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!

The service is on point and fast. The order was correct, and the staff went the extra mile and were friendly. I have tried the original burger it was great. However, the Burnout sauce is the BOMB! I recently tried the Hot Maui thinking it would be spicy of some sort, but it wasn't :( However, it was still good. The relish is . The Philly steak is my overall fav first two times was Amazingly delicious but the last time, it was bland, and the cheese wasn't melted also seemed like a smaller portion.

I tried to like this place, alas no. Paper plates and…read moreplastic knives and forks so thin they're not up to the job. I had the pork shoulder plate and the bright spot was the pork, seasoned to perfection and cooked just right so the fat was rendered. Sadly somewhat tainted by having to roll it up and eat it with my hands because the knife was not capable of cutting through it. The sides were not to my taste, but that could be a preference thing. The cucumber salad was watery and tasted like pickles and the coleslaw too heavily dressed for my liking. We split a slice of mixed berry cheesecake and that was fairly nice with a thin crust. Bathrooms weren't nice and generally had a weird vibe. I wont be back.

The little white building on 4th Street still wears its vintage RC Cola sign like a badge of honor, and the moment you push open the door, that familiar sizzle of burgers hitting the oil hits you like a hug from your childhood. We slid onto the stools at the old horseshoe counter, the same one I remember from when I was a kid, and watched the magic happen right in front of us. Patties kissed with bread for that impossibly soft center, fried in the shallow oil until the edges turned perfectly crisp and golden. My cheeseburger arrived "unsquoze," glistening and glorious, layered with that signature tangy sauce, crisp pickles, and onions that somehow make everything sing. One bite and I was twelve years old again--only this time I got to share it with my own family. The new owners have kept every bit of what made Dovie's legendary. Same perfect burgers. Same simple, soulful menu. Same feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. My kids devoured theirs with the same wide-eyed joy I used to have, and we left with full hearts and fingers still a little greasy in the best possible way. Dovie's isn't just a burger joint. It's a living piece of Tompkinsville history that still tastes like home. If you've never been, go. If you grew up on these burgers, go back. It's every bit as wonderful as you remember.

Upon entering this unique restaurant I instantly fell in love with everything about it. You just have to go and experience the nostalgia. The three sisters are so friendly, laughing and talking with everyone who enters their doors. Kaye, one of the three, and I had an instant rapport within minutes!! Now I think of all of them as MY sisters. Can't help but love them all! As soon as you taste their food you will be hooked! I've never had anything there I didn't like. Just a cheeseburger and fries lunch is heavenly! Cokes are served in little cold bottles. If you're lucky one of those beauties will whip up a dessert on the spot. Warm pie just from the oven is divine. I've brought a number of my friends there and they all liked it as well. And, of course, I'm not being paid for this review, just sharing so everyone can enjoy this epic place.........hopefully as much as I do! You'll always be wondering about the delicious food, friendly atmosphere, and those wonderful three sisters if you don't go! Tell them Debbie sent you!!!
