It took them almost 30 minutes to get us our food. This is like a home cooked meal, so maybe that is not too bad if you are not in a hurry. I got the meatloaf. You can get steak, chicken, or fish at about every restaurant like this. For me, I always like to check these kinds of places out by their meatloaf. I mean you can do a lot with meatloaf. Here it was pretty good. It had some unique spice to it that I could not put my finger on get on. I could taste black pepper with something. While I enjoyed it, the more of it I ate, the stinger that flavor was and it was just a tad too much for my liking. The green beans were fine and nothing fancy. The mashed potatoes were really good and the brown gravy was good, but I did not care much for how they tasted together. The potato recipe was really good, but it did not pair well for me. My wife had grilled salmon and loved it. She had a baked sweet potato side, but it was not fully cooked. Overall it was an ok experience in a small town for home cooked meals. I'd probably give it another try if in the area again.

The rave reviews plus the suggestions from locals sent us to this out of the way, but worth a trip…read morecafe. We used GPS to navigate here and found it in a residential neighborhood. The gent doing landscaping outside said the ribs on Friday were the best around but for Thursday, try the liver and gizzards... hmmm, I looked up gizzards and passed. Instead I had fried chicken, hot and juicy, with the best-in-the-world coleslaw and fries. Wonderful. My friend had a tenderloin sandwich, which is a misnomer. The meat was 3 times the size of the bread so he used fingers, knife and fork... making yummy noises as he went. We enjoyed the bottomless ice tea ... very good, clearly homemade. We left room for pecan pie ala mode and it arrived still warm. Excellent crust too, rare on this road trip. An easy five star rating and well deserved for this gem of a local find.

Tucked away a block off the main drag, it's worth the drive from anywhere to be greeted by pleasant smiles and conversation from all the ladies working there. My breakfast was cooked perfectly and attractively plated, and the waitress kept the hot coffee coming. Wi-fi is even provided if you're looking for a quaint place to go hang out for a bit. It took a bit of searching to find a place in the area that would cook made-to-order eggs, but now that I did I know I'll be back!

Judging from the packed parking lot, this has to be the busiest restaurant in Owensboro. Not only…read morewas the parking lot full but people were parking on the street and walking to the restaurant. The buffet was absolutely delicious. Old fashioned creamed corn, green beans mashed potatoes, gravy mac & cheese, corn muffins and fried apples all tasted like they could have come from Grandma's kitchen. The salad bar was excellent too, all the ingredients were fresh and there was a nice variety. All this and a dessert bar too! The buffet and salad bar were kept very clean and the food was fresh. Service was very friendly and the price of the bay was extremely reasonable.

Nope beef is just for sale in a freezer by the door. Asked waitress about the hamburger again thinking it was fresh beef. She said no, just a frozen patty. Decided on the country fried steak, mashed taters and Mac & cheese and hubby had his with fries and green beans. The green beans were wonderful. A little disappointed that it was a pre-ordered country fried steak. The gravy was tasty but the meat just tasted store bought and thin. They would make a killing if they made it fresh. Everything else was ok but certainly not home made. The chocolate cheese cake was amazing.

My colleagues and I were staying in a nearby hotel and after driving past Famous Bistro I checked out the Yelp reviews. So many five star reviews! We decided to give it a try and made reservations for a Thursday evening. We dined outside because it was a perfect October evening. Our server was wonderful. We started with spanakopita bites which the chef recommended and they were flakey and delicious. The homemade bread was excellent. I ordered Salmon Dijonaise and it was served with herb roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts. I also ordered a side of haricot verts. Everything was perfect, and the salmon had great flavor. My colleague ordered a small spinach salad and Sundried tomato pesto penne. Servings were generous and we ended up asking our server to box up half of our entreès. Lunch for tomorrow, yay! The food and service could not have been better. Highly recommend this family restaurant.
