There's a common saying that goes, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Many have had to live up to this message over the past several weeks, including those who own small, local businesses. Local restaurants in Kentucky have had to make adjustments to continue to serve the community - and give everyone a break from cooking. Many eateries serve up mouthwatering burgers in the Bluegrass, and W. W. Cousins in Louisville is definitely a local favorite. Voted some of the best burgers in Kentucky, the staff worked together to build a drive-thru by hand and it's this tough, "from scratch" mentality that is keeping the burgers coming.

Even in the middle of a pandemic, there are many places where you can pick up a burger throughout Kentucky.

However, not all of those places are created equal and if you're looking for one of the best burgers in Kentucky, check out W. W. Cousins in Louisville.

This local eatery has been around since 1983 and has been voted the best burgers in Kentucky and Louisville several times.

It's typically a unique, family-friendly place to dine where the burgers and buns are made from scratch and there's a tree climbing in the middle of the restaurant.

But what happens when a restaurant that typically offers dining room only seating can no longer welcome customers inside?

If you're W. W. Cousins, you build a drive-thru from scratch in less than 12 hours.

The owners and staff of W. W. Cousins got this drive-thru up and running very quickly, in hopes of supporting the employees and of course the hungry community.

They weren't quite sure how things would work, but the drive-thru has been a success and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

That means that if you're a fan of what many consider to be the best burger in Louisville, you can still grab one to enjoy at home.

Choose from 1/3 lb, 1/2 lb, or even a monster 1 lb burger and top it how you like. You will immediately appreciate the made from scratch burgers and buns.

Make it a combo and enjoy your burger with a side of fries and a fountain drink.

You can utilize the new drive-thru, or W. W. Cousins is also now delivering through Door Dash.
