Cracker Barrel

Reviewed By timothys392

We stopped to eat dinner on Friday after Thanksgiving and they consider this as Thanksgiving and have a very limited menu for dinner. The menu is mostly breakfast with 6 dinner options which are none that I eat when I am here. No postings on door to inform customers of this fact.

J-Mack Bbq

Reviewed By Harry R

I live in Kansas City and through work am lucky enough to travel throughout the US. I have a lot of customers in Texas, Memphis and throughout the southwest. I also have an office in the Carolina's, so I get plenty of opportunities to eat great BBQ. THE BRISKET AT J-MACK WOULD STAND UP ANYWHERE. Literally among the best I've ever had.The folks working there were super friendly, and believe they said that the young man (had just turned 5) was the owner's son (grandson?). Very first class people.My only suggestion would be to upgrade your side items. My beans were fine, but seems like a distant afterthought compared to the brisket. The seasoned chips were too salty. Still an excellent experience though. My coworker said the ribs were awesome too.If you are going to be driving by, you will do yourself a disservice by not stopping. I've got a new customer in the area and will definitely be back!

Harbor Lights Restaurant at Kentucky Dam

Reviewed By Tracy S

If you like a good salad bar, you won't be disappointed! All the veggies plus several prepared salads as well. And if you get the hot bar, you'd better hope they have their homemade mashed potatoes on it, because you won't find any like them anywhere else! And if you're a fan of bison (or even if you're not), you won't want to miss the bison chili. If you want the hot bar, don't arrive before 5 p.m. Otherwise menu and and salad bar are available.

Pokey's Cafe

Reviewed By MokoPeoria_IL

We visited Pokey's for Breakfast as we heard they had delicious biscuits and gravy. Everyone enjoyed that dish. I ordered eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns and could not believe the portion size. I needed assistance with finishing it. The owner was very friendly and personable. This is a small place, but well worth breakfast. Not sure they serve lunch so go early. You won't be disappointed...and it is very economical too.

Dockers

Seasonal restaurant, located within Green Turtle Bay Resort with a spectacular view of the harbor. Casual dining inside or outdoor seating on our front and back porches. Featuring Breakfast & Brunch menu items.

Reviewed By nccarr

Small place but good food. Hours are limited (they close at 2pm). I would try to show up sooner as the service seemed a little slower as closing time approached.Thank you for the review. Docker's does close at 2pm during the off season and 3pm during the peak season. We have other restaurants on the resort that cater to our dinner crowds, as Docker's specifies to breakfast & lunch!

My friend took me to lunch here when I was visiting her. We sat at a table outside and over looked the lake. It was really beautiful and very peaceful. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. I definitely recommend this place for lunch. It was great. Hey Lynda. We're so glad that you and your friend came out to visit us during lunch. The Chicken Salad Sandwich is a new addition to our lunch menu. You would enjoy the wrap as well. We hope that you come back to visit with us again soon. Thanks Lynda!

Bill's Restaurant

Reviewed By 599deannal

We enjoyed this restaurant. The food was good and service was great. The young people serving were super polite. I felt bad for them as they were wearing costume type uniforms clearly meant for fall or winter. It was 100 degrees and the a/c in the building was clearly struggling. If you order the prime rib and don't like gravy, tell them to leave it off. The prime rib was good, but we were expecting au jus. The pork chops were phenomenally thick and delicious. Desserts are a star at Bill's.

Lite Side Cafe & Bakery

Fresh Foods; Breakfast & Lunch. Open from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Wednesday thru Sunday. They have THE BEST home made LOW FAT muffins I've ever tasted. You can order their muffins to be shipped anywhere as well. Delightful and moist...you cannot tell they are low

This is a very small restaurant and bakery in Grand Rivers, Ky. We wanted something besides national chains and we lucked out finding this place. We all got the breakfast special which consisted of breakfast casserole, a slice of quiche and fresh fruit. The quiche was the best I have every had anywhere, very soft and flavorful custard, not rubbery like most quiche you get in a restaurant. The muffins were fantastic too. I don't know how they can make those extra large muffins only 200 calories each, but that's what they claim. We all got different flavors and shared a little of each with each other. We also took a bag of muffins home with us. Stop by next time you visit the Land Between the Lakes.

Knoth's Bar-B-Que

Reviewed By T4571TKericm

Driving backroads from St. Louis to Huntsville, with my wife, Googled BBQ along the way, found this absolute gem.Ordered two plates of beef and a plate of pork, slaw, nothing else. Unsweet iced tea, which caused the other patrons to stare at us suspiciously.Everyone in this place was somehow related, or knew each other, or was introducing themselves and asking how they were related, or if maybe they knew each other somehow. Very friendly joint, waitress was great. Listening to the local color was almost as enjoyable as the meat.They have two sauces on the table, one a little mustardy, the other darker, with a little kick, never tasted anything like it, finally decided primary flavor was black pepper.The slaw was also unique, also mustardy, but just slightly so, not overpowering.NOTE: This place is cash only. There's a Dollar Store across the street where you can get cash back for $1.50.If you're traveling on I-24, plan your day so you can stop here for lunch. You will not be disappointed.

We went to pattis because of reviews. It was rainy so not that enjoyable. The hamburger was like frozen patties. You order at food coach and sit in tent. I never went before fire, sounds like it was great. I would wait to go back when they open, looks like it will be a while Thank you for Visiting. The fire was heartbreaking and we decided to Remain open so our wonderful employees would be able to stay with us and not lose their job. The opening of the food trailer and the heatrd tent. to dine ihas been an amazing success for us this summer as we struggle through the hardest year we’ve ever had. We look forward to our future and know that our faithful customers that have enjoyed us being open this summer will continue to make memories with us at the settlement
