Driftwood Restaurant

Great atmosphere, wonderful service, delicious food, and the view on the patio of the lake is incredible.

wonderful food, best catfish I have ever eaten! Very clean and well taken care of, everyone is super nice and welcoming. I will be eating here every time we are out this way, just yum!!

Ate there at 5:30 yesterday, it was a buffet and it looked like a mess, at this time of day you would have expected all items to be full and looking like someone cared, that wasn't the case, looked like no one had filled items up and wiped down everything since lunch crowd, soup looked like all corn and left over for a few days and was barely Luke warm, not going back

Having the lake just down the road from us is convenient. We've enjoyed the Driftwood for years and it's still delicious. It says a lot when you have waitresses there from 20+ years ago. It's clean, offers a variety of food, and has large windows so you can enjoy the nature of KY while you eat. We have never stayed at the lodge but we do take advantage of the amenities like the golf course, lake, beach, and play grounds.

This state park restaurant has always served quality food. I been eating their for over 30 years.

I had a BLT for breakfast. It was excellent. My wife order eggs over medium with sausage and potatoes. Service was fast and courteous. We will return.

Buffett is great. Salad bar is always fresh and tasty. Highly recommend trying. Waitress are nice and friendly.

They are offering a great buffet Thursday through Sunday, I see a lot of after church crowd on Sundays so there might be a little wait to get but moves pretty fast. The menu items are all very good and the famous Kentucky hot brown is amazing.. There is a small bar area that serves the menu items Friday, and Saturday sometimes entertainment, bartender waitress is amazing. After Covid they never fully opened Sunday evening through Tuesday are closed

Delicious food at a fair price with wonderful service. Unfortunately, they are currently only open Thursday thru Sunday.

My husband and I enjoy and support our Kentucky State Parks. We spent three days in the Barren River Lake area this past weekend. The first day we tried the Driftwood restaurant for lunch. The hostess was friendly but too hurried to notice the condition of the table at which we were seated. It was wet and sticky. Being familiar with the park restaurants we were looking forward to a nice buffet lunch. I can't describe adequately the un-maintained condition of the buffet, I wish I had taken a photos. There was food everywhere but not very much in the food containers. It was so unappetizing that we had iced tea and went to another place. My husband was willing to give the Driftwood another chance the following day, this time for dinner. The dinner buffet was worse than the lunch buffet the previous day. It truly looked as though it was filled at 10am and not refilled or cleaned up from previous dinner guests. This time we ordered from the menu and it took more than 30 minutes to get a quesadilla and pork chops. I commented about the buffet to the hostess as we checked out who asked us to speak to the dining room supervisor. He apologized and gave me a card to call the park chef. We will not go there again to eat.
