For a weekend getaway in the Natural Bridge region, what a fantastic find! The food is delicious and the service friendly, but it is unfortunate to learn that alcohol is not served here on Sundays because the cocktail menu is so good! So, something t...

It's a cafeteria-style restaurant where you wait in line, choose what you want, place your order, and then sit down with a waitress, just like at a typical steakhouse. The food is amazing, and the service is excellent.

The bar is food-loving, and the restaurant is beer-loving. There are large burgers, the freshest sushi in town, and more than 20 craft beers available on tap. Drake's is a laid-back, enjoyable place to go for lunch, dinner, and late-night drinks. You...

Billy Rays is a sort of famous landmark! Previously, it had a restaurant, pool room, and arcade, but now it only has the restaurant. The best of Kentucky cuisine is still available! I'm willing to wager that some of their recipe's date back at least ...
