I stop here everytime I come to Barbourville, best little diner I’ve ever been to. Food has always been hot and fresh and it’s great quality. Def recommend 10/10

This is one of my favorite places to eat, but yall are gonna have to hire people with customer service skills instead of stuck up pretty girls. I sat and waited for over 8 minutes while this young girl walks food out to everyone without even greeting me and giving smug looks then proceeds to get other peoples order that pulled in after me. I will not be returning if she’s the one taking orders.

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, ketc

Perfect drive-in spot. Went in the winter and it was still packed but would be a perfect summertime spot! If you're looking for a big, delicious, messy(in the best way) look no further!

It’s a Root beer stand and on point! The root beer is so good, idk what the secret is but it blows A&W’s out of the water. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger and it was a size fit for a 215lb hungry biker and delicious! Crinkle cut fries were fresh with the right amount of crisp. I had a butter scotch milkshake to follow it up and it was as pleasing as the rest of the meal. If you’re traveling down 25E and hungry, I Highly recommend this place.
