The restrooms are clean, and they offer tourism brochures, craft displays, and a fantastic shop filled with Kentucky products. The café has a straightforward setup with a rotating selection of lunch plates that can vary in quality. There's a comfortable dining area right after you order and pay. I recently tried the lunch special: rotisserie chicken (white meat), served with sweet corn pudding, perfectly seasoned potatoes with black pepper, and moist corn bread. The land ham sandwich and onion rings are also fantastic! I'll be sure to stop by again on my next trip.

They easily admit it is a frozen product (and machine shaped to make it look like it handmade...sorta) Good if you like frozen burgers. Weekday Plates Lunch vary and are quite decent. They still provide more formal food, which was quite good years ago and some of the same customers come again and again. They tore the I75 rest areas, set into an exit and all Interstate traffic looking for a rest room and a rest make it a popular place.

A must visit! If for no other reason than to see (and buy) high quality Kentucky craftsmen, you must visit this place! The place is actually a rest stop, but yo... read more A must visit! If for no other reason than to see (and buy) high quality Kentucky craftsmen, you must visit this place! The place is actually a rest stop, but you've never seen a rest stop. In Berea, you will find a beautifully crafted stone building reminiscent of a monastic retreat, reminiscent of the visitor's joy of vision and taste. On the back of the center there is a tray restaurant with standard sandwiches and salads on one side and rotating kentucky fair on the other side. Food is very good for a tablet.

I had the catfish and my wife had the bean soup. Both were tasty. The staff was nice and the eating area is very well appointed with the local art. The food is served cafeteria style with a grill and salad bar available. Much nicer than fat food at about the same price.

Great food at prices not much more than fast food.

When traveling we try to stop during lunch time so we can eat at this café...the food is excellent and the prices are very good. It is nice to eat and enjoy the art at the same time. The nearby restrooms are first class.
