Epic Rail Train…read moremuseum located in Bowling Green, KY at the historic (1925) L&N Depot. We were looking for something to check out while we visited Bowling Green, and trains are always a good idea. The Good: *Admission is $16 ($14 seniors and vets) for the museum and tour or $8 for just the museum. *Some nice displays in the museum of historic rail antiquities. *Friendly staff *Touring the rail cars is always fascinating, and they've done a great job refurbishing and keeping them in good shape. The Meh: *Smallish souvenir shop to pick up a few gifts and/or souvenirs for train lovers. The Ugly: *Touring the rail car in the summer is just a downright awful experience. I mean, they try their best to cool off the trains with AC, but it's like spitting into the wind. I was schvitzing more than a turkey in November. TLDR: Not the best train museum I've ever visited--and I've visited a LOT--but it was a good way to kill a few hours and didn't break the bank.

Every dish is perfect, and the French Onion soup may be the best I have ever tasted. The pork cracklings are better than ever, the egg roll is unique and flavorful with the ginger sauce; wow. The tender loin you could cut with a fork, and the potatoes were perfect. The flavors danced like a lullaby on the tip of my tongue. The burger was fantastic. If I could give them a 10, I would. If you want a meal deal, this is not the place. The restored building is done perfectly. The art is impeccable. The vibe is luxurious, but not pompous. This ranks at the top with Tony's--two of the best places in Bowling Green. This one, because of history and the architecture, comes out on top.

The entire lobby area is saturated with a sickening air freshener…read more The staff accosted me in the parking lot and then refused to change my room when the first one reeked; after arguing that they must have another available room, I believe she must've taken a room that had bed bugs or mites out of inventory, because I itched all night and have sores everywhere; it was also not fun sleeping in bedding that smells like it was handled by a heavy smoker who wears a lot of perfume. I'll never stay here again. And seriously, what is with all the artificial perfume in the lobby and hallways? If you're trying to cover up smells, try cleaning! Try baking soda! Try airing it out! You can't just spray five cans of air freshener at it every day! I shudder to think what it's doing to the staff's endocrine systems...

This was the first time I've stayed in a Candlewood Suites Hotel. I knew it was billed as an…read moreextended stay hotel and usually avoided them since my hotel stays are typically only 1 or 2 nights. Candlewood and Holiday Inn Express are both parts of the IHG Hotel group which means they share the same loyalty program. We were looking for a hotel in the Bowling Green, KY area and were hoping to use reward points. That's when we found the Candlewood Suites. Being an extended stay hotel means that all of the rooms had a fully equipped small kitchenette with a small cooktop, a full-size refrigerator, microwave pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc. In addition, there are other small appliances (blenders, slow cookers, etc.) available for loan in the lobby. Also available for loan are a variety of DVRs and board games. There is also a free laundry available for guest use. A small convenience store in the lobby offers a iimited selection of frozen and other microwavable meals plus snacks and beverages. The room was spacious and very comfortable with a large desk/table and a very comfy lounge chair. The hotel was very clean, very quiet and the staff was very friendly. Don't let the idea of "extended stay" make you avoid certain hotels. This was a very nice place for a 1-night stay.

It's the girl from the front desk(Name starts with a C ) wanting to know if I am leaving or paying for Saturday night. Informed her I had already paid. Proceeds to argue with me.

Talk to the manager and she could have cared less. The next morning it's the same person at the front desk and of course she doesn't apologize for her being so awful to me or pounding on my door. So I would never recommend staying here. The rudest front desk and manager you will ever come across. Stay anywhere but here

Anna's Is the Foundation for My Love of Food…read more I first walked into Anna's in 2007 at the old location on Three Springs Rd. I was a 21 y/o small-town Kentucky kid whose culinary range extended to chicken tenders and French fries. I had no real curiosity about other cultures through food. I wasn't looking for adventure. I just wanted dinner. Then I took my first real date there. We ordered the lamb gyro, saganaki, and tzatziki. I still remember that saganaki arriving and the server screaming "OPA!", as it hit the table. That meal changed something in me. It was my first true cultural food experience, and it expanded my imagination in a way I didn't even understand at the time. From that point on, I went almost weekly. Everything Anna touches is gold. There is intention in the flavors, pride in the execution, and warmth in the experience. One night around 2010, I was the only customer in the restaurant. Vilson was serving me. I confidently ordered a White Zinfandel. He laughed and said, "Oh, some sweet tea with a bit of alcohol in it, eh?" Then he brought me a glass of Greek wine on the house instead. That small moment meant more than he probably realized. It was my invitation to GROW. I live in Seattle now. I've become an Elite Yelp reviewer and spend much of my time exploring restaurants, chefs, and cuisines from all around the world. I seek out bold flavors. I travel for food. I write about it constantly. And yet- twice a year, every year, when I return home to Kentucky, there is one place I always make sure to visit: Anna's. Always. Because this is where it started. If you read my Yelp bio, you'll see that saganaki from Anna's has been listed as my "last meal" choice since the day I created my account. That isn't nostalgia. That's impact. Anna and Vilson didn't just open a restaurant. They ignited a lifelong passion in a 21-year-old country boy who didn't know what he was missing. Some restaurants feed you. A few change you. Anna's changed me. Forever grateful.

Anna's is a great dining experience in downtown Bowling Green. The restaurant is inside a renovated…read morechurch, so it was fun to see stained glass windows from the bar. I came here with a group, and I had the Vegetarian Briamai, which can also be made vegan if you ask them to leave off the feta. We also had an order of pita and tzatziki for an appetizer, and that hit the spot. While we didn't order the Saganaki flaming cheese, we saw it come out for another table, and it's quite a show- even if I can't attest to the taste. The only reason for my four stars instead of five is that the menu the server hands you is not complete, so be sure to check out the online menu to see ALL of the offerings. They do have more seafood and vegetarian offerings than what the paper menu shows, and you can also view photos and reviews of the food on their website/online menu. One of the reviews from 2024 mentioned the price differences, and this is still true in 2026. The prices on the website and in real life are a bit more expensive than the menus, so if you want the true cost of your meal, pay attention to the online menu. Anna's is a great choice for dinner; all of us enjoyed our food and found something we liked, from meat eaters to vegans. Plus, the sensory experience of being in a renovated church is nice and not something you'd expect in a small town like Bowling Green.
