“I’m not sure how long this cafe has been around but the food was AMAZING!We sat in the back watching how the customers interacted with the employees & vice versa. It’s a warm welcoming place that has live music on the weekends.The prices are great & you get a lot of food. I ordered the 2 Pc. Lemon Pepper Chicken on Rice $9.95 with brussel sprouts & deviled eggs as my sides. It comes with a dinner roll.My friend Charity Cruz ordered the 2 Pc. Grilled Pork Chops $11.95 with mac & cheese & green beans as her sides. It comes with a dinner roll.The only small complaint we had is they brought my food out before hers & it was a good minute before hers was brought out. So the dilemma is do I start to eat my food & hope hers arrives soon or do I wait & risk mine getting cold?You don’t normally see deviled eggs on the menu as a side. I’m glad I choose to get them! They were delicious. I’m new to eating brussels sprouts (like within the last year). Every time my friend orders them she always gets balsamic vinegar. I asked our server if he had this and he said unfortunately, no. So I was a little leery since that’s how’s I’ve always now eaten them but I went ahead and ordered them anyway. They needed NOTHING additional on them because they were seasoned perfectly! These were by far the best brussels sprouts that I have ever ate.The chicken was tender and flavorful. I wish the rice would’ve had some type of seasoning in it just to give it some type of flavor. It was just rice, nothing spectacular. The chicken definitely made up for it!The pork chops were very tender, they were unfortunately a little on the bland side. She added salt, pepper and even asked for A1. If they can get it to where there is seasoning coming through those pork chops would definitely be a 10!The mac & cheese was cheesy, but it too, was a little bland. She wasn’t a fan of the green beans, she said there was a sweet taste to them. I don’t particularly like green beans but I did try them. I personally didn’t taste anything sweet to them but then again, I literally had one piece on my fork lol.We will definitely be back!“
“Our first time in the Byrdstown area and we were happy to find this place. I got chicken parmesan with baked potato and garlic bread and glazed carrots. Good size portions and good price, but the BEST chicken parmesan I've had in ages. My wife got country fried steak with green beans and potato kegs (think double size tots with corn and onion in soft center). Shortstaffed, so choose your time to visit wisely. So glad to have found this restaurant. It is now in my Top 5 anywhere. If you're in the Keys, go to Burdine's; if you're near Pulaski, go to the Hickory House; if you're in Spartanburg, go to the Beacon; if you're in Carrabelle, go to the Fisherman's Wife; if you're anywhere even in the rough vicinity of Byrdstown, go to the Country Kitchen. You won't be disappointed.“
“Great little restaurant. Our server was prompt and friendly. She offered her advise when asked what was good to eat. This was our first time stopping here to sit on the porch in the pouring rain but we’ll definitely be back. We can recommend the breaded tenderloin and Cheese burger, home style fries and waffles fries. Lunch was served pretty quick and everything tasted good. Thanks again“
“This is a tradition and a must stop place for my buddies and I on our yearly road trip. We love small, local dives and this place feels like home. We always have a great time with the staff and patrons. One time they even had a crock pot of spaghetti and it was some of the best I ever had“
“By far the BEST food and service we’ve had in the Dale Hollow Lake area after 25+ years. Wanted a nice meal out to celebrate upcoming birthday. And the River Grill did not disappoint. Perfect evening, fast and friendly service, fantastic steak and shrimp!Parking: Busy restaurant, easy access“
“Everything was exceptional!!As a Truck Driver it's difficult to find a place to park at roadside restaurants, Bobcat Den was not only accommodating with plenty of parking but the food and service was EXCELLENT!!!Worth the stop if passing thru!!!“
