Walking in, I can tell this might be a local hangout. I can see locals playing pool at the multiple pool tables and getting some bar room snacks. Upon entering the lady inside was super friendly and nice. I tried a basic chili dog seeing as how the name of the establishment is called Spanx Franks. The hot dog was decent but was served on a cold bun. The chili was made with real hamburger but lacked flavor. There’s nothing around this place so I can see a passer by stopping if they were hungry, but to come here on a trip I would say it would be a no for me.

Awesome place to grab a bite. I tried it for the first time yesterday. There are pool tables, plenty of room, the dude runnin’ the place was nice and really cool, and last, but not least, my bacon cheeseburger box was great. My Mom approved, too. Just an all around chill place. Alo, they were open when another place wasn’t. Not namin’ names. Stop and check it out.

This was my first time here. The food was pretty good. It looks like a fun place to hang out, with pool tables, etc! This place is understated. For less than $10 I was served a whole meal. With real ingredients.

This was probably the best chili dog I have ever had. To top it off the owner was one of the nicest people I have ever met. With people like this running this business it makes me glad we decided to stop in and give it a try. Next time we are in the area this will for sure be a go to place to eat. My only complaint is they are not closer to where I live, but will be sure to stop back in the next time we are in the red river gorge area. 10/10 would recommend.

Hungry from 3 days of hiking in Red River Gorge, we happened across this place on accident. Glad we did. Friendly people running the grill. Kitchen and pool/seating area was really clean. And the food was great. (Of course we had been eating out of foil bags on the trail for the past 3 days, so this was gourmet compared to that). The pork tenderloin was excellent. The hot dog itself was an average dog, but the chili was nice and thick – not runny like some unnamed big chains. Fries – also excellent. And you can’t beat a cold Ale-8.
