"This has quickly become my new favorite burger spot. I visited with some friends today, and we all enjoyed it immensely. The burger has a delightful smash-style patty with a perfectly crispy edge. Initially, I thought the fries seemed a bit small, but the generously-sized, incredible burgers more than make up for it. The onions were also fantastic, crispy, and full of flavor. The caramel milkshake was delightful after a warm day with strong caramel flavor. I’ll definitely be returning before they close for the winter. I love this place."

"Went to this place after spending a day on the lake, it was pretty stinking good. Hit the spot for sure. We got a bunch of cheeseburgers, which reminded me of a whataburger from Texas. We also got chicken strips, and a chuckwagon! The chuckwagon was essentially a chicken fried steak sandwich. The fries were good, and the onion rings were just ok, but the burgers were pretty good!"

"Visitors to the KY lake area, be sure to check out one of the areas oldest establishments! Excellent customer service, great classic burger shack fare, generous ice cream, and a price that you just can't beat. Service for our group of 11 was excellent, we were seated immediately, ordered within 10 minutes, and had our hands on our orders within another 15. The offerings are usually high quality, and give a very small town street festival vibe. The restaurant is frequented by locals and those in the know that visit the Land Between the Lakes. Get your bite of nostalgia the next time you come through."

"Belews is an old time dairy dip where they come to your car for your order and bring it to hook on your window. ( but there are some outside picnic tables) Delicious burgers and the best milkshakes. Weekends are extremely busy."

"What's not to love about this place!? This place is a time machine for prices. I just fed two adults for $11 plus a tip. It was so delicious. My husband had the chicken sandwich which is a little bit of a small patty, but he liked it a lot and I had the cheeseburger. The bun is giant, the burgers giant but it's a Smashburger and that edge is perfectly crispy. I had it the regular way, which is mustard, lettuce and pickle and it was the perfect compliment to the burger. We are staying in town for a couple days and we will be back here to eat every day. Oh yeah, and we had the onion rings and I loved them because they were crispy on the outside and almost creamy on the inside because they were so perfectly cooked. By the way, cash only and they Take your order at the car and tell you it could be 25 minutes but it may be 10 or 15."

"Great food and service. Drive up and park, they come to your vehicle and take your order and bring it to you when it's ready. You can sit at the tables on either side of the restaurant if you like. Great burgers, BBQ, and sandwiches, ice cream selections as well. On special days or holidays they can get really busy, parking lot bursting at the seams and they still keep up and get your order... just may take a little longer. Prices very reasonable. Definitely recommend."
