And have a home cooked country breakfast or lunch. This is not a white linen table cloth style place.

And be served perfectly cooked eggs, fresh homage biscuits and if your lucky pork tenderloin grilled to perfection on the flat top.

Attached to the local college, this lunch restaurant and farmer's market is quite prominent, with a…read moresubstantial-looking building that's hard to miss driving by. They sell products of the students' work, and I'm always struck by how underutilized Kentucky farm land seems to be relative to the food people actually eat here. The winter selection was modest, as one might expect, with greens, root vegetables, and mushrooms for sale, and a couple of hot lunch options and baked goods. Their chickpea dish was fine; nothing special but a decent lunch. Adding a cake pop was tasty; despite the semi-sweet chocolate flavor it was still definitely sweet. There was a lunch rush, and I imagine the locals fill the place up often.

I am really impressed with this store. It bears all the harvest from the hard-working students of…read moreBerea College. All the meat sold in the store comes from the locally-grown cows and pigs. As a matter of fact, just about everything that is sold in the store comes from local farms that are worked by students from Berea College. Of course, there were various types of fruits and vegetables, grains sold in bulk, some dairy (cheese and ice cream) and soaps and cleaners. Different types of sandwiches are sold daily (Tuesday -Saturday) and the store was having a plant sale on the day that I visited. I really like the concept of students working and learning a skill as they attend school to get a degree. I cant say enough good things about this store. Its was very clean, the workers were friendly. Some prices were reasonable and some (soaps and cleaners) were maybe a bit high. But higher prices are expexlcted when supply is low. Certainly, I would support this store in the future.

Kinda, sorta a general store. Use that term loosely. Better described as a gas station…read more Really not a lot of places to grab some quick snack type food while staying in the gorge. Found this place online and thought a general store would be perfect. Turns out to really just be a gas station. Nonetheless, we were able to grab some easy snacks like candy bars, chips, ramen noodles and a two liter of Dr. Pepper. Sounds like a snack of champs right? Prices are slightly higher than a regular grocer but not bad. Just an okay stop, ad long as you don't expect a "general store."

Hidden Gem on Highway 52!…read more Bear Track Grocery is small, but don't let that fool you--this place serves up some flavor! Their cheesy pizza is surprisingly good (like, crave-it-later good), and the BBQ sandwiches are downright delicious. It's on a quiet stretch of Highway 52--basically in the middle of nowhere--but totally worth the stop. Plus, they've got cold Ale-8 ready which is the cherry on top for any Kentucky road trip. . Great food, friendly folks, and a true local treasure!

The cornbread pancakes were tasty and an interesting take on the preparation of them, it paired nicely with the chili. It would've been a perfect fall meal. The staff seemed incredibly kind, and were so excited to tell us about their new slushy machine. The interior was decorated with old news paper clippings, stories, and a bobcat mascot costume. I'd go back for the ice cream, but that's about it. They were out of the things we had tried to order initially, which was kinda disappointing.
