The drive in is great. But dine in is awful. We waited over an hour for a hotdog fries and wee burgers then the order was wrong. Was supposed to got 4 wee burgers got 1. Only ordered them
With cheese onion and bacon. After over an hour the food come with 1 wee burger and everything on it. It was also over $40 for our order with an order of wings for our son. How does 1 hotdog 1 wee burgers fries and wings cost over $40. This was the most awful experience I've had at a local restaurant. I have to say the drive in is awesome though.

If I could I would had gave 0 , ordered food on the cell went to pick it up had 2 orders , and my daughter which is disabled, both patties where prefab frozen from frozen prefab made meat I take it, box was not homemade as I would had thought, I couldn't even bite into the pattie told the little girl was waiting on cars she said you will need to message the Facebook with your complaint, the normal thing is the refund or redo the food, but the sign said Employees only on their door to the resturant so your stuck waiting hoping someone would help you here , poor service need more workers , and a way to be able to take your food back to the door or window , I've ate at two places in Barbourville they told me the same thing, so sorry that wasn't what the waitress said and let us know if we can do anything next time, would be a great joint if they had fast workers and would keep your food fresh before giving it to ya, we threw it out . I guess small towns take your money and the customers always right doesn't exist in smaller towns from what I'm seeing . Lesson learned maybe stick with higher chain food if you need a replacement or money back doesn't happen in smaller towns.

Sat there for five minutes waiting to have my order taken. They ignored me and took the order of someone who arrived after me. I haven’t had Tommy’s in 2.5 years and after tonight’s experience I guess I’ll go another few years.

Tommy's Root beer Stand is classic Americana with a sprinkle of southern Kentucky charm! This is an old school drive in with the full works. There are two rows of spots to park in, multiple lit menu boards, and a main kitchen with staff in-between the rows. The menu, food, and atmosphere are all tailored to the drive in experience. You can get anything from a drive in classic, like a burger, all the way to southern specialties like a fried bologna sandwich here.

We arrived right after opening on a Saturday and were greeted right away. We placed an order for two entrees, chili cheese fries, and two drinks and paid $16. That's a steal compared to fast food in 2025! Our food came out within ten minutes and was delicious, hot, and fresh. Our waitress did a great job of providing napkins, ketchup, and salt in our bags for convenience.

Something has happened from last fall to this fall. I ate there alot the food was always hot and fresh. Ive been 5 times this month 2 times my chili buns were great. 1 time the chili was cold cold. 1 time the chili was just barely warm couldn't eat them all. Then last night same problem chili wasn't hot at all. So whoever is cooking i don't know what's changed but something is definitely off compared to last year.
