AMAZING FOOD that will have you craving for more. Beautiful views being right on the river. I had the drunken pulled pork quesadilla (the Stephary Ann) and my husband had two tacos- one chicken and one drunken pulled pork. Everything tasted super delicious and has us ready to come back to try more. If ever in Rabbit Hash I highly recommend! We’ve been here sooooo many times since the initial review! They are still so fantastic! OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT! All of my family from San Diego I made sure to bring them… their expressions were D@“n! And they love authentic food- and this hit right at home if not better! You all keep being awesome! I literally can’t say there is something bad or even eh on their menu. Everything is 5 stars!
Wow. I've been wanting to ride to Rabbitt Hash, KY, to give this place a try. OMG, it was worth the two-hour ride! Do it, you won't regret it. I had the Gnarly Marley BBQ sandwich, and it was the perfect ratio of meat to slaw. Also, the bacon.....out of this world delicious. I can't wait to ride there again. I'm going back to do a video review of the place.
We had such a great experience at Chef Hip E's. The food was so far beyond what I expected. The Gnarly Marley is seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! My husband got the burrito with the drunken pork, and it came smothered in green chili sauce and crema. Just amazing! A taste explosion in every bite. The portions were huge and the service fast and friendly. We ate dinner in the shade at a picnic table, and brought our own cooler with us, since the General Store had closed at 6. They had good music playing (older rock) and the vibe was very chill. We will definitely be back!
Wow! This amazing little place in Rabbit Hash, KY. was absolutely amazing in all aspects of the word. Definitely worth the drive and will visit again! Most certainly recommend!!
AWESOME BBQ and awesome people and awesome environment!!!! I love chef hippies I came for lunch and ended up hanging out till chilling in the hammock till dinner and eating a second meal there. I came up the Ohio river on a wooden ship and walked 3 miles from rising sun Indiana over to Rabbit hash and the food and fun environment was well worth the hike. Thanks Chef hippie for the AWESOME time, great food, free t-shirt, and the ride back to the ferry
Food was mouth watering. The juices at the end of the taco WAS an experience for my senses! If you have never been to Rabbit Hash before, you’re in for a treat. Hippy little town with friendly people. If you’re lucky you might get to meet their Mayor… Yes, it’s a DOG.
Had the yummy Gerald Sandwich. Very happy with it. It's a bit pricey but I can understand because Rabbit Hash is a bit off the beaten path and they are only open on the weekend. The sandwich was packed full with delicious meat too. I would definitely recommend picking something up. Lots of good sounding food on their menu. There are benches by the water as well to sit and enjoy your meal.
