    Boneless Buffalo chicken and fries
    Cary M.

    Very nice building and decor. 80's theme is very well done. TVs are showing 80s sitcoms and cartoons. They have some vintage arcade games that entertain children while waiting for food. The menu is well rounded with lots of options. I chose boneless Buffalo strips and fries. Very tasty with perfect amount of heat for me. Out waiter was very courteous and was willing to split a child's meal so 2 young ones could share. We will probably go here monthly in the future.

    I loved this place. 80's music playing and 80's tv shows and movies playing on all the TV's. Stopped in Bowling Green for a late lunch while traveling today. I ordered the Kevin Bacon Jam Burger with fries and Atomic Bomb Sauce and Chipotle Aioli for dipping. The food was excellent and paired well with a White Squirrel Nut Brown beer. I was seated at the bar and had great service.

    Came here for the first time to enjoy my girls day with one of my friends and we got seated right away. The inside was mellow and had cool 80s vibes with toys and posters to a lot of cool movies. The food took pretty long to make but it was pretty good, I ended up getting the Kevin bacon jam burger and dazed & confused dessert. I would come here again to try more items.

    Oreo shake. Ask for extra Oreo if you want this shake.

    Loved it here! From the friendly service, the fun environment, to the delicious food (and we had a party of 5 and all 5 of us were so satisfied!) Atomic Kitchen will be a repeat stop for us! I got the fried green tomato burger and it's changed my life! Side of onion rings = amazingggggg! My husband and son got the Deloran and both had rave reviews! My daughter got the kids cheese burger and my other got the Darth grilled cheese and both ate everything (which all parents know is a miracle in itself). Now, why the 4 Stars instead of 5? Good question- the only reason is because of the milkshakes. We got 2 Oreo and 1 Reese's. The Oreos looked pretty, but hardly had any Oreo. That was pretty disappointing. I honestly wouldn't have called it Oreo, OR I would have thought the business was trying to save money on the lack of Oreo. Desserts might seem like an afterthought, but we take ours pretty seriously lol. Great place! Friendly staff! Delicious burgers! Subpar shakes. Hopefully they make those better next time.

    This is one of those themed restaurants, as such we usually avoid these. Nostalgia lovers will love this place. The place is located in Stadium Park Plaza in Bowling Green, KY Even though it's a themed centered place, we thought we would give it a try, while we were visiting Western Kentucky University. We stared off with appetizers, I had the Pac Man Pickle's, which are deep fried, and they come with the house-made ranch. My wife had Strange Brew, which is the house beer cheese with pretzels and is made from local White Squirrel Breweries Brown Ale. For our main selection; I had the Big Red Rutgers Burger which was created from the 80 Basketball season at WKU. This consist of a double patty with double cheese, bacon, onion rings, and with the house homemade sweet and sassy BBQ sauce, plus all the fixings. My wife had the Kevin Bacon Jam Burger. It is a single patty Single with cheese and a house made special bacon jam on top. Bacon jam is a sweet and savory treat and pairs well with the all beef patty. It defends takes one back to the 1980s college days. The place does have an upbeat and great atmosphere and combined with great service makes this an excellent stop in Bowling Green, it was very crowed when we were there.

    We had such a good time at Atomic Kitchen and Jake, our server was both informative and so very helpful! The sweet heat peach wings were amazing, Kevin Bacon burger, bbq burger and grilled cheese were all exceptional. The pretzels were some of the best I've ever had and margaritas were great!!!

    The food was surprisingly awesome!! Well I had a burger and fries. The burger was hands down one of the best burgers I've had in awhile. The fries are nothing to write home about. Overall I was very satisfied. My server was a little rough around the edges but all in all I recommend.

    This Classy Venue, Sets A New Tone.. Pleasantly Kicked Out of Our Comfort Zone:…read more What a Gorgeous Night to be out & about, with Beau, on the night before the Full Moon, during Derby Week, in Bowling Green. We'd never been here before, thus, we were new to this scene! Even stepping in seemed an experience, following behind two ladies, donned in Derby Hats, & their two dapper gentlemen, who smiled, held open the door, & graciously waved us in!! Then, at a long table we happily joined, our extended, car fanatic family. Thus, the festivities began, as our evening flowed pleasantly.. What We Found : Service: Friendly & Attentive.. Our iced tea was refilled & our tables kept clean. And our server, steered us in the right direction, in recommending the Surf & Turf dinner, which was Delightful.. Ambiance: Lofty & Modern Aesthetic, with Rustic Elements. (But still too modern, for our liking). Nearby, seemed a nicer table: with a wooden tent like canopy, situated near a great hearth.. Food: Generous portions of entrees & sides. The hearty sides, are served family style. We ordered: Bacon Cornbread; Mac & Cheese; Roasted Brussel Sprouts; Roasted Mushrooms; & Truffle Fries. These Tasted Divine... Especially the bacon cornbread, served with a dollop of brown butter, which disappeared in no time!! Whilst our Surf & Turf Dinner, of: Shrimp & Beef, served on skewers, atop a bed of Fried Rice, Kicked Us Out of Our Comfort Zone. This was quite unlike the country cuisine of Bowling Green, for so long known!! And, the horseradish sauce, served alongside, seemed rich & robust!! Indeed, the menu seemed to convey the chef's creative touch!! However, our friend beside us, bemoaned that his elk steak dinner, was mostly burnt!! To the staff, not saying a word!! Moreover, Beau found his Strawberry Shortcake, a tad too dry. But from Beau's pretty dessert, to the Almond Cake, ordered at the table--all seemed a pastry feast for the eyes!! Overall: We Found This Classy Venue, A Welcome Change From The Familiar..Hearty Southern Fare, Fine Tuned With A Touch Of The Exotic!! So Happy To Say: We Loved It !!

    We chose this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday, expecting a nice dinner, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was incredibly disappointing. I wanted to order one of the bar stool specials and was told that I absolutely could not order it while sitting in the dining room. I understand restaurants have policies, but refusing to serve an item that you are actively serving elsewhere in the same restaurant simply because I was sitting in the dining room felt unnecessarily rigid--especially when we were there celebrating a special occasion. Rather than order something I didn't want, I ended up having mac and cheese as my entire meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience did nothing to make up for it. Our water was never cold, the carrots and potato salad were both disappointing, and the food took far too long to arrive. For a restaurant that presents itself as a nicer dining experience, I expected much better food, service, and hospitality. Instead, my wife's birthday dinner was memorable for all the wrong reasons. I left frustrated, disappointed, and feeling like we spent our money at the wrong place. We won't be returning.

    Spencer's is such a fun coffee shop in a college town. You'll see plenty of WKU students here as…read morewell as locals. This shop is located downtown, but there's another shop closer to the highway that has a drive-thru and parking lot. I have not been to that location. I came here twice, and I had a nitro cold brew with sugar free vanilla as well as a hot black sesame matcha with oat milk. The cold brew was smooth and strong- perfect for powering through a workday on a warm day. The black sesame matcha didn't taste "green" and stayed warm, a powerful punch to get through the afternoon. They also have unique non-coffee drinks; my coworker got an iced drink called "Huckleberry Ben" that seemed interesting. The prices are so low here. You can get two specialty coffee drinks for under $15, and that includes tax and tip. The baristas were nice, and the coffee shop is a fun place to hang out if you want to work or chill. I don't know why anyone would drink chain coffee in Bowling Green with Spencer's around. I can see why everyone loves it, and I will be back too!

The shared restroom setup was a little awkward, but honestly, I'm glad it brought me in because it felt like discovering a hidden gem in Bowling Green. The atmosphere inside is amazing; cozy, stylish, and definitely a great spot for photos. Since it's close to WKU, there were lots of students and staff studying and working, which gave the place a really nice local energy. The woman taking our coffee order was incredibly kind and friendly. She was so genuinely thankful when I left a tip, which made the experience feel even warmer. Great coffee, great vibe, and a perfect little stop while exploring Bowling Green. Highly recommend grabbing a cup here as part of your downtown visit.
