    Dee's YUMMY Double Bacon Cheeseburger
    Sue A.

    Just about a stones throw from the West Virginia border in Louisa, KY is this hidden little gem with all kinds of yummy goodness and friendly, helpful staff. My husband had Dee's Double Bacon Cheeseburger with a side of Onion Rings and Potato Salad. As I wasn't very hungry, I ordered a plain burger with tomato only and a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. If I'd ordered 2 burgers, I would have eaten them both. They as well as my mashed potatoes were flavorful and positively delicious. At one point I looked up and saw that my hubby's cheeseburger had vanished into thin air, yes indeed he was a very happy camper with his meal as well. We missed the opportunity to try their raved about milkshakes but fully intend to rectify that on our return trip! The front desk clerk at our hotel who had told us about Dee's said it has been around as long as he can remember, it was a popular hangout back when his Grandma was in high school. (Thanks Cody) We'll be back Dee!

    A Louisa staple and quite possibly the best chocolate milkshake I've ever had. Their burgers taste like one straight out of a family cookout and their cheesesticks are complete noms. Pass on the ranch, tastes like hidden valley and I was honestly hoping for something more homemade. They have a drive up where your food's delivered to you or you can go in and eat. Such a picturesque little hometown spot. Totally recommend.

    My lunch today!!

    Very friendly staff and food was good. It is made in behind counter but you can watch your food being made. They have daily specials such as chicken and dumplings, country fried steak, and etc.. Also hamburgers and hot dogs with several choices of ice cream.

    Dee's is as old-school and small-town as it gets. I was traveling for work, and while I'm not adverse to chain fast food in the least bit, there are just so many dubious McDonald's and Subways inside fuel stations that I can take before my stomach flip-flops in rebellion (I didn't even stop and eat at any of these places, but that is ALLLLL I saw as potential meals during the long commute). I decided to try Dee's (which I'd actually seen on someone's Instagram account), which is a local favorite, over 50 years old and still busily operating in its original location on Main St., and has the reputation as being NOT fast food, just food fast. I parked (parking is LIMITED, and the ingress/egress situation ain't great, but it's in a small downtown, so traffic isn't too bad), and decided to eat inside, where I ordered at the counter and they call your name when your order is ready. Again, old school: handwritten notes on numbered tickets; handwritten menu signs; all-female staff cook your order fresh (so it takes a little but longer than a typical fast food joint); country favorites like soup beans with raw chopped onion and cornbread, breakfast all day, hot dogs, burgers, shakes and pie. The food is quite cheap, so order up to avoid the $0.50 surcharge on all credit transactions less than $7. I had crinkle cut fries with a side of cheese dip, two hotdogs with their "famous" chili dog sauce + onions and mustard (hey, I was HUNGRY! And the portions aren't huge), and a caramel-chocolate milkshake. Overall, the food was very fresh and I thought downright yummy. I really liked the chili dog sauce, it is the kind I am used to eating growing up in small town KY: beanless, meaty, forkably thick, without a hint of sweetness - almost like a sloppy joe filling (sorry, Cincinnati - I love your Graeter's, Busken, and Saratoga chips, but I just can't dig your chili). I really liked my meal at Dee's, it was cheap and satisfyingly home-y. I would definitely recommend eating here instead of the other chain fast food joints littering the area in abundance.

    Lollie's Sweet Treats is an in home bakery located in the mountains of Morehead, KY. It is owned…read moreand operated by Angela Fuller. She specialize in small batch cupcakes, but also offer custom birthday, wedding and shower cakes. If you cakes aren't your thing, then they offer a boat load of other goodies too. Such as...meringue pies, sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, hand pulled cream candy, fudge, and chocolate dipped caramel apples just to name a few. She hand makes all of her baked goods and sugary sweets out of her house and there fore doesn't have an official storefront. She usually requires a day or two advance notice to be able to fulfill most orders, but that goes with any at home bakers. In my opinion, it is worth the wait. Lollie's Sweet Treats has recently became a Kentucky Proud and Appalachian Proud member. Anytime I need cupcakes or cookies, I always give her a call. You should too. Tell her Chad Sent you.

    Very good donuts!…read more When we walked in it was crowded and had a few people in line. They had a good selection of donuts, both in types and amounts of each. After we walked in, a fire truck pulled up, and the lady stopped helping the line to help the firefighters - although I had kids in the car and was in a hurry - it felt very small town, and that somehow added to the appeal. We got a dozen donuts including blueberry cake, devils food, honey dew, buttermilk, Boston cream, banana cream, cinnamon powdered sugar, strawberry cream, and some other one I can't remember the name of. They were all very tasty! The creams were generous, flavorful and a great texture and the powdered toppings were strong and packed on! My typical go-to are blueberry cake and devils food/chocolate cake, and they were just okay, but the rest were absolutely worth trying! Interestingly, they do a baker's dozen (13 not 12) but the 13th donut is chosen from a separate case with options that are different than the regular donut options and at other places would cost more like cinnamon rolls, apple fritters, specialty long johns, etc. we found that fascinating, as I tried to get one as part of my dozen and they said those are the free ones instead. I don't usually eat sugar, so trying donuts on this vacation was a big stretch for me, but these were absolutely worth it! If you're ever in the area and want a treat that's both authentic and tasty, Jolly Pirates is the place to try!

Everything we tried was soft, fresh, and flavorful without being overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You can tell this is the kind of place that's been doing things the same (and doing them well) for a long time. The prices were also surprisingly great, and had they been listed, I would have purchased a lot more. It's a small, old-school bakery that's clearly been a local favorite for generations, and that charm is part of what makes it special. That said, as first-time visitors, it was a little tough to navigate. Nothing is labeled, no menu, no prices, so we had to ask a few questions and rely on recommendations. Maybe it was just a busy Saturday morning, but the young woman helping us didn't seem thrilled that I was taking photos and asking about the pastries. I get that most of their customers are probably regulars who already know what they want, but for those of us just passing through, a little guidance (and patience) would go a long way. Even with that experience, I'd still recommend stopping by. The pastries really are that good, the prices are fair, and it's the kind of nostalgic, old fashioned bakery that's getting harder to find these days.
