Ferrell's Snappy Service

My kinda place. Food was good. However , Madisonville Ferrell's is my pick.Worked there a few years

Cute little hole in the wall which serves breakfast and lunch (or dinner). They quit serving breakfast at 10, so get up early! Hamburger was pretty decent. I chose not to get the "cheeseburger" because they use American cheese, which I can't abide as it's not real cheese. The gal at the grill was super nice and had great earrings. The other gal was ok but not very friendly, IMHO, but she wasn't rude either. They made a pretty good team and the meal was inexpensive. Go, y'all!

If you're looking for that old school diner appeal, THIS IS YOUR SPOT. They've been there since 1936, so it's genuine, not something that's cheap and replicated and they're trying to make it that way. If you've read some other reviews and they talk about the chili, believe it. Their chili bowl is outstanding! Me and my wife split a bowl because I was worried it was one of those chili types where they put green peppers and tons of onions in, which I do not do. However to my delight, there were barely any peppers or onions! Woohoo! Also, like other reviews have mentioned, they don't have French fries here, so keep that n mind. Honestly conflicted about this-on one hand I don't care because I don't eat all my fries anyways n the other hand, I like them more than a bag of chips. Cost was exactly what I'm looking for! $19.29 for 2double cheeseburgers, bowl of chili, one sweet tea, one water. Also, yes, it is the smallest restaurant I've ever been in-not necessarily a bad thing...unless you traveled a little out of the way thinking differently? I do highly recommend this place, but keep in mind it might be a better strategy to call in a take out order and eat it elsewhere. Just a thought. Bottom line, they will be getting repeat business from this guy.

Talk about a local icon! This little restaurant is tucked inside of an old building on the corner in the historic district in downtown Hopkinsville KY! All the locals know Ferrells hamburgers! Made to order and oh so good! Grab a bag of chips or cup of chili to go or sit right there at the lunch counter. The staff is always so nice and the food is fresh hot and fast! Best burger around!

Absolute best burger and Chili in the Nation! We drive here and to the Cadiz location.

Cute little burger joint, the absolute tiny scale just makes it seem so much more cute knowing they have held their place in a small town. The burgers were pretty good, super fresh veggies on top and crisp bacon. The prices were very reasonable as well.

This a historic hole in the wall hamburger joint. The menu is burgers, a few other sandwiches, chips, soft drinks, and basic breakfast items. The place is tiny but vintage. It is lunchtime on a Saturday and one person is working the grill and another taking orders, making drinks, and doing everything else. A bar with 7 stools faces the food prep area which features a shiny stainless steel back wall, vintage neon clock and neon trim at the ceiling. The place has a definite dive feel. Service is definitely not "fast food" because of the limited staff and no obvious sense of urgency. Not a smile was seen from either of the two staff members.I got a double hamburger with mayonnaise. They did not have lettuce or tomato. The patties are small and a double is probably equivalent to a regular quarter pound hamburger. The burger was actually quite good. They smash a ball hamburger by hand on the grill and the edges get a little frayed and crispy. The whole thing was really quite delicious.I give the place three stars, not because of the quality of the burger, but because of the slow service and unfriendly attitude of the staff.

Ferrell's is a Hoptown staple and this is their best and original location. Ferrell's has been around forever, thriving on a simple menu and charmingly greasy grill. Don't expect ambience outside of that of an old Southern diner -bright lights and straight forward service. While I didn't grow up in Hoptown, my mom did in the 50s, so I've been eating Ferrell's my entire life. My mom would buy in bulk, freeze them, and bring them back to FL.Ferrell's is like a visiting a historical, nostalgic landmark where you can get the same great burger you always could. Burgers are cheap and delicious. They are thin patties - think about the size of a McDonald's burger. I recommend it with everything. You may need a few burgers to be full. Know that if you order your burger with cheese, the upcharge makes each burger quite a bit more.

Good burgers. Very friendly and courteous service. Been around for almost 100 years. Go for the experience.

Ferrell's burgers taste the same today as they did 20 years ago. The product they put out has always been consistent every time I've ordered. It's delicious. The place stays packed and lined out the door.The diner doesn't look like it's been cleaned in the last 20 years. The door you have to enter looks nasty, the floor and barstools are absolutely disgusting, and the employees didn't look very clean either. The grill cook actually yelled and huffed at me because SHE put mustard on my burger and I wouldn't eat it, because I'd ordered it no mustard, add mayo instead. I can't remember if their burgers have always come with two tops or if the grill lady just slapped mine together however she could, but two tops were yummy The two waitresses were friendly. I'm sure their day would be easier if someone with a little more pleasant of a demeanor worked the grill. Did I mention that the entire place is about the size of a laundry room? You can literally hear the person at the other end of the counter chewing.
