      Are those burgers as great as they look?

      I can't believe those prices, particularly the $1.60 tuna sandwich!

        Oops!

        Next time you visit Moonlite, you should save a little room for a Dipper burger

          Oh goodness, yes! We always order them plain with cheese, nothing to take away from the flavor of the burger itself.

                    Looks mighty tasty! What exactly are the Big Boy, Chuckwagon and Gems? What kind of ham sandwich is it that they serve?

                      I had to do a "double take" when looking at those prices. Sheesh!

                        I noticed the same thing. You had better hurry and get there or they might double in the next week.

                          I have to hand it to this restaurant..............how they can stay in business with some of those prices is hard to figure! I would love to go there to see what their fish sandwich might be at that price.

                              For western Kentucky, I'd say those prices for that type of restaurant are pretty normal.

                                The Big Boy is a double dipper burger, a bit larger patty....I always order mine plain b/c the taste is too good to cover up Chuckwagon is a breaded pork tenderloin, Gems are like tator tots I think, I always order the fries, so I'm not 100% sure.

                                  They stay packed! I had to wait in line, in the middle of the road, 6 cars back to even get into the drive that day. And it's always like that, open to close. My husband did get the fish one time and it's actually pretty good size, and very tasty. Everything there is really tasty. I just can't bring myself to order anything else...haha
