We walked in with our California tie dye and long hair and nose ring, and got a few friendly glances. We smiled back and sat ourselves down. The wait staff couldn't have been nicer and cute as bugs! We had the 5oz steak platter, BBQ on corn cake with fried green tomatoes! Delish! I am still craving more tomatoes- they were crunchy on the outside and tart on the inside. Quite the explosion of flavors. My eldest loved the steak and biscuit and practically licked the plate clean. That would have made quite an impression... We were given regrets that the dessert cake was "all sold out", but have to admit I wouldn't mind coming back just to taste what was described. If you're visiting Smith Grove, you really, have to check this place out. It's local friendly and the food is amazing home cooking!

Stopped in for lunch ~ noon on a Tuesday. There were only two other diners when we were seated…read more It's a small spot with about a dozen tables/booths. Wanted to check it out because of the positive reviews. I ordered the southwest chicken with green beans and tater tots and my friend ordered the club sandwich with Mac n cheese. The chicken was okay. It was a bit salty with the cheese and mushrooms. Tots were from a bag as are the fries (I saw them in the plastic). While dining, someone came in for pickup and they had obviously been there before and I heard them say they love the burgers. My friend's club had a thick cut of ham and he said he enjoyed the sandwich. Great service. The server was on top of the drinks and was friendly. One thing of note is they do pass the credit card fees to the customer. But, they let you know before you pay (instead of just adding it to the bill). This is a practice that many establishments have taken to that really runs me the wrong way. I give it a 3.5/5 for food. 5/5 for service and 3.5/5 for ambiance.

After a tour of Mammoth Cave we stopped in nearby Cave City for a bite on our way back to…read moreGeorgetown, Kentucky. 5 Broke Girls has a very unassuming menu with sandwiches and various burger options. We had the Jessie Special and it was really special. A spicy burger on nicely buttered toast served with a side of tater tots. Steph took our order and told us some of the history of how some Texas girls ended up in Cave City, Kentucky. The restaurant is clean with both tables and booths to choose from and with Texas memorabilia displayed throughout the place. Food came out fast and was delicious. If you take in Mammoth Cave stop by here for a good old fashioned burger and a quart jar of iced tea.

Stepping back into Dovie's after all these years felt like walking straight into a warm, delicious…read morememory. The little white building on 4th Street still wears its vintage RC Cola sign like a badge of honor, and the moment you push open the door, that familiar sizzle of burgers hitting the oil hits you like a hug from your childhood. We slid onto the stools at the old horseshoe counter, the same one I remember from when I was a kid, and watched the magic happen right in front of us. Patties kissed with bread for that impossibly soft center, fried in the shallow oil until the edges turned perfectly crisp and golden. My cheeseburger arrived "unsquoze," glistening and glorious, layered with that signature tangy sauce, crisp pickles, and onions that somehow make everything sing. One bite and I was twelve years old again--only this time I got to share it with my own family. The new owners have kept every bit of what made Dovie's legendary. Same perfect burgers. Same simple, soulful menu. Same feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. My kids devoured theirs with the same wide-eyed joy I used to have, and we left with full hearts and fingers still a little greasy in the best possible way. Dovie's isn't just a burger joint. It's a living piece of Tompkinsville history that still tastes like home. If you've never been, go. If you grew up on these burgers, go back. It's every bit as wonderful as you remember.

Recently, my partner went to the restaurant and was told he was no longer welcome because of that past comment. The owner recognized him, yelled profanities, and called him vulgar names. This interaction was unexpected and inappropriate. Because of the owner's behavior, we won't be returning. I can't recommend this business due to how customers are treated.

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!

It smelled great and the food we seen delivered to other tables also looked great. We got a sample platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were over cooked and chewy and the brisket was a lot of fat. The sides were just ok. Maybe it was just an off day for them because I see a lot of great reviews. We stopped in later in the evening so that may be the reason the meats were off. Again, not thrilled with our meal here, but may give them another chance earlier in the day.

My son and I both wanted to try the brisket so he got the platter and I chose the sandwich. I was told they make most of the sides that aren't fried options such as tater tots, which I was happy about. They had the classic barbecue sauce on the table as well as a spicy option. Both were equally delicious. My sandwich came on Texas toast, which is a fave. The portions were a great value as they do not skimp! The fried potatoes are made in house and they were delicious. Even though they don't make the onion rings in house they were also quite good. My one disappointment was, they don't make the majority of their desserts. And the menu states that their daughter-in-law Kayle makes different desserts daily and they didn't have that. They were actually out of several desserts, which was disappointing. Since the only ones they had were not ones made in house I chose to not get one. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away I guess I'll have to give it another shot for the dessert option next time around. Overall, the place was terrific and the folks were friendly. They have a salad bar in the middle of the floor, which is a nice touch. They have a very laid-back atmosphere and it is definitely family friendly. And you definitely get good size portions for the money.
