The Burgers & Shakes Stop for Car Clubs
Nostalgic roadside burgers & shakes · Minutes from the Corvette Museum
Pull off I-65 Exit 38 and step back into 1964. Hand-patted burgers, hand-cut fries, and thick milkshakes — the kind of stop your car club will want to make a tradition.
Group Seating Available
Bringing the whole club? We have room for groups. Call ahead and we’ll have your orders ready so your crew can eat, swap stories, and get back on the road without the wait.
Take the Scenic Route
Skip the interstate and cruise US-31W between the Corvette Museum and Exit 38. It’s a classic two-lane run through Kentucky countryside — the kind of road that makes the burger taste better.
From the Corvette Museum
Head north on I-65 from the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green to Exit 38 (Smiths Grove) — about 15 minutes. Just 0.7 miles off I-65 Exit 38 — coming up from Bowling Green, take a left off the exit and you'll find us on your left. Prefer the scenic route? Take US-31W north straight to our front door.
