This gem nestled in the Eli part of Russell County (KY) is a diamond in the rough. We were traveling thru the area and decided to give this place a try. We started off one their house salad, which consisted of traditional lettuce, chess, tomatoes and cucumbers. I tried the boneless wings, they were ok, but did not really stand out, but keep in mind I have tried wings everywhere, these I would described as being run of the mill, not bad. I had the Double Springs Burger, with cheese and bacon in addition to the standard toppings, My wife had the Patty Melt, which included grilled onions on a butted Texas Toast. Both burgers were grilled just right, not burnt or dry. The side of a Loaded Bake potato was hot and creamy, it is served with both cheese and bacon. The pies are out of this world delicious, the peanut butter and the butterscotch are the best two. This family own place is one of the best locations in Russell Co, for food, community and conversations. Great People, Great food. They make you feel like family and all the staff are very friendly. The good is good and reasonable priced.

Good Kentucky country cooking. Had catfish with fries, slaw and hushpuppies. The slaw was just the way I like it, very fine chopped with very sweet creamy dressing. Really good hushpuppies and when I asked for a couple of more they happily complied. The catfish was excellent and the fries nice and hot. Never heard of Eli, KY before but well worth finding.

I ordered fish, and it was all crust and very little fish inside. It was overcooked. It was my first time there. I had heard it was good, so I might give it one more chance. The waitress was very nice and friendly and came back several times. She gets an A+.

Great food, and good prices,nice clean atmosphere. Little short staffed sometimes but always worth the waitKid-friendliness: It's just a family like place you and your kids can set down talk an enjoy a nice dinner togetherParking: Decent size parking lot easy the enter and to exit
Food is delicious! Catfish really is worth the hype. Service could be a little friendlier in my opinion. But it's a great place to stop by for some good country cooking!

It was nice and quiet and friendly. Service was a little on the slower side but not terrible. The food was good but not the best food I've ever had.
