    Food was great, service exceptional. Great local restaurant and we were served by the now deceased founder's grandson! Family owned and local legend.

    Love this place for a great homestyle breakfast & a hearty lunch. The food is great & service is amazing! I love the relax vibes & that is a local favorite.

    2 Biscuits & Gravy, eggs and sausage (sausage has a kick to it)
    Cristen R.

    Charming breakfast place with the best biscuits and sausage gravy I have ever had at a restaurant. Servers are very polite and attentive. Perfect small business restaurant!

    Breakfast

    The reviews said the biscuits and gravy were great. That's true. The food was good. It's where the locals meet.

    Three Cheese Omelette, hash browns and thick cut fresh bacon. It tastes even better than it looks!

    Passing by Kentucky area on our way home and was craving hot soup, this place came up on my search…read more First impression, place was huge, clean, cute and cozy with ample different types of seating. We had the Phó combination, Cambodian noodles and Banh Mí with Honey milk green tea boba. I tell you, delicious! Delicious! Everything was goood! Very authentic. It was the perfect meal for this chilly weather. The bobas were delish as well, soft right amount of chewiness and adjustable sweetness level. Friendly and quick service. Check them out! Happy tummy!

    Great pho and banh mi!…read more The first taste of pho and you know they've nailed it. It's that broth. That's the key to the pho. And this place has it. We went with beef and it did not disappoint. We also shared a Houz Ba Roi banh mi. That roasted pork belly just danced on the taste buds. It almost makes you celebrate the French colonial period. If this came out of it, it couldn't have been all that bad. What a great fusion of the two cultures. Place was super clean and comfortable. The guy at the counter was very helpful. We ordered the banh mi based on his recommendation, and I'm glad we did. I've said it before and I'll say it again...the best pho I've ever had was in Duluth, Minnesota. The best banh mi I've ever had was in a gas station in Metairie, Louisiana. Does this place measure up to those? No, but it's still five star. If I'm in Ellizabethtown, I'm stopping here.

Trialed a flight and all four had unique but good flavors that I could've glad had a full glass of. The food was also really good! The Ruben was stacked with meat, the sweet potato fries came with a marshmallow/cinnamon dip that acted as a dessert. Truly no misses. Would go back! 10/10!

    A very family friendly stop-over! We spent the night in Elizabethtown on our way to Mammoth Cave…read moreNational Park. We had originally planned to go to a burger joint around the corner, but they had a 40 minute wait, and we passed HubHaus along the way. We truly enjoyed this spot. The kids LOVED playing pinball and Ms PacMan. Mom might have enjoyed that pinball too. Pinball was $1 a round. Bring cash for the quarter machine. The food was decent enough, and they do no contact ordering for the food, so there was no awkward interactions for our awkward teen. I had the Old Fashioned to drink, and it was good. Perfectly crafted. The beer was decent, and the cow motif was fun. We received our food promptly and there were plenty of spots for seating and watching sports. The outdoor area was hopping with small children. Loved the turf grass outside. The pretzel was different; I thought it was delicious but Picky 10 couldn't decide if it was weird or not. Mr. 14 got the brisket burger. The fries are true potato fries. I had the Reuben. It was fine. I enjoyed it, but it was heavy--when is a Reuben not heavy?! Hubs had a regular burger and enjoyed it. It was a nice find.

    Stopped in on the way to Nashville…read more Had a 20 minute wait on a Friday evening. We almost turned around to walk out when a couple said "It is really good. So good we come every Friday." We waited that 20 minutes to be seated and we had awesome service from Marissa D. She had a smile Everytime she came and checked on us and checked in the appropriate amount of times. We got a house salad to start. Done nicely with a nice amount of toppings. We ordered 10 boneless and 10 traditional wings with fries and queso. Boneless wings disappointed but the gochu sauce was amazing. Medium hot was also a good sauce. The fries were skinny but pretty good. They got cold fast so make sure you eat those first! I finished the dinner off with a blackberry vodka mule which just had blackberry puree at the bottom of cup which I didnt realize until I drank it all. But it was still an awesome mule. The family seemed to enjoy the food outside of the boneless wings. I forget what sauce the in laws got for their wings but it looked pretty amazing. I would come back for traditional wings and try more for sure!
