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!

Single patty Outlaw burger was exceptionally fresh and delicious. If one desires to fill one's tum while plotting your bourbon experience, this is the first place to stop. Followed by a trip across the street to the famous Evergreen Liquors to contemplate life, the universe, and the finest spirits distilled in the world. Bon Appetit and Bottoms Up!

This past Saturday, October 24th, we stopped in for dinner as we often do. We were seated toward the back of the restaurant, which was a little disappointing at first, as we have always preferred one of the booths. However, what started as a slight disappointment turned into one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we've had in quite some time. Our server, Tyler, was absolutely delightful! He was courteous, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the restaurant's updated menu. He patiently answered our questions, offered helpful suggestions, and made us feel as though we were his only guests, despite having other tables to attend to,What made the evening particularly memorable was a conversation we had about the history of the building. When Tyler learned that we were planning to explore the downtown ghost trail after dinner, he took a few moments to share a fascinating story about the ghost of J.R. Neighbors. It was such a thoughtful, personal touch and something my husband and I continued talking about long after we left. I am not typically one to write restaurant reviews, but I believe exceptional service deserves recognition. It is refreshing to encounter a young gentleman who demonstrates such professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The food was wonderful, as it usually is, but Tyler's outstanding service is what truly made our evening special. We certainly look forward to returning, and I hope the management at J.R. Neighbors recognizes what a wonderful asset they have in this young man. A lovely evening all around!

I've eaten catfish in a lot of places. This was hands down leaps amounts better than any I've ever had. I got collard greens, and lima beans with it. They make everything from scratch right down to the tartar sauce. I'm not a tarter sauce fan and I used it on my cat fish. It's good home-cooked food.

Fact is - super skinny style potatoes need to be served fresh & piping hot. Yet every time we've been here, they are cold & flavorless. One more thing - your ice cream & custard & shakes etc. are good and all, but they lack consistency. We've yet to get two of the same concretes that were made the same.

Last time we went, we called to make sure they were open. They said yes, so we left and drove straight there, only to find out that they had "decided to close early because business was slow" in the 30 minutes between our phone call and us getting there. We decided to give it one last chance today. We checked the website, which said open until 9 pm. We called to verify and got put on hold for 10 minutes. We ended up deciding to just drive there. We get to the window at 6:03 and they inform us that they stopped serving food at 6:00!! First of all, you could make food 3 minutes ago, but you can't make food now? Second of all, you're telling me you stop serving dinner at dinner time? Ridiculous I like this place's food but it is simply not worth the hastle of driving all the way there only to find out that they are closed, even when it is within their business hours. It has become such a regular occurrence that my family will not be making the trip out there anymore. Sorry Lakers but you've lost some long time loyal customers because you simply can't be open when you're supposed to be.

Her fries came out fresh and seasoned. Her sandwich was the best gyro we have had in Louisville. I ordered the Sparta bowl lunch portion. Fresh, flavorful, and balanced. Nothing negative to say. Overall. If you have not been here you should make time to visit. Nobody is perfect so here is my minor nitpick. I ordered a Sparta bowl and did not get a fork. I walked back up and grabbed one. If that is the worst problem they have, they are doing something right. I look forward to going back.
