Food Scene
This is a nice sample of southern / regional cuisine. The food is delicious but heavy. I suggest ordering a hot brown to share, and add several traditional sides such as fried tomatoes or okra.

Drive-in dinner from another era. Pretty neon signs. Nice at sunset. Not necessarily a healthy choice but fun.

Tremendous selection of liquor and a great place to pick up Kentucky Bourbon as a souvenir or gift. I have also seen fruit cakes from Gethsemani and Kentucky hams available there.
