    The food was really good, but the service was very slow and impersonal. BBQ was excellent, sides were delicious too, and the BBQ sauce at the table was good. They have letters on the top but without an explanation we just had to try them all to see what they were. "G" was on the NC Style, "OG" was we maybe original. The plates were very well loaded up, but the waitress put them on the opposite side of the table and not near us, she did tell us to just slide them around. The decor was awesome, seats were comfy. As we left, no one at the hostess booth said anything, but a "See you next time" or "Thank you, have a great day" would have gone a long way. This place came highly recommended to us, but the service really fell flat.

    6 smoked wings (available Friday and Saturday)  They were fantastic!

    The place is small but got packed quickly! Obviously a town favorite. There is also a bar attached. The service was speedy, accurate and kind. Good for families. Food was fantastic!

    Stopped by for the first time & ordered a meal to go. Our food came out quickly (less than 7 minutes). We got pulled pork & brisket with house made mild BBQ sauce & Carolina gold BBQ sauce. Both sauces were very good. We received generous servings of the pork & brisket and they were tasty. Our sides of baked beans, potato salad & green beans were meh. We'd return here but probably skip the sides next time.

    Brisket sandwich and fries.

    If you are ever driving along Hwy 64 and hungry for some good food, don't hesitate to stop here! We enjoyed a quick lunch. The restaurant is dim lit, but it's a cozy place, friendly service, with locals chatting over lunch. The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches were great! The hot bbq sauce has the perfect amount of spice and the Carolina gold is also yummy.

    Returning customner and food is still great. Tried something new . The waitress had said the soup was brisket and noodle soup. Got that and it was so worth it . Ordered the two meat combo . Ribs and pulled pork. Are the two sides could not finish the rest . Took it home had ribs for dinner and pulled pork the other night. Plenty of booths and tables . Waitress was very friendly and helpful, still recommend eating here.

    Picked this place on a whim as we were passing through town, and we found a gem! Come-as-you-are, super casual atmosphere with very fast service. Both of our entrees were delicious and a great price. Will definitely return if we are in the area again!

    Dark indoor seating, fries cooked to a good crisp. Homemade sauces are very indulgent. Burger is well seasoned. Styrofoam cups for sides. Toast is low quality. Burnt green beans. Ketchup with high fructose corn syrup. Sour cream comes in a small plastic pouch.

    The best I could show without being one of those weird food photographers.

    This place has a very specific ambiance. The windows have mirror tint on them, so they're clearly going for the 'always drinking time' theme. Other than that immediate reaction, there's a particular smell. I can't place it. It's like a mix between soured laundry and probably the barbecue sauce. You don't notice it after a while. I got the brisket burger, which I was told was a ground mix of brisket and hamburger, smoked for an hour. I expect they toss it back on the grill for just a few minutes to get some heat into it when ordered, because it arrived about 5 minutes after I ordered. The burger was lukewarm. If it was fresh, I think it would have been really good. It wasn't bad, but without the barbecue sauce, I think it would have been bland. It was swimming in mayo, so maybe ask for that on the side. The fries looked crispy, but were right on the edge. Better than most McDonald's at least. I smothered mine in sauce as well, and it turned out pretty tasty. The menu shows Pepsi, but they have Coke. Thanks be to the pop gods. I'm giving it a 4 because I know if my burger was fresh and the fries slightly crispier, it would have deserved that.

    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.

    I was lucky enough to try some of her cupcakes at an event. I live in Lexington, so I may not have…read moreheard about them if not for this event. They were delicious, and interesting flavor combinations. The icing was rich, but not the kind that is too much that I usually can't finish.

WHAT A BLESSING to find main courses, side dishes, dinners, lunches and snacks... soup to meatloaf... FAR MORE than I expected, and NOT ONE was a dud! The staff is always so kind -- they truly do represent the best of Boyd County! THENNNN.... LET'S discuss the "Saturday Only" donuts, and the best Cream Horns we've had across 5 states! People told us we should expect to gain 30 lbs in the first 6 months of living in KY... We kickstarted that with their treats! The cupcakes and cookies are ON POINT and their cakes won't do you wrong either. They even have Dog Treats made from scratch and several flavors of handmade fudge! If my A1C scores go up I'll have to make LESS trips to this place, but for now??? Like I told my husband-- "just know-- if it kills me-- I DIED HAPPY!"

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.
