But be advised that it's cash only! This is one of the most amazing burger places I have ever visited. The staff is attentive and friendly; you can not go wrong with this family-owned business. Excellent burgers made from scratch. It has been in business since 1934, so it must be doing it right. This place is regularly voted the best burger in the Bluegrass State and lives up to the hype. A perfect slice of Americana, walking into this place feels like going back in time. I had the Double Hamburger, and my wife had the Double Cheeseburger. We also had French Fries and Onion Rings. The onion rings are huge, and the breading does not fall off when you take a bite. If you are ever in Hodgenville, you must try this place!

Dearest Gentle Yelper,…read more I sincerely apologize for not providing photographs of our tasty repast. It was all too delicious to pause. Onion Rings were crunchy and delicious. Single patty Outlaw burger was exceptionally fresh and delicious. If one desires to fill one's tum while plotting your bourbon experience, this is the first place to stop. Followed by a trip across the street to the famous Evergreen Liquors to contemplate life, the universe, and the finest spirits distilled in the world. Bon Appetit and Bottoms Up!

This is honestly the best meal we have had out or takeout as far back as we can remember!!! The portions are enormous, and everything is made from scratch!!! It should be noted that the pics don't even do the size justice. He had country fried steak (phenomenal), green beans, and cornbread. I had 2 enormous pieces of the best catfish I have ever had. I've eaten catfish in a lot of places. This was hands down leaps amounts better than any I've ever had. I got collard greens, and lima beans with it. They make everything from scratch right down to the tartar sauce. I'm not a tarter sauce fan and I used it on my cat fish. It's good home-cooked food.

Lots of TVs so it makes a great sports bar. Has a wonderful server and the food came not long after my beer. Not from the area, but a quick drive in the area led me to believe there ain't much around so this place should fit your bill. Simple menu without too many options, just American staples and beer. Doubtful I'll be back at this exit but for this traveling this way it a safe place to have a meal. I kept it simple with a hand breaded chicken sandwich and fries that fit the bill.

I love their concept and what they bring to the community. Wish more restaurants were this way. Thank you so much for being so amazing and serving up delicious food!
