Restaurants near Big Spring Inn Madisonville

This was our second visit, and we really enjoyed ourselves. They have it decorated for Christmas and our waiter was outstanding. We will be going back, and reservations are recommended to avoid a long wait. We had reservations both times.

The Mixer offers Southern cuisine with an elevated, sophisticated twist, and it does not disappoint. As a native of Hopkinsville, KY, their bourbon cocktail was a nostalgic delight—it truly felt like a taste of home. The star of the evening, however, was the trout dish. Cooked to perfection, it was topped with a white wine sauce that was simply chef’s kiss. The balance of flavors showcased both creativity and respect for Southern traditions. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort food with a touch of elegance, The Mixer is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

It is a nice restaurant with the beautiful view of the lake. The food was very good though a little pricey, but that is expected for waterfront 90 service was good. The music was a bit loud for conversation, but I am also getting kind of old we will go back. 

Awesome experience. Definitely will be return customer. Would recommend to family and friends.

Always a local favorite seafood restaurant. Has preferred seating available on Open Table that works every time for fast reception and seating. Always enjoy their special bread and a nice cab for starters including the stuffed mushrooms. Enjoy the salmon New Orleans entry. Attentive service every time. Will return.
