About Wayne's Place

Wayne's Place is an American restaurant and country store located at 11061 US-431 in Dunmor, KY. The establishment functions as a grill diner with a variety of made-to-order food options priced between $1 and $10. It also sells snacks, ice cream, fishing bait, and tackle, catering to both locals and travelers in the area.

Customers appreciate the friendly service, generous portions, and clean, small-town atmosphere.

    This place is convenient because it’s basically the only store out there. The food is good and cooked to order. There are always random people hanging out in the store. Locals i assume only thing i don’t like is that i feel like they just make up the prices of things depending on who they’re serving. Sometimes the item will have a price printed on it but they will say it’s more.

    Its an icon of Dunmor and Lake Malone, more of a grill diner now than a country store, you can still your quick soda, chips, candy snacks. They have fishing bait and some tackle.

    Stopped here with my family during our camping trip at Lake Malone State Park (it's only 8 minutes up the road from the campground). The service was very friendly and efficient, the store was clean and the food was delicious. They have a full menu with so many delicious options. They also sell ice cream! If we're ever up that way again, we'll definitely be stopping by!

    ​If you're traveling through the sticks, do yourself a favor and pull into Wayne's. This isn't just a place to fill up your tank; it's a true, old-school roadside gem. ​The gas prices were fair—no rural gouging here—but the real star of the show is the diner. Stepping inside is like a warm hug. It's clean, cozy, and has that perfect "small-town" atmosphere

    This is a solid 5-star IF your expectations are aligned. This is a “country store” with some basic snack and other necessities and solid, homemade food. Friendly service and generous portions are on the menu, but don’t expect a Michelin star experience.

    There was a human skull in my caesar salad. Just how I like it!
