The start of my first official day in Kentucky kicked off at Eastgate Family Restaurant. My friend…read morewho's from here advised that Eastgate Family Restaurant has the best breakfast in the city. Based on what he said I had to go. As Eastgate Family Restaurant sits in a parking plaza there is ample parking. Upon walking it you are met with a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant is huge but has the feel of a small down home diner. The decor is very simple and dominated by gray tones. Once seated we were greeted by Lisa who was all smiles and midwest charm. The menu has an abundance of options but the breakfast section was calling my name. LoL! As I watched the servers bring out some other dishes I had to think long and hard about what I wanted. Being that my tastebuds we're all over the place I decided to go A-La-Carte, don't judge me. Food: Grits - The grits were plain. There was nothing special about them overall but they satisfied my desire for some grits. The serving size was very generous and after adding 6 packs of butter I was happier. LoL! Bacon (well done) - The bacon was the bomb. It was thick and well done just how I like it. Even with being well done it still had the robust flavor profile of smoked pork. Truth be told, I would come back for the bacon alone. Home Fries (well done and add onions) - The home fries were thinly sliced which made the crispyness even better. Though they were thin they still had the softness in the middle. They hit the spot. Overall, Eastgate Family Restaurant was a good meal with great service at a great price. It's worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for home cooked flavor without having to cook it.

My husband loved the eggs. The biscuit tasted like it was made from scratch. We ordered the pecan pie because it was the special. It was so good! The coffee was okay and hot in its yeti mug. I thought they could use someone to bus tables, cause when we walked in there were quite a few dirty tables and flies on the left over food. That almost turned me around, but I'm glad we stayed! If I was a local, I'd be a regular!

They nuked me a baked potato though. Everything was perfectly cooked and not greasy. The fish had a cornmeal batter and was moist inside. Their slaw is mayo based. Service was awesome. Good coffee too. Smoking is allowed in the back. (Its a truck stop diner - get over it!). I sat in the front and it didnt bother me. Good stop.

Oh what a find! This place was recommended by a local and although I'd passed by many times, the…read morerec is what tipped my foot through the door at last. What a pleasant experience. The master of sandwiches who took my order recommended the smokehouse grilled cheese. It was a perfect suggestion It had beautiful texture, the perfect balance of meats to cheese to bread, and sauce. It was piping hot and every bite of this sandwich was enjoyed. I usually enjoy the middle of a sandwich but this one was nice from end to end. I actually took my time to enjoy this in little bites rather than scarfing it down. They were also kind enough to let me sample a slice of their bread which was really good. They have a variety of flavored butters and a good amount of loaves, cookies, and things that looked good. The vibe of this place is pretty cool. It is clean and the music is chill, and I super appreciate that they take good care of the restrooms. I've already lined up my next meal here. It'll be a tomato bisque soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. But of course you knew this. You were probably going to order the same and I dont blame ya. It'll be fantastic. I already know!

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.

My waitress was super nice and extremely skilled at her job. I had the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and house salad/ranch dressing. I left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the ribeye medium and it was absolutely perfect. The seasoning was much better than Texas Roadhouse. The baked potato was the best I have had in years, nice and soft and perfectly topped. The salad was fresh and not overloaded. The overall experience felt very relaxed. Even though it was seven minutes until closing when I finished eating, my waitress enthusiastically asked if I wanted desert. This is a quality restaurant worth every penny. I will be back.
