Description

This small-town Mt. Vernon food shack serves hearty handmade burgers, fresh fried sides and standout desserts — milkshakes, ice cream and a much-loved coleslaw — at wallet-friendly prices. Locals praise the flavor and value, but expect uneven portions and meat quality, slow or disorganized service at times, and occasional cleanliness and hygiene concerns. It’s a comforting, casual spot with charm and loyal fans, best for those seeking classic comfort food rather than polished dining.

The restaurant may not have much visual appeal, but the cheeseburger and Cajun fries were outstanding! The shakes were fantastic as well!

Ask for the fresh ground burger. You won't be disappointed.

Food is usually spot on, but I tried the new mushroom swiss burger. Definitely a big mistake. The gravy was gloppy like paste and the burger was overcooked so badly that it was hard

I have been stopping by the back shack for over 40 years. I love the style on the inside. We used to cruise Mount Vernon when we were kids the town would basically be a line from Napa parking lot to the other end. Waving at friends getting girls and listening to something on 98.1 WKQQ LEXINGTON radio station and blasting it out the window. We would stop by the SNACK SHACK for shakes. Mount Vernon is home to the Rockcastle County Rockets. Go Rockets!
