Somebody has a green thumb at Green River Bait Shop 2015-10-07 - Green River Bait, 5240 Knifley Road, Columbia (Egypt), KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Somebody at Green River Bait Shop has a green thumb all the way up to their elbow. Didn't find out which proprietor is responsible - Lois or Kenneth Janes, but the blossoms are stunning. Yesterday, the Janeses told us they have now been in business there continously (except for a few months when Lois took a town job), since May of 1981 - over 34 years now. Quite a record. It's a clean, well-lighted place, with consistent service and a consistent menu, consistent hours, and consistent prices. Our favorite menu item there is the Pork BBQ sandwich, with lettuce, onion, and tomato and pickle on a soft bun. It's more like the Merle "Pete" Reed Dairy Queen BBQ sandwiches than any we can remember. Just remember to have deep pockets if you go. Our two sandwiches - the other tuna fish like you could get at great drug store counters of yore - a slice of pizza, a soda, a mini York Peppermint Patty to split for dessert, and a gallon of water, was almost $9! - practically half of what that much food would have cost most anywhere else, but well worth it. - EW Permalink | Comments?
