Bub's Cafe - Cafe in Elizabethtown - 611 W Poplar St B-3, USA

We found Bub's Cafe while traveling and looking for a "breakfast near me" restaurant after we missed an exit to where we originally planned to go. We barely made it in time for breakfast (which stops at 11:00) and were quickly served our drinks and the food came soon after. The decor is a bit outdated, but the food was delicious! The bacon was cooked perfectly (for me) crispy, the eggs were not overcooked, the pancakes were just like I like them (with crispy edges), and the coffee was nice and hot. We are regularly traveling through Elizabethtown, KY and definitely plan to stop in here again.

Love this spot!! Great breakfast had the ham & cheese omelet, outstanding. Best hash browns in my life. Great customer service staff is friendly. People need to support these small mom and pop spots and stop catering to the corporations. I try and eat here whenever I come to town.

Yesterday, myself, my sister and her husband stopped by for lunch. I ordered the Bacon cheese burger and fries and they were hot and delicious, and reasonably priced. The service was impeccable. Even the decor made me think of a cafe I used to stop by when I was a child and visiting my birth place. The only drawback from my giving Bub's a five star rating is based on the fact that they close at 2pm and the spacing between the table and the booth, which would almost be impossible for a portly person to sit comfortably, of which I'm almost of that size. There was barely enough room to slide in the booth.

On my way to TN I found this nice place on Elizabeth town. The place has a nice vibe, with a clean open kitchen, a quiet place to enjoy lunch. Service was very fast, personal very friendly and the food amazing. I ordered the special which it was roast beef, it was very good. The hamburger, melts, chicken sandwiches and salad were perfectly portioned and delicious. The turkey melt is probably our favorite!

Fast forward a year later to 11/29/23 My opinion hasn’t changed, this place is still great, I’ve been here many times and I have never left disappointed. My only complaint would be that when I retire I’ll have to drive further to get here. And with all the price hikes Bub’s has stayed reasonable and affordable. Breakfast below in photographs for under $10.00. Can’t beat it! OMG THE BACON! I’d probably come here and just order a plate of bacon! If you are a bacon lover and haven’t eaten here, you’re going to hate yourself for not coming sooner. Your tongue will jump out and slap your face for waiting until now! Seriously, very clean, excellent food, extremely polite and attentive staff. They know their customers by name. I missed places like this.

Me and my mom went their 4 years ago it was great food. we got the last 2 pork chop plates, but when we went 2 weeks later we got their 30 minutes until close and we had to leave it's like Marylanders we not welcome yup just shoved us out. I decided to give it another try now that mom's passed and same Ole same old a bunch of under dressed hillbillies with caps on looking at me all confused so I laughed left and haven't been back😂😂

I’ve ate here multiple times now! It’s always very busy and very delicious! The French toast is amazingly good. Their waffles are great too. It’s one of my favorite breakfast places in Elizabethtown.

I came with my friend who was visiting out of town from Utah and my baby. I held the baby in my arms. We had a very friendly waiter the service was very fast. The food was excellent. Home cooked meals. The eggs tasted amazing, the hash browns are to die for. I love the vintage items on display.
