For more than 4 decades, Juanita Flannery and her crew at the Smokey Valley Truck Stop have been serving up down-home, country meals for locals and passing motorists. On September 30, at 12:00 pm, the truck stop’s doors will shut forever.
The Smokey Valley Truck Stop sits at the junction of I-64 and KY 2 in Olive Hill, Kentucky.  The institution has charmed diners with its home-cooked meals and hospitality for decades and has even been featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Dives and Drive-ins.”
While the truck stop stopped selling fuel years ago, that hasn’t discouraged truck drivers from stopping by, Flannery said.
Truck drivers and tourists, hungry for a taste of home and maybe a slice of Flannery’s famous coconut cream pie, will surely be sad to see the truck stop shut down.
Flannery and her crew cooked food from scratch. Â She made dozens of homemade biscuits each day and at least 3 coconut cream pies each day.
No doubt, many will be sad to see the place shut down.
If you’re in the area before the 30th, swing by and grab a slice of pie.
