Bacon Creek Cafe

Not a bad place to eat... cheap, hot and fast. Found it with Yelp's help on the way to Mammoth Cave National Park from Louisville. The smoking inside the place is a little bothersome, but as a native Floridian not used to that sort of thing, it adds to the down home country feel of the place.

We really like stopping at local, small dives but this one wasn't a hit.  Waitress was really friendly.  Food was not great and took forever to get.  Locals were really giving us the stink eye and the smoking in the restaurant was a no-go for us.  We won't be going back.  Sorry folks!!!

This place is definitely an experience. A small-town hang out for locals, the atmosphere felt like a family reunion with conversations crossing from table to table.

We had a lot of questions like "What's the difference between city ham and country ham?" and "Do you have wheat bread?"

My dad decided on the country fried steak, and I selected the Chuckwagon which is like a ground beef schnitzel with an overarching carney flavor.

The food service was quick and polite. The food itself was average, although the country fried steak was on par with the average greasy spoon of the South.

Expect southern home cooking: chopped sirloin, cod fish, grilled chicken, and spaghetti were the specials of the day.

If you decide on dessert, choose one of the homemade cakes made by a local woman bought by the restaurant.

Overall, home style food here is equivalent to food you could easily make at home. Perhaps the best decision is opting for a glass of milk and piece of cake and choosing to eat dinner elsewhere.
