I WILL NEVER GET OVER THE AMAZING SERVICE AND BREAKFAST I AM SERVED EVERY TIME I DINE HERE…read more Love me that Rise and Shine meal. Beautiful *ss Bacon. Beautiful pancakes. That buttery goodness never gets old. Call me an extreme optimist, I DON'T GIVE A RATS BEHIND! Each bite I take is like a new feeling swarming me.. Eggs... Content Sausage... Joy Pancakes.. Nostalgia... Bacon.. Greed... Biscuits and gravy... Thankful. Love it here. Always brings a smile to my face. Not to mention the great coffee. Love that roast.

Working in Owensboro this week and I heard about Dee's Diner, which has the best breakfast in town…read more I was craving pancakes so I decided to try Dee's for breakfast. The parking lot was absolutely packed at 9:30 on a Friday morning. I think I found the last possible place to park, parallel at the edge of the lot. I ordered a pancake, which was huge!! Also a couple of over-easy eggs. The pancakes was delicious! It was thin and a little crispy at the edges and had a very good flavor. It was served with a good size chunk of butter. My eggs were cooked to order. Service was very friendly and prompt. Considering that every table was full I was surprised at how fast the server brought out my food. When I paid for my meal the cashier mentioned that I had a "small" pancake but they also offered large pancakes. I thought mine was large enough! There is also a drive thru if you aren't able to dine in. All this and reasonable prices too.

It is made with Ribeye steam, onions, peppers, mushrooms, and provolone cheese, a combination that is simply hard to beat. My wife had the Western Omelette, a 3 egg, with bacon, green peppers, onions, mushrooms topped with American Cheese. We both had a side of Classic French toast as well. A very filling breakfast to say the least. Everything was fresh and appeared to be cooked to order. We both had the standard Breakfast beverage, coffee. They also offer the full lunch menu that looked amazing from the menu. Next time. The service was first rate, could not have been better. This place is must eat at if you are in Owensboro, KY.

I ordered the Manhattan but the waitress said that wasn't available on Saturday. The menu didn't mention that. So I ordered a cheese burger. It came with potato chips that most likely came from a big bag. The burger patty was very thin. That's ok with me, but it was very overcooked, crispy and smelled fishy. Honestly the worst hamburger I've ever had. My wife's breakfast was cool to the touch. Told the waitress about my burger and she didn't charge me for it. I love to try places I've never been to and now I know that I don't have to try this place ever again.

The food at Ritzy's was absolutely amazing! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well…read moreworth the visit. The staff was friendly, and we had a great overall experience. One area that could use improvement is accessibility. While I'm not a wheelchair user, I do use a cane, and I found it frustrating to maneuver around the dining room because the tables are placed so close together. I also noticed that the self-service drink station would be difficult, if not impossible, for many wheelchair users to access comfortably. A few changes to the layout would make the restaurant much more welcoming and accessible for people with a variety of mobility needs. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the excellent food and hope to see accessibility improvements in the future.

The oldies jams are still in play and keeping the vibe upbeat. I've never been in here tearing up because that forbidden broken heart love song came on at the wrong time. I've been doing burgers and shakes and new flavors of ice cream and I'm discovering that chocolate ice cream and its many descendants are quite delicious. For example I beta tested the Kentucky Fudge Pecan Pie in a baby sized cup and found that I love it! I also reaffirmed that I have zero allergic reaction to pecans. Furthermore, I discovered that pie crust bits in ice cream are flipping fantastic and something I will include in my extensive list of things I am thankful for come this November's Turkey holiday. Props to the Ice Cream expert whom I had been told crafts these flavors in house. Is it some kind of Ice Cream elf? Maybe. That doesn't even matter. Who or whatever is making this delicacy is doing a great job at creaming this ice with fantastic flavor and ruining my ability to drop this final 4 lbs I'm trying to shed. Try it out and enjoy this wondrous thing! But be warned... the pecans may contain nuts. UPDATE: I just discovered that they offer TATOR TOTS! It should be known just by looking at me that tater tots are my favorite means of delivering potatoes to my belly. This delivery process is further expedited by spooning steaming hot chili and shredding cheese over it. They've titled an entire movie after how I eat chili cheese tots. "Gone in 60 Seconds". I devoured it voraciously and it disappeared. I don't know how it tasted because it was immediately absorbed once it appeared on the counter. I'm sure i enjoyed it though. Try it yourself and let me know if it is good. I am not reliable in this instance.

My waitress was super nice and extremely skilled at her job. I had the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and house salad/ranch dressing. I left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the ribeye medium and it was absolutely perfect. The seasoning was much better than Texas Roadhouse. The baked potato was the best I have had in years, nice and soft and perfectly topped. The salad was fresh and not overloaded. The overall experience felt very relaxed. Even though it was seven minutes until closing when I finished eating, my waitress enthusiastically asked if I wanted desert. This is a quality restaurant worth every penny. I will be back.

I had a pork lunch special that was nicely cooked, quickly served, and reasonably priced...kind of a trifecta for a quick lunch (and, to be clear, quite tasty since the "nicely cooked" comment might not adequately convey the point!). Lots of options on the menu for every appetite. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Good atmosphere, relaxed but not divey or anything, lots of space (I got there when it opened, and much of that space was full when I left--twas indeed a go-to spot).

Not only…read morewas the parking lot full but people were parking on the street and walking to the restaurant. The buffet was absolutely delicious. Old fashioned creamed corn, green beans mashed potatoes, gravy mac & cheese, corn muffins and fried apples all tasted like they could have come from Grandma's kitchen. The salad bar was excellent too, all the ingredients were fresh and there was a nice variety. All this and a dessert bar too! The buffet and salad bar were kept very clean and the food was fresh. Service was very friendly and the price of the bay was extremely reasonable.
