    Chili Dog with Cheese
    Fat Man Reviews K.

    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.

    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!

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

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

    We stopped here on a Sunday after hiking around Red River Gorge. My husband was disappointed that…read morethey don't sell beer on Sundays :( But that's ok... the food made up for it! We both had burgers... delicious! Try the Garlic pepper cheese if you can! I got the plate with fries, my husband just got a burger. The plate with fries was HUGE! We shared and still had left overs. There are tables and picnic tables out front, and a partially enclosed deck area around the side. We would highly recommend!

    We were really looking forward to eating here after a two hour hike on a 91° day. I'd read the…read morereviews on the Garlic burger and knew that was what I'd have. My husband and I both ordered one. He also got regular fries and I did the sweet potato. The service staff was kind and helpful. I loved the way the restaurant was set up with indoor or outdoor seating. It was clean and fresh. The fries were great. The beer my husband order was nice and cold and refreshing. But the burgers, the main part of this meal...we each did a double.....someone doesn't know how to cook smash burgers. They were cooked so hard and dried out. They had flavor but they were so salty and this says a lot. I use a lot of natural salt in my diet every day; this was overkill. But on top of my burger being cooked past well done, the salt put the nail in the coffin. I was really disappointed. A nice juicy smash burger sounded so good, and it wasn't. When ya spend almost $60 for 2 double grass fed beef hamburger and fries and one beer...we expect a better meal. Maybe it was an off day for the cook or maybe this is how they are done all the time. We weren't asked how we wanted them done, which is kind of hard with smash burgers. You need to know how to cook them. If I was to give it a "next time" I'd mention to them how I cook want my meat done. There's a lot of good reviews. Maybe it was just an off day. So consider yourself forewarned if you're looking for a juicy burger.
