Recently, my partner went to the restaurant and was told he was no longer welcome because of that past comment. The owner recognized him, yelled profanities, and called him vulgar names. This interaction was unexpected and inappropriate. Because of the owner's behavior, we won't be returning. I can't recommend this business due to how customers are treated.

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!

I had the Bacon Jam Burger and my friend had the Smokehouse Burger. Both of us had a side of fries. The food came out in about 10 minutes, which wasn't bad. My burger was delicious and the fries were excellent. My friend said his burger and fries were fantastic. They have a full bar and I really liked their decor.

One of those starters that makes you pause and say, "this place is going to be good." For entrées, our table tried a little bit of everything: the filets, the crab cakes, and the Wagyu half‑pound hamburger. Every dish hit the mark. The filets were cooked with precision, the crab cakes were packed with clean, fresh flavor, and the Wagyu burger was rich, juicy, and deeply satisfying. You could tell the kitchen takes real pride in their craft. You can buy them a round of beers if you like the food. It's on the menu! The service was excellent throughout--attentive without hovering, friendly without being forced, and genuinely committed to making the meal enjoyable. I enjoyed the atmosphere as it was not too loud and the interior decor is unique. Copper & Oak is the kind of spot that blends quality, comfort, and professionalism in a way that makes you want to come back soon. If you are in Danville check it out. .

The only thing that will catch your attention when driving by is the roadside banner mentioning "Open Fridays from 4pm-8pm" -rather poorly designed sign because for years I thought this place was open ONLY Fridays 4-8pm. Today was Friday and I had free time, so I thought I would stop in. When I approached the door, I could see that they are open daytime hours, as well. But without the banner, I never ever would have noticed this place. Anyhow, I ordered Tom's Spicy Burger and a side of onion rings. Delicious burger but neither spicy nor a "Better Burger" -especially for the price. See other reviews for burger description. Kroger's "Private Selection" frozen burger patties taste better and the package of six patties is about the same price as Tom's Spicy. Still, it wasn't bad but it was definitely more pricey than spicy. The onion rings were delicious. I would strongly recommend them as I do prefer battered rather than breaded.They were perfectly fried, great temperature, and they were the highlight of the meal. The fried pickles appetizer was a total waste of $8. Always had deep-fried battered pickle chips at other places. Here? They take a dill pickle spear and slice it long-ways before battering the thin strips and frying. I truly thought they accidentally brought me fried string beans or something. The ONLY detectable flavor was the batter and the ranch dip with the faintest, barely existent hint of dill. I might drop in another time but after a nearly $30 bill for the three items and a drink just for myself, there are other places with a better value. Jackson's comes to mind and they know how to make fried pickles much better!

    The gravy tastes identical to my mom's! Excellent home cooking and atmosphere. Best breakfast in…read moreMadison county.
