Superb casual restaurant in Frankfort…read more I ordered the KENTUCKY HOT BROWN. When in Rome, eat like the Romans. It was such a good comfort food. Just don't think about it's unhealthiness when eating. The gravy that douses the samdwich is scrumptious. Add some bacon, some tomato to the turkey sandwich. So good!!!

Our server was the sweetest gal, handling everything herself from orders to bartending to serving and clearing tables, she never missed a beat. We're in bourbon country so of course ordered the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan, both were superb and came out quickly. We expected to wait just a bit for our meals but happily they came out quickly as well. Hubby's hot chicken sandwich was amazing with just the right amount of heat and condiments. I felt so lucky to get gluten free chicken tenders, I had very little expectations, I was just so happy to see them! They were phenomenal! If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back and I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a 5 star stop in downtown Frankfort.

We went to The Cliffside Diner because it's billed as The Best Cheeseburger in Frankfort, the diner…read morehas been there since the 40's so it's a local landmark. My wife and I were pretty excited about a new experience and a fun lunch. The place was disappointing to say the least. The servers weren't really friendly or outgoing. The value was severely lacking- a reported 5 ounce burger (looked small) and literally about 10 crinkle cut fries, a 12 ounce drink served in styrofoam and a vanilla malt to go costs us about $50. I tried to say thank you to the server on my way out but she was busy having a loud conversation with another employee and didn't notice me. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables. The menu has a variety of sandwiches like cod fish and a fried bologna plate. But most of the menu was different burgers with cute names. The web said they served breakfast all day, there was no breakfast menu on the table and we didn't ask. All in all I'm glad I went to satisfy my curiosity but I would not seriously recommend this place to people visiting Frankfort. You would get a better deal and probably service at Hardee's.

I'm sure that's a feature and not a flaw of beer lovers. I got what they recommended and found it to be fine. The martini was not dirty enough for my wife, but I guess that is a subjective thing. For the meal I went with the NY Strip for $26 and she got shrimp and grits for $20. I found the steak to be over cooked and under seasoned. My wife, however, LOVED the ship and grits. She orders this dish a lot at different places and thought this was one of the best she has had. The service was good. The food arrived super quickly. The vibe is casual all the way. If you are a craft beer lover this place should be on your short list. Everyone else is a maybe. I was going to give 3 stars but my loved her dish so much I gave them a 4 star rating.

This little spot came highly recommended, so I made it a priority to check it out tonight. Even…read morethough it wasn't busy tonight, I could imagine it being a hot spot during peak bourbon touring season. My recommendation, make reservations. Since this was my first time here, I sat at the bar and asked the severer to recommend what I should try first. She ranted about the pickle brine chicken sandwich that's drizzled with hot honey. It has a side of veggies and coleslaw. I am so glad I took her recommendation because this was delicious. I also tried the chocolate bread pudding but to be honest this wasn't good at all. It tasted more bitter than sweet. I didn't even finish it. I'd pass on it. This was my big disappointment for the night. However, I didn't let the bad bread pudding ruin the night, because everything else was so good. I think this is a perfect spot to grab a bite while enjoying a bourbon trail tour.

It had been decades since I ate here (for no particular reason other than working out of town for…read morewell over a decade), but after reading the menu online, Hubby and I decided to check it out together. The dining room is set up to accommodate parties of two or four, all the way to large groups, with places for individuals at the bar. Table service is provided and our server was friendly. Hubby chose the Hot Brown with a side salad and I went for the liver and onions with mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, and gravy on the side for the livers. Hubby tries the Hot Brown at a lot of restaurants and said it was good. The liver was tender and tasty with the onions and gravy on the side, and the mashed potatoes and green beans were a good accompaniment. The portions were satisfying and neither of us had room for dessert. We were pleased with the experience, and with more items on the menu to try, we will be back.

We tried the chili dogs and fries, the fish sandwich special (which came with fries and slaw), and the chicken tenders appetizer. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The fish sandwich was perfectly fried -- crisp on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside. Even the chicken tenders were standout. Portions were generous, prices were very reasonable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Bonus points for the fun UK basketball décor -- fans of the Cats will feel right at home. If you're in the mood for traditional fried food done well in a laid-back setting with excellent service, this place is absolutely worth a visit. We visit often!
