Ferrellies as we call, is the is the favorite early morning eats. Yea they dont wash their hands or wear hair nets or use proper preparing and cooking procedures.But if you eat there like us locals for years you too will not be affected by colds the flu and all these other things. You see ferrells have bilt our immune system. Dont spend all that money on medicine. Go to ferrralls and get a burger ummmmmmmmmm
Been a local favorite my whole life - 37 years!!!!: Ferrell's is more than a hamberger joint - it is history for all locals. When my oldest daughter comes to town with friends she plans a late night trip for burgers.
Eat At Your Own Risk: The place was tiny, just what I was looking for. A friendly old boy took the cheeseburger order - "dressed with all the fixin's." Then I took a seat on one of the 15 diner stools in the restaurant.
That was when the scary stuff started. I was forced to watch some of the worst food handling habits I've ever seen. In a one-square-foot space of wooden cutting board, I watched a woman pat out raw ground beef, pull apart lettuce, slice tomato, and dress hamburger buns. There was no hand-washing. There was no separation of raw from complete. Those beef-covered hands reached into a filthy little frig right next to that cutting board to pull out both more beef and raw vegetables.
I've eaten on roadsides in Thailand. I've eaten from handcarts in Manhattan. I've never been as disgusted as I was in Madisonville. This cute little joint is across from the street from the county courthouse, but there is apparently no health department in Hopkins County. There was no health rating hanging in the restaurant.
There were several regulars in the shop. Some looked pretty tough - probaby mean from all the GI difficulties that keep them awake at night. I paid, took my burgers carryout, and tossed the whole thing in the trash. Oh, the diet Pepsi seemed fine.
Stay away, at least until the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department of Health takes some responsibility for inspecting and training restaurant employees.
