    Traditional club sandwich, very good.
    Mark F.

    I love stumbling in a local mom and pop cafe. So authentic, so real, and the food is always good and inexpensive. I had the club sandwich which I thought was wonderful. No fancy name for the bread or the ham just a traditional club sandwich which really hit the spot. Prices are great selection is good and although I was very tempted for the peach pie dessert, I was just too full to do it.

    I just love downtown old school counters! I'm sad my kids mights never know the fun of sitting at the counter getting a milkshake or sundae made fresh right in front of you. Then there's Li'ls! Beautiful classic counter diner coffee shop! So cool to see them keeping this connection to the past going so, so great in 2020! Although the counter stools were marked for the current social distancing we're doin' but the charm was ALL there. We had brekkie and coffee. The place was hopping and the staff was working hard and fast. The food was fresh and tasty! The coffee was yum! They do lunch late afternoon dining too so we'll be back. We loved it all. Oh and take some time to do some shopping at the attached antique store. The owner was warm and charming too and we couldn't leave without taking some stuff with us! Its called Timeless Design.

    Let me say that Paris is really changing from what I remember. It was probably 3 years since I met family to have a bite and just talk and visit. Last time it was snowing and we sat about 3 hrs and had such a wonderful time. Again, as last time we closed the shop down! Next to us were several tables of women playing card games... I did take a picture of the mens bathroom because the bench was ummmm unusual. I had the ever so delectable chicken salad, one of my aunts had the red pepper soup and it smelled so good... may have to go back and try. We talked so long I don't remember what the other 8 even ordered. It doesn't matter. Whatever the dish it's always a pleasant time. For a treat go back in time when people actually sat around the table and enjoyed each others conversation... yes. There was no TEXTING at the table! Ohh... did I forget to mention the wonderful deserts that had to go home because we sat so long and they closed. What a wonderful place to talk, play games, have a meal, shop.... Did I mention last time I purchased several items to take back to Georgia for Christmas gifts? Yes, if anywhere near Paris it is a MUST VISIT!

    Working again in Paris and I stopped in to get some Coffee at Lil's. This nice little coffee shop shares a building with an antique shop. It has an old lunch counter perfect for Social Distancing. The business has been here for about 9 years. They purchase all of their Roasted Coffee Beans from Marco's which is just up the street. (As an aside you can purchase Marco's Coffee beans for home brewing at Krogers). I purchased a small light roast coffee. It was tasty Marco's fair which is reliably good. I also had some jam cake which I just love. If you have never heard Jam cake that probably means you are under 40 years old. Jam cake in my opinion is a generational thing. My late father in law and I use to get a jam cake and the two of us would eat it over the month of the holidays. Jam Cake last forever. Since my father in law passed in 2014 I seldom get a good jam cake. Nobody left to eat it with and I am definitely not active enough to eat an entire cake by myself. A good jam has a cream colored icing on it. Sometimes it is a thin brittle icing and other times it is a thick and creamy icing. It just depends on the Baker. The one I had at Lil's was the thick and creamy type. Delicious! The perfect accompaniment for a nice cup of coffee. I purchased a Lil's Coffee Mug to go with my collection. It only cost $7, which is not over priced. They also have homemade candies and tshirts for sale. I do not know how a small town like Paris supports so many coffee shops but apparently it works for them. With Covid numbers up please stop by and get some carryout. Pick up a mug as well and when you drink your coffee at your home, work or office know that you are helping support local jobs and getting to enjoy a tasty cup of Joe.

    I love the downtown Paris area and Lil's always has delicious food, especially their quiche and sandwiches. They also have tables outside!

    Cutest diner in town
    Stacy R.

    This place is the perfect little Whole in the wall joint. I've lived here for a year and a half and just noticed this place. Finally spotted it and stopped in for breakfast with a friend. The place is super cute and clean. They serve your food and drinks in antiques. The quiche is a must try! Anything here is worth a try, it's all homemade. Will be returning.

    Great prices and atmosphere, decent food, but very slow service. Whitney was great though. She was very friendly and energetic.

    This is a great place to get a great meal, a cocktail, and leave satisfied. The place is so cool…read more Brick and iron at its best. The charm of old tables with mismatched chairs, even a bench made from an old bed headboard. The staff is great. Quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. The bar is huge. Bottles upon bottles. Then there is the food. Locally sourced and cooked to order. My mom ordered the catfish. It looked delicious and she ate every bite on the plate. My breakfast bowl was absolutely perfect! Potatoes roasted to perfection with awesome hot sausage with eggs cooked to order and covered in the best sausage gravy that I have ever had! Note: I love sausage gravy and have eaten it all over the country. Bravo to the chef! We will be back!

    I am typically an all in for Local Feed. I live an hour away, and will drive merely to eat at…read moreLocal Feed, or at least I would, until today. Arrived for my reservation, at lunch, and was seated immediately ( that is a plus - everything was looking good ). Waitress came to get drink order, only to realize she had failed to give us drink menu.Once that was resolved, drinks ordered and corn bread starter ordered. Cornbread delivered, drinks arrive. waitress was slow, kept saying she was new, she was tired, etc... Having been in the service industry, I understand, but not my problem. Here is when the meal went south... when we go to order, we are told no chicken, no steak. Only real options are the chicken and dumplings, sloppy joe, hamburger, meatloaf, ham or fish. Any other beef dish, or chicken dish is not available ( think half the menu ). Had we of known, before the drinks and cornbread, we might have left, as we had driven an hour for brisket and fried chicken. It was extremely disappointing. I went with the chicken and dumplings, as I don't eat fish, or beef, and can't eat pork products. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes and was told the chicken and dumplings came on a bed of mash - nope, apparently it does not. Expecting mash, I ordered carrots... guess what the chicken and dumplings come with carrots! So I got a bunch of carrots, no mash. The others in my party ordered the sloppy joes and both said they were okay, but not what they drove an hour to eat. In my opinion a restaurant, that is closed on Monday, should not be out of half of their menu items on Tuesday. I'd there are delivery issues, they had all day Monday to come up with alternate items, source other foods, etc.. Our waitress rarely came around, never offered refills, or asked how our meals were. At the end, she messed up our tickets so many times, that we finally just paid. I am no longer in a hurry to go to Local Feed and it will not be a place I drive an hour, to eat. To say it has gone downhill, is an understatement. PS - we spent roughly $175 (3 women, with drinks)

    I've heard it said before that if you want home cookin', then eat at home. I normally subscribe to…read morethis belief. It's one reason I don't go out for breakfast ~ I can make a pretty good breakfast at home. No use paying someone to do something I can do. So, going into Jackson's restaurant, a mom and pop restaurant specializing in home cooked style food, I had my doubts. Walking up to what resembled a school cafeteria lunch line only furthered my doubts. And, seeing the sheer number of different options sitting out behind the glass window only furthered my suspicions. Look, I was wrong. The food here is really good. The service is super friendly and helpful. I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I just told the lady behind the glass counter to pick me something. She obliged with a kindness that made me think she knew me somehow. She chose the chicken and dumplings, beef stew, apples, and two different types of corn bread. Now, I thought initially, and she even admitted, that the chicken and dumplings/beef stew mix was a little unorthodox, but that they were both so good I had to try them. Both were fantastic. The apples were awesome. I liked both types of corn bread. When I got up to leave, she called me over to the counter and said that since it was my first time there, I'd get a free dessert. You all, I was too full to even try. The food here is both tasty and filling. I was in Richmond for a conference at Eastern Kentucky University. So it was really convenient to stop by. But I'd say that even if you're remotely close, it's worth a visit. Don't, as I did, judge a book by its cover.

    My wife and I ate there last night, the short version is I got a bone in pork chop which was 10%…read morebone 85% fat 5% meat!! The wife only option was chicken and dumplings ( 99% dumplings 1% chicken) the quality of the food has went down immensely!! I'm not sure why ppl continue to go!! It seems to be mostly senior citizens who occupied a table for 3-4 hours!! Very disappointed Jackson's!!
