Everything about this place was absolutely wonderful. I went with a friend for a dinner. We were immediately greeted and given menus. The staff was incredibly friendly. We ordered our food and it came out fairly quickly. My friend and I both ordered burgers and they were absolutely deciduous! You could tell everything was very fresh from the meat, to the bun, to the veggies on top. We both ordered the banana pudding trifle and it was absolutely delicious. Between the food and the service, it was one of my best dining experiences. We’ll definitely be back.

Everything was amazing! Greeted by the owner immediately, had a chance to even have a conversation with her as we were leaving, she is so nice. All the food was amazing! We got a burger, fries, & zucchini bites. Everything was beyond perfect. We also tried a few drinks that were amazing. They have a new drink called the spicy Paloma, I had to get 2 just because it was so good. We will definitely be returning soon!

The BEST cheeseburger in Kentucky hands down!! I swear you will make love to this burger like no one is watching. The French fries are absolute perfection. This restaurant uses fresh beef and you can taste the difference. Your tongue will slap your brains out eating it. My go-to I promise you will not regret it. They also serve cocktails made with ingredients that aren't pumped full of sugar!

This right here is a fantastic option for a local dinner option. The quality of the food is exceptional, service is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The burgers are highly recommended and the fries are excellent. My wife and I enjoyed our meal and the only crime is that we don’t eat there enough.
