The Lighthouse Restaurant in Edmonton, Kentucky, shines as a true celebration of Southern comfort,…read moreand nowhere is that more evident than in its unforgettable county ham and eggs. We stopped in here by chance, we had seen reviews in Kentucky Living and thought we would give it a try. From the moment the plate arrives, it's clear this is not just breakfast--it's heritage served hot. The county ham is the undeniable star: salt-cured, deeply flavorful, and expertly cooked so that each bite balances its robust savoriness with just enough tenderness. This is authentic Kentucky country ham--bold, unapologetic, and rich with tradition--prepared the way it should be, not watered down for convenience but honored for its character. Paired alongside are perfectly cooked eggs, done to order with a care that speaks volumes. Whether you prefer them fried with golden, lacy edges or softly scrambled, they provide the ideal counterpoint to the ham's intensity--creamy, fresh, and comforting. Together, the combination is simple, honest, and profoundly satisfying, the kind of meal that reminds you why classic breakfasts endure. What elevates The Lighthouse beyond just good food is the sense of place it delivers. This is a restaurant that understands its roots and proudly serves the flavors of the region without pretense. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the kind where locals linger over coffee and visitors immediately feel at home. Every bite of that county ham feels like a quiet nod to generations of Kentucky kitchens that perfected it long before it became a menu item. In a world of overcomplicated brunches, The Lighthouse stands tall by doing one thing exceptionally well: serving real food, made right. If you're in Edmonton, missing the county ham and eggs here would be nothing short of a culinary oversight. you are looking for comfort food this is the place to eat. Meals feels as though your home with your family. The place offers large portions, family style dinning and a welcoming environment. Don't forget the pie at the end. The pie is the cherry on top!

I had to wait an additional 10 minutes. I also expected to be able to go to the "pickup window" instead of having to wait at the "order window" behind the line of people who had not ordered their food yet. I was told I had to wait at the order window because they only had one credit card machine and it was at that window. I felt that defeated the purpose of calling my order in ahead of time. By the time I received my food, it was Luke warm. My burger was swimming in mayo and mustard and lacked the extra pickles that were requested. The beef was of lesser quality than what I would purchase and cook at home. I had also ordered a taco salad which was extremely bland. It was a few chips, some bland taco meat, a ton of lettuce, minimal cheese and minimal tomatoes. It had a small amount of sour cream but no salsa. Overall disappointing. Prices were too high for lack of quality and service.

I only had ice cream, but it was exactly what I needed after spending time exploring the museum. The staff were friendly, and I really enjoyed the unique seating area that felt warm and cozy, almost like relaxing in someone's home. The cafe was quite busy when I visited, which says a lot about how popular it is with both locals and visitors. If you're in Hodgenville and looking for a refreshing treat, whether it's ice cream, a smoothie, or one of their other desserts, I would definitely recommend stopping by. It was a nice little break that helped recharge us before continuing our day.

I'm in Gravel Switch, KY visiting family to celebrate our Christmas and decided to find out more…read moreabout how Penn's Store is open or closed these days, and what they sell and such. So, for fellow Yelper's, this is about as clear cut as yer' gonna git it. Penn's Sore is not, let me repeat "NOT" just in Kentucky, it's in BFE, KY. It is totally not worth your drive from out of town to visit, and especially not to complain about the hours they keep. Yes, this store has been in business for 176 years (true), but you will be lucky if you find the place open even if the hours do say 1-5 pm on Saturday and Sunday. When they are open, you may get lucky and find a candy bar to purchase, but there is mostly art work, Christmas ornaments, cards, etc. They hold car shows and the like, plus what I'd consider called Pickin' on the Porch, or different bands playing outside and bringing the community together. Which are advertised locally, and occasionally on their FB page. Penn's Store is most definitely a landmark, and the fine folks of Gravel Switch (all 11 of them) are flattered by it. Give the Penn's a call next time you're passing through if you're wanting to stop in. Otherwise, it's a cute little wooden shack, and there's always a cat or two or three running around, and you can see the outside of the building. If no one answers, guess what? I'll bet you can. You're a super-genius! You guessed correctly. No one is there, and they aren't open.

We travelled 4 hours to visit this store. We stayed three nights in a nearby town. On Saturday…read moremorning, they posted to their Facebook inviting people to come out and visit them at the store that day. So we drove out to the store on Saturday. Their listed hours are 11AM-6PM. They are "country hours". We got to the store at 11AM. The store was not open yet. That was okay. There was a nearby geocache in their parking lot we were going to check out. Two other cars had come and gone. One of those cars was from Texas. They left disappointed. We gave up and left the store at 12 PM. While back at the hotel, I called the store 3 times. No answer. I emailed the store on Facebook. No answer. We drove four hours for this. So we decided to drive out one more time. The second time, we arrived at the store around 3:45PM. The store was still not open. Again, two more cars had come and gone. At 4PM, we had given up and went back to the hotel. I understand these hours were "country hours". But because of the Facebook post, that I have attached, I expected the store to be open at some point during the day. It took a lot to keep entertained in this small town area. This was supposed to be the highlight of our trip. We spent a total of an hour and 43 minutes driving to/from a store that was never open when they advertised they would be.

Whether you're just swinging by for a quick caffeine fix, or you want to sit and enjoy some great baked goods or brunch, Harden is the best. Friendly, fresh food, premium coffee.
