Amazing food, people that worked there was so kind and helpful everything they recommend was so good. It was very affordable for what you got. Home made pie knocked it out of the park. If I lived closer I would eat here. I highly recommend this place.

Gina rocks the flat grill. Totally understaffed today but she maintained herself like a pro.

We stopped here for lunch recently and had a good experience. The mini burgers, Kentucky hot brown, and chocolate shake were all great. The service was excellent. The seating inside is limited to 5-6 tables and seats at the bar. They do have a nice patio area. I would recommend the patio area for ventilation. They were cutting onions while we were there and unfortunately, our eyes were watering by the time we left. They have parking on both sides of the restaurant, but can be tricky backing out onto the busy main road.

We stopped in here on a Saturday afternoon late February because we were in the area and wanted something new. This is a very small establishment you walk in and it's old-school diner probably 10 booths if that to sit at and you just walk in waitress walks over to you takes your order I got the club sandwich and it was decent not the best I've had but I'd give it a three my wife got a jalapeño burger. She gave it a three daughters got hotdog and a cheeseburger. They both liked it. I'm gonna give this place four because of theuniqueness of how small it was and just had a nice comfy feel to it

Place is eclectic, it is a classic diner, in doors you have a bar to sit at and other side of isle are 6 Booths for four people. It is tight but food is worth it. But outside there is plenty of outdoor seating which is perfect when the weather is nice. We both had the Burger Week burger which was a maple Bourbon Bacon Jam Burger. That bacon jam could be spread on cardboard as I would eat it. The burger patty is that classic hand made style patties. Fries are crispy, and the fried potatoes were a great as something different. Place is obviously a community staple as many people are known by the staff and sound like they come by every week.

This is a hidden gem in the backroads of Kentucky. It is one the along Old Lawrenceburg Road, a Bluegrass backroad that runs parallel to the Kentucky River, Cliffside Diner is a tiny, old-school American joint with a 1950s dining-car vibe, counter seating, and a delicious menu. They offer a Classic diner fare with a wide range of offerings. They offer burgers in singles, doubles, cheese and/or bacon topped. This is hands down, however, the best and most *Kentucky* item on the menu is the fried bologna. This is true Kentucky classic, and the Cliffside Diner does it right. The underrated lunchmeat is salty and juicy and perfectly cooked. It is serve on a fresh toasted bun with melted cheddar cheese. Of course, if you're an early bird the breakfast, can not be beat wide arrange of breakfast offerings, you have to try the country fried steak and eggs. Oh, and the biscuits here? Melt-in-your-mouth delicious! cooked fresh! The down home service and welcoming setting makes this place unique and remarkable. The Cliffside Diner is a delightful throwback that's a true hidden gem

As a diner goes, this is great. The fresh eggs were cooked to perfection and tasted great. I will say the biscuit is more like a dinner roll which is disappointing. The only negative is the styrofoam coffee cups. I haven't seen these in years. It is really bad for our environment.

Cliffside diner in a popular Frankfort Kentucky roadside stop that is tucked into the side of some hills on a curvy Frankfort road. Stopped in here with my wife, our two youngest girls, a friend and her baby for a quick lunch. The establishment itself is extremely tiny and almost submarine like. Think a waffle house setup and shrink it by double. So the workers were a little nervous about our party size but we assured them we could squeeze into a booth and have the babies be lap sitters. So after a short wait for a table we sat down and scouted over the menu real quick. I personally ordered the Kentucky hot brown. My wife went with Country fried chicken. My 2 year old got the kids mini burger and my friend got the mini sliders. Service here was very friendly and the food was very delicious! My hot brown was good and have nice flavor. I sampled my two year old burger and must say the sign that boasts "Frankfort's best burgers" may be extremely accurate. Very tasty burger. Pricing was on par for an American diner. The setup here while small is part of the allure as well. It is legit on a cliff side so you really don't have much room to work with it. But the workers and our party made it work. Which I'm glad we did as it was a very tasty and good visit. Overall absolutely worth the visit if you are in the Frankfort area. Anything with a Party over 4 you may want to wait for bar top seating or split your party into two tables. But it will be worth it to visit.

Last time we visited this fantastic Diner was pre covid. Nothing has changed. Service spectacular & fluidly run by four ladies. Everyone happy, not overwhelmed & the same ma & pa's type of establishment. Many regulars & a 'Cheers' kind of place w/o the alcohol. Reversing out is a problem, but we helped direct people out. Everyone is very helpful & friendly. Freshly baked pies, food & meatloaf. The only reason I didn't get meatloaf was because it had green bell peppers, but it's homemade daily. I ordered the Ribeye Sandwich, which is sharable, but like a ribeye it was a little chewy & fatty, but tasty. It comes on a hoagie. Also ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich & Pasta Salad side. It was tasty & delish. Two coffees & a coke equalled $21. Also we had time to kill & our server recommended Cove Springs waterfall to check out. It was a short drive & beautiful. Glad they made it after Covid.
