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!”

“This was our fifth time eating at a Cattleman's restaurant, and it is always good. The reason I only gave this restaurant 4 out of 5 stars was because of the bad potato salad on the salad bar. It is usually really good but this time something was ruined.

The rest of the experience was great we had a friendly waitress who did a great job! The rest of the food was perfect! My fiance had a steak, medium rare cooked to perfection, and a baked potato with the salad bar.
While I ordered the bbq chicken breast with rice and the salad bar.
My son also had a steak but with fries and no salad bar. The rolls were awesome, and the mozzarella cheese bites were amazing!
We all had enough to eat and brought the leftovers home.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant!”

“I found this gem of a coffee shop in downtown Shelbyville a block away from an Airb&b we stayed at. 1. Great tasting espresso 2. Friendly staff 3. Cool vibe and plenty of space to hang out and 4. I loved their mission partnering with a local non-profit called Wake Ministries. If I’m ever back in Shelbyville I defiantly will stop in again.”

“Great coffee, & bagels, with excellent customer service! But very LOUD…not a place to gather for a staff meeting, just get it & go!”

“I visited Hometown Pizza in Shelbyville, KY with my grandsons and my daughter and had an amazing experience. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with a friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. It’s conveniently located in the heart of Shelbyville, with easy access and plenty of parking.

The menu offers a wide variety of pizza options, along with pasta dishes, salads, and subs. I decided to try their signature Hometown Pizza, and it did not disappoint. The crust was perfectly crisp, the sauce was flavorful, and the toppings were fresh and generous. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, and the portion sizes were great for the price.

The staff at Hometown Pizza are very friendly and attentive, making sure everything was to my satisfaction. The service was quick, and I didn’t have to wait long for my food, which is always a plus. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall positive experience.

Whether you’re craving pizza for lunch or dinner, Hometown Pizza in Shelbyville is a great choice. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend giving this local gem a try.”

“This staff is always friendly, restaurant is clean, food comes out fast, hot and fresh. There are plenty of condiments available in the dining area and napkins on the table. This LJS is how they all used to be, but hard to find one like this anymore. You can't ask for more than this out of a fast food joint.”

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

“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.”

“Place was mobbed early Sunday afternoon and the staff handled it like a well oiled machine. Friendly but fast. Courteous but studious. Best fast food experience in a long time”
