Restaurants in Shelbyville

“We can’t say enough about this little gem. From the excellent customer service to the delicious food, our experience was beyond exceptional. There is a sense of community the minute you step in, and we love that. When you see the family working together as a team, it speaks volumes and is quite honestly why I will rank this as one of my absolute favorite restaurants to eat at. Get there earlier rather than later if you want to take advantage of their special of the day. And don’t forget to thank a farmer while you’re there!”

“It was an excellent dining experience. The food was awesome and the service was wonderful!”

“The food is so good! It reminds me of home (Texas border). Extremely friendly staff and the place is sooooo clean.”

“The filet mignon tips in demi glaze is delicious. Don't miss it. Brent is the best chef. August 10, 2024”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect going to an out of the way brewery. Places like this can be hit or miss and Last Stop Brewing is an absolute HIT!

Really good beer and a nice selection across the range of beers. Great service. We had a pizza and it delivered.

This is out of the way for us but worth going back to anytime we’re in that area.”

“Let me start first by saying, I never leave reviews unless I’m either impressed by good customer service or the food is just really that good. Tonight, I experienced both. Full slab of pork ribs, potato salad, green beans, and sweet tea. I haven’t had ribs that good in a very long time. Only one other spot takes #1 on the list and that’s The Scioto Ribber in southern OH (IYKYK), but I think it’s a tie at this point. The guys behind the counter were very friendly and quick to serve all the customers. Shout out the young gentleman for giving us a few extra coins when the machine ate my daughter’s quarter, it made her night.”

“Absolutely loved it here today for lunch. Our first time eating here and we will definitely be back soon!”

“Went on October 8, manager was excellent, made a second pizza for us.”

“The ladies working at the Waffle House in Shelbyville, KY on Highway 55 were awesome! Service was great, timing was great, food was fantastic! They definitely don’t deserve to deal with jerks (to put it lightly) like the one who came in to pick up a to-go order already with the intentions of being a loser! He had my blood boiling! However, the ladies handled it extremely well! 🫶🏼”

“Best Ham and Turkey around!!”

“The Paddock has meant so much to my daughter and me. It was a place we visited often, where we could hang out for a bit, have lunch or breakfast, play games or have a photo shoot and felt at home while doing so. It’s like the “Cheers” of Shelbyville and it has meant far more to Shelley Rose and me than I could ever fully put into words. As we prepare to move, I’ve been reflecting on this season of our lives, and one thing is crystal clear: God used this place—and the women in it—to leave a lasting mark on both of us. When I think of The Paddock, I think of steadiness. I think of warmth. I think of kindness. I think of compassion. I think of commitment. I think of a real and visible love for Jesus. And so much of that was carried so beautifully by Sam, Tanya, Haylee, and Valetta. Each of these women, in her own way, brought something powerful into our lives. Not loud. Not forced. Not performative. Just real. Faithful. Consistent. The kind of love that makes people feel safe. The kind of presence that helps people breathe. This season wasn’t easy for me in a lot of ways, and there were many days I was simply trying to make it through. But even in that, God surrounded my daughter with women who reflected His heart so clearly that even a four-year-old could feel it. And she did. They didn’t just “treat her nicely.” They loved her. They welcomed her. They were gentle with her. They made her feel seen. They made her feel safe. They made her feel like she belonged. As a father, that means everything. Shelley Rose is the most important part of my life. More than anything, I’ve wanted her to grow up around people who truly love Jesus and live that out in how they carry themselves and how they treat others. That is exactly what she found at The Paddock. Through their love and generosity, She saw what kindness looks like. She saw what compassion looks like. She saw what joy looks like. She saw what strong, gentle, God-fearing women look like. And whether they realize it or not, they helped shape her. At only four years old, Shelley Rose has become such a loving, tender, joyful little light. She hugs with her whole heart. She loves people genuinely. She cares deeply. She is expressive, kind, and so full of life. And I truly believe the women at The Paddock helped nurture that. They helped protect the softness in her. They helped strengthen the confidence in her. They helped reinforce the love of Jesus in her. That is not a small thing. That is legacy-level impact. One of the most beautiful things is the way they each carry themselves—with grace, strength, humility, and sincerity. There is a steadiness in them that can only come from walking with Jesus. There is a warmth in them that makes people feel at home. Children notice that. Shelley Rose noticed that. She has been watching what faith looks like in real life, and she has seen it in them. So from the deepest part of my heart—thank you, The Paddock. Thank you for being a place of love and safety. Thank you for the women who serve there and pour into others so selflessly. Thank you, Sam, Tanya, Haylee, and Valetta, for the kindness, compassion, and generosity you showed my daughter. Thank you for helping shape who she is becoming. Thank you for loving her so well. As we leave, please know this: your impact is lasting. What you have poured into Shelley Rose and me will stay with us for the rest of our lives. We will never forget The Paddock, we will never forget the women who made it feel like home, and when we can, we’ll be back to visit. With love and gratitude, Brent & Shelley Rose”

“Hadnt been here in a while things had gotten slack but just ate here this morning and the biscuits were brown and hashbrowns were as well and both were hot. Looks like coming back to food quality we knew!”

“It's a good solid place for real Mexican tacos and burritos. The al pastor has actual chunks of pineapple in it. The asada is flavored correctly. There is a variety of salsas. My favorites are the fire and the mango habanero. Good solid authentic food.”

“Tonight ordered a #8 Mike's Way and it was excellent!”

“We ordered takeout and the food was ready promptly. The person, who gave us the order, reviewed the order including the customization of the pizza. The pizza, wings and sandwiches were all correct and very delicious.

Good service, good food and reasonable prices. A great pizza joint!”

“Ordered 2 of the Tokyo fried rice meals for myself and my mom via doordash. For the price, I would not recommend that dish. The steak was too tough to even chew, the chicken was just ok, the shrimp were delicious. The rice had a good flavor. I will come in and try some of the other dishes though.”

“Great tasting food.Homestyle atmosphere, gift shop, and the biscuits and cornbread muffins.”

“The only place we eat out! We love the food, especially my kids! Definitely recommend. Everything is delicious!”

“Went there to attend a wedding . very large room for Wedding and Reception. They have a full bar and 2 big screen TVs with 2 different ballgames going. They had a playroom for kids!! It was a rainy day so wasnt outside much but Guist Creek runs along side the building. Great photo opportunities there was just too ill to take any today. Next time!”

“This place is amazing! We had it tonight and loved every bit! I highly recommend the steak tacos, best ones I’ve ever had in shelbyville! We will definitely be going back. The customer service was amazing and flavors were great! 10/10!”

“I arranged for DT and his wife to bring their BBQ truck for an employee appreciation day at our organization. All people talked about on Monday was the amazing food from the weekend event. We had fried chicken, pulled pork, smoked chicken, burgers/hotdogs, baked beans, green beans, potato wedges, mac & cheese, and potato salad. Every item was delicious!”

“This is the best Long John’s Silver’s. The people that work here make this better than any fast food restaurant around. They are always friendly and it’s always so clean. The food is always great whatever we get.
Make sure you ring the bell 🛎️ on your way out because these employees work very hard . Amazing LJS in Shelbyville Ky”

“Friendly staff and generous amount of pecans in the waffle I had.”

“Best chicken fingers and fries in Shelbyville. I love it. Love the Zaxby sauce. Always a homerun. yum!”

“My daughter used a Christmas gift card there and the lady working was so kind and patient as my daughter made up her mind on what to get and the lady answered all her questions. She made my daughter feel so special. My daughter loved the cream cheese croissants. The new layout of the Kroger store is much better and friendlier for starbucks customers.”

“Eat here all the time, some of the micro aggressions in these reviews is really sad, especially in this county. So no wonder the service isn’t really that pleasant if they still have to face racism. Food tho, is honestly one of the best places to eat at, order over the phone and then drive to pick it up. IT IS ALWAYS CHICKEN/ PORK/ BEEF. No other source of meat is used, even if it was, pretty sure thats the wrong culture anyway. Sorry about that just really, really hate bigotry. If you want 100% “meat” *wink* go eat at your local McDonalds.”

“These onion rings are delicious. I didn’t see them on the menu last time I was there don’t know if it was a mistake or if they’ve discontinued him I hope not those on the rings are a believably good”
