Great old roadside restaurant with delicious, southern comfort food at a good price. Family atmosphere. We take the Danville ferry across the lake to get there. The Sunday buffet is awesome.

Awesome salad bar, the sweet tea is on point. We have been hitting this spot since we moved here 4 years ago. They have Prime Rib on the weekends & it is absolutely delicious. One of our favorite restaurants in the area! If you haven’t been give it a try you won’t be disappointed!!

I’ve been eating here a really long time! My favorite are the cheeseburgers or the French dip!! Both are great, along with every other menu option. They have a wide variety to please the picky eaters. They have a large enough area to host a birthday party for I assume up to 25- 30 people. (Make sure to call ahead they do get busy but will do a reservation.) They are also just about 1.4 miles away from a Kentucky Lake boat dock. Also, at the boat dock there are bathrooms, camping areas (tent and camper) and a small park. Very family friendly area! Great place to stop off for a meal after being on the boat all day or stop on you’re way by to get food and drinks to go with you. They do have room for a full size truck and pontoon in the parking area. Pictured is a cheese burger with everything on it, delicious!

We flew in and had an early dinner here, and the food was very good. The salad bar was fresh and well stocked, and the entrées were excellent, with friendly service and simple plating. It's a quick ten minute walk from the airport across the road. I'll be returning for dinner next time I'm in the area
