I was taking a break from driving home and I wandered into Harper's Ridgetop market. It's a bait…read moreand tackle shop and deli in Cave City, KY. This place has a lake/pond in the back that fish are dumped into (watch the slow mo video on Facebook) so people can fish near mammoth cave almost all year round. My sandwich was basic - turkey on wheat bread with pepper jack cheese for just under $4. This place comes complete with moon pies. Chris (owner) is one of the nicest guys you are ever going to meet. Chris' wife Laura has a needlepoint shop in the back of his shop. The lake looked so peaceful that I've already made plans to return to sit, drink some beer, and fish with the locals. The store itself is not big and not glamorous- you go for the people and the scenery. This place is what road tripping is all about.

Feel like I need to repost this cause this place is just terrible. I called them a few days ago to…read moresee if it has gotten better. I asked them about other paylakes around cause they close at 12, and they just dogged jays paylake saying it's the worst ever. FYI it's by far the best paylake I have been too very friendly very clean and have caught bigger fish there than Harper's. So I have to update this post cause not only is the fishing terrible at this place, so is the the management. By far worst place I have fished at and still not going back.

I'm sorry but we stopped in Cave City for the night and this BBQ joint was right across the street…read morefrom our hotel. We walked over and got seated right away. It smelled great and the food we seen delivered to other tables also looked great. We got a sample platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were over cooked and chewy and the brisket was a lot of fat. The sides were just ok. Maybe it was just an off day for them because I see a lot of great reviews. We stopped in later in the evening so that may be the reason the meats were off. Again, not thrilled with our meal here, but may give them another chance earlier in the day.

First, I love a great BBQ joint that also offers tasty sides, which is hard to come by back home in…read moreNKy. My son and I both wanted to try the brisket so he got the platter and I chose the sandwich. I was told they make most of the sides that aren't fried options such as tater tots, which I was happy about. They had the classic barbecue sauce on the table as well as a spicy option. Both were equally delicious. My sandwich came on Texas toast, which is a fave. The portions were a great value as they do not skimp! The fried potatoes are made in house and they were delicious. Even though they don't make the onion rings in house they were also quite good. My one disappointment was, they don't make the majority of their desserts. And the menu states that their daughter-in-law Kayle makes different desserts daily and they didn't have that. They were actually out of several desserts, which was disappointing. Since the only ones they had were not ones made in house I chose to not get one. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away I guess I'll have to give it another shot for the dessert option next time around. Overall, the place was terrific and the folks were friendly. They have a salad bar in the middle of the floor, which is a nice touch. They have a very laid-back atmosphere and it is definitely family friendly. And you definitely get good size portions for the money.

On a beautiful Saturday morning, on our way to watch my fiancé's cousin get married, she said to…read morefind us an out-of-the-way greasy spoon for lunch. With Google's help, I discovered T's Country Market and Deli in Glasgow, KY. T's looks like it was once a gas station and general store that has been converted into a local eatery. I ordered a Bacon cheeseburger deluxe with onions, lettuce, American cheese, pickles, mustard, and ketchup. The veggies were fresh and thick cut on a soft bun out of a bag, with a proper amount of ketchup and mustard. The burger was thick, maybe 1/3 lb.; it was juicy in the middle but a little dry outside. The burger was a little plain and needed some seasoning but the cheese and bacon added a salty flavor. The bacon was chewy with a little crunch. I am a Chuck Wagon fan, so I had one of those too. It is served plain on a bun. The bun was fresh from a bag; the chuck wagon had a thin batter and was crunchy with some salt. It was probably frozen, but it cooked up nicely. Pro tip, I like mine with Cole slaw and ketchup. The coleslaw was cut up very fine and relatively sweet, but very soupy with a lot of liquid. Once added to the chuck wagon, it made for a great bite, with the ketchup cutting through the sweetness. My fiancé had the Grilled Cheese and Tater Tots. The tots are out of a bag but fried to a crunchy golden brown and seasoned well. The sandwich had American cheese and needed just a little longer on the flat top. It was slightly soft in places but they did use butter with excellent salt content. T's is a small roadside joint that offers burgers, sandwiches, plate lunches, and breakfast. The staff was super friendly, and the food came out quickly. The Fat Man says T's Country Market and Deli is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.
