Two Rivers Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Temporary location while original location is remodeled. Service was excellent. The buffet offered southern comfort food. The fried Catfish was delicious. Very fair pricing.
This os my second time here. Love the environment, the staff was very friendly and always checking on you. The buffet is small but the food was always warm and very good. Will come here again.
I'm updating to a 5-star review after our Mother's Day buffet experience! Everything on the buffet was hot and fresh and they kept up very well with demand. We had made a reservation for a large group of 15 and our table was ready and waiting for us when we got there, despite them being very busy. Our server was attentive with drinks and refills as well as clearing plates. All in all a very nice dining experience, especially with all the staff shortages most places are experiencing!
Another Kentucky park that we visited that has really good food. I had the popcorn shrimp and my wife had the catfish. Two sides each came with the meal. Friendly service and good prices. We carried out our meals due to Covid. Both entrees were fried perfectly. Icedtea was fresh. Fantastic dining room that was spacious and fits perfectly with the State Park. Really clean. Enjoyed our meals. A gem in the woods.
I spent a few days here for a retreat so had the opportunity to eat here several times. This is heavy southern food- all things fried, battered, and buttered. If you don't want that type of stuff, this probably isn't your spot. I'm not a buffet person at all but I appreciated the salad bar a lot. Breakfast buffet was typical- scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, etc. The bacon was a highlight! Different entrees, sides, and deserts were offered for lunch and dinner. Fried chicken, catfish, barbecue, mashed potatoes, casseroles, and fried okra to name a few. They also have Happy Hour drinks. All the staff that I encountered at the restaurant were friendly.
I can honestly say I eat here just about every single day. There's a lunch buffet every day and a dinner buffet on the weekends and whenever there's a lot of people booked any particular night. They've started running specials most nights when there isn't a buffet and that's a nice addition to the regular menu. Everything is usually excellent and decently priced.
