Country Cupboard

Overall Rating: 10

• Love the food, atmosphere, and service.
• There were no negatives.

“I took a group of 15 senior adults from my church to the country cupboard for lunch and everyone was absolutely in awe at the great food, outstanding service, and the reasonable price of the meal. The staff went far beyond the call of duty to make sure that our group was treated great and we felt as if we were realty. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting great food and great service.”

• Nostalgic diner.
• Dangerous food handling.

“I love to wander into southern, small town diners. I've enjoyed eating in countless across the southeast. I was hopeful of having another positive dining experience on a rainy Saturday afternoon in Madisonville. The place was tiny, to my joy. A friendly old boy took the cheeseburger order - dressed with all the fixing¿s. Then I took a seat on one of the 15 diner stools in the restaurant. That was when I was appalled. I was forced to watch some of the worst food handling habits I¿ve ever seen. In a one-square-foot space of wooden cutting board, I watched a woman pat out raw ground beef, pull apart lettuce, slice tomato, and dress hamburger buns. There was no hand-washing. There was no separation of raw from complete. Those beef-covered hands reached into a filthy little frig right next to that cutting board to pull out both more beef and raw vegetables. I¿ve eaten on roadsides in Thailand. I've eaten from handcarts in Manhattan. I've never been as disgusted as I was in Madisonville. This cute little joint is across from the street from the county courthouse, but there is apparently no health department in Hopkins county. There was no health rating hanging in the restaurant. There were several regulars in the shop. Some looked pretty tough - probably cranky from all the gi difficulties that keep them awake at night. I paid, took my burgers carryout, and tossed the whole thing in the trash. Oh, the diet Pepsi seemed fine. Stay away, at least until the commonwealth of Kentucky department of health takes some responsibility for inspecting and training restaurant employees.”

Country Cupboard
Jul 23, 2006 by Sean from Utica,KY

Overall Rating: 10

• A+ You won't find better home cooking at a restaurant.
• None, our visit was perfect!

“After organizing our Sunday lunch/cruise to the Country Cupboard, we drove 60 miles and showed up with 15 hungry Mustang Club members! We were seated immediately (very unusual with after church crowds) and waited on hand and foot while we enjoyed the scrumptious fried chicken, pork chops, sides and desserts. The staff was very friendly, the service was excellent, the price was fair and the food was first quality! I highly recommend the Country Cupboard, we'll be back soon.”

Applebee's
May 14, 2006 by Jackson from Glendale

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[8] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[8]

• I like the atmosphere very lively.
• No beer or wine served on Sunday.

“Very crowded on the weekends. Evenings around 6pm a crowd rolls in. If you plan to visit this location on a holiday, well forget it you may have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for first available. Little competition in town so there isn't much else offered in the means of service. The menu items featured tend to differ when you order.”
