I had the best service at this Grill today. Liz was a wonderful waitress, she was knowledgeable about the menu, super friendly, on the ball with service. The food came out super quick, it was hot and fresh. Our meals both tasted delicious. I ordered the grownup grilled cheese, my partner had the mammoth burger. We ordered biscuits with Huckleberry jam as our appetizer (its a side on the menu). The biscuits were small and so cute. The biscuits were flaky and moist. The jam was just sweet enough, but not too sweet. Will definitely visit again in hopes to have Liz as our waitress, or just to see her friendly smile.
She deserves a raise, for all her hard work.

Food and atmosphere were both great! Such a great spot to unwind. After a hike on the trail, it was the perfect lunch spot. We had the fried green tomatoes, cheese curds, and Sweet Chili wings. Delicious.

Conveniently located inside the park and are operated by The Lodge at Mammoth Cave, we stopped at this establishment.
Named for the river that flows for approximately 384 miles through south-central Kentucky, the Green River Grill was an ideal stop for visitors like us seeking to refuel after a day of cave exploration.
The menu featured an array of dishes that highlight local ingredients and flavors, from hearty breakfast options to satisfying lunch selections, and sadly limited for those who don’t eat meat or fish.
Upon arrival as first-timers, my partner, his family, and I waited a few minutes for a staff member to sit us down at the next available table in the dining room.
For starters, we opted for the Fried Mozzarella Cheese Curds. As our main entrees, we decided on the Portabella Sandwich accompanied by Fries and the other by Onion Rings, Lemon Pepper Trout, and Turkey BLT Wrap.
The food was delicious, full of flavor, and hit the spot. Prices were good given that there weren’t a lot of options we were used to in New Jersey. The service was friendly and attentive; our server was Michelle.
We can recommend this place.

I’m staying in the park lodge for the weekend and was looking forward to not driving anywhere once I got here and this restaurant was part of that plan. But I’m going to have to go to town for my second night’s dinner.
Unfortunately, they take their menu down to pretty much a bar menu with no entrees for the off season. The special of the day was….soup. Their posted online menu doesn’t match the in restaurant one. The website reflects their full menu.
With the current menu I don’t see how you could have dinner here two nights in a row. I sincerely don’t understand it. You have a chicken sandwich on the menu…. you can’t turn that into some sort of chicken pasta dish?
I will say the burger was absolutely delicious and the price was great.

After our first tour, we had lunch at Green River. We started with fried cheese curds as an appetizer. Hubby ordered the Mammoth Burger without a bun with a side of fries. Hubby thought the texture of the burger was off, mushy like. However, he liked the Mammoth sauce. I ordered the Turkey BLT wrap with fries. There was a little too much bacon for me, though I really liked the herb mayo. For dessert, we had a piece of Derby Pie. All in all, our meal was ok. We do have to say our server was very attentive.

Hungry after a morning of cave tours we stopped in for lunch. The Moonshine Appletini was a good cocktail, and desserts were great. Huckleberry Sundae was really good.

We were tired from the day and didn’t want to drive 30 minutes back into town for dinner. When we arrived, they had live music that was so loud we couldn’t talk over it even out in the lobby area. (I’m talking nightclub level loud.) We were traveling with friends and wanted to be able to visit over dinner. The manager, Emma, saw the looks on our faces and offered to seat us in the closed lunch area away from the music. Food was good, but the service was the highlight of the night. Our server, Liz, was helpful with food recommendations and provided just the right amount of conversation. Trout, steak, pork chops and fried mushrooms were all good, and the biscuits were awesome. Best customer service experience we’ve had in a really long time. Thanks for a great evening!

Had a lovely lunch here today for my and my mom’s birthday. The food was decent overall. Certainly could use some work and a few more menu options. The soup and salad were not great. The Hot Brown was surprisingly good, and the desserts were good. Service was excellent! We will come back again.

My husband and I actually ate here twice during our 2 night stay at mammoth cave. We got dinner to go our first night in because it was close to closing. They didn’t make us get it to go but they did warn us they’d be closing within 25 minutes so we didn’t want to be rude. The strawberry pecan salad was so so good and the biscuits were to die for. The flatbread was ok, we would not get it again. Prices were pretty good given that we didn’t have a lot of options for restaurants!
The service was wonderful!
Our 2nd meal here was breakfast which is a buffet for $15 per person and includes a beverage. We found this breakfast to be quite good though we opted out of it for our 2nd day.
I would definitely recommend dining here.

I enjoyed a delicious meal while my party toured the cave. My food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the staff was attentive. I had the Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich and then I splurged on the decadent warm Bourbon Pecan Pie with ice cream.
