Not for foodies. Very homestyle, but not in a charming way. Everything is a bit bland (except the cake) and a bit generic. Also, the place should be cheaper than it is. It feels cheap: like a local Bob Evans. Very popular with the locals, though. You'll rub elbows with the entire community ... and not always in a good way. Horribly expensive catering. Don't bother.

Should have read Amy S.'s review before coming. We wanted a quick lunch but also sit down. When we first walked in, my boyfriend asked how I felt. I told him it was fine, kind of reminded me of my deli back home (not a cafe, this is NOT a cafe!). Then the longer I stayed, the less I felt that way. The deli back home was just so much better. This place was just so generic, limited, and overpriced. I don't know why people like this place. The cake fridge was also leaking (dessert presentation looked terrible), the whole atmosphere was just cheap.

We've been here 3 times for lunch in our week stay. Its just a great choice for a cheap, hearty, home cooked lunch! Every day they have new specials and sides that are worth trying. Definitely Recommend! YUM!

Good home-style food. Sandwiches are good size and relatively inexpensive. One sandwich ( i think it's called cambridge club) is a double-decker - should satisfy any appetite. Dinners usually offer a couple of choices of meat and a variety of sides to choose from (mashed potatoes, casseroles, collard greens, baked beans etc.). Fruit tea is awesome - be sure to try it.

Great home cooked food. We were passing through and found this place on yelp. We stopped in and I asked the server what her would recommend and he said meatloaf with hashbrown casserole and peach cobbler. I went with that and it was all delicious. If I lived near here I could see it becoming a regular spot for me. My husband had pinto beans with his meatloaf and they were great too. My daughter had mashed potatoes and baked apples with hers and raved about both. This place is a definite must try.

Great Southern Style Food, lots of Daily Specials! Very affordable with Sandwiches and several Southern Meals for under $8. Get the Mac & Cheese and Mashed Potatoes on the side.

Went here for lunch for my first time. I had a half of a turkey club & potato soup. Potato soup was really good. great flavor. Turkey sandwich was huge. lots of thin sliced turkey, didnt taste like your typical deli meat. All for $7 I'll be back!

New to the area, I tried this casual cafe. They have salads, soups, and daily specials. Grilled chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes! Yummo. Great home style cooking.

Good southern cookin! Good prices, great selection. If you're not from the south, be warned about the sweet tea. I think I went into a coma after my first glass!

Only went one time, doubt that I would return. The food was not impressive and the prices were not reasonable for the quality of food.

I was wondering why this favorite only had 2 reviews since 2010 and now I know. Only conclusion is that the quality of the food has been on a nose dive for a couple of years now. Can't say anything about the service since there isn't any. Was looking forward to the White Bean Chowder specialty and should have know better. Bean chowder should have been my first clue. If you are into watered down navy bean soup and are lucky enough to get a small piece of sliced over cooked ham, then you deserve just that. Don't expect any more from the chicken salad sandwich. Mine was thrown together so fast that the bread was pointed in different direction. A small piece of lettuce, a small scoop of chicken salad and a drink for $8.00 after tax. What a deal. Yes it was crowded and noisy, but for the life of me I don't know why.

Stopped here on the way to Nashville on a roadtrip and it was exactly what I needed! I've never been to Kentucky and I really enjoyed the food. I had the meatloaf and my gf had the chicken supreme casserole. Amazing!

Now THIS is how a small town Kentucky restaurant should be. With all of the typical cookie-cutter American chains dominating Bowling Green's restaurant scene, a local family-owned restaurant like this really stands out from the crowd. Cambridge serves authentic southern home cookin' with friendly faces and great prices (you can walk out of here stuffed for ~$7). Everything I've tried here is AMAZING. They typically have their daily specials scrawled out on a whiteboard in the entrance - I've tired their marinated grilled chicken, their meatloaf, and several sandwiches. Every single item is incredible and prepared with care. Cambridge's entrees aren't their only strength, though - they have a list of around a dozen sides. I've tried their green beans, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cinnamon apples, and sweet potato souffle - every single one is top notch. When eating here, it's easy to forget that you're not at grandma's house for a family reunion. Stop eating at chains, Bowling Green! Support this amazing family-owned, authentic Southern restaurant.
