Delicious burger with some great people in Herb & Thelma’s! We were from out of town, they were so accommodating and we met some really good people including the owners son, Ethan. Thank you!

A classic "Dive Bar" that's a good time to kick off your trip through Kentucky! Stop in and you will be sure to make new friends in this intimate space.

It's a historic location on US25 that's a must stop. Grab a great burger or brat, a good drink and be sure to talk with the locals.

It's cash only but there's an ATM in building.

We had a delicious burger. Service was good. This is definitely a throwback, hidden neighborhood jewel. Only takes cash but is inexpensive.

Everyone goes to this vintage tavern for their burgers and they are delicious. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel like family. They have a limited menu but they also have Metts and brats and chili, fried bologna sandwich, and a vegetarian option to name a few. Chips are included with your burger. Serve cold beer and soft drinks.

Authentic old school neighborhood tavern. Spotlessly clean, clearly local regulars which adds to the charm. Highly recommend fried bologna sandwich, cheeseburger and hot met!
