If there’s one thing you can always find in the small towns throughout Kentucky, it’s a home-cooked country meal. Many local restaurants cater to our cravings for meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and a slice of pie, and they are often served up in a welcoming, family-friendly environment. Kentucky’s love of country cooking is as strong as its love for its history, and the two come together at Cloud’s Country Cooking in Harrodsburg. Kentucky’s oldest city is home to a mouthwatering country restaurant that you have to try the next time you’re in the area.
Cloud's Country Cooking is a family-owned restaurant just outside of Kentucky's oldest city. Harrodsburg locals and visitors to the area love exploring its beauty and history, and Cloud's is a great place to stop for a homemade meal during your excursions.
The Cloud family has been serving the community for quite a while now and is a local favorite, but the restaurant is also ideal for those who are just passing through. It's located in the corner of a larger building and is easy to get to, as it sits just minutes from downtown Harrodsburg.
The interior of the dining room is just what you'd expect in a country restaurant. Cloud's is open for lunch and dinner on Tuesday through Saturday and for lunch on Sunday.
The menu is perfectly sized and includes all of your comfort food favorites. Every single craving will be satisfied here, and be sure to check for the special of the day. Friday's special is fried catfish, which starts at just $7.99, or you can get all-you-can-eat for $13.99.
The rest of the menu includes entrees that you'll only find at a true country restaurant and evokes memories of Sunday suppers with Grandma. Roast Beef Manhattan is perfect with a glass of iced tea and will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
If you visit for lunch or prefer something lighter, Cloud's also has a variety of sandwiches and salads on the menu. You may want to pair one with an appetizer of fried pickles or green beans.
While Cloud's is not open for breakfast, they do have one classic option on the menu if you are really craving a morning meal. Three eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast always seem to hit the spot.
And what's a trip to a country restaurant without a slice of pie? The Buttermilk Pie is a classic choice, but Cloud's also offers a number of other homemade treats. Ask for one to go as you head out from this dining destination in Kentucky's oldest city.
Cloud’s Country Cooking is just a good, old-fashioned country restaurant that serves up all of the classics in a relaxed environment.
