This was soooooo good!! I got the “The Luther”, and it was seriously the best burger I’ve ever had! The place was super clean, and they were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Honestly, a really cool place with good tunes on the jukebox and a burger menu to rival Davos in town. The food was delicious and juicy, I'll be back to try out all of their burgers and milkshakes. My only complaint would be the ventilation from the kitchen. It can get pretty smoky in the dining area and the fried onion vapors definitely carried.

Stopped in to try this little place out and it was great! Food was fresh, took a bit to get there but came out hot and yummy! We really came for the milkshakes and they did not disappoint, the fruity pebble shake is so good! Definitely worth trying!

My family pulled in at 11:32. They opened right at 11:30. We ordered 3 different burgers. (1) The big boy, (2) The John Wayne, (3) The beach boys....all with fries. (1) The big boy was good. When I bit into it, it was very wet, dripping down my fingers wet. I love patty melts. But not so much the big boy. It's a great sandwich for someone who likes a busy patty melt. I would rather the egg not have been cooked so long, its better when you bite the burger and the yoke runs.There was so much happening in my mouth, but with all the ingredients, I didn't get a patty melt taste. (2.)The john Wayne, also a good burger. But it just tasted like a nice burger, you couldn't taste any of the other meats. (3)The beach boy, was the best of the 3. The bread, pineapple and barbeque sauce is a great combination. It's small enough, simple enough. I can hold it in 1 hand and bite through, to get all ingredients at once. The fries are superb, with or without ketchup. The inside was very clean. They received 97 out of 100 on the health inspection. The waitress was kind and respectful. We got our order to go. Came from Clarksville tn after finding this place on line. Had mixed reviews. My final thought... 5 out of 5 stars. It is worth the drive and the money we spent. Right around 44.00 for 3 burger trays. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu. Thank you Peggy, for the pleasure of dining at your shop.

Its a locally own business that appears to be a 50's retro diner. My family was greeted upon entrance and guided to our seats. The establishment and staff were clean, respectful, helpful and well kept. The music was enjoyable and the volume was set perfect. Our waiter was polite, well knowledge about the menu and even offered two new items that weren't on the menu. ( Clint Eastwood and the Rizzo burger) The staff worked well with each other and we had a great visit.

Best Burger & Float from the Fifties! Visiting Hopkinsville, we had a scrumptious quick bite. The place looks great! Service is outstanding, and the food is marvelously delicious! Excellent option for nostalgic feeling of going back in time!

Neat little place. I enjoyed eating here, and the fries were phenomenal! I realized there was a drive-thru as well, now that I know this I'll be going here often!

Paige and Sierra were both incredibly kind and hospitable. Our food was fresh and hot. We ordered the Chicago dog (one with fries, one with onion rings) and a large pizza. It was all delicious!! And they took care of us despite being close to closing time. Thank you for a nice experience!
