It's Located in Tollesboro, Kentucky, about 15 minutes past Maysville, Ky. which is around 1 hour and 30 minutes from Cincinnati, Ohio.
It's off of the AA Highway so it's straight drive and you make 1 Left turn and it's just down that road and you're there.
It's a beautiful scenic drive and Tollesboro is a beautiful little town.
As you come up the road off AA hwy. you will see the Cafe at the end as the road goes left & right, pull right in and you can either go to the walk-up window or eat inside, they have several tables spread out.
You should wear a mask to your table then you can take it off, and one of the wonderful waitresses will wait on you and bring a menu.
We've been here twice this week already, the 1st trip we tried the Deluxe hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mustard and ketchup.
The 2nd trip we ordered Biscuits and gravy, 3 Lil Dixie Burgers, somewhat like a White Castle burger but much better, Onion Rings and a Cheese Coney.
The restaurant is a Cozy little old local cafe, nothing fancy, just great little dive and definitely a local gem, clean inside and a newspaper to read, you can park out front if you're using the walk-up window, if going inside there is a little parking lot on the left side.
The Burger is big, thick and awesome, after 1 bite I knew I would rank it in my top 10, it's an excellent burger with a nice flavor, clearly Hand-made fresh, it tasted as good as any burger in my top 10, the toppings were fresh and the tomatoes tasted homegrown, the lettuce crisp and fresh-tasting, as good as it gets, I like to tear a piece of the beef off and try it by itself with nothing else to influence my thoughts on the flavor.
We both agreed this is one delicious burger with some of the freshest and best-tasting topping we've ever had anywhere.
On our 2nd trip my Wife ordered the Biscuits and Gravy as she is the expert on that, she said this is her new favorite anywhere she has ever had them, I tasted them and also agreed.
The 3 Lil Dixie burgers were much thicker than any white castle burger and much better, they were excellent, they were not quite as good as the big burger, but still good and worth getting.
The Onion rings were fried to a perfect golden brown and as good as any we've ever had.
The Cheese Coney was very big and good, the Chili was sweet tasting which I don't care as much from sweet chili but it was good, so unless your prefer your Chili sweet I would stick with the burgers.
They also offer a full dinner style meal and hoagies and other items and also Ice Cream.
I recommend anyone try this place the food is awesome!
