But be advised that it's cash only! This is one of the most amazing burger places I have ever visited. The staff is attentive and friendly; you can not go wrong with this family-owned business. Excellent burgers made from scratch. It has been in business since 1934, so it must be doing it right. This place is regularly voted the best burger in the Bluegrass State and lives up to the hype. A perfect slice of Americana, walking into this place feels like going back in time. I had the Double Hamburger, and my wife had the Double Cheeseburger. We also had French Fries and Onion Rings. The onion rings are huge, and the breading does not fall off when you take a bite. If you are ever in Hodgenville, you must try this place!

Food quality is subpar. I called my order in. I was told that it would be ready in 20 minutes. I…read morewaited 30 minutes before going to pick it up. When I arrived, my food still wasn't ready. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes. I also expected to be able to go to the "pickup window" instead of having to wait at the "order window" behind the line of people who had not ordered their food yet. I was told I had to wait at the order window because they only had one credit card machine and it was at that window. I felt that defeated the purpose of calling my order in ahead of time. By the time I received my food, it was Luke warm. My burger was swimming in mayo and mustard and lacked the extra pickles that were requested. The beef was of lesser quality than what I would purchase and cook at home. I had also ordered a taco salad which was extremely bland. It was a few chips, some bland taco meat, a ton of lettuce, minimal cheese and minimal tomatoes. It had a small amount of sour cream but no salsa. Overall disappointing. Prices were too high for lack of quality and service.

I had heard for days that the burgers at Fat Patty's were absolutely divine. Naturally, I ignored…read morethat advice completely and ordered a pizza while sitting at the bar. The pizza was surprisingly decent, and I have to say it arrived at lightning speed. When I say it was ready in minutes, I mean MINUTES. If there had been a stopwatch involved, I suspect the pizza would have won. The highlight of the visit was Anthony, who was tending bar. He was an absolute gem. Friendly, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. The conversation alone made the stop worthwhile, and I would gladly come back just to sit at the bar and chat with him again. The sweet tea was fantastic, which, from what I've learned while visiting Kentucky, is a fairly serious category of competition. For dessert, I had a warm cinnamon pretzel topped with ice cream, and it was outstanding. If you're debating whether to order dessert, stop debating and just do it. One thing I've noticed about restaurants in Kentucky is that they appear to believe air conditioning is both a utility and a competitive sport. If you're visiting from out of town, consider bringing a sweater or dressing in layers. The dining room was cool enough that I briefly wondered whether I should have ordered hot chocolate. Will I be back? Maybe. If I return, I'll probably do the sensible thing and try one of the burgers that everyone keeps raving about. Until then, Fat Patty's gets credit for great service, excellent sweet tea, a fantastic dessert, and for reminding me that sometimes the best part of a meal is the people you meet along the way.

Seems they had an all day festival starting with a 5k , that we missed, and everyone had just left. We sat at the bar front&center to the TV and still had to raise our handwork service. Ordered fried pickles and cheese sticks. They came luke warm. they were probably made earlier for the crowd and didn't get sold bc they were not freshly fried that is for sure. This place maybe good during the school year as a hang out but our experience was disappointing.

The smash burger was a bit messy, but I loved all the cheese and the smash sauce. The burger was cooked perfectly and it really satisfied that craving.

Prices were great, too, so if you haven't yet, be sure to check them out, I look forward to my next trip to Bishop's.

The 40 min drive is long but I have a feeling might be heading back again soon. One thing I would like to see and this is the same all over is there were no sugar free options.
