    They serve a big cup of coffee here!
    Mary Lou S.

    A.MAZ.ING food, service and prices. We discovered this great breakfast place while in Bowling Green for a week. We ended up having breakfast there three times! When you walk in, you can tell it's a favorite for the locals. It's decorated kind of cute and quirky. The staff and servers are very nice. Yummy biscuits and gravy. Everything we ordered on our visits was really good. Pay at the counter on your way out.

    Friendly staff. Great portions. Happy customers. Our server was excellent. She was very helpful as this was our first visit here. The food was outstanding. We will definitely be back.

    Catfish Special with 3 sides (Mashed Potatoes, Mac n Cheese, Cream Corn) and cornbread - Fish Fridays
    Julia G.

    I grew up in BG but this is my first time visiting Teresa's and certainly not my last! I can confidently say it's moved to the top of my list for places to eat in BG. It's a large space with plenty of seating even when the parking lot is packed. We were seated immediately and the service was fast and friendly! Each day has a different special on the board, which is also posted on their Facebook page. Breakfast is all day. I came on Fish Friday, with the choice of catfish or fried shrimp. I went with the catfish and it was some of the best I've had!! The breading was the best part - a little sweet and a little salty. For sides I got mashed potatoes with gravy (delicious), mac n cheese (perfectly cheesy), and the creamed corn (hallelujah)! You also get a choice of a roll, cornbread, or hushpuppies and I got the cornbread. Top it all off with unlimited refills of sweet tea and some chocolate pie to go and it's the perfect Southern home-cooked meal!! The catfish special was $9.95 and the slice of pie was $3. For $13 it's all you can eat catfish! Everyone was in a great mood and so happy and welcoming. This is THE spot to take your out of town friends to show them true Southern cooking and hospitality (or keep it to yourself for days when you want a special meal). Thank you so much, Teresa's!! We will be back!

    Roast Beef Manhattan

    This is a fantastic place. It was PACKED for lunch and I see why. The Roast Beef Manhattan was good, there was a lot of beef.

    Pancake Platter, Teresa's Breakfast Special
    Laura M.

    We were a little confused when we came in (I think we walked in the back door). But this place is FANTASTIC. The prices can't be beat. We got biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs, 6 slices of bacon, hash browns, and 2 pancakes for $12. Their lunch menu looks great too. Our drinks were never less than half empty and our dirty dishes were cleared as soon as we were finished with them. I love it here. I wish I lived nearby because this place would be a regular spot for me!

    Teresa's Breakfast
    Chris R.

    Traditional breakfast that was delicious. The staff works well together to make sure you're taken care of, with fresh coffee and each order brought to the table just as it was ordered. And their local sausage was great and enjoyed by the locals! Definitely worth a try if you are in the Bowling Green area.

    They now have a homemade BBQ, absolute worst I have ever tasted. Great spot for breakfast, but stay away from anything else.

    Great local spot for breakfast and lunch. Nothing fancy, just tasty food at a good price. Try the local Kirby and Poe sausage they serve.

    100% would recommend this restaurant!!!!…read more we arrived right at 5pm when they open back up for the day. firstly the atmosphere and customer service is top tier. everyone is super attentive and welcoming. we started off with mixed drinks, with a very wide selection, each drink we tried was perfectly mixed and balanced. we definitely would recommend the french martini and vette city. as for appetizers, we tried the fried pickles and jalapeños. the batter was light but crunchy and flavorful and the house made ranch paired perfectly with them. main courses i would 1000% recommend the chicken rosa. such a delicious dish with a creamy mash potatoes side and perfectly seasoned and sautéed fresh vegetable side. the lemon caper sauce paired with the chicken was stunning. chicken was cooked perfectly and still very juicy. the basil pasta dish was al dente with a rich, herby, and creamy sauce. the crème brûlée was the most delicious dessert to end the meal with a perfectly crunchy sugar top not too charred and the crème part was flavored very nicely with a good vanilla taste. 5/5 WOULD RECOMMEND

It a hard balance when for some. The atmosphere was modern chic with farm house feel. The pour on my wine was subpar along with my dinner portion of salmon. For these reasons, I can't give them a four star or better review.

    We came back to Lisa's Fifth Street Diner, and I'm happy to report our first visit wasn't a fluke!…read moreIf you're looking for good old-fashioned diner food with portions that make you wonder if they're trying to feed you for the rest of the day, this is the place. This time we put both breakfast and lunch to the test. The breakfast came loaded with eggs, crispy hash browns, a serious pile of bacon, biscuits and gravy, plus a blueberry pancake that practically needed its own ZIP code. The biscuits were fluffy, the gravy was creamy and peppered just right, and they definitely weren't stingy with the bacon. We also tried the fried fish with mashed potatoes, baked beans and coleslaw. The fish came out golden and crispy, and the sides were exactly what you'd hope for from a hometown diner simple, hearty comfort food. And here's a little insider tip worth knowing: Fridays are dessert day! If the banana pudding is available, GET IT. Seriously. It is absolutely amazing and worth saving a little room for which is easier said than done with these portions! One thing worth knowing before you go: come hungry! The portions are generous, and this isn't one of those places where you leave wondering what you're going to eat afterward. Just as important as the food, the atmosphere still has that friendly, small-town diner feel we enjoyed the first time. Good food, good portions, friendly people, and no need to dress fancy, just bring an appetite. Our original 5-star review still stands. We'll definitely be back... although next time I may need to fast beforehand!

    What a lucky find while traveling. The staff is so welcoming and we felt like regulars. We ordered…read morebreakfast items (a breakfast burrito and chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy). You'd think your granny was making everything out of her kitchen with the freshest and most local ingredients. The pies and sweets were homemade. We left with slices of blackberry cobbler and chocolate pie. The decision was difficult given all the options. And the prices are incredible. This no frills, all goodness place is one you must try for yourself.

    We've eaten here before and I was disappointed to learn that the owner talked shit about people…read morefrom Kentucky after the fact. We had been avoiding it like the plague since then, because why would I want to give my money to some jerk off who thinks we're "inbreds" (his words, you can look it up). All that said, we were talking to some friends the other day and they said we should try it again because the seafood selection was fantastic, soooooo we decided to hit it up for our anniversary. We got the oysters, and they were some small guys but out waiter Eli (ask for him) said that they were easy coast even though they typically get west coast. It was nice to have a knowledgeable wait staff that was super friendly and happy to talk through anything with us that we had questions on. We got the steak and sea bass and both were great! Creamed spinach and baked potato as sides were a good call as well. We took some friends with us and one of them got the shrimp and grits, and those grits were LEGIT. Soooooo, if you're looking for a fine dining experience in Bowling Green you could really either do Tony's or Hickory & Oak. In my opinion, Hickory & Oak gets my vote because Josh is one of us and I doubt I'll ever read any articles about him ripping off his employees or calling Kentuckians names, but this experience was so good at Tony's that I might swallow my pride here and there and stop in every once in a while for a delicious steak or some really great bourbon and wine.

    We tried this hotel steak and seafood restaurant for the first time and left with mixed feelings…read more The online reservation system had no option to select seating when I booked, nor did anyone mention seating when they called to confirm our reservation, so we requested a booth from the hostess when we arrived. We were told they were fully booked, yet those exact booths sat empty during our entire meal. Fortunately, our waiter was phenomenal--incredibly upbeat, knew the menu well, and provided reasonably quick service despite the high volume of business the evening we visited. While the ambiance strives to match the restaurant's self-representation of being a fine dining steak and seafood establishment, the food fell a bit flat. I ordered the Filet Mignon and my husband ordered the New York strip; both were only a few tallies above what you could get at any decent, everyday restaurant. We also both ordered a lobster tail, which turned out to be a bit tough. I will say they do have the largest shrimp, which we really enjoyed, and their cocktail sauce was quite tasty. Ultimately, management needs to remember that they are still just a hotel restaurant. To truly captivate customers and justify their fine-dining labels and pricing, they need to refine their seating communication, make everyone who walks in feel seen and appreciated, and inject real culinary ambition into the kitchen, taste, and presentation. While we still enjoyed our evening, I personally do not see us returning. With that being said, they seem to still be thriving, which is great. It's just not for us.
