I'm from a small town in Eastern Kentucky and along with our one stop sign we had a small store Fallsburg Grocery. I was driving at the age of 13 and it was nothing for my Mom to tell me to go to the store to get thick cut bologna and Heiner's bread. I would always get a packaged creme horn. I don't recall the brand. I just know the wrapper had a bear on it and my sister and I loved them. So delicious. I'll definitely be back.

The shelves were adorned with an extensive collection of books, while other charming items lined the walls. Their menu offered a diverse range of dishes, catering to various tastes. As an avid Eggs Benedict enthusiast, my choice was an easy one. My companion opted for the breakfast bowl with bacon, and both dishes were exceptionally tasty, with well-balanced seasoning. I couldn't help but notice a steak sizzling on a lava rock, promising a delectable culinary experience. However, the service was slightly slow due to the restaurant's popularity. Despite the crowd, our waitress was incredibly kind and even offered an apology for any inconvenience caused. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast or brunch when visiting the area.

For the meal, they have a Latte menu with all sort of flavors available (hot or cold). I had the delicious breakfast wrap with gravy with banana nut bread. My husband had biscuits & sausage gravy with a long donut chaser (dessert). I loved the quaint feel of this place. It felt warmer and more inviting than most cafes I've been in. This was a great experience. The owners served the food and made sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. Chefs kiss to everything about this cafe. They did NOT disappoint.

My fiancée and I both ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon and sausage, along with a side of Frank's RedHot. It was, without question, the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. The tortilla was grilled perfectly, the eggs were fluffy and packed with flavor instead of being soggy, and the bacon, sausage, crispy tater tots, and melted cheese all came together to make an incredible meal. I can't recommend M&J Cafe enough. The staff is exceptional, the food is outstanding, and on top of all that, the prices are very reasonable. It's the kind of local place you hope to find when you're traveling. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the Ashland area.

I lived in the tristate area until I was 25 years old but somehow missed out. During the first half of the football game I kept seeing fans walking back to their seats with a container that looked like it could be ice cream. Halftime arrived and my friend and I went to grab some snacks. There it was, the Austin's sales booth. They had several options to choose from such as butter pecan, vanilla and my choice, chocolate brownie. So glad I picked this one as it was delicious! The chocolate was smooth and creamy. And who can resist hunks of brownie? Not me;) If you are in the surrounding Ceredo area and you have not tried Austin's yet, get in your car and head on over. You will not be disappointed!

It's frustrating to walk in and see employees like Carly on their phones instead of assisting customers. The contrast in work ethic is very noticeable.

How have I not reviewed this place?…read more I want to say my first visit here was in 2016. At the time I lived in Columbus and was in the Ironton/Portsmouth area to see family and had randomly found this spot when they were located downtown. Over the years I had visited and found some awesome horror items, comics, and vintage toys. It's been a few years since I've been in as I now live 4.5 hours away compared to 2.5, but was in the area on Wednesday. I had stopped in and browsed but finally tried the ice cream. I had a Wookies n Cream shake and my wife had a BB Cake cone. The punny names work well with the shop and the flavors were good. The only strike was the straw for the shake was an Icee straw vs a regular one. Staff was friendly and prices were very fair from toys & comics. Definitely a place I try to visit when I'm in the area.

The Shakery is a cool "Mom & Pops" eater with a plethora of sweet treats. There is a place to stand and order outside, a drive thru, outside seating and indoor seating. You will see people of all ages. It's really nostalgic. The environment is nice & clean. Staff is friendly and I must say they did an excellent job for as busy as they were. There sweet treats vary from classic shakes to "blizzard-like" shakes, sundaes, specialty shakes, banana splits & slushies. I chose a peanut butter shake which was so creamy and full of peanut butter flavor. SO GOOD!!!!!! Perfect consistency for dipping my French fries in. Yea...I'm one of those lol. Scarlett chose a cherry slushie. You will get your sweet treats before your food. I ordered a hamburger and she got a kids grilled cheese and fries. The kids portion is a full size cheese sandwich btw. We enjoyed our time at the Shakery. The food is made to Order so don't expect drive-thru mentality. It's worth the wait I promise.
