Dale Hollow Sweets is our go-to shop for coffee, sweet treats, ice cream, and lunch - especially the grilled cheese and grilled bacon and cheese sandwiches! Yum! The family that owns and runs the place is so friendly & kind, and all of the employees have been helpful and lovely. This was a delightful addition to the town- far away from the typical corporate places and a perfect place for coffee and ice cream in Burkesville, KY!

Great little place on the way to Dale Hollow Lake. Owned by a sweet family. Breakfast and lunch were really good. Best place we found to eat while at the state park! Very accommodating for jet ski rentals too! Wonderful little place to stop and grab a bite, bait and some good eats and sweet treats. They will also be offering cabin rentals in the near future!

Great place and friendly staff. If you are camping near by this is a must stop. Been here a few times over the years and it's expanded nicely to a bait shop and a bakery / mini 'diner' that can do pizza to hotdogs to burgers to cold subs. Even hosting a wide range of breakfast meals at a very reasonable price. The deserts are amazing with tons of milkshakes to coffee treats. Some of the best blueberry muffins I've ever had. The two con's / suggestions The candy selection is lacking. We went on an edge season in October but the candy selection was lacking compared to recent trips. I'd really like to see this back to its full glory with the tons of candy for kids to enduldge on. Secondary is the pizza prices. They are a bit steap for what you get... while I fully understand the fact it's the only place for miles paying 17$ for a meatlovers 12 inch pizza is a bit expensive. While good it was nothing to write home about. Definitely scratched that pizza itch. Maybe down to the 14$ I'd see that. The 13$ for a 12 inch single topping was reasonable. All in all minor complaints when your out this far. The staff and other selections at a great price far outweigh the cons.
