"The food was super fresh and absolutely delicious, I couldn't get enough. Seriously, every bite was a flavor explosion! I'm already planning my next visit back to this gem of a spot. You guys HAVE to try this place for yourselves! You won't regret it."

"I had a giant hamburger with curly fries from here and just wow. The burger was legitimately big and the curly fries were the best seasoned fries i had. All food is made after you order it as well so expect it to be fresh and take 10 to 15 minutes. Well worth the wait though! The value of the meat and portions are superior to any fast food chain in Harlan."

"The ladies here were lovely to us out of town last minute people! Cute and clean Country ice cream shop. A feel of an older time when I'd get ice cream as a child. Loved the space. Clean bathrooms. Great ice cream options! The giant burger and curly fries were good to be honest. The chili had no beans. And the cheese tots were great with the chili. I don't know if I'll ever be in this area again but it was worth the stop 100%"
