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.

First, I love a great BBQ joint that also offers tasty sides, which is hard to come by back home in…read moreNKy. 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.

This is a cute little coffee and creamery in Cave City. I picked up dinner from Cracker Barrel and…read morewalked over to Cave City Creamery afterwards to get some ice cream for dessert.

The staff is super friendly and jumped up to assist me when I walked in. It smells amazing when you enter the door like smoked meats. I ordered their pork shoulder special with baked beans. It was so flavorful and so much food. There was enough leftover to make another meal. It was hard to stop eating because it was so yummy. Another couple walked up while I was eating and I was telling them how good the food was. They said they knew and eat there at least once a week. I can see why! They are pet friendly and allow dogs oustide under the patio area. This was a delightful spot where the staff makes you feel like you're at home and the food is absolutely mouth watering.

Let me start by saying the staff was amazing and the service was great. It's a super cute dive…read morespot. The baked beans were out of this world. But otherwise, sadly disappointing. I was super excited to try the hot dogs that were shown in the photos, so I was surprised to arrive to find just a regular hot dog and a chili cheese dog on the menu. We ordered a smoked sausage, a chili cheese dog, potato salad and baked beans. Everything came out quickly, but the bagged shredded cheese on the chili cheese dog was not even remotely melted, so it made the whole hot dog cold. The smoked sausage was literally a regular piece of sausage that looked like it came out of grocery store, with nothing on it. The potato salad was pretty standard. The only saving grace was the baked beans...I wish I had just gotten a tub of those to eat! Sweet, savory, lots of bacon, onions, peppers. Thankfully the price was very reasonable because otherwise I would have felt cheated. So buyers beware...don't follow the pictures, they don't have the majority of those items.

Listen. What a wild place. We were in town on a mini vacation and this place BLEW ME AWAY... for…read moresome reasons you could expect. And others you wouldn't. Let's start with the expected: chicken fried chicken was amazing. The loaded fry appetizer also amazing. Sides were great. Mac and cheese and green beans both well above average to me. The waitresses were all so helpful and sweet. But let's talk about the other amazing part. This place feels right out of a post apocalyptic movie! If you've ever wanted to feel "out of this world" or in a community fenced off from the zombie apocalypse and struggling to make you feel some normalcy in your life... THIS IS THE PLACE. My goodness I loved it. An old couple in the corner was playing some Garth Brooks covers to set the mood. A "straight from the 80s arcade room" in the back had some flashing lights shine through the doorway into the main dining room. Also... this place was packed. The dusty parking lot did not have a single spot for us open and we had to wait on a parking spot. No wait when we got inside luckily. But back to the post apocalyptic vibe... I really can't explain it much better. The 80s arcade... the wood paneling on the walls. The old toy heavy machinery and trains lining the walls. The smell of the food thickening the air. Even the staff... all unique as can be!!! Don't forget the overstock Christmas plates they pulled out for us to use!!! Highly recommend this place for the food... but if you've ever wanted to experience what a restaurant would be like after the zombies take over... Give yourself a treat and come here!!!

The staff was super friendly, even if they don't know what a card catalog or the Dewey Decimal system is. There were couches and tables and vast variety of seating options. They have a super cute "shop" area. Left with some fun snarky stickers too. I had a cinnamon roll latte and it was amazing. I asked for mine with no maple and they happily obliged me. I needed protein so I had the Trailblazer wrap that had chicken in it. It was packed full of a delicious combination of flavors and sauced with the perfect amount of sriracha mayo. It came with a healthy portion of chips. I forgot to take a pic until I had eaten half. It was sooo good. We asked the staff for recommendations for other good places to eat in the area. They were super helpful.
