Colby's Deli & Cafe — Restaurant in Owensboro

Today we made the short trek from Newburgh to Owensboro to hang out, shop, etc. We had lunch at Colby's Deli and Cafe.

I don't even care about price. They can charge what they...

He could not have been nicer. Said he was born and raised in Owensboro and gave us several recommendations of things to...
