This Small-Town Diner Has The Best All-You-Can-Eat Fried Catfish In Kentucky
Here at Only In Kentucky, we have a lot of love for our small towns. Not only are our small-town Main Streets the heart and soul of the Bluegrass State, but it’s often within these little locales that you’ll find the best restaurants, too. Take Clarkson, Kentucky, for example. This town might only have 1,500 residents, but it’s home to a big, all-you-can-eat hidden gem diner that serves the best fried catfish in Kentucky.
K's Cafe in Clarkson, Kentucky, is the very definition of a small-town diner. It's located right on Main Street, a sleepy little strip that's the heart of the town.
Not only that, but the fried catfish from this Kentucky diner is often (drumroll, please) all-you-can-eat! And while many all-you-can-eat specials are batch-cooked in advance, K's Cafe always fries their catfish to order, ensuring only the best for customers!
In addition to the fried catfish, K's is also known for their epic breakfast and brunch plates, which are cooked on the trusty flat top grill located right behind the counter!
You'll also find a plethora of other Southern-inspired plates on the menu at K's, from meatloaf and chicken livers to black eyed peas, collard greens, and fried cornbread.
