Southern Classics with a Twist
No culinary journey through Maysville would be complete without sampling some of the region's iconic Southern classics. From crispy fried chicken and savory biscuits to hearty bowls of shrimp and grits, the flavors of the South come alive in every dish.
But Maysville's culinary scene isn't just about preserving tradition; it's also about pushing boundaries and embracing innovation. At the Parc Cafe, serving breakfast only until about 1:00 pm, diners can indulge in modern twists on Southern favorites, like smoked brisket tacos with avocado salsa or buttermilk pancakes topped with bourbon-infused maple syrup. It's a delicious blend of old and new that reflects the city's dynamic food culture.

My sister and I stayed at Moon River while we toured the historical sites of the area which are plentiful. Anyone interested in the history of this great nation should visit Maysville and the surrounding villages. Our room was spacious, our bed very comfortable, our host, Denny, Gave us good information and was very pleasant to talk to. Moon River is just a block from everything. You could not have a better location. We hope to return someday.
