“Honestly a lot better than I expected it to be. Food was alright, nothing exceptional. The price was fair, nothing obscenely bloated. It's basically a small cafeteria that sells cafeteria quality food. It does get crowded when tours end, so keep that in mind when visiting.”

“We left Gatlinburg this morning from our vacation and this was our next destination. It was five hours of driving and we did not stop to get anything to eat along the way. We had a stretch for about an hour and 20 minutes where we did not even see a restaurant. We were desperately in need of something to eat and that’s when I pulled up and realized that they have food here at the NP. We just figured we might as well wait and eat here and make sure we’re here on time because I always like to be early when we have a tour paid for. The food was pretty good and the staff were friendly. There are options on the menu here sounded better to us than the other place to eat, but that’s just because we ate most of the stuff on that other menu all week. It definitely hit the spot.”

“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.”

“Great vibes, very welcoming and great coffee ❤️ would definitely stop by again”

“The biscuits are amazing and the staff is incredible!! Very friendly place with great food. They really hustle too!! I highly recommend Miss Betty’s!”

“Amazing pizza!!! Who what of thought in this small town we would legit NY pizza. Which I’d gotten the lasagna too.”

“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!”

“Our visit was quite an experience. Todd, the owner, has some very entertaining stories and the food was amazing. Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Definitely a hidden gem.”

“Me and the wife had dinner today and we was very pleased. Service was good and food was great!! Keep up the good work 👏”

“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.”

“Best service and food from Cave City Kentucky we have had!!! Highly recommend”

“This was okay, we did visit at an odd time of day. The service was okay. There wasn't very many diners just maybe two more tables. I got the smashburger and the Mrs tried the taco salad. They were both enjoyable the taco salad had some really good flavors. We'll go back again in the evening when they have live music.”

“I travel often throughout the U.S. and a lot if not all of the LJS restaurants have fallen well far below the standards so much i have given up on eating at LJS forever, but i was staying at a hotel right across the street and the girl at the front desk recommended LJS and said this LJS is a very good restaurants. She was right. This place is untouched ftom the foreign owned LJS restaurants that have been ruined. This is by far the best one i have ever been to including the LJS restaurants from the 80's. Great staff, excellent food quality, and a super nice clean place to dine if you want fast food. I can't believe it actually exists. Keep up the great work.”

“Absolutely fun environment, excellent food, top service and a great experience, very clean! 10/10 stars!”

“Wanted something quick and got it. It's an A&W fused with Long John Silvers so you know exactly what the quality is. But the staff was very friendly and one even brought my tray to me even though it's not the kind of place that would do that.”

“This particular Casey’s location consistently distinguishes itself as a premier destination. The culinary offerings are reliably exceptional, characterized by their freshness and ideal serving temperatures. While occasional variances are to be expected in any establishment of this nature, the staff consistently demonstrates a commendable level of professionalism and hospitality. My visits have invariably been marked by outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere. Although fuel prices reflect a slight premium, this is entirely understandable given the regional market. I can unequivocally recommend this Casey’s above all others I have frequented.”

“This is not a food review. I had a really bad day today and I had the most uplifting experience there today! I didn’t catch her name but I was stopping at Subway to pick up a mobile order, They were still working on it, which was completely fine. There was this lady working there who was talking to me while I was waiting for my food. She was the most uplifting great spirited person. Genuinely so sweet and gave me AMAZING service. Absolutely turned my day completely around for the better! It’s so rare these days to see people genuinely enjoy their job and still spread so much kindness.”

“The Albuquerque was delicious !!😋”

“Discovered this place while passing through from TN to IN. I really enjoyed the Chili Relleno with red sauce. The pepper was huge; it took up half the plate - very tasty. The Carnitas were tender and delicious,. Friendly service, charming atmosphere and location in Smith's Grove. It's a small business, not a chain. Would definitely like to dine here, 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 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.”

“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.”
