The Eatin' Table - Coconut pie

The Eatin' Table in Tompkinsville, KY is a warm, no-frills hometown restaurant that does comfort…read morefood very well -- think generous breakfasts, classic burgers, smoked BBQ specials, and a menu that reads like a love letter to Southern diner favorites. The dining room feels clean and welcoming, the service is friendly and down-to-earth, and portions are hearty enough that the regulars (and visiting challengers) keep returning. Standout strengths are the breakfast offerings and the house-sized portions: the restaurant is locally famous for its oversized "Mike's Big Breakfast" challenge and consistently large, satisfying plates that make it an ideal stop for a hungry traveler or a family meal. There's a lot to like if you enjoy generous pancakes, thick-cut toast, crispy hashbrowns, or smoked chicken and brisket options. Service tends to be warm and personal, and staff are attentive and helpful. However, a few patrons report occasional order misses during busy shifts, so a polite reminder about any special sides can be beneficial. The restaurant also appears active on local social channels and delivery platforms, which makes takeout an easy fallback. In short, choose The Eatin' Table when you want honest, filling Southern comfort food served with small-town hospitality. It's a supportive, friendly spot that shines at breakfast and offers reliable, flavorful plates for lunch or dinner. It's perfect for visitors exploring Monroe County who want hearty portions and a welcoming vibe.

Backyard BBQ - Shoulder Plate with Fries and slaw

Thanksgiving vibes don't get better than pulling into tiny Tompkinsville, Kentucky and stepping…read morestraight into heaven at Backyard BBQ. Y'all, I'm calling it right now: this is the best barbecue in the entire United States. That smoked pork shoulder plate--tender, juicy meat, kissed with smoke for hours, edged with perfect bark, and paired with their peppery vinegar dip--had me closing my eyes with every bite like I was cheating on every other BBQ joint I've ever loved. The mayo slaw was creamy crack abd the baked beans tasted like they'd been simmering since last Thanksgiving. If you ever find yourself within 100 miles of Tompkinsville, you owe your soul a detour. Backyard BBQ isn't just a meal, it's a religious experience with a side of fries. 11/10, no notes, already planning the next pilgrimage.

We found this spot on the way to vacation and we're so glad we stopped. It has an outside area and…read morea big space inside for seating. You enter and go to the counter to place your order. The menu is extensive with a ton of meat options as well as delicious sides. My husband got the chicken breast plate which comes with two sides and is plenty of food. The sauce is on top and not a thick sauce but super flavorful. I had several sides which were amazing! I went back for more green beans and baked beans as those were my favorites. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. It is a very welcoming and chill spot with an amazing smell from the smoking meats. Definitely worth a detour to try this spot! We will stop here again if even close, and might just plan a trip down to get some of their BBQ!
