Welcome to the Dragonfly Outdoor Cafe, a charming gem nestled along the serene Treasure Cove in Greenup, KY. This delightful cafe invites you to experience a culinary journey infused with local flavors and vibrant atmosphere. It’s not just a place to eat; it's a sanctuary of taste where the natural beauty of the surroundings complements the delicious offerings.

The moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the scent of homestyle cooking and the friendly smiles of the staff, all dedicated to making your visit memorable. As you settle in, prepare your taste buds for a selection of delectable dishes that celebrate both creativity and comfort. The cafe is particularly renowned for its Fried Green Tomato BLT—a delightful twist on a classic that perfectly captures the essence of Southern cuisine. Each bite of the crispy, tangy fried green tomatoes evokes a sense of warmth, while the juxtaposition of juicy bacon and fresh lettuce creates a symphony of textures. Customers rave about this dish, with many claiming it's the best they’ve ever tasted. Eden Hughes, a devoted patron, even exclaimed, “Super friendly people that make the best fried green tomato BLT you will eat!”

If you're in the mood for something a little lighter, try the Fish Tacos, made with wild-caught cod that's hand-battered and fried to golden perfection. These tacos are served with a refreshing spring mix, providing the ideal balance of crunch and flavor. Kelsey Purnell couldn't help but share her love for these tantalizing tacos, noting the cafe’s impressive array of offerings that also includes the new Black Bean Tacos and Chipotle Chicken Salad Sandwich. With such an eclectic menu, each visit promises to uneart a new favorite dish.

Pair your meal with a cold beverage from their selection of sodas, or indulge in a local favorite, Ale8, for a true taste of the region. The simplistic and inviting layout of the cafe, coupled with its outdoor seating option, allows you to soak up the lovely views of the Little Sandy River while enjoying your meal.

But don’t just take our word for it—Jill Donta highly recommends the desserts, calling them "great" and emphasizing that "everyone should try this place out!" If you’re searching for a cozy spot with a menu bursting with flavor, Dragonfly Outdoor Cafe is not to be missed. Geoffrey Potts sums it up perfectly: “If you like fried green tomatoes, DO NOT MISS THIS CAFE! Worth every penny.”

In addition to the culinary delights, the cafe's idyllic setting makes it a perfect stop for adventurers and nature lovers. With easy access to kayaking on the Little Sandy River and the breathtaking gardens surrounding the cafe, your visit can easily transform into a full day of fun and exploration.

Always fresh food and friendly staff! We love their Fish Tacos and Fried Green Tomato BLT, but we’ve recently fallen in love with their new Black Bean Tacos and Chipotle Chicken Salad Sandwich . Talk about food cravings!! It’s just a good thing they’re only open Fri-Sun or we’d be there everyday!! Would give 6/5 ⭐ if it were possible!!

This experience was absolutely awesome. The river on which you kayak (Little Sandy River) was beginner friendly. They also have some very kind owners and just an overall beautiful property! There is an incredible garden and a food truck with some great options. I'd recommend, especially for the price!

Love everything I’ve ever had from here!! The staff is so friendly and helpful. The fried green tomatoes and fish tacos are the best around!! Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won’t be disappointed. Then grab a drink at the brewery while you eat!

If you haven't been- you've got to check this place out! Food is freshly prepared, you can tell these people care about their menu and the food they're creating. The burger was fantastic, hot, crispy fries. You have to try the fried green tomatoes with the chipotle mayo! I was dipping everything in that sauce! Cool local eatery, great vibes and fantastic food! Go check them out!

I've tried just about everything on the menu at this point and nothing has disappointed. The fried green tomatoes are my go to. I crave them. Perfectly fried every single time. The chipotle dipping sauce has just enough spice too. The fish tacos are great and filling. The BLT with fried green tomatoes is such a fun twist on the classic. My daughter absolutely loves the hot dogs and the grilled cheese.
