Bland food and mediocre service. I was excited about a new restaurant with pasta options on the menu and it was a huge let down.

A simple restaurant with AMAZING views of Cumberland Lake! Very casual indoor/outdoor spaces…read more The Staff was friendly and the service was very good. The other tables around us were also receiving good service in spite of other reviews for this restaurant. My husband had the cheeseburger and fries. He said the burger was one of the best he's had at any restaurant. The fries were hot and crispy. Unfortunately, the hot brown was one of the worst I've ever had. Save your money and don't order that item. We thought that the value was good overall and the view was priceless.

We, like others, loved Guthries. So we decided to try lunch here for the first time since the…read moreownership change. We sat on the patio which is probably the only saving grace this place has at this point. The view is gorgeous. The breeze puts you at ease. The service, seriously lacking. We got two glasses of tea and water. One refill that is. The entire time. The spinach dip is what I expect if I had asked one of my children to make it. A block of cream cheese melted with greens and topped with a slice of melted provolone I believe. It looked exactly how you imagine it would, gross. And tasted bland with no addition of garlic or salt. The chips were sparingly tossed on the plate and some were under cooked while others were hard and tasted stale. My husband had the club with sweet potato fries. I had the chicken salad sandwich with regular fries. The fries are baked I think, they are not crispy, crunchy, or hot. They flop when picked up. The chicken salad must be bought from a supplier. While Reser's is decent, this is not fresh, it's not chunky, the grapes are smushed and wilty. The croissant was nice and toasted, the tomato was fresh and the lettuce helped the presentation. All in all, this isn't worth the $50 I wasted on lunch, especially with the absence of our waitress.

If you find yourself cruising through Burnside, Kentucky, you can't miss the bold claim standing…read moretall on the roadside: "World's Best Hot Dogs." While many places boast, the Goody Shack--a beloved seasonal icon for decades--actually delivers on the promise. The menu here is massive, ensuring there is truly something for everyone. Whether you are coming off the lake or just passing through, the portions are generous and the prices are incredibly fair. I can confidently say it's the best foot-long hot dog in the region. We ordered ours loaded with all the toppings; the beef was high-quality and packed with flavor--easily the best I've had in years. Execution is everything with diner food. The crinkle-cut fries hit that perfect golden ratio of crispy on the outside without being soggy. Even more impressive were the onion rings, which maintained their integrity and didn't pull out of the breading with the first bite. If hot dogs aren't your craving, they offer a deep roster of juicy hamburgers, chuckwagon sandwiches, and chicken options. From Cajun fries and hushpuppies to hamburger steaks and fried fish, the kitchen handles it all with ease. There is a reason the Goody Shack has remained a Burnside staple for generations. Stepping onto the property feels like walking into a 1960s sock hop. The staff is attentive and keeps things moving, even when the lakeside crowds gather. The place's laid-back vibe, relaxed mood, and unique character perfectly capture the vintage diner magic that is becoming more and more elusive. This is a "must-visit" location for your Spring 2026 Lake Cumberland itinerary since it is a seasonal gem. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the combination of massive portions, nostalgic flair, and those legendary chili dogs makes it a standout.

Definitely overly priced ordere two double burgers that I was told weren't that big and two fries…read morean an order of cheese sticks and I came to $33 absolutely insane..
