There are lots of options when it comes to epic brunch spots in Kentucky. Whether you’re craving biscuits and gravy, a classic Kentucky hot brown, or sweet start in the form of a donut or pastry, you’ll find many delicious reasons to spring out of bed in the morning here in the Bluegrass. And if you’re looking for an authentic Kentucky breakfast plate with all the fixins, there’s a new brunch spot in Covington that delivers… with a heaping side of Southern hospitality.
Y'all isn't just part of the Kentucky vernacular; it's part of the very culture of the Bluegrass.
What does "y'all" mean in Kentucky? Well, it means "hi" and "welcome" and definitely "come and eat!" So pull up a seat at Y'all Cafe in Covington, Kentucky, today's feature destination.
Y'all Cafe is located right on banks of the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky's RiverCenter complex. You'll find the brunch spot next to Butler's Pantry; both restaurants are operated by Covington-based Y'all Hospitality group.
This Kentucky brunch and lunch spot features everything from omelets and avocado toast to burgers, salads and sandwiches, plus a selection of boozy favorites like local beer, bloody Marys, mimosas, and cocktails.
While you can grab a great lunch here, breakfast is by far the best meal of the day, with Y'all Cafe serving a robust menu of authentic Kentucky breakfast favorites.
Does it get more "authentic Kentucky breakfast" than Y'all's Buttermilk Fried Pork Chop Hash? Served with potatoes, a fried egg, and bacon-cheese sauce, it's a next-level remix of the Kentucky Hot Brown, and we're here for it.
Speaking of which, Y'all Cafe's Riverside Hot Brown has quickly become a fan favorite. This open-faced sandwich comes packed with smoked turkey, hickory smoked bacon, cherry tomatoes, and house-made cheese sauce, and is served on sourdough bread. Delicious!
Prefer a sweet start to your day? Try the Who Day French Toast Sticks. While Northern Kentucky's unofficial football team has a tenuous track record, these decadent breakfast sticks are always a winner... just like this delightful brunch spot in Kentucky!
