Really enjoyed our stop here. Grilled pork. Cornbread and corn. All really good. Great meal. Don’t bother with the homemade potato chips.All the high school pictures on the wall made it really homey.

So good! The service was great, the food was delicious & it was so affordable for our entire family! Not to mention, just really love a small town restaurant!

First visit today while on a springtime drive. Terrific choice for lunch in a historic setting. We had a fried catfish sandwich (excellent) and a Reuben sandwich (maybe the best on the planet) and house-made chips. The service was fast & pleasant. With lots of interesting menu choices, we'll be back!

"This place has been in business serving food for 130 years!" I was proudly told this by the young woman at the register before I departed. Bianke's is well known in this part of central Kentucky. Excellent food and friendly service in the warm confines of a building sporting photos of Cynthiana High School graduating classes dating back to the 1940's. You can't go wrong with the daily special which was salmon croquettes today. One of my lunch companions had it, it looked great and they said it was wonderful. I had the Ultimate Club sandwich with a baked potato on the side. It was stacked high and fresh. My other partner ordered the Jumbo Shrimp platter. Another excellent lunch decision. We started the meal with Fried Green Tomatoes and they were the best any of us had ever eaten. Meals are all around $12-$13 dollars, plenty of seating, convenient street parking. Check them out for a fun experience and delicious meal.

I like their food, particularly their deserts. I especially like their ice cream and their cakes. Their service is decent it isn't the best but not the worst either. Their environment is somewhat sensory friendly, but not ascetically pleasing. If we are talking about environmental issues I found none they offer environmentally friendly options. However they have quite some inconveniences which is why I rate it 3 stars and not higher.

Great food and service for Sunday brunch. Would definitely go again. Look forward to next week

Staff is super friendly and the interior is clean. Sat at a locals table, which had their order on it - so cute.Chicken bacon ranch wrap was delicious! The broccoli was well seasoned, as were the brussel sprouts, although a bit salty. The sweet potato fries are a home run!! And the potatoes are beautifully textured made of real potatoes. I in no way liked the buttermilk pie. I can't understand why this sugar bowl would be enjoyable, but the waitress said it was her favourite so people do like it. Not for me. The butterscotch pie was very yummy, however! I even enjoyed the meringue, which I have never liked from anywhere before. It was kinda squishy instead of being hard and hallow. That pleased me! Would come here again! Everyone was pleased with their food. And they have a good variety. Average meal cost seems to be $12.

I ordered a Reuben and it was awful. Not toasted on the one side, no sauerkraut, the meat was questionable as to what the heck it is. I had a few bits and that was enough. Gross. Our waitress was great, very sweet. This is NOT what Biancke's is know for. Not sure what's happened but they had better fix it or I won't be back.

Real great food and service. The ambiance makes you feel like your stepping back in time.

The club sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!! Being from Michigan, you don't see corn pudding often, so I had to get it (even though it didn't go with my dinner haha) and it was great. My boyfriend got the Wildcat burger and he said it was really good. He got the pecan pie and I got a chocolate chip cookie. We'll definitely stop in if we find ourselves back in Cynthiana!
The food is not cooked correctly. The outside is burnt and tastes like an ashtray while the inside is raw and bloody. The ambiance is destroyed by the incessant ramblings of Fox News constantly blaring from the television. Very depressing service compared to the old Biancke's.

Food was terrible. Not sure what deal is with this place! Waited over 40 min to get a greasy plate fish and chips. Bad! Couldn't even eat it. The hamburger was terrible. Mc D's is better. It's overpriced and lousy. Would never go back. Yea it has a history with the building... that's about it ... leave it in the past !!!!

Friday night, 75% empty! Service was Poor! One of us ordered Onion Ring appetizer, it didn't show up and the food was delivered. When asked, the lady went back, came back and said it'd be out in a few. Later, no appetizer, she said the kitchen was backed up with all the fried appetizers, she'd ask again. I all you can eat fried catfish, made it through the frier on time! Well, dinner about done, onion rings show up! Waitress Never asked if a reorder of all you can eat fish needed more! Seems the waitress was as backed up as the friers! She sure still charged me the full $20.For all you can eat catfish! May need to rethink going there again! May need to go with the crowd, they were not there either! $20.00? Seriously? May need to use some of the fish money for the tip!

This is a very classic diner restaurant. My entire family is a huge fan of their fish sandwich! Almost every time I talk to my dad he tells me to bring him his fried fish sandwich. Can't leave without a slice of their butterscotch pie!

We drove 45 mins from Ewing so my son could have breakfast here. We got behind slow traffic and made it there at 10:59. We were told that breakfast ends at exactly 11:00 after we waited 3 mins for an attendant. We actually loved it when we had dinner here a couple weeks back but when I had to tell my autistic son they wouldn't serve us, he was upset. Pretty sad guys. We watched breakfast foods coming out being served as we walked out to never return.
