Ferrell's Snappy Service — Restaurant in Madisonville

Traveling down the Pennyrile Parkway in KY, heading towards Clarksville TN late at night, we were searching for someplace to eat.

We googled places near the Madisonville, KY exit and first tried going to Huddle House, but found them closed.

Then we tried going to Denny's, and they were closed until 5 a.m. An older local lady we met, who had also tried going to Denny's, told us we should follow her "downtown" to Ferrell's Diner.

Only a 2 min drive from the Pennyrile Parkway, Ferrell's ended up being a pleasant detour, that we will be making whenever we come back down the Pennyrile again.

The Diner was very clean, and although it was staffed by only one person that night, he was quick to take our orders and efficiently went about cooking the food, and serving those already there, as well as those coming in.

They serve breakfast and grill items 24/7, in addition to items not on the regular menu, such as country fried steak with gravy. Along with several types of pie for dessert.

They have single, double and triple hamburgers too!

Our waitstaff/cook was quick to refill our drinks and check back to see if we needed anything else.

The portion sizes were plentiful; especially if you ordered the pancakes, that were as big as your plate.

Our food was delicious and the biggest surprise, was the very affordable prices!

Next time you're driving the Pennyrile and you're approaching Madisonville, KY, you should stop in and give them a try. Your belly will be full and you won't...

I grew up in Madisonville moved away over 25 years ago. Every time I come home I have to stop and get a burger or two. This place was staple of my childhood I can remember my mom bringing me here as a young child. And then coming up by myself with my friends on bicycles during summer vacation. I got word that there was a fire some years back. I will say that I was truly upset by the news. When I found out you all reopened I was overjoyed. So I got a chance to come home for the holidays and I took a drive over to the restaurant for a lunch time snack. I will say it was everything that I remembered. It looked so good and the smell of food when I walked in blew me away.after I got my order I took my first bite and it took me right back to my teen years. Thank you for all the great memories and full belly's. I hope my grand kids get to enjoys the food and the classic style as much as I have all...
