Bike: KTM Super Duke R
Route: Google Maps (the correct location of Laura's Hilltop Restaurant is Checkpoint B)
A friend asked if I knew any good places to eat in the Mammoth Cave area. I don't. But I've heard good things about Laura's Hilltop Restaurant in Brownsville, so I tried to try it out. That didn't work, but no worries. We did score a nice meal and enjoy a fun Sunday ride, anyway...
My buddy Mark got a bug in his helmet before we reached our second stop sign. |
We met up with my brother-in-law, Uncle B, at Smiths Grove. |
We followed Uncle B because he knows where Laura's Hilltop Restaurant is and Google Maps does not. |
Also, he's a cop, so he'll keep us out of trouble. That's my theory. |
Laura's Hilltop Restaurant. |
Apparently Laura's Hilltop closes early on Sundays (3:00pm), so we didn't even go in. I'll try again sometime, but in the meantime we doubled back to find some lunch.

Berties Ice Cream. |
Hamburger Steak Box. She wouldn't tell me what their specialty was, but she said this sold better than the Ribeye Sandwich, so I had to try it. Uncle B got the Ribeye. Thumbs up all around. |
Double Bacon Cheeseburger Box. Apparently "double" means double everything. Nice! |
We ended up at Berties because of their roadside sign mentioning Ribeye Sandwiches. Also, it was a real nice day to eat outside.
VERDICT: This place was a nice surprise. We didn't have any ice cream, but our sandwiches and fries were cooked to order and reasonably priced. I won't hesitate to stop by the next time I'm in the area on a nice day. I want a milkshake.

Back on the ferry. |
We weren't lost; we just didn't know where to go next. |
We found some real cold, real glass bottles of Coca Cola & Dr Pepper at some corner store somewhere. |
Seriously, real glass bottles! |
Everybody loves glass bottles on a hot day. |
Rocky Hill, KY |
Can you spot the county line? |
I-65. This is as close as we'll get to an Interstate on this blog. |
They don't have a whole lot in common, but all three are black and all three are fun. |
Headin' home... |
UPDATE (7/7/13): I stopped again at Bertie's, this time with most of the family after we dropped Bubby off at Camp Joy for a week or so. Little Man got his first root beer float...
Little Man wanted to stay at camp. Someday, dude... |
Berties Ice Cream. |
Berties doesn't actually sell root beer, but they'll make you a root beer float if you buy a root beer from the vending machine and pass it through the window. Works for me!
