    My granddaughter went with a chicken tender kids meal that comes with fries and drink. My daughter went with the pork chop dinner that comes with two sides. My wife went with the adult chicken tenders meal wow I did the avocado, bacon burger, onion rings. This is a Military friendly restaurant. The floor is falling apart . I think the breakfast menu is the way to go.

    Typical diner food with top notch service. We decided this would be our breakfast spot on our departure day out of Frankfort on a Monday morning. Great way to send us off! The diner has that classic 50s-60s vibe with the decor and traditional diner offerings, right down to the Folgers coffee. Food came out fresh, hot, and delicious. No complaints here!

    The burger was about eight very good well seasoned but them. Onion rings them. Onions are golden. Absolutely gold medal quality onion rings.

    OK, here's what we got a hit in gym in Frankfurt. This place had the best onion rings I've ever ate in my life.. The service we knew we was in good hands when the lady took our order without writing it down and absolutely nailed. It never left her empty and the place is very clean absolutely wonderful very good experience. I must go to if you're in Frankfurt.

    Fried Green tomato BLT
    Deb M.

    While in Frankfort for the Great Race watching the antique cars go by, what better place to grab a bite to eat than this cute little retro diner. The waitress was friendly and hard working running from table to table making sure everyone was taken care of. We had the fried green tomato BLT with a side of sweet potato fries and a chef salad with blue cheese dressing. We split both and the waitress graciously provided an extra plate. The salad was huge, fresh and delicious! The BLt was full of bacon with a crisp fried tomato, juicy and delicious. The sweet potato fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and very tasty!

    Exactly what you want in a diner. Between the two of us our breakfast was delicious. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and the portions were plenty! Definitely a great little spot to check out and very reasonably priced.

    Got here for breakfast at 8:49am. They had a huge selection of food to choose from. They even was selling burgers for breakfast. The place is cool. It transforms you to a disco era. There are records all over the walls. The food was excellent. The prices were great! Great service!

    Old-school diner with 50s-60s pop music ambience. Being dinosaurs ourselves, we recognized most of the single records on the wall. Coffee is traditional diner coffee - think Folgers ground in the can. That home-cooking approach works for the food, though. I had a homestyle omelet with mushrooms and cheddar, has browns, and biscuit. My husband comes here whenever in the area for the Monte Cristo sandwich, which hr can't find too many places anymore. The handwritten additions and price changes on the menu captured the vibe of the place perfectly. In short, come for the food and hit your favorite coffee bar on the way home.

    Found this diner while I was in Frankfort one day and decided to stop here. The ambience is definitely beautiful and retro. And with retro style actually comes with retro prices. I was shocked when I seen the price of all the foods. Very affordable and not to mention, the food is actually really good. Service was great as well. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

    CUTEST DINER! BEST FOOD EVERRRRR!!! SO CHEAP! The club sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese and a salad was PERFECT after our tour of Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is a cute 50s style diner in the downtown area and the food was amazing!! The service was perfect, our server was so nice and sweet. Clean, airy and nice restaurant, and the total bill for everything pictured was only like $20 (pre tip!)

    This is a cool diner in downtown Frankfort on Main St., hence the name. When you walk in, you are immediately transported to the U.S. 1950 by the decor. There are vinyl LPs and 45s tastefully displayed on the walls along with album covers and memofrom the 50s, 60s and 70s era. Also the music that is playing takes you back to those years. I walked to the window at the back of the dining area and was immediately greeted and asked if I was dining-in or taking out. I ordered an omelette with sweet potato fries. I was so happy and surprised to see that they (sweet potatoes) were on the menu. The portion size was just right. When I first saw the meal, I thought it was too small. Then, I realized that most restaurants give HUGE portions (for an entre) and I always take food home. Usually from one normal restaurant dinner entre, I eat three more meals from the leftovers. So, this meal portion was for one meal only and I appreciated that. The omelette was not overly salted and neither were the sweet potato fries. So, I could taste the flavor of the food without it being drowned in heavy, fatty sauces. I really enjoyed this dining experience and I can see myself returning to try other menu items.

    Cobb salad with chicken
    MaryLinda W.

    We've come here several times lately, and have been pleased every time. I particularly enjoy the salads, and have enjoyed the Cobb salad with grilled chicken, chicken fried steak dinner, and the BLT salad. Hubby has also enjoyed several different items including the beef tips dinner, BLT salad, and the hot brown potato. The place is small, and it sometimes gets crowded, but the service is always personal.

    We enjoyed our morning spent at buffalo Trace. It is very clean and organized. I saw a gentleman…read morewashing the screens and windows on the mill. There were ladies cleaning the outside windows at the log cabin. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and seemed to like their jobs. They allow dogs on the property and inside when making a purchase/taste testing. They gave our dogs treats and the staff welcomed them in. The property is beautiful and great to take dogs on a walk. We enjoyed our day and may go back tomorrow depending on the specials!!

    Buffalo Trace Distillery is a mind blowing experience for a first timer. The grounds are massive…read morewith historic buildings that have been distilling, aging and bottling bourbon over 200 years. The distillation aromas in the air are intoxicating. We arranged a tour of the facility in combination with a river cruise on the Kentucky River. We signed in for our tour early, so we could shop in the distillery gift shop. I spent several hundred dollars in the gift shop buying special bourbons that you can only purchase at the distillery. I even bought Buffalo Trace dog treats. Plan at least an hour for shopping as lines are long. Fred was our tour guide. Fred was knowledgeable, humorous, interesting and passionate about Buffalo Trace. We learned the history of the distillery, saw how barrels are made, transported and stored and saw the bottling process for the Blanton bourbons. We concluded our tour with a tasting of four bourbons and a sample Kentucky Bourbon Ball. Unfortunately, the tasting was a bit rushed for us. The bourbons were good and I would have liked to make additional purchases after the tasting, but we were not able to because of the timeline for the river cruise. Parking is free. The line to check ids is long but moves quickly. There are restrooms available. I'm told dogs and kids are welcome with some restrictions, but I didn't see any. The tour of Buffalo Trace should be on every bourbon drinker or history buff's bucket list. I want to go back.
