Does Kentucky still have Druthers? (Princeton, Pikeville: home, offer, school)

I will be visiting Leslie County in a few weeks for a week and I am having a nostalgic moment of wanting to eat at Druthers or what was once Burger Queen does it still exist and if so what cities in southeast Kentucky?

An interesting question. I hope this link helps with some history and a quick answer:

Druther's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cool thread....Burger Queen and Druther's bring back great memories.

We had both in Pikeville back in the early 80's...Druther's had a great fish sandwich.

Thats funny I live right below there past Johns Creek school. I will be 30 in Feb and I remember being about 5 or 6 stopping there and Druthers and getting sausage and biscuit every morning before school and then it was burger queen and it was there until I was 15. Lord that seems like many moons ago..

Nice to see you again Bm Yeah I miss Druthers..However, the Meta Mart makes better pizza than any of the big named ones in town

Sunny, the few Druther's that were left were bought out by Dairy Queen. Last one I knew of in western Kentucky was in Princeton. My boys looked forward to going down there and getting one of their double cheese burgers!
Somebody mentioned breakfast at D.Q. The Druther's in Morganfield was bought out and is now a Long John Silver's, but kept the local Druther's management. And what did they bring with them? Druther's breakfast! Should see people look at you when you say you're going for breakfast at Long John Silvers! Somebody joked for a while wondering if they had fish eye gravy! lol Place is busy all morning. Beats the "golden arches"!

Every Druthers around got replaced with Dairy Queen, The one in Mt Washington Ky. kept the Royal Burger. I don't know if their still making these or not, I use to go there a lot. But times have changed, I did go to White Castle with my son yesterday though.
