awesome. very good chicken sandwiches. great ice cream as well. very nice place all around

I'm so glad our travels led us here! This retro restaurant was full of friendly service and delicious old school food. We didn't have time to spring for desserts and homemade fries really would've made this a 5 star place. The chili dog and chili cheese fries were good. The Stromboli was good but was a bit overcooked on this occasion. We look forward to dining here again to continue trying more of their menu! read more

Quality has gone down hill since change in ownership , Burgers are nasty no taste , milkshakes and cream served in plastic cups that melt before you can enjoy them , use to be line of customers completely around the building now there are very few cars , regular customers are being ignored , new owner keeps changing everything and not for the good , shame because it was always great in the past and can highly recommended but not any more read more

If you're from Cincinnati, this is NOT chili LOL it's hot dog sauce or something... SO sweet I couldn't eat it. I love a good diner, so I did enjoy the ice cream. I ordered a burger, but the wait is so long that the fam was done eating and well I was full. Tater tots w chili and cheese was good minus the chili ..... people from eastern Ky also call this chili but .... 4 way or not it's not my taste. People were friendly. The decor was diner like, the music was a bit loud and annoying but I'm old lolol so try it. Price was steep $32 for three, fam would have liked to spend the extra and hit up Morehead for a steakhouse on the way back! read more

Berryman's Tastytreat - Ale 8 is great! - American Near Me - Mount Sterling, Kentucky

Berryman's Tastytreat - Chili dog and tots - American Near Me - Mount Sterling, Kentucky

Food great. Service. Good. Ambience perfect service good. Wish they were open later.

I've been going to Berryman's since I was a kid, and it's still one of my all-time favorite spots. Some things just don't change--and that's exactly why I love it. Their chili dogs are the real deal, piled just right and full of flavor every single time. Add a bag of Grippo's and an ice-cold Ale-8, and it's basically a perfect meal. There's just something about the place that feels like home. Good food, good memories, and that same hometown vibe I've loved for years. If you know, you know read more

I was working in the area, and decided to try this place for lunch. Service was neither friendly nor unfriendly. I am guessing they aren't used to getting non-local customers very often. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich and onion rings for carry out. The onion rings were excellent! Well worth stopping by here just for the onion rings. My grilled cheese sandwich had cheese and a large amount of bacon. Like 8 strips! The menu didn't mention that bacon was included on the grilled cheese, and I don't eat bacon. There was so much bacon and bacon grease on the sandwich that I couldn't just remove it and eat the grilled cheese. I would stop again for onion rings and I'd order a grilled cheese "hold the bacon." read more

The quality of the food is horrible and overpriced do not recommend even for a stray dog.

This restaurant has been a local staple for years. The owners recently retired and a family member has taken over the business. They have kept the hometown appeal while upgrading the restaurant and improving the menu. The food and service remain the same, which is good. read more

The food isn't nearly what it used to be. They were actually out of hamburger, which for a fast food restaurant is kinda ridiculous. The drive through is ridiculously slow. I understand making things to order, but 30 mins in a drive through with only 4 cars in front of you is a bit much. read more

This has always been one of my favorite places to eat. My godfather used to take me to the original location when I was a kid. Best chili dogs and malts I've had. read more

Despite the picture, Berryman's food is great! Recommend the chili dogs and blizzards!

They have the best hotdogs, fries, and ice creams! My cousin who barely eats anything ate two whole hot dogs and almost 2 large fries!! The employees have fast and awesome service. Really clean, good music, and a TV. Great food options. read more

1951! Fun local diner, with an extensive menu of old school favorites that are still yummy, ..... food grilled burgers, melts, real foot long hotdogs, icecream that tastes like snow cream. Nothing healthy and that is the whole reason you want to visit this gem. Friendly service. Love the charm, eat in or drive thru. read more

I dropped by over a weekend when my son had a baseball tournament nearby. So glad we stopped. My son went with the double cheeseburger. I highly recommend. He wolfed that thing down like there was no tomorrow. My wife got the catfish sandwich. That one, for the price, is hard to beat. It's not the best catfish sandwich I've ever had, but it's pretty darn good, and for four dollars and change, it might be the best value catfish sandwich ever. The shakes are awesome. I went with a hot fudge shake and I didn't want to share. Smooth, creamy goodness right there. I was slightly disappointed with the grilled chicken salad, but you've got to go in knowing that this ain't a salad place. They leave the salad in the fridge, and as y'all know the croutons get gross when you do that. That all being said, the salad does in a pinch, but there are other options here that these cats excel with. So I'd go with something different the next time I'm back. And I'll be back. Great place to stop on Main Street in Mt Sterling. Great burgers, catfish, fantastic shakes, and service with a smile. It's a definite don't miss when you're in town. read more

Berryman's Tastytreat - Grilled chicken salad - American Near Me - Mount Sterling, Kentucky

Nice local place to eat. Have a lot of food options on the menu to choose from. The drive thru can be slow especially thru busy hours. It does have a nice vibe around the place and is very retro if that's your thing. read more

The chicken club is to die for and the funnel cake fries! And the banana peppers! I guess some would call it a greasy spoon but the food is so good and reasonable! read more

Philly cheese steak - but the meat wasn't even cut. Fried mushrooms were cold on the middle. Felt like a Philly Cheeseburger - bring back the old Berrymans :( read more

They have the best tasting onion rings! I love them! The line to order can be quite long but it moves quickly and they are always friendly.

We love going here. It's drive thru only but is a nice treat. The food is fresh and the cheeseburgers are delicious. Would recommend the loaded twists fries (I think that's what they called them) they were delicious. My only gripe is that a lot of their items aren't on the menu. read more

Five-star Onion Rings! Come for the Chili Dogs, stay for the soft ice cream. Since 1951, A classic drive-in (pre Covid) is now a classic drive through. Traditional fare done well enough to keep a line far up to the street. Every town has a classic, and this is Mt. Sterling's. read more

The best. Ale 8 is always ice cold (literally) and the chilli dogs and buns are delicious. The dreamsicle ice cream is to die for.

if you like overpriced small portions of food and watery milkshakes, this is your place. This place used to be a hometown favorite here with famous chili dogs and awesome shakes but the last ten years have seen this place driven into the dirt. spend your money elsewhere and you won't be disappointed. read more

Classic, delicious & original style fast food. Their homemade Cherry Coke is .. always pleased.

Great place to get an ice cream cone! I stop by occasionally for the ice cream. The employees are always nice and friendly. The ice cream is good. I haven't tried any of their other food yet, but plan to soon. read more

Almost every town has there own iconic non-francise restaurant. I am a sucker for the historic 1950's ice cream and burger joint. I have sought them out from St.Pete Forida to Huntington WV to all points across Kentucky. I love them. They go so well with my 1957 Chevy. With Covid you can not get into the Dining Room at present. However, the drive thru is open and in full force. When I arrived the drive thru was totally filled it went from the road , wrapping around the building and over to the other side of the building. I drove around town for a while and the hour or so I was in town the line never let up. Apparently, the locals like the place. I was surprised when I got in the line. I expected it to take for ever but surprisingly the crew working got everyone thru the line quickly. I ordered tater tots, onion rings and a chili bun. The food did not disappoint. The tots where good with ketchup and salt, the onion rings were crispy on the outside with a good onion flavor on the inside. And the chili bun, had the most wonderful smell. Just skip the calories of the hot dog and get straight to the bun and chili. You can ask for toppings on the chili bun but I did not think to order them. Next time mustard, onions and relish on the chili bun. If you are in Mt.Sterling stop by and get yourself some drive thru nostalgia. It will be worth the drive. read more

All I've heard from my wife is about this hole in the wall local joint with chili things. So here we go.... Yes Berryman's has chili... and they put it on everything. Is it good... I guess. Is it worth the drive... no. If you are over there it's worth it instead of fast food. I didn't think much of it. Frankly... it's flat top burgers, boiled hot dogs, fried everything else with most of it offered under a scoop of hot dog chili. Is there better places... yes. Is it worth a stop... yes once. Unless you're me and married to someone who loves it. Then I'm forced to eat it. Oh well. Things you do for your wife. read more

Small family owned business mainly known for their hot dogs although there are several choices. They sell chili made on the spot. Locals love the ice cream also read more

A must stop when I'm in Mount Sterling. I have no idea if the rest of the menu is any good, I only get the chili dogs-- the best I've ever had. read more

Berryman's Tastytreat - Best chili dog ever - American Near Me - Mount Sterling, Kentucky

I've been coming here for years! If you are ever in town you should totally come here. The food is so good and it's a classic place to eat!

Great local atmosphere with good food. Some food is seasonal, which is understandable. The service can be slow, but the food is fresh so it's a fair trade. Always friendly service. read more

Never really eat at Berryman's even though I work and live in the area. Part of the appeal of the place is that it's been in business for a long time and a lot of people have grown up with Berryman's. I just had a lunch "special" that ended up costing me close to $10.00. I was charged state and county taxes which I never see any other restaurants do. And the lunch special didn't include a drink. So I had to spend extra on that. The cashier didn't even ask me if I wanted a drink so I assumed that it came with it. It was pretty busy but not overwhelming at lunch but I decided to walk in and eat. Staff didn't seem friendly and I got a good look at their backs while I was waiting for someone to take my orders. I was the only one in line and waited around 4-5 minutes for someone to finally ask if I had been waited on. Overall I think this place is a little overrated and a little overpriced. read more

We visit Mt Sterling to see family and always have to go to Berryman's. Love the Thrillers.

One of the hometown staples of Montgomery County. Recently visited and always have good food and service. Few things that could be worked on is the wait time in the drive thru is usually longer than it needs to be. Sometimes 10mins at a time. Idk if everything is cooked to order or if something are pre prepared. But other than that is pricing, but I don't mind because I mean you get what you pay for. If you don't like good food there is always McDonalds lol. Today I ordered a double cheeseburger deluxe and a side of broccoli bites with ranch and for my wife a chicken club deluxe with bacon and 2 ale8s. Total was $18 and some change. Overall a good deal and I recommend if you want a place that's on the quiet side with a good family atmosphere. Plus their chili dogs are fantastic. Will visit again in time. read more

I have eaten here a few times every time I do eat here there is a little bit of a late but it is so worth it I love the food and the ale 8 is always ice cold this place never disappoints and very reasonable price on there menu I will be coming back many more times read more

One of the best places to get chili dog and a cold Ale-8!! Also, give their broccoli cheese bites a try!! You won't be disappointed!!

This home grown family restaurant is known for its legendary chili dogs, and I am a fan. This little restaurant serves burgers and hotdogs and all that good old American food. It's a good place to eat with your kids and pets (they have outside seating if you have a dog such as I, no pets inside I assume). They have a drive thru so if you're in a hurry this is a great place to get some grub. I like this establishment just fine, it's not my favorite place but it's does the job (filling up my stomach). Oh and the chilly dogs? I will have to say they're the best chili dogs I have ever had. The prices are great too! If you're stopping at Mount Sterling for court day definitely take a break at Berryman's. read more

Berryman's has been around forever in Mt Sterling. I use to remember as a kid going here and getting a chili dog and hand made shake. They are locally owned and they are a part of Mt Sterling history and a big name in the community. You will find memorable all over the walls here from Montgomery Countys past. Stepping into here is like stepping back into time. I don't think i have ever received bad food or bad service here in their long time running. They will always greet you with a smile and brighten your day. Their food is made to order and served fast and hot. The Berryman's chili is their huge claim to fame. Ask anyone in town and they will tell you it is a must have staple. The Berryman's chili recipe is a well kept secret like the Bushes beans recipe, but man is it good. If you ever get into town, stop in and see a part of Mt Sterlings history and have a chili dog or a burger then remember to get a hand made milkshake to wash it down with. This is what all tasty treats should be modeled after. I just did a drive by to get a Peanut Butter and Chocolate milk shake YUMMM read more
