    Was on the way to colonel Sandro's museum and saw this place local place. I almost missed it. There's no sign but packed with all the locals. It's an old drive up restaurant where the ladies come out and take your orders fast and efficiently. Menu everything under $5. The food was. Old school nothing really to brag about. But efficient and fills you up.

    This was my first time eating here. You pull up and someone comes to the car to take the order. I ordered a footlong hotdog with onion rings and I of course had to get a root beer float. Price was reasonable. The footlong was delicious and so was the root beer float. I really liked it and the waitress was very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

    K and I are obsessed with drive ins. Since were camping in the area we decided to stop by. Keep in mind we're 3 months into covid so I am sure that we didn't get a precovid feel. We pulled up to the building which was packed! A member of the waitstaff came out took our orders. She was very nice, quick to come over and answered our questions. K ordered 2 hotdogs with chili and cheese. I got a Dixie burger and fried to share. We took them to go and at them at the campground. Delicious! The Dixie burger hit the spot. And the chili dogs were delicious. I would highly recommend a stop by to pick up some classic grub!

    My husband and I loved this. If you like, small town mom and pop, your grandparents ate here/all the high school students do too/it's cheap, then you'll love this place!!! We ordered cheeseburger, fries, onion rings and the chuck wagon. The cheeseburger amazing real meat and excellent homemade burger. The chuckwagon they said was a steak sandwich but it was a country fried steak sandwich. Really if you've ever been to a Texas DQ And ordered a dude sandwich, that's this......I love them so my husband and I swapped. The onion rings were like Sonic but fried longer and way better. We really liked this place.

    Yummy yummy yummy root beer floats here - no surprise for a small town drive in. When we stopped by it was so busy we had to park off to the side. But a server was quick to stop by to get our order. The root beer is made in house and falls on the sweet, not barky, end of the root beer flavor spectrum. The vanilla ice cream isn't overly sweet either, making it a perfect match. It was crusty on the outside with root beer ice flecks. Delish!!!

    Double lines waiting for the best food around.

    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.

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

    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.

    Was in town for the weekend and stopped in to eat on Saturday night…read more The manager Steve Ausmus greeted us as we are former 'Pinevillians' who were now visiting. Very nice guy, and his staff follows his lead. Waitresses were sweet as the pecan pie and the food was great. Love that Middlesboro has this kind of place. 5-stars!

    First time couple weeks ago…read more Stopped after golf with 2 friends on a Saturday about 5 pm. Busy with 45 min wait but were told we could wait in the separate bar with first come basis seating. That's what we did and got seated and drinks ordered and dinner menus promptly, Bar /wait staff was very good for a busy time. Live music and crowd in the bar in a living room type atmosphere too loud for an intimate dinner more a sing along fun time place, separate from the main more quiet dining area. Got fried mushrooms appetizer and filet mignon as entree. The filet was high quality very tender perfectly prepared and had a wood grilled flavor. Also got a fresh garden salad and giant baked potato ...excellent well worth the $48 price. Others had a huge burger and cheese steak with fries. Both also very good. Too stuffed for desert but it looked yummy. Was impressed with bar drinks, beer and wine selections. Best steak I've had in this area from Lexington Ky to Knoxville TN. On par with nineteen 19 in Cumberland gap as nicest restaurant in the local area. I'll be back.
