Panther Creek Park in Owensboro, Kentucky

Panther Creek Park in Owensboro, Kentucky
Panther Creek Park, which offers 30 acres of wooded wetlands, is one of many cool places to spend a day in Owensboro, Kentucky. The pictures, below, were taken by a few of my favorite people in the world – my daughter Emily and her boyfriend Dill. It was a cool spring day when they last visited the park – judging from the look on Dill’s face, it may have been a little too cool for him (the boy hates cold weather about as much as I hate decaf).

Thanks Em and Dill!

Panther Creek Park is located at 5160 Wayne Bridge Road, Owensboro Kentucky.  Click HERE for directions.

Real Hacienda Mexican Restaurants in Owensoro Kentucky: Outstanding Every Single Time

Real Hacienda Owensboro (on Frederica)

One of my favorite Authentic Mexican Restaurants in Kentucky is Real Hacienda in Owensboro, Kentucky. Lucky for me, we actually have two locations and they’re both extraordinary.

My daughters Brittany and Stephany and I simply can’t get enough when it comes to Mexican food – so the workers at the Real Hacienda’s know us on sight.  They’re always extra friendly and love to cut up with their regular customers. Their friendliness adds to the entire experience.  They’re always happy, having fun, and treat you like a welcomed guest.

As for the food, can you say, “Heavenly“?!  When we go for lunch, I alternate between Grilled Chicken tacos (hard shell and soft shell are both delicious),  Bean Burritos, cheese enchiladas, and Chalupas.  They’re always fantastic and I always get a side of rice or refried beans with my meal. The refried beans are fantastic – unlike anything you can ever achieve at home – and the rice is some of the best rice I’ve ever had in the world. Holy cats is it ever good!

We often get a side of Pico de Gallo and/or guacamole as well and a bowl of cheese dip to share is a must. Their cheese dip is so fantastic, you’ll want to bathe in it. It’s the best cheese dip in Kentucky – heck, maybe even the world.

For supper, I have a complete, unapologetic fixation on Pollo Loco – so I don’t venture too far from that.  The chicken is always perfect and is served with the fantastic rice and a guacamole salad. There are tons of options to choose from for lunch and/or supper. Believe me, you’ll have a tough time choosing from all the delicious options.

As if perfect food and friendly workers weren’t enough, the prices are completely reasonable AND the decor is so beautiful, you won’t be able to quit looking around.

Oh! Did I mention the Fried Ice Cream?! No??? Probably because I want to keep it all to myself.

Real Hacienda’s Owensboro Locations:

  • 3023 Highland Pointe Dr (Off of Highway 54 – near Logan’s, Wendy’s, and Culver’s)
  • 4820 Frederica St (In the old Johnny B’s Pizza location)
