Some of the tastiest hot fudge cake and burgers in Kentucky can be had at the “Dairy Bar” in Whitley City, where folks have been stopping for good old-fashioned food since 1933! This little roadside diner on Main Street has the look and feel of the 1950s, complete with vintage decor, oldies music, and even carhop service where you can have your food brought right to your vehicle. The menu has plenty to choose from, including big juicy burgers, chili dogs, fried green beans, tenderloin sandwiches, and catfish dinners. You can also grab a country breakfast, crispy fries with ranch, or one of their popular Dixie Whopper burgers. And you definitely want to save room for something sweet! The hot fudge cake is a longtime favorite, along with strawberry shortcake, Oreo twisters, and pie-in-a-cup. The Dairy Bar has even survived two fires over the years, including one in 1966, and kept right on serving its community. With reasonable prices, friendly service, and plenty of hometown charm, it's the kind of Kentucky diner worth pulling over for!
