    Funny sign as you enter the Blue Holler Cafe

    Nice hidden gem. Quirky decor Enjoyed the schnitzel. Great crunch on the crust. Would've enjoyed the kraut more if it was less sweet. Overall I think everyone would enjoy the trip. Beautiful scenic drive to the cafe.

    Fun little eatery we stopped at on our way from Mammoth Cave,Ky. Nothing fancy but some interesting choices. A very local place but seems to get traffic from others traveling from the cave. Breakfast served until 11 on Sunday. Choices for lunch included sandwiches, pastas, salads and chicken with sides, pies for dessert. Service no nonsense in this very casual restaurant. You will like that you stopped.

    Highly recommend. 12$ as of 6/2024

    Nice hidden gem. Love German food so had to stop. The 24oz pretzel is massive, fun for the kids. All the food we had was flavorful, the home kraut was by far the best. I could have eaten a gallon of it. Thank you

    If you are in the area, do not miss the chance to stop at this gem! We had the schnitzel and it was so flavorful. I did not expect to find German food out here. Our waitress was really nice and answered all questions about the menu. You could tell chef Claudia took pride in her food. Indoor & outdoor seating. Definitely worth stopping by. We are so glad to have found this restaurant.

    What a great little place! My husband and I stopped here after spending a few hours hiking at Mammoth Cave. We stayed in Glasgow to see a bluegrass concert at The Grove (highly recommend), so the Blue Holler Cafe was actually out of our way. We liked the reviews and love a good schnitzel, so we decided it was worth checking out. Boy, are we glad we did! Ms Claudia is more charming than the restaurant, and her food is delicious. The schnitzel was seasoned perfectly, tender, and crispy. We both enjoyed the German style potato salad and kraut (with caraway seed). We even started with a pretzel. I'm usually one to bring leftovers home from a restaurant, but everything was so yummy that I didn't leave a scrap of food behind. We will be sure to revisit if we're ever in the area again.

    True to the home cooked meal feel. We enjoyed the bratwurst and potato salad (tangy). Worth a trip out if you want to try something different from hot dogs, burgers, and pizza.

    Food was really good. Two people in our party had the Jager schnitzel and it was delicious. The side of sauerkraut was delicious also, the owner said she had made herself also. We also had a Reuben that was amazing and a cheeseburger, it was quite the mix of offerings. Their pecan pie and apple pie and some delicious cherry cobbler finished it off. Our waitress was attentive and adorable. Will definitely go back to this hidden gem.

    So delighted to see that Blue Holler is on Yelp and getting great reviews. I couldn't get service when we were there to check-in. Per the name and hillbilly taco special on the table, I was leaning in that direction for my order, until I heard the chef's German accent. So glad I ordered schnitzel. And the German potato salad was super. Even though the side of green beans didn't appear to be made from fresh beans, the seasoning made up for it. My husband was delighted with his enormous serving of country fried steak and the boys like ALL of their food, too! Two thumbs up. If we're ever back in the area, we'll be back to Blue Holler.

    Traditional hole-in-the-wall in appearance but don't let that stop you from trying this delicious and authentic German food. I wish I had ordered extra German potato salad. Lucky for me a local magazine article under the tables glass had the recipe!! The specials were packed with flavor. My husband had the sausage and sauerkraut and I ate the rouladen with house made spaetzle and it was served with red cabbage.

    Such a cute spot! Very clean. I had German Goulash, the meat was super tender and the gravy was very flavorful. Fantastic meal! My kids had burgers which they liked. We also shared a wonderful warm pretzel. The owner is so nice with a sweet story. This was the best restaurant we could find in Southwest KY.

    Spencer's is such a fun coffee shop in a college town. You'll see plenty of WKU students here as…read morewell as locals. This shop is located downtown, but there's another shop closer to the highway that has a drive-thru and parking lot. I have not been to that location. I came here twice, and I had a nitro cold brew with sugar free vanilla as well as a hot black sesame matcha with oat milk. The cold brew was smooth and strong- perfect for powering through a workday on a warm day. The black sesame matcha didn't taste "green" and stayed warm, a powerful punch to get through the afternoon. They also have unique non-coffee drinks; my coworker got an iced drink called "Huckleberry Ben" that seemed interesting. The prices are so low here. You can get two specialty coffee drinks for under $15, and that includes tax and tip. The baristas were nice, and the coffee shop is a fun place to hang out if you want to work or chill. I don't know why anyone would drink chain coffee in Bowling Green with Spencer's around. I can see why everyone loves it, and I will be back too!

    We visited the Fountain Square Park and ended up stopping here unexpectedly because I needed to use…read morethe restroom. The shared restroom setup was a little awkward, but honestly, I'm glad it brought me in because it felt like discovering a hidden gem in Bowling Green. The atmosphere inside is amazing; cozy, stylish, and definitely a great spot for photos. Since it's close to WKU, there were lots of students and staff studying and working, which gave the place a really nice local energy. The woman taking our coffee order was incredibly kind and friendly. She was so genuinely thankful when I left a tip, which made the experience feel even warmer. Great coffee, great vibe, and a perfect little stop while exploring Bowling Green. Highly recommend grabbing a cup here as part of your downtown visit.
