“Popped into Lantern Cafe for some ice cream after a two hour Drips and Domes, Mammoth Cave National Park tour. Ice cream was really tasty. A kid next to us had the pretzel, WOW it was as big as his head. Great place for a rest after any cave tour.”

“A good restaurant located right by the Mammoth caves. The food was good tasting and the service was amazing. It was a little bit loud in the building but not too bad. The karst burger is one of the best items on the menu. Overall a great restaurant.”

“After a day exploring Kentucky Down Under, we hit up El Mazatlan for a late lunch. It was a beautiful day outside, so we chose to eat on the patio. There was a covered portion, but we stayed in the sun to stay warm in the cool spring air. The server sat us immediately and brought us complimentary fresh chips and salsa. We were starving, so we gobbled them up while flipping through the extensive menu. The servers brought us extra chips and salsa while we waited for our food and drinks. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two steak tacos off the à la carte lunch menu (until 3pm daily). There was a $0.99 upcharge each for grilled vs shredded chicken and carne asada vs ground beef, and it was totally worth it. My daughter ordered two grilled chicken quesadillas as well. And our friends ordered beef nachos and a fajita platter. All of it was delicious, with large portions. I had a couple of house margaritas, which were tasty and a steal at just $5.50 each. My only complaints were that the queso dip was rather small and not worth the $5, and (like most places) they charge way too much for a soda ($3.25). The service was excellent. Our server Juan was friendly and very attentive, and several others checked in on us throughout our meal to ensure we were taken care. I’ll definitely be back the next time I visit Cave City, Hidden River Cave, or Kentucky Down Under.”

“We went here yesterday on a whim. It was delicious! Funny names that the kids loved! Cute hot dog photo op. The staff were so kind and helpful!”

“Passed by this place about a thousand times and never thought to stop figured it would be just like any other pizza place my husband and I woke up hungry thinking about wings ordered the bourbon sauced kind and they were phenomenal also ordered a mushroom and pepperoni pizza that tasted amazing the wait time on when it was supposed to be ready was exactly as the time they quoted and the food was the perfect temp 10/10 will be ordering the wings again idk if you can order and side of that sauce but i will definitely be trying lol.”

“We got pizza from across the street for a snack and brought it over. The bar service was out of sight. Here’s my version. If you’re looking for a place with a friendly atmosphere, great hospitality, and drink names that remind you of places and the town sometimes this is the place to be. I can’t tell what I had but it was very fitting for me.

The staff treats you like they’ve known you for years, the customers make you feel right at home, and the drink menu names deserves its own comedy show. Half the fun is ordering a drink without laughing at the name. I spent so much time reading the menu that my first drink almost became my last drink before I made a decision.

It’s the kind of small-town bar where everybody seems to know everybody, and if they don’t know you when you walk in, they probably will by the time you leave. Great drinks, great people, and enough laughter to make you forget what day of the week it is.

Highly recommended—just be careful, those cleverly named drinks have a way of introducing themselves twice. We didn’t spend much on drinks more to the band and Bartender you can spend whatever you. Prices were reasonable.”

“Its been a while since I've been to one,I'm glad to say there fish is still delicious especially the extra crumbs they give you. Staff was friendly well put together and the place was clean even the bathrooms 👍”

“My wife and I were traveling through the area on a return trip. The restaurants and pubs are limited in this area. My wife suggested this location and we arrived at 8pm.
We walked into a very clean, well laid out dining and bar area. We were seated immediately and served promptly.
The waitress, bartender and chef all made us feel more than welcome and were very friendly.
The pizza was over the top good and served up hot and fresh! The Long Island iced teas were to die for! Cup of top shelf and super tasty.
They closed at nine today, however, they told us to stay as long as we liked? Seriously….. we finished our dinner at 9:20, 20 minutes after close and never felt rushed….
Thank you all for making us feel like locals. Dan and Lisa.”

“The staff were friendly and service was quick. The restaurant was very clean! My husband ordered from the A&W menu and said the double cheeseburgers were really good and the root beer made here was great. I’m not a root beer fan and I thought it tasted good. I ordered from Long John Silver menu and the fish was hot, fresh and great! Green beans and hush puppies were also really good. I had half sweet/half unsweet tea and it was freshly made. We will stop here again when driving thru to visit our son in Ohio.”

“Have been here before & love it for its friendly staff, open-air dining option, prices & excellent service. Plenty of vegetarian options; fewer for vegans like me. Just ask your server for help/info.”

“The staff here are really kind, they talked to us a little bit, we asked if they like the pizza and they talked a pretty big game about it so we ordered one, it was really good actually, to our surprise.”

“Excellent service and the BEST salad I’ve had at a Subway! I’m gluten free so it means a lot when someone puts extra effort into making it taste good with extra goodies!”

“The Albuquerque was delicious !!😋”

“I highly recommend Kristin's Kitchen. Kristin is very cordial. I ordered dinner for 12 and spoke with her by phone. She fulfilled every request and delivered the meal all ready to serve. The food was excellent with ample servings. I will definitely use her again.”

“Met a lady at the gas station to buy a quest and the kid that was getting it likes the subway pizza sub so I ordered him one.
Both the younger girls working were super polite and the kid said his pizza sub was a work of art and the best one he's ever had
The girl with the brownish red hair I think,is who made it and she made sure it was made right.
I'm not a huge fan and get the meatball and this pizza sub was one of the best smelling ones I've ever been around.”

“I found this place by chance on a road trip to Cumberland Falls. The meat was so flavorful, I couldn't add the BBQ sauce. I wanted to savor the meat. The BBQ sauce was so good though I found myself dipping my potato wedges in it. Hash brown Casserole was amazing. It was so good, I stopped again on my way home. I know they're sharing a spot inside a gas station but ya'll I'm telling you, it was fire. Both times. Did I mention me & my adult son ate until full for around $20 bucks? I had pulled pork & he had jumbo Chicken Tenders.”
