This is a real fun place to have a meal and a drink. A small neighborhood place that has been there for years. It's like going to the Cheers Bar. We walked in and immediately saw someone we knew. The tables are all tall so you have to sit on bar stools, but they're padded so comfortable. The menu is limited, but they have homemade soup and their specialty hamburgers and cheeseburgers. I ordered an unusual soup, Chicken Baja and a Cheeseburger with chips. My wife ordered a Chicken Sandwich. Both were absolutely delicious. Prices are reasonable and it's strictly cash only. There is an ATM next to the bar.

Great burger. Very small local dive. Enjoyed the atmosphere as there are a lot of locals having a good time and chatting it up. Beer was cold.Service was pretty quick, considering they were slammed with a lunch crowd.This is a CASH ONLY place, so make sure to have some dollar$ with you.

I grew up in the area but was never of legal drinking age. while in town visiting my parents I stopped in for a bit last Sunday. I would totally hang out at this bar if it were in my neighborhood m I talked to some people at Mr. G's tonight who said Clay S. Is still the owner. I haven't seen that dude in 30+ years

Fun local diner. Delicious food, great service and fun atmosphere. We came for lunch and hung out with the "regulars"! You can tell this is a popular lunch spot and easy to see why! The parking will all be in the timing as it is a little small for such a popular spot. You order at the bar and it is a cash only venue. No worries as they have an ATM machine on site.

A cozy place where everybody knows your name and has probably the best burger grill in the Highlands. Don't get surprised when you find out it's cash only.

It's a trifecta win on good, service, and ambiance. A laid back diner/bar setting that is cash only. They have an in house cash machine. I enjoyed as I often do chili with cheese and noodles. A cheeseburger dressed with no onion as side of potato chips. There is constant carrying on from regulars around you. Most everyone is friendly, staff and patrons.

Kern's Korner is a great local neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy, but adds to its charm. The food is cheaply priced and the cheeseburgers are fantastic! If you're looking for a nice casual spot to have a quick meal and some drinks, this is your place. They have a nice outdoor seating area as well that is covered by a tent that was great for my family and I when we went. It is cash only, so don't forget to bring some when you come!

I admit I've known about Kerns Korner for years and never stopped by until recently (Post Pandemic). My friend and I stopped here on a Saturday evening to try something different. There is a private parking lot and street parking available. We parked on the street. We went inside and there was bar and table seating. There is no table service here and a big menu is posted to the wall, all ordering is done at the bar.My friend got the regular cheeseburger burger and I went with the patty melt w/o grilled onions. We both ordered regular cokes as a drink and sat at a table. Our food was brought to us by the bartender/cook a short time later, we didn't wait very long. My friend enjoyed his cheeseburger and ate it all in one setting. I did enjoy my patty melt however I forget what kind of cheese was on it, it was actually very good and, I was able to eat it all. We did get a small bag of Lays Chips w/ our burgers and I will say I find it odd this place doesn't do fries either. My reasons for 3 stars, I wouldn't say our first visit here was terrible but rather different in some ways. One of them being the set up of the establishment. I'm positive this place is 21 and up beings there is only bar seating and high setting tables, no families were dining in either. If this place is 21 and up, I had no idea. Another thing that stood out to me was we didn't see any women clientele either except for maybe outside, everyone there was mature older men and maybe a few younger men. We could definitely tell everyone here knew each other and this is a place where more mature clientele hang out. We did see another female come in but she quickly left. It does make me wonder why there weren't a whole lot of women here, idk if the men scare them away here or what. The bathrooms here are set up odd as well, similar to Mag Bar, just a toilet in a small room and a sink outside. There are 2 of them for men and women. And the last thing which I mentioned earlier is that they don't have fries which is odd. Most everyone likes fries with their burgers. Our bartender/cook was friendly this visit and seemed to have things under control with an almost full bar and not so full dining area. He did great this visit, and was tipped well. (NOTE; CASH ONLY, ATM is available here)Not a place we would frequent on a regular basis but, will return for the burgers. Definitely want to try the regular cheeseburger next time.
