One of our favorite parts of visiting an area that we’ve never been to before is the local food.

I’m sharing 5 restaurants in the area near Bowling Green, Kentucky that each has their own distinct charm and great food.

Boyce General Store

1. Boyce General Store

10551 Woodburn Allen Springs Road, Alvaton, KY (Located less than 20 minutes from Bowling Green)

Stop in for nostalgia and a delicious mini pie at a General Store that dates back to the 1860s.

Keep current on upcoming events and delicious menu items from their Facebook page.

Make sure that you try the mini pies!

If you are debating on which mini pie to try, I suggest trying splitting two mini pies with a friend to get the best of both worlds.

Chaney’s Dairy Barn 2

2. Chaney’s Dairy Barn

9191 Nashville Rd, Bowling Green, KY 

You can meet the cows responsible for your delicious homemade ice cream made on the premises.

Adults might even want to try out the slide too.

There is also a restaurant, gift shop, and farm tours available from April -October.

Lost River Pizza Co.

3. Lost River Pizza Company 

2440 Nashville Road, Bowling Green, KY 42101

Located near the popular tourist attraction Lost River Cave, the award-winning pizza here is incredible!

I highly recommend for you to try the bread twists and the Award-Winning Wild Boar Pizza. 

Lost River Pizza Co. 4

Made with the two topping version Wild Boar, with O’Daniel Farms’ Country Sausage and their “in-house” Pickled Banana Peppers.

Another great option is the regular Wild Boar. Made with Country Sausage, Italian Sausage, Bacon, Smoked Ham, Caramelized Onions, and Banana Peppers.

Gluten-Free Crust is available upon request.

Montana Grille

4. Montana Grille

1740 Scottsville Road, Bowling Green, KY 

One word- Firebread!

    Where is it located?

    I tried Wild Eggs in Louisville in December. I agree, their food is great!

  5. Amber

    February 26, 2016 at 9:36 am

    I’d also try Wild Eggs. It’s a small chain they have it here, Lexington and Louisville but it’s amazing food.

    They have one main burger (the home cafe burger) every week and then they have 3 different others every week. Combinations you wouldn’t think go on a burger do and it’s delicious.

    That’s what I was saying 🙂

    Tea bayou also has ahhhhh-mazing gumbo, and another sandwich I can’t remember the name. It has an olive pesto or something on it. Whoaaaa awesome.

    Another must visit place is Teresa’s Restaurant on Gordon Avenue. It’s an absolutely delicious southern-fried breakfast/lunch diner 🙂

    Ok I’m intrigued by the Hot Brown Burger. That sounds really good!

  11. Patti

    My husband and I love Tea Bayou. We usually share a Hot Brown burger when we go. I also love their red beans and rice soup. And the list of teas available is awesome! If you like Bergamot and lavender, try an iced Lady Grey.

    Spillway Bar and Grill..the BEST wings!

    I am almost always a sucker for their pizzas. They come up with the most amazing combinations. I’m never disappointed, and usually wowed.

  14. MandyE

    February 25, 2016 at 7:10 am

    Please do! It’s the best farm-to-table in the area. Their flavor combinations are unexpected and amazing.

  15. MandyE

    February 25, 2016 at 7:08 am

    I TOTALLY agree. And add Tea Bayou!

    Thanks for sharing! What do you recommend at ConCons?

  17. Ashley Lindsey

    February 24, 2016 at 8:32 pm

    I live here and have never even heard of Home Cafe (whoops). Montana Grille & Double Dogs, along with Rafferty’s are all owned by the same man – Dan Davis. Great places to eat! Next time you’re in the area, check out Con-Cons on Russellville Road for home-cooked country food. She is open Mon-Sat 6a-2p. Great little place. The Chaney’s are wonderful people and their business/farm/restaurant is a family favorite for is and just about everyone we know! 🙂

  18. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 5:54 pm

    That’s good information! Is there a specific burger that they are known for?

  19. Susan

    February 24, 2016 at 5:52 pm

    Home Cafe has Burger NIGHT on Wednesdays. If you go for lunch, you’ll be too early. And if you don’t get there early for dinner, you’ll be too late. They sell out. It’s that good.

  20. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 5:49 pm

    What do you recommend there?

  21. Susan

    February 24, 2016 at 5:48 pm

    Agreed

  22. Tiffany

    February 24, 2016 at 5:46 pm

    Definitely try Tea Bayou and 440 Main, both are downtown on the square. I would also suggest Novo Dolce and Riley’s Bakery. I’m personally surprised that Double Dogs made the cut; it’s a cute concept, but I think the food is very average.

  23. Christine Hillard

    February 24, 2016 at 5:44 pm

    There is only one Montana Grill and the owner lives here. Double Dogs is also locally owned by Dan Davis and since it’s inception he has opened several other Double Dogs but neither of these restaurants are Franchises in Bowling Green. DAN DAVIS donates thousands and thousands of $$ to local charities including the Bowling Green/Warren co. Humane society!!

  24. Marie Boyd

    February 24, 2016 at 5:28 pm

    Montana grille and double dogs are not franchises. I love this list! The other places that people mentioned sound great as well and I will definately try them!

  25. Lizzey

    February 24, 2016 at 5:11 pm

    For breakfast,or anytime you are just craving a donut, you can’t beat The Great American Donut Shop! Best part is… They’re open 24/7!

  26. Misty

    February 24, 2016 at 4:58 pm

    Is ^^^ sorry

  27. Misty

    February 24, 2016 at 4:57 pm

    You can’t go wrong with anything you order from 440. Their food so Louisiana inspired and delicious!!!

  28. Marsha Nauman

    February 24, 2016 at 4:43 pm

    Don’t forget Tea Bayou on the square…delicious!!

  29. Elizabeth

    February 24, 2016 at 2:51 pm

    home is great! Wednesday is burger day at home.. try to catch them then! Griffs Deli is great as well! I miss there chicken salad melt! Judys and cambridge are also very yummy.. good home style food! 440 is fantastic but a much nicer dinning experience!

  30. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 2:09 pm

    What would you recommend from there?

  31. Lori

    February 24, 2016 at 2:04 pm

    That is absolutely true!! I think Home Cafe is THE best place in Bowling Green!!

  32. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 1:24 pm

    I’ll have to check it out the next time that I visit. What do you recommend there?

  33. Holly Bass

    February 24, 2016 at 1:22 pm

    No place is better than 440/ Mickey’s on Main!!! Best food in B.G.

  34. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 1:01 pm

    Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll need to check those out next time I’m in town.

  35. Nedra McDaniel

    February 24, 2016 at 1:00 pm

    I’ll have to check that one out the next time I’m in town.

    Double Dogs and Montana Grill are franchises and seen elsewhere around the country. For good local flavor add Judy’s Castle and Cambridge a Market. Both of those are local and unique with owners on site.

  37. Jerry Blankenship

    February 24, 2016 at 10:37 am

    Been to all of these places . All are great,

    Any “must visit” list for Bowling Green without Home Cafe on the list is just plain wrong.
