Porky Pig Diner
A family-run country diner in the village of Pig on the park's southern edge. Fried chicken, fried catfish and biscuits with gravy are cheap and filling.
Located in the village of Pig on Park Boundary Road at the park's southern border, part of Smiths Grove, about 10 minutes' drive from the cave area. This family-run country diner serves mainly Southern home cooking: fried chicken, all-you-can-eat fried catfish, roast beef Manhattan, and biscuits with sausage gravy. Breakfast includes pancakes and bacon, and there was a buffet on Sundays at one time. No alcohol is served. Expect about US$10–15 per person. Hours often change, so it is best to call ahead before setting out.
