    Pros: Ambiance was nice and clean. And honestly it's just nice to be indoors when you do a lot at National Parks. Service was very friendly. The server kept refilling our drinks and the food came out very promptly. Food was a-ok. I had a fancy grilled cheese, he had a cheeseburger, both came with fries. A perfectly serviceable lunch. Cons: Not really any. It was a really ok meal. Tips: They have a better than expected beer menu, so I would look into that, if you like beer.

    I took advantage of the proximity of the Green River Grill when visiting Mammoth Cave in Ky for dinner. Located in the park and connected to the lodge, it was very convenient. The atmosphere was a little bland but service was excellent and the food good quality. The food was priced well and we were impressed with quantity eg the charcuterie board was huge! I would visit again and happy to recommend.

    Conveniently located inside the park and are operated by The Lodge at Mammoth Cave, we stopped at this establishment. Named for the river that flows for approximately 384 miles through south-central Kentucky, the Green River Grill was an ideal stop for visitors like us seeking to refuel after a day of cave exploration. The menu featured an array of dishes that highlight local ingredients and flavors, from hearty breakfast options to satisfying lunch selections, and sadly limited for those who don't eat meat or fish. Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner, his family, and I waited a few minutes for a staff member to sit us down at the next available table in the dining room. For starters, we opted for the Fried Mozzarella Cheese Curds. As our main entrees, we decided on the Portabella Sandwich accompanied by Fries and the other by Onion Rings, Lemon Pepper Trout, and Turkey BLT Wrap. The food was delicious, full of flavor, and hit the spot. Prices were good given that there weren't a lot of options we were used to in New Jersey. The service was friendly and attentive; our server was Michelle. We can recommend this place.

    Located inside the lodge at the National Park, this is a great place for comfort food. Drinks are a very reasonable prices and service is good. Great place for a meal after visiting the caves

    My party and I really enjoyed the grill. The food was fast and delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and welcoming! We ordered multiple meals from here of breakfast, lunch, and dinner and we were not disappointed. A convenient place to eat when exploring Mammoth Caves NP.

    after a 2 hours tour and 3.8miles walk. This is great food and taste pretty well. Only fired chicken takes 45 mins. But otherwise, just stay and eat, price is very reasonable too .

    Chicken and waffles
    Shadow S.

    What a fantastic find. Maybe the best food we tried in the area. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles. I consider myself a connoisseur of the dish, and this is one of the better ones I've had. Also, the huckleberry jam for the biscuits was amazing too. Highly recommend trying lunch here with your cave tour!

    Pinto beans

    Mammoth burger was flavorful and good sized. Cheese curds were super tasty. Pinto beans were DELICIOUS! Served with purple onion and tasty cornbread.

    Only dinner option at the caves & we want to catch the 6:30 ranger led tour so this is dinner. The menu has 8 choices, there are more adult beverages to choose from. We were seated on a boring restaurant with a view of the parking lot. What made the grill were the poster size black & white photographs about the caves on the walls. Our waitress seemed surprised that we are sharing a flatbread pizza for dinner & starting with side salads. The warm rolls were delicious. The salad was Costco greens with a pouch of Kens dressing. The pizza had pesto, tomatoes & cheese. Dinner for 2 with tax & tip was $22

    Cool mugs

    Sweet Emma hooked us up with some great service at opening of the Mammoth Cave NP restaurant. Cool historic pictures on the wall and nice Christmas decorations. Best service ever at a NPS restaurant - thanks Emma. We enjoyed a great country breakfast - including eggs scrambled with cheese and some thick country bacon & spicy sausage.

    Kentucky Hot Brown

    If you have any love for yourself then do not order the Kentucky hot brown. Literally a soggy piece of bread topped with lunch meat, two random tomato slices and bacon, and you can't forget the cheese slop!! That part really brought the whole dish together going from just nasty to putrid! My sister got a burger and it was mid, but plz don't order the cheese slop baconator - I had diarrhea so you don't have to :)

    Gross. Open faced mess, glued to the plate with baby vomit "cheese sauce" that was tasteless and soggy. The Kentucky Brown.

    I was looking on Yelp for someplace near mammoth cave for a restaurant that was open. I called the…read moreGreen River grill and they have been closed since 2021. I was told by park officials that Travertine is closed as well. A snack bar at the visitors center closes at 5 pm. I guess it's back to the interstate in order to find a place to eat.

    While staying at a cabin at Mammoth Cave, I came to this restaurant with my husband and in-laws…read more I've eaten at some of the restaurants at the State Parks in Kentucky, which were less than satisfactory experiences, so I was wary of this place on National Park property. However, looking over the menu, I started to think that maybe this would be OK. Turns out I didn't have much reason to be worried at all! We came in near the end of dinner service at the end of the season, and the place was pretty empty. They were out of several of the wines, but we finally agreed on a bottle for the table. Each entree came with a salad and two sides. I settled on the pork with cherry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, and baked beans. There was so much food, and the pork and potatoes were delicious. The beans were pretty bland, and the salad was fine, though I wish they hadn't served large baby carrots on it. Everyone at our table was extremely satisfied with their meals. We had discussed the possibility of getting dessert, but by the end, we were honestly so full that we couldn't imagine eating more! This is a great option if you're in the area and in need of a hearty meal!

Let's start with the expected: chicken fried chicken was amazing. The loaded fry appetizer also amazing. Sides were great. Mac and cheese and green beans both well above average to me. The waitresses were all so helpful and sweet. But let's talk about the other amazing part. This place feels right out of a post apocalyptic movie! If you've ever wanted to feel "out of this world" or in a community fenced off from the zombie apocalypse and struggling to make you feel some normalcy in your life... THIS IS THE PLACE. My goodness I loved it. An old couple in the corner was playing some Garth Brooks covers to set the mood. A "straight from the 80s arcade room" in the back had some flashing lights shine through the doorway into the main dining room. Also... this place was packed. The dusty parking lot did not have a single spot for us open and we had to wait on a parking spot. No wait when we got inside luckily. But back to the post apocalyptic vibe... I really can't explain it much better. The 80s arcade... the wood paneling on the walls. The old toy heavy machinery and trains lining the walls. The smell of the food thickening the air. Even the staff... all unique as can be!!! Don't forget the overstock Christmas plates they pulled out for us to use!!! Highly recommend this place for the food... but if you've ever wanted to experience what a restaurant would be like after the zombies take over... Give yourself a treat and come here!!!
