The Red River Rockhouse is the culmination of 15 years of dreams. Built with the help of family and friends, it is now a reality. A continuing effort helps deliver the best possible food to all those that visit the region looking for adventure and a love of nature. We cook using the best ingredients possible and create meals that are simple, approachable and delicious, bringing them to your table to enjoy. To do this we have created and maintained long lasting relationships with local farmers, ranchers, and artisans that see food the way we do. We are proud to share their products with you.

In 2014, we were recognized by the Appalachian Regional Council as being one of the top farm to table cafes in the Appalachia regions.  As featured in Traveler magazine, we are recognized as a Bon Appetite Appalachia destination.  In 2016, we were listed as a top 51 farm-to-table cafe across America. We have also been featured in three cookbooks for our some of our signature dishes. 

We are proud to have reused and recycled while building the Rockhouse.  All the trim around the doors, windows, and skylights is from a shed that was originally on the property. Our tables and counters are made by Many Moons Designs and are all reclaimed barn wood right from KY barns that they take down themselves.  We also recycle our glass, plastic, aluminum and cardboard.
