★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Joshua Wilcox · Aug 2025

Hate to do this. I really do. I grew up in the 80s on Fairgrounds. From walking over as a kid getting burgers with my buddies to my Mom getting it for our dinner. The memories of the place are fantastic. I just moved back to Lawrenceburg almost a month ago. Today I decided I had to take a walk down memory lane and go check them out. Well the place is awesome inside. Super super friendly staff. Such genuine nice folks. Now my 2 ribeye sandwiches. I hate to do this review. Tough. Overcooked. Left on the grill way to long. Thin ribeye needs to be cooked fast and high so its not tough. I got 2 think pieces of tough shoe leather. May be partial the cut. But this ribeye is not any count. I suggest changing the way its cooked and maybe a better grade of ribeye. Id pay more than $6.00 for a qualit

Best onion rings in Lawrenceburg by a land slide. Been coming here since I was a kid and from day one the atmosphere has that "momma's house" feel. Love the food and the staff. Great place to grab a meal with the whole family

Great, was worried when it changed owners, but better than ever! Much better days/hours and accept debit cards now. Highly recommend!

I stopped here along the way through the bourbon trail. It is a counter service only establishment. The people were super nice and helpful. Their menu generally consists of hotdogs, hamburgers, and a few things like popcorn shrimp. I opted for the single cheeseburger. It was absolutely amazing. Easily one of the best hamburgers I have had from a restaurant like this. The patty was large and I think hand patted. It was definitely not a prepackaged and formed burger. The toppings had a great balance of portion and it was all around a stunner. If you are in the area and looking for something quick, it is well worth a stop.
