Everything here was kinda mediocre ngl but at least it wasn't awful The waffle fries were decent read more

Funny thing, I lived in the area for about a year and never once ate there. A few years later, family moved into the area and they insisted on coming here for dinner. The wait to be seated was minimal and we were given a run down of the specials in case we missed them on the board when we entered. It was not long after we ordered that our plates arrived piping hot and full of flavor, All I wanted was a vegetable platter and there was definitely enough food on the plate to satisfy my hunger and that's not including the muffins/biscuits that were brought to the table. The desserts here, mostly pies are really quite good. I ended up taking a slice home for later with absolutely no complaints. The best part... the pricing! Everything is well priced! The only bad experience is one of the side items was not available. Sometimes you can't win them all, but I definitely will return! read more

Catfish was outstanding and a very large portion. Onion rings crisp and delicious! Coleslaw as good as my GMA's. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. She offered us additional rolls and corn muffins. Our beverages were topped off several times. Our check for 3 Catfish dinners with 2 sides each. Was under $38.00. The drive to Scottsville KY on our way to purchase garden plants from the Amish Farmers was a trip we make annually. Oh, the restaurant and restroom were very clean! read more

Earl G Dumplin's - The name, address & phone number of the Amish Market. Call ahead for fried pies and sourdough bread. - Sandwiches Near Me - Scottsville, Kentucky

The food is mediocre. Nice salad bar. Staff and management are nice. Prices about what you'd expect. My biggest problem with the place is the building. It's kinda small, hot and crowded. It's not very pleasant and the outside is horrible. I touched the front door handle, sticky and gross. Everyone was crowed at the register which is also the check in and to go order area. It was a mad house. For the same price I'd travel to Bowling Green read more

Food is affordable and salad bar is fabulous. Service is fast and friendly. It's a nice little country restaurant that makes you feel right at home. read more

Good food been there twice. Need other foods not just grilled. That would be nice . Would eat there again.

Lots of fried comfort food. My buddy wanted Chicken Livers. Said they were good, I had the chicken fried chicken, it was good. They were busy and it was a little chaotic, but service was decent. Cheap prices, good sized portions. read more

Earl G Dumplin's - Chicken fried chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - Scottsville, Kentucky

Drove from Nashville, TN after seeing this meat'n three on NPT's Tennessee Crossroads. Huge portions & delicious home cooking. Catfish was piled high, Chicken Livers, Turnip Greens and Cornbread all knocked it out of the park. Former fast food building, modified to seat plenty with good lighting. Our server was Olivia, friendly, attentive and professional. Easy to get to, worth the drive. PRICES are AMAZING read more

The service is iffy. Sometimes they get busy and forget you're even there. There have also been times when I go and it's not even busy but they still get my order wrong. The food isn't that great but it's a family place which is nice. read more

Southern comfort food. Fries here are tasty. Country fried steak is made from scratch. We had no problems with the service. read more

Earl G Dumplin's - Waiting for my country fried steak. - Sandwiches Near Me - Scottsville, Kentucky

I only gave a two because the service was good and the atmosphere was family friendly. The food on the other hand was extremely bland we only ate a few bites, paid and left. read more

Small town diner feel. The fried chicken strips were satisfactory but not outstanding. They were the home cooked typed instead of the pre packaged breaded that you find in chain restaurants. The baked potato was excellent other than the "ball park spicy nacho cheese" slathered on if you order it loaded. The fried okra was standard "out of the frozen bag" fare. Rolls were excellent and cornbread was decent. The super star was the salad bar. It was an additional $4-5, can't remember which. It had all the basics, plus some. It was very well kept and clean. The lettuce was crisp and fresh and all the options were outstanding. Crackers were included with the salad bar. Service was lacking as they appeared understaffed for lunch. We did not have anyone offer refills or check on us during our meal and a lady from the cooking area brought our food. We asked another employee for our check and to go boxes as our waitress did not return after taking our order and bringing our drinks. read more

We were taking the backroads to Tennessee and, thanks to Yelp, we found Earl G. Dumplin's. This is a place to find some good country cooking with things like fried catfish and beans, an assortment of sandwiches, and a salad bar. I was glad to see the veggies. We both had a salad bar, and I ordered a baked potato and the hubby had a club sandwich. Food was good and so was the service. If we come through this way again we would happily visit again. read more

Very good food with excellent customer service! Customers come from many miles away just to enjoy this experience! Locally owned & operated is always a plus! read more

had chicken liver dinner with 3 sides. huge portions of everything and very reasonably priced. the livers were overcooked but the sides were tasty. the homemade chocolate pie was only so so and refrigerated. read more

When in Rome... Honestly, there's not much in this area. So in picking somewhere for lunch, this seemed to be the best option. Pretty sure the building is an old Wendy's. People were friendly, seated quickly, and food was fine. Was anything spectacular? No. Good burger, good chicken tenderloin sandwich, good fries and onion rings. Think family diner, and you're on track. Restroom could have used some cleaning and attention to what I seriously hope was a small leak, but not a deal breaker. read more

Good food for a great price. Had the turkey and stuffing with a couple sides and everything was delicious. I will be returning.

Their Kentucky fried steak was so good. The salad bar had a lot of different options. We went on a Thursday and their was a lot of people but we did not have to wait. Our waiter was super nice and outgoing. It was our first time there and she was very helpful explaining the menu. Definitely a popular restaurant for locals and we see why!! read more

I discovered Dumplin's many years ago while my mother and I were in Scottsville to work on our family genealogy. We were planning to go to another restaurant which ended up being closed so we stopped in to try Dumplin's instead. Since then it's become one of my favorite restaurants! The service is always on point, the prices are great and the food awesome with large portions. The country fried steak is MASSIVE and so tasty, and the catfish plate has so much it's hard to finish. The sides are really good and they have a salad bar also. You simple can't go wrong! Definitely the best place in Scottsville to eat. I'm a huge supporter of locally owned restaurants, especially "Mom & Pop" restaurants. Great food, great prices and great service; they are a dying breed and need our support. read more

Stopped in but only took cash. So we had to pass. I give one star since we couldn't eat and went out of our way to stop here. Who only takes cash these days. They did have a sign that said they take check but it's only for locals . read more

The warm buns were nice, though we didn't care for the corn biscuits very much. The frog legs were good. The breading on the frog legs and catfish was a bit too thick. Apple and greens sides were very good. Sever was very nice. read more

Fantastic meal. Business trip in this quiet country town was brought to life with a little enjoyment of lunch time at Earl G Dumplin's. This is a nice little country restaurant with all the good fix'ns. Although they are known for steaks and fish sandwiches, I knew a cheeseburger was a great choice for a small town grill. Also enjoyed the corn nuggets. Great choices all around. Friendly staff and restrooms available on site. read more

We stayed at an Air BnB after visiting the mammoth caves and decided to come here for dinner after finding a brochure of this restaurant at our AirBNB. Eating here was a very happy experience. So much Good food without spending a fortune was fantastic. We ordered a plate of almost all sea food. Stuffed crab, salmon, shrimp, fish sandwich, fried chicken livers and stuff I can't remember. Everything was cooked well and tasted good. All entrees came with 2 sides. Not all sides were good but then I will still give it a 5 Star because it was easy on my pocket. read more

The young wait staff wants that great tip and sometimes forget to put all your meal in the carry out order. Everyone is usually very nice. They need more seating inside. They also need more shade for dining outside. The food is good but, I wish they had a better menu. read more

let me start off by saying we loved coming there waitresses are all nice,food is good, up until now had no problems but today may 6th Saturday at around 2:45 me and my family (party of 9) was there me and my 2 girls was up at the salad bar when all at once the Manger ( Mike) started cursing and used the word M*****F***** I thought this was a family restaurant. I asked to speak with him and he would not come out of the back, if your man enough to use the words you should be man enough to Apologize. I do not know how he feels about kids hearing them words but I do not want my girls hearing them. WE WILL NOT BE BACK.. read more

Wide variety and great comfort food. Highly recommend, great service and a "down home" atmosphere. Never had a bad experience at Earl Gs'

Very good food and greet environment and service. Everything was clean and very professional.

Never got served, sat 10 minuites with menus we grabbed on the way in desired whT we wanted and waited and waited servers seen us but never came by. Told the ma'am at the front and left they dint care, we won't recommend or be back. If you move here for work like we did it was sad to be treated like that. In total there 15 min and maybe 10 other customers so not to busy Saturday afternoon 2pm read more

Review from 2018: I ate at this restaurant on 7/6/18. They have a huge fly problem. If you can eat with one hand and swat flies with another, this is the place for you. The food is fair at best Ditto on previous 2018 review. Competing with the flies for my food, but I'm not good at swatting and eating so I lost some of my dumplings to the floor. Water and tea taste like toxic chemicals. read more

Great food spot in Scottsville. There aren't too many restaurants in this town to begin with. I dident know what to expect coming here. The group I was with just called this place DUMPLINGS. They described it as good American stick to your ribs type of food. They were right. When you first walk in there is a great special board listing all of the specials for the day. The staff was nice and we were seated promptly. I noticed all over the walls were artifacts and articles about the history of this town. The food was good. I ended up just getting a club sandwich. The girls I was with had the catfish bites and the shrimp. I guess the big thing at dumplings is anything fried. I noticed a lot of people had fried chicken or catfish. I did try some of the shrimp. It was really good. I know what your thinking middle of the country not by a ocean how good can the shrimp be? Let's just say I was impressed and prob will order shrimp my next visit! Overall dumplings is s great place if you like good down home cooking. You will never leave with a empty stomach. I will be back here. read more

Breakfast was very good I had western omelette large and very good came with toast great prices. My daughter had eggs and bacon with biscuits and gravy biscuits very soft and gravy was also good. Service was great always filling our drinks before they even got low. We will be back read more

Very friendly service, and the food is great. The decor is awesome, and it got me hooked on Ms. Dynamite, a famous dog for the town that walks on two legs and smoked a pipe. The more you know! read more

We always enjoy this place every time we stop in Scottsville. I've had the steak, fish, chicken tenders, hamburgers, salmon, and this last time enjoyed the meatloaf! The salad bar is always delicious and the service is always friendly. The tea is especially good! We always look forward to eating here! read more

This is absolutely the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The food was HORRIBLE. We got the catfish which tasted microwaved. Mashed/instant potatoes were HORRIBLE. Do not even try this place. read more

Recently stopped by for lunch. I ordered a hamburger w everything which didn't include mustard as everything it seemed. It was only an average bgr. Had onion rings as my side and again just average. So in conclusion I can't really recommend this place. Not a place I'd go out of my way to eat at again. Guess it depends on what ur standard is for great food. Average is not what I look for. read more

"We apologize if the steak is bigger than the plate" This is literally written in the menu next to the country fried steak. And it was delicious! 1st time trying this place and we will definitely be going back! Yummo! read more

Mike has the best food in Scottsville. It's my Mother in law's favorite place and we try to stop by when we come to visit. She loves the catfish but honestly have never had a bad meal there. Great food and service. Easy place to recommend read more

Came to visit the Amish market but was starving so stopped in for a bite. Had the special "Prime Rib". It was delicious and the service was great. Home made everything from hand cut prime rib to fresh pie! Very affordable! read more

No stars. The place is a dump. There's stains on the ceiling. Looks like it's never been cleaned. Can't image what the kitchen looks like.

Our son heard of this place where he works in Bowling Green. Upon arriving we wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. Entering the place around 4pm, the lot was a little more than half filled. Most of the customers were seniors. There were lots of old as in old photographs of the area. We were seated and greeted by a wonderful waitress with a great personality. Our daughter got th3 salad bar saying it was good, but wished it had something other than iceberg lettuce. My wife had a vegetarian style dinner of 4 side items which she loved. Our son-in-law had chicken livers (rare in restaurants) and they were the best he'd ever had. I had the BBQ chicken with Cole slaw and cottage cheese. The slaw was grand, but the chicken was super! Tender and some of the best BBQ sauce I've ever had. We will be back even though it was a bit of a drive. read more
