I'm sorry but we stopped in Cave City for the night and this BBQ joint was right across the street…read morefrom our hotel. We walked over and got seated right away. It smelled great and the food we seen delivered to other tables also looked great. We got a sample platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were over cooked and chewy and the brisket was a lot of fat. The sides were just ok. Maybe it was just an off day for them because I see a lot of great reviews. We stopped in later in the evening so that may be the reason the meats were off. Again, not thrilled with our meal here, but may give them another chance earlier in the day.

My son and I both wanted to try the brisket so he got the platter and I chose the sandwich. I was told they make most of the sides that aren't fried options such as tater tots, which I was happy about. They had the classic barbecue sauce on the table as well as a spicy option. Both were equally delicious. My sandwich came on Texas toast, which is a fave. The portions were a great value as they do not skimp! The fried potatoes are made in house and they were delicious. Even though they don't make the onion rings in house they were also quite good. My one disappointment was, they don't make the majority of their desserts. And the menu states that their daughter-in-law Kayle makes different desserts daily and they didn't have that. They were actually out of several desserts, which was disappointing. Since the only ones they had were not ones made in house I chose to not get one. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away I guess I'll have to give it another shot for the dessert option next time around. Overall, the place was terrific and the folks were friendly. They have a salad bar in the middle of the floor, which is a nice touch. They have a very laid-back atmosphere and it is definitely family friendly. And you definitely get good size portions for the money.

I'm on the fence between 3* and 4* here. If it were in a region of the country were the food is…read moregenerally edible, I'd give 3*, but they do better by comparison, and the vegetables are fresh... Anyhow, it's white people taco night food. Steak fajitas were fine--steak was underseasoned and a bit chewy, but peppers, guac, and pico were relatively fresh. Tortillas were soft, rice and beans were lukewarm and nothing special. Food came out extremely fast, and I appreciated the big portions after a long day of hiking. Deep fried ice cream wasn't my favorite but maybe it's just not my thing.

After a day exploring Kentucky Down Under, we hit up El Mazatlan for a late lunch. It was a…read morebeautiful day outside, so we chose to eat on the patio. There was a covered portion, but we stayed in the sun to stay warm in the cool spring air. The server sat us immediately and brought us complimentary fresh chips and salsa. We were starving, so we gobbled them up while flipping through the extensive menu. The servers brought us extra chips and salsa while we waited for our food and drinks. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and two steak tacos off the à la carte lunch menu (until 3pm daily). There was a $0.99 upcharge each for grilled vs shredded chicken and carne asada vs ground beef, and it was totally worth it. My daughter ordered two grilled chicken quesadillas as well. And our friends ordered beef nachos and a fajita platter. All of it was delicious, with large portions. I had a couple of house margaritas, which were tasty and a steal at just $5.50 each. My only complaints were that the queso dip was rather small and not worth the $5, and (like most places) they charge way too much for a soda ($3.25). The service was excellent. Our server Juan was friendly and very attentive, and several others checked in on us throughout our meal to ensure we were taken care. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Cave City, Hidden River Cave, or Kentucky Down Under.

This place is such a hidden gem. Tucked away off the beaten path, it has that cozy, "you almost…read moredon't want to tell anyone about it" kind of charm. The space is definitely on the smaller side, which adds to the intimate feel, but I can only imagine it gets pretty tight during peak hours--especially since they don't take reservations. That said, everything else more than makes up for it. The service was genuinely excellent--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. And the food? Absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. If you're thinking about going, I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to avoid the rush. It's a small spot, but one that delivers a big experience.

The menu is extensive so it took a minute for us to order. Everyone had water to drink. Our server brought us some fresh yeast rolls that were hot and tasty. We had the fried green tomatoes appetizer for the table. They were excellent served with sour cream and horseradish and ranch that we had to ask for additionally. Everyone ordered something different. Orders included: 1. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, and cole slaw. I only tried their cole slaw which leans more to a vinegar base and I prefer a sweeter slaw. There were 4 pieces of chicken. 2. Meatloaf with mashed potato and gravy and cornbread. Cornbread was a bit dry, meatloaf was ok. 3. Mushroom and bacon smothered chicken, onion rings and cornbread. Person said the chicken was a bit dry, the mushrooms and bacon saved the dish. Onion rings were good, crispy and hot. 4. Chicken and dumplings with cornbread. Folks that tasted them said they make better at home, nothing special. 5. Rueben sandwich with corn pudding. Sandwich was just ok. Bread was too thick for my taste, beef was tender. Corn pudding was excellent, hot, creamy. Service was good, resturant quaint, street parking. The train rolling by, blowing the whistle while we ate was a nice touch, although it rattled the building. After we ate, got to go containers and paid we shopped at the adjacent and across the street shops to the resturant. That was fun. After shopping we headed back to the restaurant for coffee and dessert. Again each of us had a different dessert item which included: coconut cream pie, butterscotch pie, derby pie, chocolate sundae cake and the house specially, butter cream pie. All were pretty good. We all liked the house speciality pie, it was super sweet, creamy with a good crust. Coconut pie was a favorite as was the chocolate sundae cake. The derby pie was way too chocolatey for most of us. It is a cute little little resturant with a homey feel that will take you back in time. One of those places where you should try but then say, did that, don't necessarily need to revisit.

My husband had to make an unscheduled, quick trip to Bowling Green this week for work. I decided to travel with him. I will never skip a trip to Bowling Green again, just so I can go back to this bakery. I have been gluten-free for 13 years and have tried gluten-free baked products all over the country from Washington state to Florida. Awaken Bakery has absolutely broken the code on gluten-free bread and desserts. My husband does not eat gluten-free unless he takes a bite of something I have. Yesterday, he tried a blueberry scone, shared a toasty sandwich with me, shared a sausage biscuit with me, and also got a lemon cake cup. He said everything he ate, he would not ever have been able to tell was gluten-free and was absolutely delicious. Oh, he also shared my cinnamon roll with me. We devoured that thing in less time than it took to actually order and pay for it! That cinnamon roll was the BEST cinnamon roll I have ever had in my life, gluten-free or not! I also got a mini cupcake sampler that had wedding cake, carrot cake, and a chocolate version that I have not tried yet. Having traveled the country to eat, lol, I can tell you that this Awaken Bakery is one place that I will absolutely put on my list to travel back to any opportunity I have. I wish I hadn't been starving and had taken the time to take photos of their sweet little bake shop and all of our food before we started devouring it, but I did manage to grab a photo of the cupcake sampler, minus one cupcake, the French toast, cup, and the lemon cake cup. Everything was so delicious that I even bought a hat and T-shirt and ball cap from them. I am including a photo of that. The little girl that took our order was super sweet and very knowledgeable. Everyone there was incredibly friendly, and everything we have tried or devoured, was absolutely delicious! Seriously, gluten-free or not, go visit Awaken Bakery!

This is quite possibly the best restaurant to ever exist in Stanford…read more I grew up in Stanford, I can tell you that in the 1980's and 1990's that local restaurants here were nothing but no-name greasy spoon diners selling nothing but fairly generic "burger and fries" and breakfast food, and it was usually pretty lousy. I was back in the town I grew up in a couple of weeks ago, and heard there was a really nice cafe in Stanford now called the Bluebird, so I sought it out. I was amazed. This definitely is more like a place I would expect in Lexington or Louisville. The food is genuinely good. Iced coffee and espresso, hot browns, and lots of other food that was never in Stanford when I was growing up there as a kid. I know that Stanford went wet a few years ago in a referendum, but it's still surreal to see margaritas and other mixed drinks on the menu in a place in Stanford. The ambiance was friendly and welcoming, and struck a nice balance between small town friendly. I had a patty melt, which was probably the best meal I'd ever had in a restaurant in Stanford in my entire life. I will definitely be back the next time I come back to my old hometown.

UPDATE: Stopped in again and grabbed t-bones (found a pack that was closer to porterhouse than t-bone with bigger tenderloin portion). Reasonable size packs with two steaks between $10 and $15. On the return visit - also saw the last chance markdown cart up front with candy that was past their best by dates, all under a $1. Grabbed some Sweet Tart ropes and Crunch bar. UPDATE: It's close to where we're staying so we popped back in as we decided to cook again. This time beef at $5/lb for pot roast and a reload on snacks and soda. Decided on this option over $8/lb ribeyes and $1.79 pork chops (and even cheaper drumsticks).

On Dec. 22, I did my shopping and went up to Lane 4 because the light was on. Suddenly, I hear the…read morecashier in Lane 3 call out to me: "Get over here!" in a very rude tone. I went to Lane 3 and said I thought Lane 4 was open because the light was on. The cashier, Lillian, snapped back: "Yeah, I dunno where she is." I saw signs for a free turkey giveaway and since I had already put my name in, I wonder when the drawing would be held. I asked Lillian, who said with an attitude: "I don't have a clue." Then she called over, loudly, to the cashier on Lane 3 (who had returned) and asked if they had any slips for the turkey drawing. I explained I had already put my name in and Lillian looked rather perturbed, as if why I was asking about it if I'd already put my name in. I paid for my things and left. I got to where the shopping baskets are by the entrance and I hear Lillian shout after me that: "I think we have 2 or 3 more turkeys left!" I'm not accustomed to being yelled at so I just ignored her. I had just started going back to this particular Save-A-Lot store after it was remodeled and I was told they no longer played country music. I started coming back in the beginning of December with my mom who wanted to check out the store as well. We both loved the store, but both found Lillian quite rude. The first time we went, my mom and I were in the back of the store, in the meat department, and we heard Lillian shout from the front of the store: "It's spittin' snow!" I mentioned to my mom how glad I was not to have a sleeping child with me. Lillian might have been enthused about some flurries, but she should learn some self-discipline. When my mom and I were checking out, Lillian yelled at my mom that "the grocery baskets don't go there!" (My mom was in the process of putting hers on the floor under the beginning of the conveyer belt like most stores let you put them.) As Lillian checked us out, I mentioned to my mom how happy I was that they got rid of the country music and were playing something better. Lillian (who I was not talking to,) chimed in with: "Really? I wish they'd play somethin' else." My mom and I both found Lillian not only nosey, but rude, disrespectful and unprofessional. When I got back home from a solo-trip to Save-a lot on the morning of Dec. 22, I called and spoke to the store manager about Lillian's behavior. I told her about Lillian ordering me to "Get over here!" and how Lillian didn't have a clue about the turkey contest despite working there, and some of Lillian's other behavior seen by my mom and I. The manager, a young lady, seemed very nice and mentioned she had been manager of the store for only two months thus far. The manager told me that she had gotten complaints about Lillian's behavior in the past, especially about her yelling at people. The manager also mentioned that many of their customers were used to Lillian. I told the manager that just because customers were used to Lillian's behavior that doesn't make it right. I had been in retail for over 30 years and how Lillian's behavior was inexcusable. The manager said they had several visiting managers in the store that day and that they would all speak to Lillian about her behavior. I went into the Cave City Save-a lot on Dec. 28th, not expecting to see Lillian ever again. There was another cashier who checked me out and I inquired about Lillian. The cashier told me that Lillian had requested the day off. I was shocked that the manager hadn't let Lillian go, especially since she told me that Lillian had other complaints about her. And they were playing country again in the store, leading me to believe they started playing it again to keep Lillian happy. I'll be going to another Save-a-lot....
