We saw a booth at the fair that prompted our 1 hr drive out to Hodgenville and to this spot to have…read moresome lunch. Basically it is a side gig to the Lincoln Jamboree which features country music. They seem to pull a good local crowd for their plate lunches which are the most reasonably priced then I have seen in quite awhile. Lunch is from 11a-3p and there it is cafeteria style with your choice from 2 entrees, 2 sides a dinner roll or cornbread with a drink all for under $10. There is a short order menu available as well. Upon our visit the offering was meatloaf or chicken and dumplings with sides of brown beans, green beans, pickled beets, or real mashed potatoes. Now that is some comfort food for ya! They have a small gift shop area with jars of chow chow, pickled relish, BBQ sauces and various jams/jellies 5 for $19.99. Yes, we got 5. Whether you are touring through to visit Abraham Lincoln's birthplace or just headed to Nolin, it is a quaint little spot to grab some lunch. They are open 7 days a week abd serve breakfast as well. The people who worked there were as country sweet as you could get!

After a day long visit to Shaker Village, a 10 minute drive to the Old Owl Tavern (part of the…read moreBeaumont Inn) was the perfect choice for dinner. As soon as we parked the car we were greeted by a ginormous need of mint...the scent was inticing. The tavern does not take reservations and we arrived at the perfect time, around 5:30. But 6 pm the bar was full and most of the tables were also filled. The tavern had good character, dark, woody...with photos of rick houses on the wall along with paintings of two fierce owls. We were greeted immediately and had the pleasure of being served by the most pleasant and efficient waitress. Enough choices for bourbon, some good drafts, and a deliciously made dry martini (along with a coffee for our tea toatler yesterday) started is off. There was a nice selection of specials for the day...some of which only a true southerner could appreciate (fruit gel topped with mayo, tomato spicy over cottage cheese topped with mayo) and some like cream of broccoli soup and steak boardelaise that even a yank could appreciate. Our table settled on two orders of fried catfish which came with a choice of two sides...baked potato and coleslaw were the choices. One of our diners choose the fried chicken livers that came with cream gravy...she chose the broccoli soup and corn pudding as her sides. Our tea toatler chose the country fried steak. I will term you that everyone cleaned their plates...it was that good. A final round of coffee, the OK from the waitress that we could pick some mint (which was planted in our garden at home) and we were off. Guess who is coming back? Me!!!

Table for three was cleared and handed to us promptly (they don't take reservations)…read more Drinks were great (old fashioned and manhattan). Server was attentive and friendly. House salad was fresh with fantastic blue cheese dressing I assume was house made. Chicken livers were impeccable--crispy outside and tender and delicious inside. Gravy was nice (hint of nutmeg?) mash was acceptable but not outstanding. Chicken my companions had was good. Banana cake was outstanding! Cobbler was undercooked and not tasty (they gladly subbed in an orange/lemon cake which was great) bread pudding and cobbler both looked a little sad next to the cake portions. Perhaps think about human nature when you are pushing out desserts. It is very easy to feel let down when your dessert is tiny and your neighbor's dessert is huge! Just a thought. Recommend highly! Atmosphere, service, food, the whole picture.

I ended up ordering the Souvlaki ( chicken skewers) and it was absolutely delicious. It came with rice, salad with a wonderful dressing, warm pita bread and tzatziki dressing .
