Wow! What a great experience in a small town. We're coming in from Vegas on a roadtrip to Nashville. Luckily we found LJ Depot Diner. Les, was just wonderful! The service was great! We were a party of 4. Ordered 3 cheeseburgers and 1 fried bologna sandwich. Also, ordered their try 3 appetizer. Fried okra, fried pickles, and onion rings. Food was great. You could tell that your burger was homemade and not from frozen. Les, thank you for the laughs and good food! We're going to have to come back to try the meatloaf. read more

This is the cutest little place! Located right in the heart of Lebanon Junction next door to the police station, you find this adorable diner. This place has a fun twist with their menu that I love, they feature a different homemade meal each night alongside their regular menu. For dinner you can find meatloaf, lasagna, pork chops and even breakfast some nights alongside scratch made desserts. (The desserts might be my favorite thing!) I usually call and ask what's for dinner or check Facebook for an update. Some of our favs on their regular menu: fried fish, the best spicy cheese balls and spicy chicken sandwich. This is really a place you can make yourself at home at. read more

Stopped there on the way to Nashville. Just a very short hop off I-65. Definitely worth it. Ordered the Jalapeño burger. Whoa! Not sure where they got the jalapeños, but they seemed hotter than other places. Burger was nicely done, even though the lady (one person tending tables and counter) didn't ask how I wanted it cooked. Fries were great. Wife ordered chicken salad sandwich on a crescent. Really good and had added touch of cranberries in it. Large portions all around and not large prices! We drive through this area frequently to go to Nashville, so, probably will make it our lunch stop place!! read more

LJDepot Diner - The triple burger with fries. It is a monster and only $11! This place is a gem and just a few min off the highway. Well worth it. - Diners Near Me - Lebanon Junction, Kentucky

Stopped in here on our way to James B Beam distillery for a quick lunch. It was very good. We arrived around 11am and they had just finished breakfast but the server let us know if we wanted breakfast it was still available. We ordered the fried mushroom appetizer and two of the bacon jalapeño cheddar burgers with fries. The server was friendly and our appetizer was brought out promptly. Mushrooms were good with a nice batter and served with ranch. The burgers were very good. They use their own "secret" spice on the fries and they were delicious. Everything was fresh and hot. They offer milkshakes and desserts as well. The diner itself is decorated with nice railroad decor. Good meal! I would recommend stopping if you're in the area. It's just off the highway. read more

LJDepot diner is a small country diner located in the downtown portion of the small city of Lebanon junction Kentucky just off Main Street. located right across the street from the towns city hall and there memorial city park me and my family along with some family friends came in here this past Saturday late morning for some breakfast. We were immediately greeted by the owner who was playing Swiss Army knife and doing it all. Greeter, waitress, cook and table bussing. She as super nice and accommodating to our large parties needs. The decor here is very nice and gives you that authentic small town country diner feel. Which is good because it is truly and authentically a small country diner. The decor here pays homage to the city and town and Lebanon junction. The menu is pretty straight forward and they do have some things I'd like to come back and try including a taco Tuesday menu and the all you can eat breakfast platter (we showed up past 11am so missed it). Our group started out with an entree of fried green tomatoes. Nothing I'll eat so I didn't try them but everyone at the table who did loved them. For entrees we sampled the menu well. I personally got a fried bologna sandwich and when I asked the owner if they can put an egg on it she gladly did. And it was really good. Very tasty and cheap sandwich. Was very satisfied. The rest of our orders included a chicken salad sandwich, phill cheese steak, crispy chicken salad, cheeseburgers and a jalapeños cheddar burger. Everyone raved about there meals. Everyone was happy with there order and had no complaints. So compliments to the chef/waitress/greeter/owner. Overall very adorable and cozy diner and we will come back. They also offer deserts and milkshakes so that's on our radar in the future. I believe this Saturday they have an Elvis impersonator so it looks like they have live music and events here. Maybe we will stop in on that. Either way we will come back. Cool and tasty place. Owner works hard and deserves good fortune and praise. read more

Very frustrated with this business. Twice I have attempted to eat there. Hours state open until 8pm on Saturday. Drove from Shepherdsville and arrived at 7pm both times and the diner was closed. I hear the food is great, but sadly, I will not be going back. Not a good way to run a business. read more

Great people and great food. A gem in Lebanon Junction. Food was great and great prices.

This place is a small shop a few miles off the interstate. Small town eating at its best. The fries were hit and delicious, and our Philly cheesesteaks piled high. Service is friendly, and the folks at e informative. They helped direct us back to the interstate via scenic back roads that avoided the construction going on. The sophisticated karaoke machine hinted at the important role this plays in the town's social life. This was backed up by the presence of a steady stream of locals coming in to order and visit. We travel through the area periodically, so here's hoping we can find our way back. read more

On a whim we stopped at LJ Depot for lunch and it was fantastic! Although the diner is dated, it's got a small town classic feel. Next to the smallest police station I've ever seen. The staff was friendly, the food came out in a timely manner and we had a great time. The fried pickles and club Sammy were tasty. The fries were awesome. The burger was the best thing we ordered BUT we were also treated to some amazing hot, fresh large, soft pretzel sticks! Yummmmm!! If you're ever near Louisville KY, don't he so state to stop by for some good food. It was only like 15 minutes away. read more

Great diner! Friendly staff. Small town feel where the people who come in to pick up orders are greeted by name. Across from a small park. They have a few kids toys for little ones. The food was great. Fries were flavorful, crisp on the outside, and hot. Not far from the highway. A great spot to stop for lunch on a road trip. read more

Great home style food. I love their fries especially. Daily specials and desserts. Nice home town feel.

Visiting my husband's family who lives here and came here for the breakfast. I got the western omelette without jalapeños. I usually put salsa on my eggs but honestly that would have ruined it. Best omelette I've ever had the eggs weren't to done nice and gooey and warm and cheesy. YUM. There wasn't alot of people there so it was nice and quiet, the service was fast and friendly also. Highly recommend. lives here and came here for the breakfast. I got the western omelette without jalapeños. I usually put salsa on my eggs but honestly that would have ruined it.

Agreed that this a a tiny diner in a tiny town and has friendly service . But we didn't experience the great food mentioned in other reviews. We both had cheeseburgers and fries, but I'm pretty sure they were microwaved in the back kitchen. No cooking was being done on the grill in the front area. Flavorless thin meat patties, fries from frozen...just something to keep us from starving. Southbound construction held up traffic for miles, so maybe people are so glad to get off the highway that this seems like heaven to them. Not worth the detour. read more

The portions were big and the food was fresh. All of the staff was incredibly friendly. I will definitely be back. read more
