If you're looking for some good country cooking with affordable prices then Sam's is for you. It's a small diner type of place with lots of regulars.

We bring show horses to the horse park several times a year. We always eat at Sams. Great breakfast. Good lunch sandwiches. Dessert excellent. Walls filled with old framed racing silks. Non-smoking section in back does not smell like smoke and I'm very sensitive to it. Try the Kentucky classic the Hot Brown! More

Love Sams- it is truly a Kentucky Tradition/artifact! Great homecooked food, (excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner!) Always busy, has a little smoky smell - but gives it character! Great desserts! Will continue to go for years to come! More

We went here for dinner on the recommendation of the hotel clerk. This is a classic "meat and two" type place, but the menu also featured items such as prime rib and babyback ribs. Service and food were excellent. The toasted coconut pie was incredible. The only problem was that this restaurant doesn't have a nonsmoking section and we were... More
