Poppy’s Is A Hole-In-The-Wall Market In Kentucky With Some Of The Best Fried Chicken In Town

There's an unspoken law of the food universe, wherein the more unassuming a restaurant is, the better its food. This is most certainly the case with Poppy's, a hole-in-the-wall general store in the small town of Bedford, Kentucky. This humble little market has only been in business for a handful of years, but it's quickly become *the* place to be in Bedford... and not simply for its selection of goods and wares. You see, Poppy's has a secret, and it's one that might ruffle a certain Colonel's feathers! Poppy's isn't simply a winsome little general store; it's also home to some of the best fried chicken in Kentucky.

Poppy's General Store opened in 2015; a much-needed all-purpose store for residents of Bedford, Kentucky.

Here you'll find fresh produce, dairy, meat, and grocery items.

And in classic 'general store' style, Poppy's also has a uniquely curated selection of wares, decor, and other specialty items.

What really sets Poppy's apart, however, is its deli. Don't pass by the deli counter at Poppy's without stopping.

Because behind this glass partition, is some of the very best fried chicken in Kentucky.

Poppy's is known far and wide for this fried chicken, which can be purchased by the bucketful, or as part of a delicious, country-style sandwich (potato salad on the side is absolutely a must!).

There's also a hot buffet at Poppy's, and it's basically a Southerner's dream-come-true!

Seriously -- people come far and wide for the hot, crispy, perfectly seasoned fried chicken at Poppy's General Store.

Of course, if you're not in the mood for poultry, the barbecue ribs here is finger-licking good, too!
