    Coffee

    Great place for lunch or breakfast,We brought a bag of Bourbon coffee home. There assortment of sweets are very good. The quiche's are there specialty.... You can't wrong with anything here...

    Until my first visit to Lils, I had never experienced Tomato Pie.  Now that I have, I regret not have encountered this amazing dish sooner! Over and above the Tomato Pie, I've visited her a couple of times now, and everything I've tried thus far has been excellent.  Service is first tier as well :-) Tip: Lils offers daily lunch specials, and the large building the venue is in makes this place relatively low noise.

    Great downtown location!  We love this!

    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.

Blink and you might miss it but if you're lucky enough to stop in you will leave full of delicious home cooked food! And with a smile on your face from the great service and environment. Our recent stop was for pancakes before school and some time to study vocabulary words...not a bad combo for a kid if you ask me. My only draw back is that parking is tight during certain times of the day, but if the lot is full it's because people know how delicious this place is!!

I love the Christian community and the southern culture this restaurant brings. The ambiance is very causal yet welcoming and homely. If I didn't get weight, I would eat here everyday. The food is just so dang delicious! On this visit I had the chicken fried steak with white sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I also got a side of their very hefty peanut butter cake. Definitely get yourself a piece if you're here's they are phenomenal! Everything is so good, you can't go wrong getting anything off their menu. I love their concept and what they bring to the community. Wish more restaurants were this way. Thank you so much for being so amazing and serving up delicious food!

We sat mostly on the front patio with a table or two inside later in the evening. Everyone ordered their own food and drinks. Adam and his bar staff took great care of us. They got the first rounds of drinks taken care of then took food orders. The deviled eggs were popular, plentiful, and delicious. I got the fried chicken (again) with a side of real mashed potatoes and gravy. It was fantastic (again). I really should try something else sometime. But others did and I heard no complaints. They serve breakfast any time and a couple got omelettes and cleaned their plates, raving about the hashbrowns (no meat fat to cook, so vegetarian friendly). All the cocktails were good. New seasonal menu had just started and the Marmalade Sour got good reviews. They have a larger patio out back and an ample dining room. It's a great stop when in Georgetown. Pics from my last visit but still accurate.

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.

We both had burgers... delicious! Try the Garlic pepper cheese if you can! I got the plate with fries, my husband just got a burger. The plate with fries was HUGE! We shared and still had left overs. There are tables and picnic tables out front, and a partially enclosed deck area around the side. We would highly recommend!

    We were really looking forward to eating here after a two hour hike on a 91° day. I'd read the…read morereviews on the Garlic burger and knew that was what I'd have. My husband and I both ordered one. He also got regular fries and I did the sweet potato. The service staff was kind and helpful. I loved the way the restaurant was set up with indoor or outdoor seating. It was clean and fresh. The fries were great. The beer my husband order was nice and cold and refreshing. But the burgers, the main part of this meal...we each did a double.....someone doesn't know how to cook smash burgers. They were cooked so hard and dried out. They had flavor but they were so salty and this says a lot. I use a lot of natural salt in my diet every day; this was overkill. But on top of my burger being cooked past well done, the salt put the nail in the coffin. I was really disappointed. A nice juicy smash burger sounded so good, and it wasn't. When ya spend almost $60 for 2 double grass fed beef hamburger and fries and one beer...we expect a better meal. Maybe it was an off day for the cook or maybe this is how they are done all the time. We weren't asked how we wanted them done, which is kind of hard with smash burgers. You need to know how to cook them. If I was to give it a "next time" I'd mention to them how I cook want my meat done. There's a lot of good reviews. Maybe it was just an off day. So consider yourself forewarned if you're looking for a juicy burger.
