Reviews for Spelunkers Cafe and Ice Cream Parlor in Mammoth Cave, KY

Not many food options out near the Cave visitors center. It did the trick, fed us before cave spelunking. Hamburgers, hotdogs,... sandwiches, chips, snacks, sodas, etc. a little pricey but with few options in the area we didn?t have much choice. Read more

Eh. They didn't have chocolate ice cream. We did get two scoops of vanilla for 7 bucks. So, it's ok for overpriced basic cheap... food. Read more

We stopped here for a quick bite before going into the caves. You go over the bridge from the Mammoth Cave Vistor Center to... reach the Cafe. We got a pre-made egg salad sandwich for $8. Naturally, food and drinks are overpriced to take advantage oftourists. Despite having to pay a lot for a sandwich, it was delicious. Staff were also friendly. During the coronaviruspandemic: They have social distancing indicators in place. Traffic is one-way. Enter through one set of doors and exit throughthe next. Seating indoors is limited, but there are a lot of places to sit and eat outside, too. Read more

These ladies were so wonderful and helpful to make certain that we had Celiac friendly gluten free food. They even make phone... calls. The burgers were awesome and the ice cream was the best. Really great service and some of best gluten free food on ourvacation in the past week. Read more

We stopped here for some ice cream after our first cave tour. They had some nice options and toppings and the ice cream was... delish. It was a nice setting right in the park at the visitor center and a refreshing bite after a great cave tour on a hot hotday! Read more

A welcome respite from the heat. Why not reward yourself with a sandwich (pre-made) or better yet Chaney's family owned ice... cream. I received a generous dip of Big Red Rumble with velvet cake and chocolate. Surprisingly mild (I was expecting a veryrich flavor) but nonetheless very creamy and ultimately satisfying. Plenty of seating though you may have to be patient in theice cream line. Read more

We ordered 2 cheeseburgers($7.00 each) and an all beef hot dog(3.95). And it took 21 minutes to cook them. Even if they were raw... it takes 12 minutes tops to cook a burger, BUT the burgers were the size of a standard coke can, and thinner than my pinkyfinger nail. I used my own finger and my dads Coke he bought to make those measurements. Can?t comment on the ice cream, butseeing as it isn?t made in house im sure it?s delightful. Oh... and the cookies were hard. Read more

Food is basic deli fare, pricing is reasonable, and is good for a quick meal. A nice place to relax after hiking.
