textures. It was truly a potato lover's dream come true, and I relished every moment of it.The cleanliness of the establishment and the friendly demeanor of the server added to the overall positive experience. Despite being a random stop, I felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout my visit. The prompt service ensured that I didn't have to wait long for my meal to arrive, allowing me to enjoy it while it was still hot and fresh.The BBQ sauces provided the perfect finishing touch, adding an extra layer of flavor to an already delicious meal. With all factors considered, I wholeheartedly recommend Bucky Bee's BBQ to anyone in search of mouthwatering barbecue and a welcoming atmosphere. It's a culinary destination worth seeking out and savoring.”

“This Diner is yummy! The peeps was smiling, happy. The establishment was clean. The food was delicious! The Strawberry Cobbler is a must must try! Our family will back next visit to Kentucky! ? ”

“This is a combo A&W + Long John Silvers so you can order off of both chains' menu. I tried one of LJS's new rice bowls with grilled shrimp and thought it was quite good. Then I topped it off with an A&W root beer float. Delightful!”

“We've seen Cracker Barrel stores around but have never been in so we were quite confused when we walked through the door and it was a shop instead of a restaurant!Food/Taste/ - ordered Grilled Catfish and Country Fried Steak. We were debating between the grilled and fried and the waitress recommended the grilled and it was AMAZING! It was so tender, light, and flaky with just with a touch of citrus. The country fried steak was fried well with a delicious gravy to smother it with. While the mains were on the saltier side, the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes where on the milder side so it went perfectly. We never had fried apples before so decided to get it as a side and it was delicious! - they assume everyone has been in the store before and knows where to order and where to pay. However, everyone we talked to was extremely friendly and helpful once they realize it's our first time!Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go so we didn't step into the restaurant itself. The store was quite varied in the items they carried but it was fun to browse while waiting for our food.Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food, reasonable price, friendly service. Would absolutely visit again!”

“It was so nice to find a Long John’s silvers while traveling. It was a great to see happy smiling team members who were courteous and fast. The store was super clean. Food was fresh and tasty. I will definitely visit again.”

“Been here a few times, food is always great, drink order is spot on (most places mess up my drink somehow), server is very friendly and does a great job. Some reviews fuss about time but its no longer than any fresh cooked food in my experience”

“We stopped here tonight on our way from Southern TN to visit family in London KY. The food was delicious, our server was amazing, and everyone was very friendly. They were really busy when we first got there but our service was quick and perfect! We will definitely be stopping here again!”

“I absolutely Love Schlotzskys! And this location did not disappoint. I got the Original Supreme, and it was made perfectly. Service was also good, the guy behind the counter was a little hard to understand because of the accent was super friendly and polite. Always love Schlotzskys, an this location was no exception.”

“Great great great food, especially the gravy, for the location! We stopped here to grab a bite with little time to spare getting to the Mammoth Cave tours, and this worked fantastically.”

“this im sorry in a way to say is the best subway weve been to in a while. bl: food: a1. service: got it right with a smile. atmosphere: smelled great and was clean. good bathroom and was clean enough to eat in the restaurant. its smaller subway than usual but clean, smells great, u could eat there, good bathroom and clean, drinks are great. we enjoyed it twice. its just in smiths grove ky is all. dont ask me. hahaVegetarian options: there are vegetarian options at a subwayParking: parking is not marked, its in a gas stations lot. neither subway nor this gas station care AT ALL where we park. there is 5 or so spaces for parking cuz theres nobody here. our foreign brothers and sisters running this subway are running it way better than our american youth are. im sowwy thats the truth folx. do i recommend this subway? yes except that its in smiths grove ky yes.”

“Really good home cooked comfort food. The building and facilities are in some real need of some remodeling help, but the service is great and everything on the buffet is really good. I had the fried catfish and it was excellent. My husband had the meatloaf and loved it. What they lack in atmosphere they certainly deliver on good food and country charm. And you can't beat the price.”

“Me and my sister have been here twice so far and the customer service is excellent and the food is excellent. They make really good sandwiches here and that's saying something because I used to work at Subway. The employees are very friendly.?”

“Google is jacked again...they are open and serving ice cream. If you never had Carvel soft serve before, it's the best hands down. Won't eat DQ again if you had a choice between the two.”

“This is always a fun place to stop and grab a quick bite of food, as they all have the same menu through out the country and there nice and fast to stop at, this one though we realized other then having a few extra ordering kiosks though has some avocado sauce that I haven't seen yet as a option on the computer that is definitely worth checking as a option to go with your normal assortments of hot sauceVegetarian options: They have a few options on the menus at most locations that I know of with a small v on the left of a item on the menu to indicate that you can order it as a vegetarian option, with the meat being replaced by black beans or other vegetables, and with the kiosks they allow you to change up the amounts of items in your food as well as add on other options”

“Awesome AustinGot breakfast this morning and was greeted by Austin. Great customer service and memory. Told him everything I wanted on the sandwich and he built a sandwich without asking me over and over again, what would you like on your sandwich anything else. Great personality.”

“Ordered on my phone, went to use the bathroom, came out and my order was ready. Not only was it quick but it was actually hot and tasted good. Best McDonalds from Nashville to Louisville on 65 and I’ve tried em all.”

“Attention please! This TacoBell is in a T/A Express truck stop building. They have NO kiosks! Actual human interaction! With polite young people that actually are doing a fantastic job! This is how ALL TacoBells should be! NO ordering Kiosks!So owner, do not change a thing. 03 Apr 2024 1830hrs!”

“Burgers are great and the atmosphere is very nice. But it may take a few to get someone's attention.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Yes a wheelchair has parking and close local to the door”

“We had a good overall experience they weren't too busy when we ordered through the drive through. They didn't make my husband's burger the way he wanted it but that could happen anywhere. The cashier at the window was very nice and the customer service more than made up for the discrepancy.”
