Cobbler's Café

Cafe, Tea , Coffee, Fast Food
After a morning out in Elizabethtown’s historic downtown area, walk from the public square to Cobbler’s Café for a gourmet coffee and a sandwich, pastry, or burger. The cafe opened its doors in 2004 in an old, skinny brick building built in the 1800s. The exposed brick in the interior gives the cafe a cozy, relaxed feel, and the peeling paint over the outside bricks give the building a rustic charm. Cobbler’s is now a local fixture in the community, known for its generous portions, country-style breakfast, and, naturally, its cobbler.

Mark’s Feed Store

Now with six locations around Kentucky since opening in 1988, Mark’s Feed Store is the self-proclaimed best barbecue in Louisville. Before opening his own restaurant, owner Mark Erwin ventured to western Kentucky to learn the art of barbecuing from the experts. After he learned the ropes he came back home to Louisville where he experimented with his own sauces. Mark’s Bar-B-Q is served on a sandwich, on a burger, or on a salad. Stop by the Elizabethtown branch on a Tuesday for a free kid’s meal or catch the food truck on one of its rounds.

Reuben’s Classic Deli

Deli, Italian, $$$
Reuben’s Classic Deli claims to put worries over the ‘mystery meats’ served at corporate food chains to rest with fresh deli sandwiches. Reuben’s sandwiches are bulging with toppings, including fresh deli meats from Boar’s Head meats, and the chefs even smoke their meats on-site. Daily specials are served alongside classics like the Italian meatball sub, fried bologna, and the Reuben on rye. Although eating at Rueben’s will cost you a bit more time and money than eating at a fast food chain, when you bite into your sandwich it’ll all be worth it.
