Bruen's Restaurant

I've eaten at Bruen's for years and kept hearing local horror stories about it.  I had never seen anything with my own eyes so I ignored the rumors.  A year ago I was eating there and the family next to me found a band aid in a salad.  So I guess maybe all those rumors had been correct.  Bleck :(.

This is the prefect image of a diner.  First off you don't find it where everything else is located.  You actually get really lucky and find it the first time next to Post Office or you drive between the Landramat and the Valero Gas Station.  Its a small cinder block building with a red metal roof.  Parking is limited, so be a little creative just not at the gas station!

Their best deal is a meal with a meat choice (pork tenderloin, grilled ham, chicken filet, chicken livers, meatloaf, and what ever else is wrote in menu that day), salad, and two veggies for $6.25!  The ribeye sandwich tops out prices with fies and cole slaw at $6.45! But what if you want breakfast, how about $4.25 for standard egg, bacon, biscuits and gravy.  I really ate there at 8pm and went back at 9 am for breakfast.  But breakfast is all day.  They have regular home style sandwichs like peanut butter, egg, hot dogs, burgers, and all are under $3.

The atomosphere is small town prefection, you aren't from here and they know that.  But they don't really care.  You can find out about our peoples children, the county's affairs, and whether you are at someones table.  The place is run by some older women and they do get you everything you need, but you aren't at a fast food place.  This is worth the trip if you are by the Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge State Resort Park stop by!

This place is great.   Country ham breakfast.  Can't beat it
