If you are not from a small town it is probably not for you. The food is good if you've grown up with it and the service is lacking. They will not put chili on the side, which could potentially go with a lot of dishes! Chili cheese fries, chili burgers, or just plan chili. I wish they had a gluten-free option for those who have the allergy. The parking and wait is ridiculous. The place itself looks very old and run down, but you can't judge a book by its cover. I would recommend the chili hot dog and the fries and a float. Also, if your like me you like to sit with the windows down and enjoy your food but most are to good to bare the heat so they leave their vehicles on and exhaust you to death! read more

Best floats around! I thought I would try something different from your traditional burger (which are amazing) and try the fish. I'M SO GLAD I DID! Very large fillet and juicy! This has become my new fav at our local burger joint. Highly recommend going to the window when it is crowded it is often much quicker. read more

You really have to get the footlong or a cheeseburger to get the best of the root beer stand. This place is a local legend and a true gem. If you want something really good you'll find all the favorites. Wonderful nostalgic drive-in. read more

It's probably really interesting if you didn't grow up in small-town Eastern Kentucky. The root beer was tasty and the place was packed. The menu is quite small. The chili dog was ok, it was your basic church potluck chili - basically what you ate at every High School football game as a kid. read more

If you're really into the whole nostalgic drive-in type restaurant, and you live in the area, you basically HAVE to go to this place. Even if you're not, you still need to go. They have really good food, and they make their own root beer, and it's pretty damn good if I say so myself. The only problems you'll encounter are A) It's only open during the summer and B) when it IS open, it's ALWAYS packed. Good luck finding a place to park. read more

Chili dogs, chili buns, hamburgers onion rings, and root beer floats are amazing!! Hardest part is finding a parking place for the car side service because it is always s packed. read more

The facility is filthy and the food isn't anything special. Usually get sick after eating here.

Root Beer Stand is an institution in Corbin. It is the epitome of what a classic drive in is. They craft their own root beer which is top notch and all the food is of good quality at a very reasonable price. Don't expect the greatest meal of your life here, but go in expecting a classic drive in experience and you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared to wait, the stand is always packed. read more

Everyone and their brother tells me this is the best place to eat in Corbin and the best burgers ever. I have yet to agree. this is defiantly a place where the opinion is to each their own. In my case, I avoid it at all costs! read more

Great local place for good burgers and hotdogs. Love the chili dogs. Parking is first come first serve so you better be prepared to drive around in circles if you go during busy hours. Waitresses are friendly and hardworking so tip them. Also you can call in your order and they will bring it to your car instead of having to go to the walk up window. read more

They have a simple menu, but everything is fresh and good. We have never been disappointed! Be prepared to wait in line though, everyone loves the root beer stand! read more

Great place to eat. Only bad thing is they are closed in winter. Love the Dixie burgers and chili buns and fries

I agree with the others. The quality has went down over the years. Good onion rings and the best root beer if you drink it there.

Good food, service is quick as can be. I love their rootbeer, hamburgers, fish sandwich, and hotdogs!

Favorite place to eat in Corbin. I could eat here everyday. Best burger & fries with an amazing root beer on the side.

Ive been eating here for years and the past couple of years it seems to be going down hill. Everything tastes not fresh and the hamburger meat actually smelled nasty and my wifes hot dog made her sick. read more

First of all the service SUCKS. I was there for about 30 minutes after they took my order. Other people came in after us and got served faster than we did. So when they did bring the food about the time I started to leave we told them to take it back and we went elsewere to eat. I'll never go back till they get their act together. Second of all the manager was rude if he was the manager. read more

My friend and I made a stop here on the last day of an epic road trip. Without directions, we kind of just took the road off the highway and kept driving towards downtown Corbin...luckily, this place is kind of hard to miss. Not realizing that it had to be partially up for the tray to stay perched on my car window, I spilled some of my meal into the car. Mishap aside, the root beer float we got was delicious, although, really, how could a root beer and ice cream not be?! The bbq was so-so by Southern standards but certainly no worse than your avg fast food pulled pork. For a slice of old school America (which is just what we were looking for), definitely detour here on an otherwise boring drive up I-75. read more

uhhh, sorry, nothing special here. Probably an old Dog n Suds. root beer was nothign special although I do like that they served it without ice. Even then, it was just like canned A&W. Have had better. The burgers were also nothing special. Have had better burgers at a good old dog n suds. Onion rings were good, but the fries again... eh... Service was fine, car hop was friendly. Would not go again if I found myself int he area. Find something else. read more

Over-hyped and terrible food. Would not recommend at all. Made me sick every time I ate there.

OMG, why would people stand in line for this crap. The burger was dry. Fries tasted the same as Walmart fries. Onion rings were burnt.

Great place to eat! Great Dixie burgers and chili buns. They give a large amount of fries. They close oct till spring. They are so good people swarm the place first 2 weeks they are open in the spring. read more

A great local drive in, you eat in your car. Food is simple but very, very good. So many things we like. The hotdogs chili, more like a sauce, is outstanding. The burgers are fresh made each day and bought locally. Fresh fixins' for the burgers as well. You must try the Dixie Burger at least once, a burger with saute'd onions and sauce. Onion rings are "real" onions, and fried to perfection. This place is only open 9 months a year, and it's usually crowed through the whole season. read more

Eat here all the time. Love the food here and the service is always great. My favorite thing to eat here is the and . Also love the hot dogs and the root beer. read more

Great local place with car hop service. Tasty hot dogs and a side of onion rings awesome.
