Was just okay. Boring renovation and food was subpar. Wouldn't be back quickly or recommend to others to go. If they would make it more like an experience rather than a hospital looking cafeteria. read more

Great place! Catfish on Friday's is the best!!! Sometimes it can get cold but they bring fresh out ASAP!!

The food was pretty sad. The service was not very good. Next time I go to the park I'll bring my own food.

The restaurant was hard to find, it was cold inside, to the point a coat was necessary. The food was bland and none of the salad bar portion was any good - it looked like it had been on the bar for serval days. The server was pleasant, which was probably the best part of the experience as well as other patrons were nice. read more

Annie the GM needs a little basic training in restaurant mgt, service principles and promotion. Despite that the waitress gave us good service, there are good people here, good views but the good is spoiled by an anemic salad bar with stale bread. Slow on a Sunday late October and the lack of music makes it feel spooky/dead. Food was fair and the bourbon made things better. Cover the bread put on some music and never ever close the option of drinks from the bar. Start doing promotions to bring in the locals. We've come here at least once on a fall Sunday every year for 30 years and I've never seen it so slow. Sad. Marketing needed for a turnaround. read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - There is a view! - Burgers Near Me - Carrollton, Kentucky

I'm updating to a 5-star review after our Mother's Day buffet experience! Everything on the buffet was hot and fresh and they kept up very well with demand. We had made a reservation for a large group of 15 and our table was ready and waiting for us when we got there, despite them being very busy. Our server was attentive with drinks and refills as well as clearing plates. All in all a very nice dining experience, especially with all the staff shortages most places are experiencing! read more

Temporary location while original location is remodeled. Service was excellent. The buffet offered southern comfort food. The fried Catfish was delicious. Very fair pricing. read more

I spent a few days here for a retreat so had the opportunity to eat here several times. This is heavy southern food- all things fried, battered, and buttered. If you don't want that type of stuff, this probably isn't your spot. I'm not a buffet person at all but I appreciated the salad bar a lot. Breakfast buffet was typical- scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, etc. The bacon was a highlight! Different entrees, sides, and deserts were offered for lunch and dinner. Fried chicken, catfish, barbecue, mashed potatoes, casseroles, and fried okra to name a few. They also have Happy Hour drinks. All the staff that I encountered at the restaurant were friendly. read more

This os my second time here. Love the environment, the staff was very friendly and always checking on you. The buffet is small but the food was always warm and very good. Will come here again. read more

I can honestly say I eat here just about every single day. There's a lunch buffet every day and a dinner buffet on the weekends and whenever there's a lot of people booked any particular night. They've started running specials most nights when there isn't a buffet and that's a nice addition to the regular menu. Everything is usually excellent and decently priced. read more

Another Kentucky park that we visited that has really good food. I had the popcorn shrimp and my wife had the catfish. Two sides each came with the meal. Friendly service and good prices. We carried out our meals due to Covid. Both entrees were fried perfectly. Icedtea was fresh. Fantastic dining room that was spacious and fits perfectly with the State Park. Really clean. Enjoyed our meals. A gem in the woods. read more

Overall, not bad food but not great either. Buffet is consistent in quality and I love happening upon their fried chicken days. The fried fish is also good. Love the banana pudding! Like most KY state parks, there's a very run down feel to the entire lodge and rooms. See many better days I'm afraid. read more

Went to the Sunday buffet (Aug 7, 2022). As usual the restaurant was understaffed (as almost all restaurants are these days). Though we did get good service from our waitress (sorry, I've forgotten her name!). The food/salad bar is what I ordered, and the food was pretty good. They don't open until 11:00 and only stay open until 2:00. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and some good views of the Ohio River. There is so much potential here. No comparison to Ledges Restaurant at Natural Bridge SRP. I've eaten there dozens of times, and always tasty and good. read more

Took a beautiful ride with our motorcycle group for lunch. We all purchased the buffet since it was reasonably priced at $13.99. Fried chicken, catfish, brisket were the main items along with #macncheese, green beans, and california blend. Beans and cornbread were another option as well as a dessert bar. Food was good but not great and service was friendly and fun. I'd go again if in the area but not make a special trip. read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - Desserts are always a good ending. - Burgers Near Me - Carrollton, Kentucky

The views here are lovely, but the food is nothing to write home about. I had the hot brown. I always enjoy when they put ham in a hot brown, but I wish the hot brown was hot. It was warm. Also they put ham on one side and turkey on the other. I wish it would've been spread out. The fries were terrible. There was no buffet today. Service was fine. read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - Hot brown - Burgers Near Me - Carrollton, Kentucky

The ambiance was the reason we tried this restaurant, we stayed in a cottage here in GBRSP. Food average, dining room was empty @ 5 for dinner. We both had fried catfish, was average, salad bar ok, nothing special. Scenery with lots of glass, fireplace, lots of wood, lodge like appearance, prices reasonable. read more

The food here is really good. There is nothing bad here. Service has always been good and the view is good. I recommend you take the 45 minute drive from Louisville and enjoy some of Kentucky's treasures. read more

Service is piss poor... Employees all had attitude and looked like a 3 yr old dressed them for work that day. Waited over an hour for the food our group of 6 ordered before asking for our bill for drinks so we could leave. Toddlers could do a better job... read more

I don't think these bad reviews are warranted. You just gotta have the right expectations. This is country, home style food that is done well. They have a reasonably priced buffet with a variety of items that includes a salad bar and desserts. The staff was kind and accommodating despite us having a party of 15. read more

Lodge atmosphere with huge and tasty portions. Really good value and the staff is wonderful. I had the pecan chicken (order a box to go with your meal), chicken and dumplings soup, and the philly fries over the duration of our stay at the park. Each was great and enough for two or more. read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - Entrance - Burgers Near Me - Carrollton, Kentucky

We were seated by the host and asked the price of the buffet because it smelled great. He told us our server would be right with us. I waited a few minutes then went to check out the items on the buffet to make sure I did want it. Came back to table, still no sign of waitress. We waited a but longer. Servers walked past to other tables, but none paid us any attention, not even an I'll be right with you. Someone could have at least acknowledged us. So we left. read more

The only reason I'm giving this place two stars is because the service was very good. The food, however, was just barely edible. I had the breakfast buffet, the usual selections were available; eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, oatmeal, home fries, French toast sticks, fruit, muffins, and biscuits and gravy. For a place that says they serve "signature Kentucky favorites" one would think that they would at least get biscuits and gravy right. The biscuits were cold, and the gravy tasted straight out of a mix; there was no sausage at all in the gravy, that was separate on the buffet. The sausage itself was overcooked, and pretty much zero flavor. That was the theme for the whole buffet; devoid of flavor, over or undercooked, and cold. Oatmeal grey and lumpy, grits had no taste. The fruit was straight out of a can, and muffins out of a box. And most disturbing of all, the bacon was cold, limp, and soggy. Being this was the first time I had eaten there, I was very hesitant to write such a negative review. But coupled with the lackluster room in the lodge itself, I felt I had to. read more

We love coming here to eat! It is a good old-fashioned buffet food. Good service, killer views, friendly folk, and small-town living. if you go in with the right expectations you'll have a lovely time. Not many places like this exist anymore. Enjoy the step back in time...when things were a little bit simpler. Today we had ribs, fried chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, vegetables, beans, cherry pie, ice cream, rolls... exactly what we were hoping for. The sauce on the ribs reminded me of Montgomery Inn. I have the pickiest six-year-old eater ever and he said he loves their food. BOOM read more

This is a pretty stop if you are in the area with great views. The food is not bad either. I got the salad bar which offered a lot of toppings, always a favorite of mine! The soup of the day, which came with the salad bar, was bean soup. The soup had a good flavor but I did need to add salt. The cornbread was a nice addition also. I got pasta, with shrimp added, and it had tomatoes and oil. The cheese was on the side which was great for me. They have quite a few healthy options which is always great to see including a veggie wrap. I will definitely be back when I am in Carrollton again. General Butler Park is a beautiful place to visit! read more

Two Rivers Restaurant - Pasta with added shrimp. - Burgers Near Me - Carrollton, Kentucky

No bussers work here after five o'clock according to staff, and therefore most tables go unbussed.... Making for a sloppy looking place. They had to clear two tables off to make space for us, but after throwing all that on an adjacent table, it and many all over the restaurant went unbussed the rest of our time there. Food was okay. Buffet had good variety and basically good tasting products but nothing that gets a superior rating. read more

Very family friendly, calm relaxing atmosphere, delicious food on the menu and buffet, servers are amazing, always go home happy and stuffed!! read more

Let's start with the service, the service was great the staff was very friendly and they wouldn't let you run out of anything. To bad you could not say the same for the food. It is not that the food tasted hirable, it was just void of any seasoning of any kind. We have eaten here before and it was pretty good this time it was at best bland. read more

Open for breakfast but the only non-pork meat is a Florshime steak with freezer burn. Skipped eating the steak but the eggs and potatoes were good. Service was friendly and good although she never asked me about the steak. No doubt she knew because of its order was strong and strange. I was directed here by Google. read more

Had buffet. High point was lightly breaded fried catfish. That alone would get a 5. Just be sure to select the nice, fat pieces. Also the small breaded corn nuggets. Slightly sweet. Low points were clams (all breading) and chocolate cake (very dried out). Also, pork loin was a little tough but baked chicken was good. Salad bar and sides satisfactory. read more

We were travelers off the interstate and wanted a good local breakfast. Walked in to the lodge and no one was available to direct us to the restaurant. We found the restaurant and asked if they were still serving breakfast, since it was 10:30. One waitress told us no they weren't while another told us they were we would just have to order off the menu. We ordered and I think our waitress, Savanna, might have said five words to us all the while having a sassy attitude. She slug the food down on our table and walked away. The food was okay, a little over seasoned, but okay. Once it was time to pay our waitress started acting nice. I'm giving this review a one for the food, but I would give it a negative one for service. Kindness gets you far in life! read more

What a deal! What a find! Even though the food tasted fine, it's not a very exciting food bar but it worked for us. We followed our iExit app for options off the interstate highway. I bet during the summer, it's busting at the seams with a golf course across the street and options for camping/cabining in General Butler State Resort Park. On this Saturday noon, I'm sure we were surrounded with local folks. I had the soup/salad bar while hubby had the full buffet. Salad bar was fresh and worth the price of $6.99 but the rest of the buffet was typical fried and processed food. We may consider stopping by during better weather. read more

I thought I would share my experience at Two Rivers. My wife and I went to Two Rivers and were both going to eat buffet. We noticed that the sign in the lobby said $13.99 When we got to the restaurant the sign said $18.99 After thinking for a minute I decided to order from the menu. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. My sandwich and fries were about the best I've had except home cooked. Service was good. My rating is low because of the price of the buffet not matching and they close at 8pm !!! My wife said the buffet was terrible. Carrots mushy, some crab legs that she watched the chief place in the bar were cold, and catfish was so so. We won't go back read more

Food was fine, wait was much. Staff was doing the best it could but it was Mothers day Sunday and they did not seem to have the right amount of staff or room for the amount of people. Clean place but at the end of the day I'm not one that would come back. But that might be me view on Buffets read more

Came back this year and had the Sunday dinner buffet with tea for $17. Excellent food and service. Roast beef was delicious, potatoes had lots of flavor. Had veggie omelet this morning- $10 with coffee. Veggies were so fresh and yummy! Thanks, Two Rivers! read more

I believe in second chances, and I wanted this place to work, but they refuse. I've dined here many times over the years, but only twice in its current incarnation. The server promised the food would arrive soon four times before it did. There were several tables of people, and they all looked like they were parked in an airport lounge, hoping for a standby flight. The menu was very limited, but they did have hot brown, too bad it tasted like wallpaper paste. The chopped steak was also ordered, and my companion ate almost a fourth of it and informed the waitress that it was over salted, to the point of being inedible. The waitress offered to bring something else, but we didn't have another 40 minutes to wait for the chef to come back from break and decide to start cooking. Also, she was not clear on whether that something else was going to be a replacement charge or in addition to the steak. She should have taken it off the bill and then negotiated from there. She didn't lose her tip, she just had to use it to pay for the steak dish that was garbage. I will not return unless there is a complete overhaul of staff, management and the menu. read more

We drove up the hill to this restaurant thinking we could enjoy a beautiful view and eat a nice dinner. It's difficult to actually find the seating area with no signs at the door or in the hotel lobby. We were not greeted right away, and we were disappointed to discover that the view is mostly of a concrete wall. The table was dirty and the menu very meager. We left. read more

Have eaten here before and the food wad much better than today. It was so generic today. The mashed potatoes, the green beans, baby limas and the beef stroganoff , all just acceptable. The salad bar looked good. The pinto bean soup was crazy good. The banana pudding and peach cobbler looked good and judging by others, was very good. read more

This place gets one star, because it's the lowest rating Yelp will allow. Avoid this place like the plague. A friend and I both drove from out of state to run the Tough Mudder that was taking place at the Kentucky Speedway this year. We came in around 8:30. We split a plate of pretzels, each had two beers. and ordered sandwiches. I had the "Prime Rib" dip, and my friend had a burger. The pretzels were burnt, and the cheese had been sitting long enough to have a film on it. After finishing our sandwiches, and settling in for the night we both ended up with severe stomach issues. My friend was up all night with severe nausea and diarrhea. This forced him to compete in a ten mile obstacle course run, completely dehydrated. We spoke to the attendant at the desk when we checked out, and she basically laughed in our faces. This restaurant is absolutely terrible, but moreover, this whole area is incredibly bad. If you head out that way for any reason you're better off sticking to Lexington, and just budgeting the hour of travel time. read more

Overall the food was the best tasting buffet style food I've had in a long time. I highly recommend place for a Sunday dinning experience. This place has some good views too. read more
