I would have to put another vote in for Patti's. The kids love the atmosphere and if your wives are coming they will love the shops. I would say a reservation would be a must also. I would also highly recommend about anything at Fast Eddies on Hwy 68. It is a local bait store with a resturant attached that has a killer breakfast sandwich. They also have great burgers and pizza. (little hint) If you call ahead (10 Minutes) they will have your order ready to go either on the way to the lake in the morning or on your way home in the evening. I know you said country dining but I wouldn't hesitate to try some of the BEST authentic Italian dining around at Mama D's on Hwy 62 in Calvert City close to KY. Dam. It is one of those hole in the wall places with one thing on their mind great food.
