There’s an unspoken law of the food universe, wherein the more unassuming a restaurant is, the better its food. This is most certainly the case with Poppy’s, a hole-in-the-wall general store in the small town of Bedford, Kentucky. This humble little market has only been in business for a handful of years, but it’s quickly become the place to be in Bedford… and not simply for its selection of goods and wares. You see, Poppy’s has a secret, and it’s one that might ruffle a certain Colonel’s feathers! Poppy’s isn’t simply a winsome little general store; it’s also home to some of the best fried chicken in Kentucky.
Poppy’s General Store opened in 2015; a much-needed all-purpose store for residents of Bedford, Kentucky.
