Wheatless Mushroom Swiss Burger and Onion Rings

Wheatless Mushroom Swiss Burger and Onion Rings

There are restaurant reviews I’m happy to write about, then there are restaurant reviews I am thrilled to write about. Count this review of Wheatless in Bowling Green among the “thrilled” reviews.

Whether you have to eat gluten free (like moi) or, for health conscious reasons, choose to eat gluten free all or most of the time… Wheatless is going to leave you just as speechless as it did me.

Heck, even if you have never even thought about the phrase gluten free – let alone followed the restricted diet – Wheatless will blow you away.

Excellent food does that after all.

Back when I could eat gluten/wheat, one of my favorite things on the planet was the Mushroom Swiss Burger at Hardee’s, so when I saw the Mushroom Swiss Burger on the menu at Wheatless, my plan was set.

When you order one of their burgers or sandwiches, you get your choice of a side.  Another of my pre-gluten free obsessions were onion rings, so when I saw them on the menu, I practically sang the words to the adorable girl behind the counter.

Michael ordered the Down Under Chicken Sandwich (chicken, bacon, mushrooms, cheese, honey mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions) and a side of Macaroni and Cheese. He also added a side of Cheesy Bacon Potatoes to our order because he’s my hero.

Wheatless Gluten Free Restaurant Bowling Green Ky

Wheatless: Bowling Green’s First Gluten Free Restaurant

When I know I’ll be writing a review, I love to try as many different menu items as possible. Most of the time (as is certainly the case with Wheatless), I know I’ll be going back often enough to try the rest!

Before getting to the actual review, I just want to say that this type of restaurant is both a blessing and a dream come true to people like me, my oldest daughter, and the many other people who have to eat a gluten free diet.  For so many of us, even a crumb can lead to days of pain and sickness. Yes… one crumb.

Serious business.

So, to have a restaurant where you have zero fears of cross contamination, zero questions like, “Well, the menu says this is gluten free, but what if it’s on the same griddle as food that isn’t…”

No worries. No fears. The only question? What do I eat first?!

Everything was so uncommonly delicious, the only way to do this review is to take it one thing at a time.

Wheatless Mushroom Swiss Hamburger and Gluten Free Onion Rings

Delicious Mushroom Swiss Burger and Onion Rings

The Mushroom Swiss Burger

First of all, the buns at Wheatless are simply outstanding. They aren’t just the best gluten free bread I’ve ever had – they are the best hamburger buns I’ve ever had, period. They were perfectly lightly grilled – leaving them warm but soft enough to enjoy each bite along with the delicious burger.

The burger, itself, was extra special. It certainly didn’t taste like any burger you can get out anywhere. It was just an excellent burger and I thoroughly enjoyed and celebrated every bite. We won’t tell Hardee’s, but it blew their Mushroom Swiss Burger out of the water.

Wheatless (Bowling Green, Ky) Mushroom and Swiss Burger and Onion Rings

Gluten Free Onion Rings Mean a Renewed Obsession

The Onion Rings

If you’ve read many of my restaurant reviews, you know that I used to be obsessed with onion rings – to the point of insanity.  I could have gone to the swankiest restaurant in the world and only raved about their onion rings (if, that is, they were rave-worthy).

Thanks to Wheatless, the insane obsession is back! These gluten free onion rings blew my mind. In fact, they’re blowing it again right now, just remembering them. They smelled like Heaven to this onion ring fanatic – as soon as they were put in front of me, I nearly melted out of my seat. Appearance and taste-wise, they remind me a great deal of the legendary Bloomin’ Onion at Outback.

Except I can eat these!

In fact, I personally think these onion rings are better than any Bloomin’ Onion I’ve ever had – or any onion rings for that matter.  They’re perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked.

It’s like Santa came early.

As I sat there in front of a Mushroom Swiss Burger and Onion Rings, I was very much like a kid on Christmas morning… with “toys” I was convinced I’d never have.

Cheesy Bacon Potatoes

Cheesy Bacon Potatoes

Cheesy Bacon Potatoes

One word… bacon. I love it when restaurants have plenty of options for sides. Unfortunately, most don’t, do they? They’ll offer you onion rings, fries, or coleslaw.  At Wheatless, your choice of sides for lunch or dinner are…

  • Cheesy Bacon Potatoes
  • Mac and Cheese
  • Onion Rings
  • Fries
  • Fresh Fruit
  • Steamed Vegetables

The cheesy bacon potatoes were extra delicious, but surprisingly enough, I’ll tell you something that was even more delicious.. the Mac and Cheese.

Macaroni and Cheese

Holy cats, the Mac and Cheese was so out of this world delicious it made my jaw drop. I kept having to pick it back up off the floor after each bite. I’ve never had better mac and cheese ever – with gluten or without.

It is just exceptionally, spectacularly, uncommonly delicious and that’s all I have to say about that.

Creamy, delicious, warm, and wonderful. I guess it wasn’t all I had to say after all.

{Review Continued Below…}

The Down Under Chicken Sandwich

I was glad Michael ordered a chicken sandwich because I was anxious to taste their chicken. You can tell a lot about a restaurant simply by tasting their chicken – if it’s bland, it’s a sign the cook’s heart isn’t in it. If it’s flavorful and could, if it had to, stand on its own – creating a delicious experience all by itself – then you know the cook is in it to win it.

This chicken was rockin’ the Casbah.  It was delicious and so was the honey mustard.

Michael eats a lot of chicken sandwiches, so when he said, “This is the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in a very long time,” I only had one thing to say… gimme a bite.

He was right on the money.

Seriously, every bite we had was memorable and worth writing home about.

Wheatless Lemon Blossoms

Deliciously Lemony Lemon Blossoms

Gluten Free Mixes, Croutons, Pizza Crust, Bread, Cookies…

I also love the fact that they have a lot of different gluten free mixes (Pancake Mix, Flour Blend, Fish Breading), breads, and desserts for sale.  They even sell big, beautiful gluten free pizza crusts!

On this trip, I tried to reign myself in. I bought a bag of Lemon Blossoms and one bite told me I’d made an excellent decision.

Have you ever had the Lemon Loaf Slices at Starbucks? Oh, man, I fondly remember them. These Lemon Blossoms remind me of those Heavenly beauties – but with the delicious sugar glaze all over each blossom. Ridiculously delicious.

On my next trip, I’m going to grab the Fish Breading, some of their buns, a pizza crust, and more lemon blossoms.

I’ve decided not to reign myself in next time.

Wheatless Gluten Free Mixes

Gluten Free Mixes, Pizza Crusts, and Desserts

Vegetarians will also find Wheatless to be a dream come true, as will people who have to follow their own restrictive diets due to health concerns. Their menu is clearly marked and easy to follow – you can find plenty of wonderful things to eat while dodging your own personal allergens.

In addition to the delicacies raved about above, Wheatless also has…

  • BBQ Roadhouse Burger (beef, bbq, fried onion, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, pickle)
  • Portabella Burger (portabella mushroom, Swiss cheese, spinach, sauteed onions and peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles)
  • Kona Chicken (chicken, ham, Swiss cheese, pineapple, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles)
  • Club Sandwich (ham and turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onion)
  • Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich (pulled pork, pickles)
  • BLT Sandwich (fried bacon, lettuce, tomatoes)
  • Potato Soup
  • Vegetable Soup
  • Cobb Salad
  • Southwestern Salad
  • Summer Salad
  • Chicken Noodle Soup
  • AND MORE!!! All. Gluten. Free.

Wheatless Also Offers Breakfast!

The breakfast menu at Wheatless sounds as extraordinary and delicious as the lunch/dinner menu is. Here’s a small sampling:

  • Omelettes
  • Toaster Sandwiches
  • French Toast
  • Banana Nut Pancakes
  • Pancakes with Chocolate Chips, Chocolate Syrup, and Whipped Topping
  • Eggs
  • Bacon
  • Sausage
  • Country Ham

Wait. Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Chocolate Syrup and Whipped Topping? That is everything that is good and pure and decent in the world.

Next time.

I 110% recommend you head to Wheatless in Bowling Green for your next meal (or meals… heck there are plenty of places to shop, make a day of it!). Whether you have to eat gluten free or simply love GREAT food, this will quickly become one of your all-time favorite restaurants.

Read more about Wheatless on their website and check out their great menu. I’m just so excited to actually have a gluten free restaurant within reach!

Be sure to tell everyone you know all about Wheatless – especially the gluten free crowd. Like I said before, this is really and truly a blessing for us, and a delicious one, at that.

Rafferty’s in Bowling Green, Kentucky: Everything They Do is a Perfect 10

by Leave a Comment

Rafferty's Grilled Chicken and Sweet Potato

As I said in a previous Rafferty’s in Bowling Green, Ky Review, it’s one of our favorite restaurants – not just in Bowling Green.. but one of our favorite Kentucky restaurants, period. It’s always outstanding and the service couldn’t be better if you were assigned three personal servers.

On a recent trip, I ordered something that turned out to be so delicious I could have wept tears of joy: BBQ Chicken (Hickory-grilled Chicken Breast basted with a ridiculously tasty BBQ sauce, then topped with Monterrey Jack cheese and hickory smoked bacon). I got a great salad and a huge, delicious baked sweet potato as my sides.

This sweet potato deserves its own paragraph, so here we go.  My oldest daughter (Emily) and I are obsessed with sweet potatoes. Wherever we go, we order a sweet potato and eagerly wait to dive in, teeth first. When we’re together, we compare notes – and when we aren’t together, we take pictures of our conquest to taunt one another.

I got her good with this one.  I think I racked up conquest points for days.

Rafferty’s baked sweet potatoes are HUGE and cooked perfectly. The inside is soft, beautiful, and delicious, and the outside is slightly crisp.  They use real butter (it SO makes a difference) and what tasted like a combination of brown sugar and cinnamon. It was just too fantastic for words.

Even Rafferty’s salads deserve their own paragraph! They’re always wonderful and come with their highly original and delicious bread.

Raffert'ys Grilled Pork Chop and Asparagus

Michael ordered a grilled pork chop, asparagus, and side salad (pictured above).  While his plate isn’t as photogenic as mine, it was out of this world. I’m really not all that big on pork, but if all pork tasted like this one, I would be. Tender, juicy, flavorful.. just what we’ve come to expect from Bowling Green’s Rafferty’s.

The next time you’re looking for an extra special place for lunch or dinner (without “extra special” prices), check out Rafferty’s. They won’t let you down.

They couldn’t spell disappointment with a dictionary.

One of Our Favorite Bowling Green Restaurants: Rafferty’s

Rafferty's Salad with Bleu Cheese Dressing

Bowling Green restaurants almost always amaze me.  You’ll find lots of Bowling Green restaurant reviews on Genuine Kentucky to back that up.  As far as cities go, Bowling Green is in the upper echelon when it comes to restaurant management.

Do they have a training facility where they train restaurant managers and staff the way Samurai warriors were trained?  If so, well played Bowling Green, well played.

I’m a small town girl (born and raised in Madisonville who now calls Owensboro home), so I have to say I couldn’t handle Bowling Green’s traffic on a daily basis – I don’t have a lot of patience and I have even less driving skills – but I am obsessed with their restaurants.

The most recent restaurant my husband and I fell in love with is Bowling Green’s Rafferty’s.

With all the respect a Kentucky girl could muster (and that’s a lot), I must tell you that you only THINK you’ve had the best baked beans in the world.  Unless you’ve had Rafferty’s Spike’s Mean Beans, you have only had the second or third best baked beans. Let me assure you, baked beans are one of my culinary obsessions.  I know my beans like Popeye knows spinach, like Bugs Bunny knows carrots, and like Yogi knows Pic-i-nic baskets.

Spike’s Mean Beans are the most flavorful and delicious baked beans in the world. They don’t just have a “kick,” they have a ninja kick.  Evil Spike Beans trained in the art of assassination and espionage of all other restaurant baked beans!

But let’s start at the beginning.

First of all, Rafferty’s is a showplace.  This is one gorgeous restaurant – inside and out. Everywhere you look, all you see is beauty. The ambiance is beautiful, the tables are gorgeous, the architecture is stunning, and the ceilings are too cool for their own good.

Yes the ceilings.  Yes I looked.  I am the very definition of a visual person and am utterly fascinated with architecture and decor.  When a building, home, or restaurant goes out of its way to impress me, you’d better believe I’m going to make a big deal about it (which is why I”m always crowing about Lake Barkley State Park‘s gorgeous lodge).  I SO wanted to take a picture of the inside of the restaurant – yes, even the ceiling – but there were simply too many people.  I didn’t want to look like a tourist or a nut for crying out loud.

Suffice to say, the restaurant is stunning.

Rafferty's Salad with Catalina Dressing

Our lovely server (“Murray” – I remember her name because I fell in love with it) was extremely friendly and totally on top of her game.  She, like every worker I saw, smiled the entire time as they worked in their beautiful environment.  I noticed the workers helped one another out a lot and just seemed genuinely happy. I saw something I really, really liked – a manager (in his nice shirt, slacks, and tie) helped a young girl bus several tables.  You don’t see that every day, but it stood out as pretty special.

I can’t put my finger on it, but every single employee I saw seemed to be giving 100 percent.  You know what it reminds me of, now that I think about it? When we have family over for a holiday, birthday dinner, or Sunday meal, each one of us goes out of our way to make sure everyone is comfortable.  Heaven knows I obsess over making sure the food’s just right. Our only concern is that our much-beloved guests have a “perfect” day.  Of course we’re all smile on these occasions because we’re happy.

The staff at Rafferty’s struck me as a family that was entertaining other family members or friend. Try telling me that’s something you’ve experienced at a lot of restaurants.

We ordered a salad (around $3 extra) to go with our meal and, let me tell you, that was a great call.  This was one spectacular salad. Rafferty’s salads are generous, fresh, and fantastic. Riding in on the salad plate was a little bit of Heaven in the form of a croissant.  SO delicious! There was a buttery honey flavor that nearly made me melt out of my seat. Come on, nothing has a right to be that delicious – it just isn’t fair.  When you go to Rafferty’s, no matter what you order, add a salad. For just $3 or so, it’s money very well spent and it’s more than worth it.

Michael got Blue Cheese dressing and I chose Catalina. Both were excellent.  They have a lot of amazing sounding dressings to choose from including Mustard-Honey, Garlic Ranch, Hot Bacon, Vinaigrette, and 1,000 Island.

Rafferty's Fried Catfish and Spike's Mean Beans

I, of course, ordered fried catfish as my entree with (one of the best choices of my life) Spike’s Mean Beans as my side. The catfish at Rafferty’s is like fried catfish I’ve had a few other places (usually high brow restaurants) – the catfish is breaded in a flour-dominated mixture as opposed to a cornmeal-dominated mixture.  Personally, I have to say that I much prefer the cornbread coating. Most people like it both ways, but I’m very particular with my catfish. You could even say picky, I don’t mind.  My husband loved this fried catfish and, in spite the fact that it had a flour-based rather than cornmeal-based coating, it was very, very, VERY good. They give you a generous amount and the catfish is plump. juicy, and full of intoxicating flavor.

The picky butt behind these words simply likes for her fried catfish to wear different attire than her fried chicken.

The tartar sauce that accompanied the catfish was herb-y and fantastic.

I have to say, however, that Spike’s Mean Beans stole the show.  They were so darn good, it’s not even funny.

My husband ordered a pork entree and, after one bite, declared that it was the best pork he’s ever had at any restaurant. I pulled away from my beans long enough to take a bite and, by George, the boy was right.  This pork is unlike any I’ve ever had. You just cannot find pork this tender and flavorful anywhere else.  Words are failing me here (and I work with them all day, every day – how dare they fail me at a time like this?!); I guess the words BEST PORK EVER will have to suffice.

You can choose special toppings for your meat entrees and my husband chose “Blue Cheese Butter.” Outstanding!

He also, of course, ordered grilled asparagus. The boy is obsessed with asparagus like I am obsessed with catfish,  baked beans, and onion rings. It’s a complete and utter obsession. When Murray mentioned that they had grilled asparagus, even though it wasn’t listed on the menu, his eyes lit up. I knew what his side would be.

Rafferty's Pork Chop and Grilled Asparagus

Sometimes ordering asparagus in restaurants can be tricky.  A pet peeve is when they haven’t trimmed (or snapped) the asparagus at the right place – leaving you with a tough end. Hate that! Rafferty’s grilled asparagus was absolute perfection. It was amazing. The grilled flavor, combined with the fact that they cooked it for just the right amount of time, combined with the fact that they snapped it off at JUST the right place make Rafferty’s grilled asparagus an absolute delicacy.

So let’s review:

  • Gorgeous restaurant.
  • Friendly, warm, and happy staff.
  • Best pork in the world. Period.
  • Best baked beans in the world. Period.
  • If not THE best bread in any restaurant, it’s in the top 3. None beat it and only O’Charley’s and Logan’s can hang with it.
  • One of the best salads I’ve ever had in a restaurant.
  • Amazing grilled asparagus.
  • Did I mention the best baked beans in the world?

What are you waiting for? Throw on your shoes and drive to the Rafferty’s nearest you right now.  If Bowling Green is at all within reach, I completely and totally suggest you have your next meal at their Rafferty’s (address below).

Raving Double Dogs in Bowling Green Kentucky Review

Double Dogs in Bowing Green, Kentucky

In my last Double Dogs in Bowling Green Review, I told you just how incredible their hamburgers and fries are. Again, they’re out of this world. So much so that it was difficult to order something else on our most recent trip. I kept thinking about the perfect fries and mouth-watering, delicious burgers.  My desire to have new food to write another review won out, though, and I stepped away from the burgers and fries (not even remotely easy to do).

Fortunately, Double Dogs has a wide range of choices on their menu. You can find everything from wings, burgers, chili dogs, and pizza to tossed salads, pasta salads, and chicken sandwiches. Everything looked so good and sounded so perfect that it was difficult for me to decide.  Michael went with a game plan: Chili Dog.  It wasn’t just any chili dog, as you can see from the picture below… it was a beast! When I saw it, I thought, “Now there’s a man’s chili dog.”  It also smelled incredible, I could smell the amazing chili across the table.

Chili Dog at Double Dogs

We ordered a large order of onion rings (pictured at the top) as an appetizer and they were darn good – outstanding, even.  If they aren’t the best onion rings in Kentucky, they’re certainly one of them.  As you know, I eat onion rings everywhere we go, so I know my rings like a jeweler knows hers. Double Dogs onion rings are spectacular – whether you use their delicious sauce, their Heinz Ketchup (good on them!), or no condiment whatsoever. Excellent, excellent rings. Just look at the delicious coating in the picture.  SO GOOD!

I decided to order a Greek Salad.  It came with the option to add Grilled Chicken or Shrimp for a little extra.  I love shrimp as much as I love catfish and onion rings, so my choice was an easy one. When my Greek Salad came, with 5 huge, succulent grilled shrimp riding shotgun, my eyes popped out of my head. What a gorgeous presentation! I always get a special kick out of a dish that knows how to make an entrance, and Double Dog’s Greek Salad excels at making an entrance.

Double Dogs in Bowling Green, Kentucky

The salad is composed of fresh, healthy, and delicious team players:

  • feta cheese
  • toasted pita triangles
  • spinach
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes
  • roasted red peppers
  • cucumbers
  • black olives
  • artichokes
  • probably the best vinaigrette ever made – EVER

With, of course, the beautiful and delicious shrimp I added.  Sometimes people wonder if a salad will be “filling” enough.  This one certainly was.  I only wish I had another one sitting right in front of me at this moment.

Double Dogs iced tea’s even outstanding!  Our server was nothing short of perfect. She couldn’t have been any friendlier and frequently brought us refills.  I loved that she did so without even asking.  It’s always kind of funny when a server asks if we want refills when we’ve barely eaten anything.  This young lady was as on the ball as any server I’ve ever encountered. She also nailed two other things that separate a good server from a bad server: She asked if we wanted dessert BEFORE bringing our ticket and she asked if we wanted drinks to go.

Our adorable little brunette server was all over her game. If I ran a restaurant, I’d want an entire staff just like her.

Double Dogs is located at 1780 Scottsville Road in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  They’re open for lunch every day at 11:00. They’re open till midnight Sunday through Wednesday and till 1:00 am Thursday through Saturday. View their menu online and plan your course of attack.

Double Dogs in Bowling Green, Kentucky: Mushroom Swiss Burger and Onion Rings

The hardest part about doing Kentucky Restaurant Reviews? You’re looking at it. I have to relive the deliciousness of food such as Double Dog’s Mushroom & Swiss Burger and Onion Rings while I’m, literally, miles away from having another. This is agony.

{EDIT 3/23/2015: Before I go any further, I want to apologize for the picture above – when I first began doing reviews, the camera on my phone was.. well… kind of a weakling. The pictures I took with it don’t live up to the ones I can take today – but I don’t want to delete them, because – at the very least – they did capture the moment.}

My husband and I took one of our beloved one day mini-vacations through Kentucky last Saturday. I LIVE for these trips.  I’ll let you in on a little secret: When I’m under the weather or going through something that rips at my nerves (you know – dental visits, agonizing ballgames that are way too close for comfort…), I make everything in my world alright just by thinking about these little trips.  I picture us driving down the road, enjoying the scenery and a conversation or sitting in a Kentucky restaurant enjoying a meal and a conversation (note: there’s always talking if I’m involved).

While I LOVE eating at favorite restaurants, I also get a huge kick out of discovering new favorites. Such was the case Saturday when I was treated to, not one, but two restaurants I’d ever eaten at before. Mark my words, I’ll be returning to each one millions of times.

I’ll tell you about our special supper destination in the next post, but I’m going to let this restaurant review go to the dogs…. Double Dogs.

We ate lunch at one of the cutest restaurants I’ve ever seen, Double Dogs in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  How could an animal lover extraordinaire not fall in love with this place?! While walking into the restaurant, the Double Dog doghouse, with its barking invisible dog, caught me of guard. The highlight of my husband’s day (or week) may have been when I jumped out of my skin.  I got a kick out of it, too, but an even bigger kick out of walking in the door and seeing trees filled with information about, and pictures of, precious shelter dogs and cats that are looking for a little love.

A restaurant with a heart of gold? You had me at hello.

Our adorable server took care of us right off the bat. I was actually shocked at how fast our food arrived. I ordered the Mushroom & Swiss Burger with Onion Rings (you know my ring obsession) and my husband Michael ordered the Betty Burger, fries, and coleslaw.

The Betty Burger

Double Dog’s famous Betty Burger is a ridiculously delicious single patty with American cheese, topped with their (very) special sauce, grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce and pickle. Words cannot describe just how amazing this sauce is. Combined with a burger that can only be described as PERFECT, this makes a stupendous hamburger. Betty is perfection.

The Mushroom Swiss Burger

Gumbo’s Mushroom Swiss Burger is topped with grilled onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, mayo and Dijon mustard. This is unlike any Mushroom and Swiss burger I’ve ever had and, believe me, I’ve had them all. It’s a favorite burger of mine, so I’ve ordered it far and wide. Double Dog’s Mushroom Swiss Burger doesn’t have the sauce that you’ll find on a lot of Mushroom Swiss burgers. It has, instead, Dijon mustard – which, surprisingly enough, is quite delicious.

The Fries, Onion Rings, and Coleslaw

The hand cut fries were exceptional. I’m such an onion ring fanatic that I often slight french fries, but these fries would be darn near impossible to slight. It’d be even more impossible to eat just one. Or ten. Or fifteen…

This is actually one of the few restaurants where I’d consider ordering fries as much as I would my beloved onion rings. I say consider because their onion rings were off the charts spectacular. To be on the safe side, make sure the people at your table order each – trust me, you’ll want BOTH the fries and the onion rings.

The coleslaw was good, at first bite, but it became delicious after being graced with a little salt and pepper. Apparently coleslaw and pasta salad are new items at Double Dogs in Bowling Green. I can’t wait to try the pasta salad – I’m sure, like everything else they’ll be extraordinary.

As huge sports fans, we also LOVED that we were surrounded by tvs, each with sporting events to enjoy. Great onion rings and fries, some of the best burgers on the planet, and sports everywhere you look? How is that not paradise?

This beautiful and fun restaurant, with food so delicious your knees get weak, is open for lunch everyday at 11:00 am. Sunday through Wednesday, they’re open until midnight and Thursday through Saturday, you can feast on deliciousness til 1:00 am.

Double Dog’s burgers, fries, and onion rings are to die for and their wings look sensational. Check out Double Dog’s menu HERE. Better yet, just go and “wing it.”Ã?  Sorry I couldn’t resist.

Double Dog’s is located at 1780 Scottsville Rd. in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Go as soon as you possibly can and then pray, just pray, that they’ll one day open a location in your city.

Double Dogs Betty Burger and Coleslaw

Double Dogs’ Betty Burger and Coleslaw. I’m not sure you’ll find a better hamburger in Kentucky or anywhere else.
