Stepping back into Dovie's after all these years felt like walking straight into a warm, delicious…read morememory. 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.

They have a venmo barcode outside, (it is $10 for parking) but I couldn't get it to work, so I went inside. It was packed! But I did manage to pay and get a receipt to put on my dashboard. They told me I could get $5 off my purchase if I showed my receipt. However at the register they said that promotion was over. In the end, they honored it, so I appreciated that. We had the banana pudding and peach cobbler and an ice cream. The ice cream was purchased separately, so we got it immediately. But it took at least 20 minutes for the pudding and cobbler. At one point, I jokingly said to my daughter "are they making it right now"...and they I think they were. The vanilla wafers on the sides and bottom were crunchy, not soggy. It is one of the better banana puddings I've had lately. Definitely recommend it! The cobbler was warm but not what I was looking for. They have a ton of local made products and the bathroom was very clean. Their sign advertised Farm to Table. If we get out that way again I would definitely give their menu a try.

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.

3.5 stars. Agree with other reviewers - this is an interesting place…read more Our first time in was an adventure - not in a bad way, just in a 'well that's different' kinda way. All service is conducted at the walk up bar. Drink and food orders both are placed there. Then you try to find a table, totter over with your drinks, hope the table is level and not wobbly, and try not to spill your beer before your food arrives. Fine, whatever, its a brewery. All good. The beer options were plentiful and flavors were ok, nothing to scream from the mountaintops about, but nothing overtly offensive (unless you're one of those weirdos that claim IPAs taste good - your tastebuds are broken or you're trying too hard to 'be cool' around other IPA lovers - LOL), but I digress. The food itself was what was odd, and honestly on reflection, we'd prob not get food there again - just stop in for drinks only. The fries were little potato stick strips with minimal seasoning, but the wings were what was weird. We opted for a buffalo-style tossed sauce, and it was clear they were trying to house-make their own version of buffalo, but alas - it was terrible. Just off, whatever flavor they were trying to go with. Chicken wing buffalo sauce is literally only 2 ingredients, hot sauce and butter, so I'm not real sure how you can mess it up that bad, but it just flat wasn't good. "But it's a beer shop!" Ok, but they still serve food, so shouldn't both be good? Oh well, we'd come back for a pint, but not food. I leave it there.
