Joyce's Place — Restaurant in Pikeville

we were road tripping across the country (to go see my parents' sweet new old people retirement home and i thought it would be a good idea to bring my girlfriend with me - ya know, to see if it reeaallly works out - so we left from where i live in north idaho [in a town that claims to have the best burger on I90... and they hold up... so i know what im talking about] and went to see my family where im from in Maryland and all, and then put our feet in the Atlantic and everything because she never had been there) but on the way back we wanted to see the famous "feudal" part of Kentucky and found a much bigger than expected town here. anywhoo they got good real burgers at a good real price.

cheese sauce on the side with the krinkle cut fries gets a bonus point :)

I ALWAYS try to find something good to say even if poor service, bad food, etcetera because I know how hard businesses are having it and how hard food service employees work but this was a tough one. The cheese sandwich was good and my husband's hamburger was good. FYI, we live 2 hours away, never been to this restaurant this was the first time and went there after leaving the DMV...

We accidentally happened upon this place on a quick stop to Pikeville. The woman who was running the place was very nice. We talked for awhile after we ate some of the best burgers we've ever had in our lives. They were cooked perfectly, our buns were also toasted perfectly . This place was an unforgettable stop on day 10 of a 14 day road trip. I can't remember most of the things that happened 2 days ago because it's all blending together, but I will absolutely...
