Kearney's Drive In

Kearney's drive in has been slinging sandwiches, burgers, and dogs since 1967. It's not much to look at but I've heard great things about their hot dogs and I heard too late that they have a delicious pimento cheese sandwich that I'll have to go back to try. The hot dog wasn't really anything special and I've definitely had better but I'd still like to go back and try some other menu items.

Just ok... walk up to the window to place your order and then wait for your name to be called... seems pretty expensive for a hot dog hut but I guess that's the new norm. Ten bucks for two hot dogs and an order of fries.

Best hamburgers, hotdogs and french fries in Lexington! A Lexington icon that has survived since 1967!

Nice little drive up food stop. Best burgers in Lexington, hands down. Nice people and fast service!

Driving through and this place has the best unsweet tea I have ever tested. I want their secret! Fish sand and fries were excellent too!

Been going here all my life. The hot dogs arn't as good as they used to be and the customer service is not great as far as the people working there don't act like they care to be there. This place has been around since my father was a kid and used to be a lot more pleasant.

Never judge a book by its cover. Since childhood, we've heard this over and over again. When we had a hankering for some hot dogs Saturday afternoon, my wife reminded me that the best place in Davidson County she had heard of was 'Kearneys'. When we pulled into the general parking area, my book by its cover mantra came back to haunt me. My initial thought was, 'Where the heck are we and what is this place?'. BUT, I encourage you to park your car, turn the ignition off, and do yourself a favor by strolling over to the walkup counter and order some of the best tasting hot dogs you've ever had.We can't always look to go 'national-chain' for our eating experiences; the local businesses rely on us for their existence and this was yet again, a pleasurable experience where my heart felt good for 'going local' and my tummy felt good for the savory sweet chili smothered over my 'Carolina Reds'. The location has been around since 1967 and was opened/owned by a former US Army First Sergeant Steve Koonts. Having earned multiply awards from the 'Winston Salem Dispatch' voted on by county residents, it seemed a solid choice. You get the hot dogs in an order of 4 each. Beef, pork, or Carolina Reds. We chose to pay a little extra to have cheddar cheese and this delicious sweet meat chili on top. An order of French fries with Old Bay seasoning generously sprinkled on top completed the small town afternoon lunch as we enjoyed it sitting in our car. The windows are adorned with print outs of the Hot Dog stand history, its awards, and the standard walkup window menu, but hey they even take Apple Pay so they are keeping up with the times! C'mon over to the corner of W. 6th St and Southbound St in Lexington. You won't be disappointed.

I've been eating here for about 40 years. Great hot dogs but the Kearney burger has no equal. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great little gem, I stopped in while traveling and had 2 red dogs with chili and order of fries. Very different chili from what I'm use to but it was delicious and the fries were hot and fresh. Customer service was great as I was considered a rookie being my first time. Definitely will stop back.

First time customer. My husband and I had a burger and fries. The fries were seasoned great! The burger was fresh. They have a jalapeño pimento cheese. My husband liked it. We will return. I want to try the chili cheese fries and hot dog next time. I heard they are good!
