    Incredible potato cakes with homemade ranch.
    Donna P.

    OMG - wow! My husband and I love breakfast. We are on a long road trip and had a crummy stay at a hotel last night. I used Yelp to find a breakfast spot. We drove a little out of the way for this and we are so glad we did! Fabulous ambiance - EXACTLY as advertised. The place was packed at 10 am. 5 waitresses humping hard. ALL 5 stopped at our table while we were there...water, coffee, taking our order, bringing me a taste of "Goetta" (yummy!) Huge menu. Husband ordered the eggs and sausage breakfast plate with Funnel cake sticks. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with potato cakes on the side. The potatoe cakes were epic - truly, I will dream about them! Homemade strawberry jam was yummy too! Oh, and the best coffee we have both had in quite some time!

    Exactly what I want in a little greasy spoon diner. Since I moved from NJ in 2016, one of the biggest things I've missed (besides Wawa) is a good diner - the concept just hasn't hit the mainstream out here in the Cincinnati/NKY area. With a couple of exceptions (shoutout to Diane's!) it's just something I've had to live without - until discovering State Line. We drove about 30 minutes from Kentucky to get here, and wow I'm glad I did. This was the exact experience I was hoping for. Throwback, classic, and unpretentious décor, friendly staff, and food that is awesomely high in calories but tastes fantastic. We went early on a weekend morning and barely got a seat. We ordered our food and started people-watching - every slice of life was represented there, and it felt like going back in time in the best of ways. Loved this place and love the fact that they are doing their thing and holding onto what a local restaurant experience should really feel like. Five whole stars, and will 100% be back.

    Took my sister for a birthday breakfast and it was yummy. This is a gem in Greendale Indiana. It's a diner with delicious food. The staff makes you feel like family. I got 2 eggs over easy with rye toast goetta and hash browns. The hash browns had bacon in it. Genius. My sister got biscuits with sausage gravy. What a great place!

    There's never a bad time to go to one of the finest greasy spoons I know of. Even though we've long since moved out of Indiana we still come back here from time to time all the same. We've been here so many times over the years I'm not gonna go too in depth. I got the "Homestyle Favourites" breakfast which came with 2 eggs (over medium), 1 breakfast meat (Cajun Goetta for me), home fries, and toast with pepper jelly. The eggs were fine as were the home fries. The Cajun Goetta is always a must get for me as it's the best Goetta that I've ever eaten from anywhere. It's Goetta with a nice kick. Also not to be forgotten is their pepper jelly which is epic on toast. All of this great food at a very affordable price. Stellar place.

    Food was pretty decent for what we consider a hole in the wall! Service wasn't the best. We asked for split checks, received one. Asked for gravy on the side, gravy came on top of the biscuit. Asked for jelly, no jelly was brought to the table. The loaded home fries made this trip just past the border worth it, otherwise it was just okay.

    What kind of fries are served? Crinkle? Is the fish any good?

    The fries are 3/8 straight cut seasoned fries. Our fish is a hand breaded cod fillet. It is definitely one of our most favorite menu items.

    Started off alittle rough we had 10 Ladies and were seated outside in the sun very uncomfortable…read more With some persuasion we were moved inside. It then turned out to ne a wonderful experience! Waitress and food changed it all!

    We were here on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. The weight wasn't too bad at 30 minutes…read more Quaint little town it's in Lawrenceburg. They have a decent beer selection, which I like. They have stout on the menu. I'm not as much of an IPA guy. I got the Baja tacos and they were delicious. They had an excellent mango in the salsa. My older two girls shared a Meatball flatbread. It's crust is made with cauliflower so it's healthy. I didn't even taste it when I snagged a slice. They liked it. My sweetie, got the bacon, avocado chicken club. When I ask her what she thinks about it, she looks at me while chewing and gives me a thumbs up, but does not stop chewing. She has an extra light in her eye and a smile on her face. My German grandmother would call that the pinnacle of love. The Littles got mini cheeseburgers with mashed potatoes and they seem to have enjoyed it. They're hitting it pretty hard. The server was pretty cool. He's a bit of an old dude but down to earth, straightforward, and nose, his stuff. If you ask my youngest, she says he looks like he's been to outerspace, but I would say he looks like a solid fireman to me. The service was decent, the atmosphere is great, our server was excellent, and the food was delicious. Totally worth coming back too.

    Positive: the food was good…read more Negative: it is so cold with the overhead vents blasting us with cold air (and we aren't even directly under a vent). I feel like we're eating in a refrigerator, which is unnecessary in April. The tables are "sticky" and need to be washed with vinegar or something to get the buildup off. We were here 10 minutes before anyone even came up to our table. There is only 1 server here at lunchtime. She's trying her best but why only one? She never refilled our drinks or checked on us. We've been finished for a while and still no check.

    Got there for the first time. And the time of order to have the plate on my table was over 40…read moreminutes. Part of my order was Mac and cheese. It was white cheese and I did not like that of the menu said it I must of missed it. The Caesar salad had a mustard base dressing on it, which I must've not noticed on the menu. It just said Caesar salad wasn't a fan of that little change either. The temperature in the building was chilly as the people I was with said it as well if the food was amazing it could have made up for the wait. The good was the pretzel bites. They were good even though it was a cheese dip not a mustard, but that's their take on things. I ordered the steak and had onion sticks on it. It was OK all along with the temperature of the building and the long wait time for the food. I don't think I would go back.
