We arrived at 10:50 am, no one else around in the parking lot. Waited until 11am and went to walk in. The doors were chained shut from the inside. Drove over an hour to get there. Won't bother trying again! read more

We got there super early. The doors were still locked. The opened right on time though and the service was great. Our waitress was wonderful. Food was good home cooked breakfast. Glad we stopped by. read more

Food is good and the environment is nice and homey. They have cakes made by someone locally that are super tasty. Today was a 6-layer cake with a touch of orange. read more

Open sign was on. Lights were on. Doors were chained. Tried calling but was told they were open but didn't have any servers. So we went elsewhere. Would have like to try it but probably won't be back. If you're NOT open, don't advertise that you are. Don't turn on the OPEN sign. read more

Stopped for breakfast/lunch after our grandson's graduation at Fort Knox. Our server, Sissy, was great. The food was delicious and came out quickly. We were a party of 7, so often food does not come out at the same time, but not here. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

Food is great, coffee is even better. Cozy atmosphere. Service is wonderful, Ms. Susie has waited on me twice and she was very friendly and welcoming. read more

SERVERS DESERVE BETTER! One of the worst experiences ever. The 'breakfast cook' was working lunch and went out two of the blandest, sickest looking chicken breasts on a plate and told the server it was a sandwich. They argued with the servers and this was not the first time. I was told, 'she's snappy and doesn't like to be told no'. Drive anywhere else, don't waste a moment. Just because they redid the inside doesn't mean they got rid of the crap. read more

This afternoon, a friend and I met for lunch at The Back Street Café in Muldraugh. We were seated in the small room near the kitchen -- just two tables -- and soon after ordering, we noticed a ROACH crawling up the wall beside us. I discreetly told our server. The server standing right next to her DIDN'T REACT AT ALL. No glance, no gasp, no concern. A few minutes later, someone from the back came and killed it. I said, "I hope this isn't a reflection of the kitchen." NO RESPONSE. We debated leaving but talked ourselves into staying. When the server came to address an issue with my meal, I admitted that the roach had turned my stomach. I also shared how surprised I was that no one had even acknowledged what had happened -- no apology, no reassurance, no "We're so sorry, it's an old building -- this isn't typical." Just silence. A shrug. I thought they might at least send a manager to speak with us. My friend asked if anyone had been notified. The waitress said she had told "Ms. Sue," but no one bothered to talk to us. I've always enjoyed this place in the past. But this wasn't just about the roach -- it was the complete lack of care or accountability. I won't be back. read more

Stopped here for lunch while on a leisurely drive with family. What a great place! Biscuits and sausage gravy were the best, homemade quality good. Other choices at the table, too numerous to mention, met every expectation. Very cozy and homey atmosphere made for a very comfortable lunch. Quick and efficient service added to the experience. All in all, a most enjoyable time. read more

We had just finished up a hike at Tioga Falls and wanted to find some lunch nearby. We pretty much just went for the first place we found on Yelp. Lucky for us, we stumbled across this super charming cafe! This place is so cute. It's right behind a hotel, and seems to attract tourists, as they also sell T-shirts. Everything from the service to the food was great, and they have everything from burgers, to pizza, and even seafood on their menu. We both kept it simple with a burger, and it did not disappoint. If you are in the Fort Knox area, I suggest you check out Back Street! read more

Came for Schnitzel, however it's only on Thursday & Saturday. We stay menu was limited. Our waitress struggled food no silver ware or side dishes. Loaded baked potato was straight from the microwave. It was sent back bet it came a plain instead of loaded. The actual cod fried fish was good. We apparently didn't get the full memu as we noticed a table near us ordered breakfast. Breakfast looked great. After no mustard, non original A1 we asked for our ticket. It arrived with more apologies it was 2 separate tickets and a piece of pie had been added in error and was removed. Lots of apologies but it was a hot mess. I'm not sure we will go back. read more

The food is very good It is always busy during lunch so plan on staying a while! My hey make deserts in house and they are very good read more

Awesome food, service, and ambiance. It really surprised me. I had the Jager Schnitzel special and it was great. I will be returning

Party of 5 - came for the German food. We had high hopes but very disappointed. They were out of some of the sides. The mushroom gravy was congealed and not good. We waited a long time for our food and it came out cold - lukewarm warm. Even though we asked repeatedly for refills, our server said there were no clean glasses? Why not just put a small pitcher of water on the table? This was our first visit and we were not impressed. We'll give them another shot sometime, hopefully it was just an 'off' day or something. read more

This hidden gem in Muldragh is something that should not be missed. The servers are very friendly and they go out of their way to lift your spirits. My favorite mals here are the country-style breakfasts... always plentiful servings with real homemade biscuits. This little gem is hidden behind the old Gold Vault Inn in Muldraugh... a local landmark. For dinner, I recommend the country fried steak or pork chop dinner. This is true comfort food... and worth the drive from Louisville for a treat. It is affordable and cozy. read more

What an adorable establishment. The sweetest service. Look at the loaded tator tots! He got the meat lovers and I ordered the Buffalo chicken pizza. Mine was prettier. His was tastier. Wish it would have been cooler, the patio was fantastic. read more

Amazing schnitzel on Thursdays and Saturday!! Authentic sides, delicious cold beers. Homemade deserts are AMAZING!!!!

Visited Back Street Cafe the morning after camping to get some food before going fishing. I was not very impressed. It's definitely good, but nothing to go out of your way for. The bacon was better than the sausage. The hashbrowns were lacking in flavor and texture. The eggs were cooked perfectly. My friend enjoyed his biscuits and gravy. I would come back if in the area and maybe try something else. read more

I knew this place was going to be good when I saw the cooks outside having a smoke lol. Great service. Not a long wait time. The waitress was so sweet and talked to us like we had known each other for years. It doesn't look like much, but the prices were amazing for the portions of food we got. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Everything is amazing. I live very close to the Cafe, and I have never had a bad experience or a bad meal here. The prices are reasonable and the Staff is very friendly, and very accommodating. I definitely recommend stopping in and having a bite! read more

I literally made a yelp account because this was so bad. I wish I could comprehend how a business owner can let a restaurant run like this. Management has failed. A total of 3 employees were in the restaurant counting a cook the other 2 servers were brand new. The bar was closed and locked, and it took us 40 minutes to find that out and change our drinks. (Yes we had a girl who didn't have a drink for 40 minutes). We were in the restaurant for 3 hours and got our food 2 hours and 45 minutes into the wait. After the long wait for the food it was over cooked and the lights were shut off on us. We didn't get 20 mins to eat, half our food was not given to us, it was over cooked to shit. I will never go back to this place. read more

The Cafe was clean, warm, and charming. Service was mediocre and somewhat indifferent. Food was adequate, nothing special. Desert display case was old, unrefrigerated, and contained dried out cakes. Establishment does have potential read more

Been a min since I left a review for a place so here we go. Love to eat breakfast, just not in the morning so I happen to be up and searched for "best breakfast" and back street Cafe popped up. Glad I decided to check it out, not only was the biscuits & gravy good but the service was too. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and told "have a seat where ever you would like and someone will be right with you" and they were. Now that's definitely a good way to start the day off. read more

We came for the Thursday dinner special which is Jaeger schnitzel. The meal came with the meat/gravy/mushrooms, three side dishes and a dinner roll. We both got the special. My sides were their German Potato Salad, red cabbage and cucumber salad for my sides. My husband wanted just 2 sides and, with a little friendly arguing ordered the green beans and Mac & Cheese for his sides. The Jaeger schnitzel was tender and crispy, but the "mushroom gravy" was disappointing. The gravy was just brown gravy from a mix with no seasoning, or flavor, and the mushrooms were barely cooked. It felt thrown together. The potato salad lacked in flavor, but the red cabbage & the cucumber salad were both quite good. My hubby's green beans were out of the can and the Mac & Cheese tasted out of the box, he wouldn't eat it. We never got the rolls. The waitstaff was attentive, the decor pleasant and the temperature comfortable. read more

Our breakfast was excellent! Everything was cooked perfectly, served hot and it was all delicious. (I'm a sucker for properly cooked over medium eggs!) The prices were very reasonable and the portions were substantial. Our waitress Elena was very attentive and took great care of us. I'd recommend this hidden gem to everyone. We will definitely be going back. read more

food was amazing but the zombies kept banging the windows and the mushroom gravy was ehh...

I was not a fan of this one. The food was bland. They seemed to not really care about offering us service. The waitress seemed stressed and over tasked even though the restaurant was mostly empty. I'm not sure if they have her doing other tasks as well in a effort to reduce staff. Bottom line though was that the taste of the food was average at best. Nice atmosphere. read more

I have to say, the breakfast was pretty good and the people in there are really nice. Our last night here it was after closing time but the doors were still open because a family was finishing their dinner, I asked if they'd mind if my husband and I could stop for a beer and they were totally cool with it and we all catted it up for a few. There are really only two reasons I can't give a higher review. Second morning we were here that waitress wasn't the best and it wasn't full in there. But Hillary was completely amazing the two days she was our waitress. She really seems to enjoy her job and getting to know the people here. Also you guys should really consider staying open later. read more

Have been there several times. Always very clean and food was good. They make good omelettes and offer generous size servings. Also, a good selection of entrees. The homemade desserts look awesome however, I have never tried any of them. I always take visiting family members there for a least one meal. All have given it a thumbs up! read more

Husband ordered the Schnitzel dinner. His mac and cheese side and green beans were both ice cold. Green beans tasted like they were right out of the can, no seasoning. Mac and cheese was dry and had no cheese flavor. Spatzle side was ok but also cold. The schnitzel was cold and very tough to cut through. His dinner roll that also came with meal he couldn't even stick his fork in because it was hard as a rock. I tried to order a pizza on their menu which was why we went in the first place and informed they weren't making pizzas. Ordered Greek salad with creamy Greek dressing but was informed when the salad was ready they were out of that dressing. Would have ordered something else. Never saw the waitress after food was delivered, she never came and asked how everything was. Had to track her down for the check. There were literally maybe 12 people in the place besides us so they were not busy at all. Had high hopes because pictures online looked great but was very disappointed. read more

Our waitress was very sweet, but the food wasn't good at all. My catfish sandwich was dry (no condiments that it was supposed to come with), and half the size of any catfish I've ever seen (definitely smaller then the bread). It was so small that one of my friends offered me some of their Cod. Their Cod was mushy. I love sweets and ordered some lemon cake thinking there's no way I could go wrong there.... but I was wrong. The lemon cake was pretty horrible. I'm not sure if this was an off day, but there weren't many people there at all... on a Friday evening, but we won't be going back. read more

Conveniently located right off 31W located between Louisville and Ft.Knox/Radcliff. Ample parking and great for large parties (room upstairs). Close to the local motel. The place is unique and the outside is very appealing with outdoor seating as well. Immediately greeted and sat in a clean dining area. The decor is stunning. The waitresses were extremely attentive. We came for the Thursday special which is Jaeger schnitzel. We all three got that and their German Potato Salad which they let us sample before we ordered. It was phenomenal. The new cane with the meat/gravy/mushrooms, two side dishes and a dinner roll for $7.99 (lunch special). It was sooo much, we had enough to take home for a second meal! Two meals for $7.99?! Incredible! Dessert was absolutely perfect! Black Forest cake and German Chocolate Cake. All homemade, fresh and delicious! They have specials every day and I cannot wait to return to try them all! Thank y'all so much for the hospitality! read more

My friend and I decided to try a local restaurant to show support. We had been told how good it is. We arrived at 7:50, not realizing they close at 8:00. We order our food and a beer. Our meal was cold, bland and sucked. The waitresses started pacing our table and turned out lights. We ask what time they close, they said 8:00, but no worries, you are fine. Half way through the meal, we decide we can't eat any more of it and just pay our ticket and try to finish up our beer. The waitress comes over and says to us, our manager is on the phone and wants to speak to you. The manager proceeds to tell us the waitresses are under age and need to leave, so we need to finish up and leave too. Mind you, we weren't there long. My friend informs her that she had underage servers, serving us alcohol, gave us shitty food and service, then asks us to leave... we will be sure to let others know NOT to give business to this place anymore, including all our military friends that are their biggest supporters. Maybe a call to ABC isn't a bad idea either. I swear we thought we were on Candid camera!!! read more
