Porky Pig Diner located in the community of Pig Kentucky is a Hidden Gem. I know that sounds so cliche however, I stopped in for Breakfast this morning before heading out on a Hike at the Adjacent Mammoth Cave National Park and I was expecting the average mediocre service that most places offer nowadays and this was not what I received. In fact the waitress approached my table as soon as she saw me and asked me what I was having to drink . I had black coffee. She took my order and once again I was expecting to have to wait forever on my food which seems to be the standard nowadays, however before I could even get my phone scrolling good she had returned with my hot plate of food , I was actually noticeably surprised. I had a full order of gravy and biscuits with a side of 2 scrambled eggs along with 2 sausage patties I also grabbed a 12 ounce can of Mt.Dew to go with my meal ( all of which was very good). My coffee was replenished without having to ask and the overall service was amazing. And when it was time to pay I was thinking ( BOHICA ) the military people will get that acronym if not just Google it. But my bill was $7.90 , I had the exact same meal in Park City and it was over 15 dollars and the same Meal in Metcalfe County Kentucky it was almost 17 dollars and the quality wasn’t as good. So I do recommend that you check them out if you’re in the Mammoth Cave, Brownsville or Smiths...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at here and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and welcoming—modern but cozy, with thoughtful lighting and a great playlist that added to the vibe without overpowering conversation. The service was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations, and was attentive without being intrusive. You could tell the staff really cared about the customer experience. Now to the star of the show: the food. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. We started with the [appetizer name], which was bursting with flavor and set the tone for the meal. For the main course, I had the fried cat fish , and it was cooked to perfection—tender, well-seasoned, and paired with the most complementary sides. Dessert was a must: the chocolate pie was indulgent without being overly sweet and a perfect finish. What really stood out was the attention to detail and quality of ingredients. You could taste the freshness in every bite. It’s clear that the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Whether you're looking for a date night spot or a place to enjoy a memorable meal with friends or family, this should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be...
Read moreI absolutely love little places like this. Out of the way, mom and pop sort of businesses. Dining room is way bigger than the outside implies. Unless directed otherwise, grab a seat/table when you walk in.
Our waiter was easily old enough to be my dad, and treated us like family. He loves to chat, so you’ve been warned. Ask what the specials are. He did tell us their roast beef Manhattan was a popular choice but that you couldn’t go wrong with the fish.
My buddy and I opted for the catfish plate and were blown away by how yummy it was. Huge portions too! They dry roll the fish in seasonings and likely some sort of corn meal. Not greasy at all! So freaking good!!
Our plates came with a helping of fries and bowl of slaw. But we both made sure to finish our catfish, so the fries and slaw didn’t get finished. Oh and hush puppies too.
Looks like they serve breakfast as well, if that helps you out during the morning hours. I’d gladly go out of my way to visit Porky Pig...
