There were a couple of food trucks set up for the 4th of July. I saw someone get the taquitos and…read morethey looked really good, so I decided to try them along with the street corn. The taquitos were actually very tasty and definitely the highlight of my order. The street corn, however, was a bit disappointing. It was heavily covered in mayo, and the cup was only about half full, so it felt like I received roughly half a can of corn for $6. Traditional street corn usually has more toppings like cotija or parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lime juice, and a better balance of flavors. Unfortunately, the street corn was a pass for me.

Use the facilities and they were very clean as well. The food was good. Was not a fan of the coleslaw but everyone has their own recipe, and not everybody's going to like every unique recipe for coleslaw. The burger was cooked perfectly. It was quite messy but I think that was part of the recipe and that was intentional with the amount of things that were put on the burger. Is it a great value? No, I don't really think so. There are other locally owned establishments that have larger portions and our price slightly less. Would I come back again? Yes! There are so many other things that I would like to try and I truly believe in supporting the local community by going to locally own businesses.

However, what it lacks in seating it makes up in everything else. We were just passing by Tennessee and read this was the go-to local burger place and we decided to give it a try. The service is great, and the line goes amazingly fast. I tried the Big Pal burger combo with fries after a long drive for under $8 and let me tell you - it is legit. The burger doesn't try to be anything fancy or creative, and it doesn't have to. It's perfect just as it is. The fries could be compared to the McD's ones in taste, but a bit crispier and thinner. I thoroughly enjoyed both items and urge you to give this place a try if you get the chance.

The Mountains saved plants and animals from extinction from the ice. In Harlan there is Rax Restaurant. Once a mighty fast food chain with over 500 locations nationwide. Now that mighty fadtfood chain is down to two locations one of those two locations is in Harlan. The Mountains of Kentucky have saved this Restaurant from extinction. I remember years ago being able to see Rax all over the place. It was a treat to recently visit a Rax in Harlan. Rax is one part Arbys roast beef sandwich shop and one part full service restaurant. I ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich and tater skins. The Roast Beef was like Arbys. Maybe a little more of a buttery flavor on the bun but maybe that was just my imagination. It was good. The tater skins were a nice addition. The cheese was a little runny. Why the 5 stars? Well the food was good for fast food and you have to admire the survivors in the restaurant world. When you are in the Mountains of Ky, stop by Harlan. Get you a Roast Beef Sandwich. Stop for a second and appreciate all the effort that was put into this Restaurant. And maybe if you sit real quite in the parking lot and listen to the breeze you can hear the words of a rock music ballad from the 1980s or 1990s when Rax was a dynamic nationwide chain. Recapture the past and enjoy a good meal at Rax in Harlan, a survivor in the Mountains of Ky.

Apparently, this chain had many locations at one time, but they downsized to this sole location in all of KY (I think). This place reminded me of Arby's, with its roast beef sandwich; however, if Arby's had salads and baked potatoes as sides. I ended up ordering a Rax, Lite Salad, and water. What I did not expect was the large (I guess they only had one size for water) was charged as if it was a normal fountain drink (later found out on the receipt that it was charged under a combo)? I think the Rax a la carte was $4.99 and the Lite Salad was $2.99. The large water, if a la carte would have been like $2.89 (total was like $11.54)! I noticed on the receipt that it was combo'd and the price of the salad was like $1.50 upcharge? Would I not have saved money had I just bought everything a la carte? $7.98 instead of $8.78 for the combo and a Lite Salad with upcharge, bringing the total to $10.28. Then Kentucky state tax, $0.64 and the city of Harlan charges a city tax of $0.26. Geezus. Not even Lexington charges a city tax. Harlan should be like Beverly Hills (I mean it has the hills part) if they are charging a city tax. If I had known they charged for water, which I just had seen the employee fill up with water from a faucet (not even from a machine, just a sink faucet, with ice); I would have opted for a soft drink. I feel like many places now days are charging for water or enveloping it into a combo (the right thing to do would have been to charge the Rax and Lite Salad separately). It would be fine if it was something like $0.25 or so for the cup (Starbucks does that); however, at the regular price of a large drink, combo'd? That is a bit steep. I am kind of mad, Lol. Good thing my employer gives me a diem to cover meals.
