We tried this spot on our way home. The burgers were yummy. They were obviously grilled fresh. They don't come with condiments so make sure to ask for them. The fries were crispy and salty and the onion rings were super crispy and salty. They were delicious. The milkshake was ok but not amazing. In general a cute place but the service is super super slow. It took our food about 20 minutes and we didn't really have that kind of time. read more

Their burgers are the best compared to the other burgers available in Irvine, though they could be excellent with restaurant quality buns instead of bread store type buns. Also, for fast food, it's not very fast! The staff were consistently not very friendly either to us and other customers. read more

Very quick and efficient. Limited menu similar to a dairy bar. Great for a quick stop and snack!

Must have stop if you're in Irvine or passing through. Burgers of course are delicious and milkshakes too.

What an amazing little treasure! Had to work in Irvine for the last few weeks and wow I am so in love with this place. Amazing food large portions and the prices cannot be beat. I'm willing to now drive from Lexington to Irvine just to eat at The Burger Barn! Great find read more

This past food fun adventure Saturday, Fat Man Reviews visited the Burger Barn Drive-In located in Irvine, KY. Burger Barn serves severall options for a drive in, however they have no seating and only accept cash. My fiancé tried the BLT and Potato Wedges. The wedges were cooked and seasoned well, they give you a nice amount to an order. The bacon was crispy but very thin, it was served on dry toasted bread. The sandwich needed more mayo and a larger slice of tomato to bring some moisture and flavor to the sandwich. The lettuce was fine, but again the sandwich needed more of it. I decided to sample several items off of the menu. I started a Double Cheeseburger with everything on it, which includes pickle, onion, lettuce and tomato. The bun was slightly toasted, and the veggies were fresh, but it could have used mayo and some mustard. The cheese was melted well, the patties were good size, juicy and seasoned properly with a nice burger to bun ratio. I tried the Chuck Wagon, which comes with Cole Slaw as a topping. This was served on a sesame seed bun but was not toasted even though that would have been nice. The Chuck wagon was fried perfectly with a nice amount of breading, and it was a good size to the bun. The Cole slaw was wet, crunchy and slightly sweet which paired well with the sandwich. I did not know this was the topping, so this allowed the slaw to get pretty warm before I tried the sandwich, rookie mistake I reckon. The last menu item I tried was a Chili dog with cheese. The bun was fresh, and the hot dog was boiled but tasty and the American cheese was under the hot dog and melted well. The chili was very meaty, it had been cooked down perfectly, but it was a little salty. This was a fantastic chili dog, they do not make their own chili. Burger Barn offers many local and traditional burger joint favorites, such as corn dogs, tenderloin, ham & cheese, chicken sandwiches and several burgers. Everything can be made into a box. The staff is very friendly. The Fat Man says that Burger Barn Drive-In is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin. read more

Great food, great prices, wonderful people and we will definitely be going back often and this restaurant is in a beautiful little city!!!

Good burgers! Try the branch fries as well as the chocolate soft serve :) If it's lunch & you're in a hurry, call in your order to cut down on the wait. It is worth the wait! read more

Went by about 1030 AM on a weekday. They was open! I got a cheese burger deluxe and fries... took about 10 mins and cost me about 8 bucks I was 1 of 2 customers at the time. Food was hot seemed freshly made. The veggies on the burger was fresh, nice thick large tomato. Burger was pretty slammin, typical dinner style burger. Fries was hot and delicious as all properly cooked crinkle cut fries are. Try this place out, I'll be going back! read more

Good food! The burger was well made and better then most. The servers were friendly and helpful. Will stop again.

Good, affordable food. The best ice cream in town. Great management and kind staff. An Irvine staple.

Their food is always delicious and their staff always provides great service! It's a bit of a drive for us but there's something about the food, the small town and the great food that makes it worth the drive! read more

Personally I like the greasy hamburgers but my wife on the other hand does not like them That being said the service is excellent and I also do love the fries read more

Waited 40 minutes for the second time iv been here and no food.They had horrible customer service. We only had some burgers fries and 2 milkshakes. They couldn't even give us the milkshakes. It was just bad bad. read more

One of the favorite places to go in Irvine. Good and service is always great. Always a big crowd so you usually meet someone you know to have a good talk with. Best ice cream going in my opinion. read more

What a disappointment. We waited for at least and hour and 15 min for very average food. The food was all thrown in a bag so all the fries were dumped together. Wendy's would have been better and would have taken less than 15 min. read more

I LOVE this place! We recently moved here, (we lived in Mount Vernon previously), and we had a place there similar to Burger Barn, so we stopped and tried it. The food was great and the employees were just as great. There were several people there but they got the food out in a very timely manner. We will definitely be back! Be sure to bring cash as they only accept cash! read more

they have the best ice cream swirls but they include it now with lids, they used to not do that. still good place

The absolute best burgers in the state. Love their onion rings also. Great Shakes an custards with very reasonable prices. The only downside is they only take cash no debit or credit cards. read more

Bring cash! We love burger barn. A throw back kind of place. Love the chicken planks, Stromboli & long branch (seasoned) fries. The ice cream cones are gigantic! Also open late comparatively. read more

Everyone loves this place. I honestly don't know why. In all actuality it's one of the few "true" dairy bar type restaurants you see these days. The food is in my opinion, overpriced for what you get. That's part of the small town charm, I guess, paying more for "local" stuff. I'm not impressed by thier food personally, but many of the other townsfolk visit this place religiously. Burger Barn almost has an eerie cult like following. I guess it's the milkshakes, which are worth paying $4 for. The burgers, not to me. If you're feeding a car load, be ready to pop out a $50 for a so-so experience. The only seating is an outdoor picnic table beside the place. Be prepared to eat in your car. read more

Burgers are just ok, fries are frozen of course, the coleslaw is extremely runny and horrible. Service was friendly and relatively fast.

You have to try the chicken plank box. If you like Texas toast, creamy coleslaw, chicken planks, and fries, you are in for a treat. I've eaten here since I was a kid, and I've never had a bad experience. They're usually pretty quick, and you just pull up to the "barn" and wait for your order. Haven't tried the shakes lately, but from what I can remember, they're thick, cold, and delicious. Had to drop one star because they do not accept credit. read more

It was pretty good. My mom had the box meal with fries and coleslaw and I just had the fries. We both could tell the fries were frozen, but they weren't bad. My mom claims the slaw was awful. I had a milkshake, it was pretty good. And the burgers were descent and very greasy. read more

Best dang burger you'll find in Lex. It's old school. Eating outside is recommended. BRING CASH! :)

Absolutely best burger in that area. Fast service with friendly staff. It's an old fashion drive up restaurant & you guessed it - shaped like a barn. But seriously delicious food! Oh & their old fashion ice creams were amazing & such huge portions! read more

Simply the BEST Dairy Bar in the area! I always get a double decker cheeseburger box and a cherry shake. I know they probably have other great options, by my go-to is SOO good, I just can't talk myself into something different. The burger has coleslaw on it and I've never tasted anything like it anywhere else. If you want true 50's style food, you can't go wrong with the Burger Barn! read more

Country Boy Box & a banana milkshake!!! Mmmmmmmmmm!

It was so nice to be able to not stop at a franchise restaurant. We walked up to the order window, and the ladies serving us were very pleasant. The soft serve was just good. It wasn't the custard type soft serve I am used to from back home in Upstate New York, but the burgers were juicy, the fries piping hot and the milk shake thick and delicious. Make sure you have your cash handy because this place IS WORTH not having the convenience of paying with debit or credit! read more

Burger Barn is truly one of the best places I have had the pleasure of eating at in Irvine. With the nostalgic feeling of ordering at the pickup window, there is no better pleasure than diving into a classic cheeseburger and stuffed mushrooms. I will always make sure to stop by when I am in town visiting my parents. read more

Anytime in Irvine,KY, this is a must stop. Order a Coke with vanilla syrup (or Ale 8) and a country boy box.

I love the Burger Barn! Been eating here since I was a kid. Best ice cream in the area!

Burgers are awesome. Very reasonable prices. Cash only. Love the Coleslaw on the burgers!

Went here for the first and the family loved it. I ordered a double decker and got a great cheeseburger!

Good Double Decker and even better soft-serve ice cream. Service is pretty good too.
