I hadn't eaten here in decades. We were able to get seated on a busy week day at noon. The place is clean with good service and great food. The only downside was I could only choose one meal. Will definitely be back.

Awesome food. Great service. It’s a small diner with limited seating but well worth the wait. Prices are reasonable and food portions are big. I definitely recommend eating here.

If you’re craving real comfort food, this is the place to go. Cliffside Diner serves up great home-style cooking that tastes like it came straight out of grandma’s kitchen. Everything is fresh, hot, and made with care. The service is just as good as the food—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The diner itself is small and charming with a cozy 1950s vibe that makes you feel like you stepped back in time. Parking is a bit tight, so be careful pulling in and out, especially with traffic on the road—but it’s absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommend for a classic diner experience with great food and even better service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jamie was awesome, she took great care of us! The food was delicious, and it was a great vibe and atmosphere. We’re not from here but will have to make another trip, all of the plates going by looked so good!

Great breakfast! Friendly staff, will definitely go back when in Frankfort again.
I asked my tour guide at BT where my buddy and I can get a good burger and he suggested Cliffside. This was one of THE best burgers I've ever had hands down. And how bout that Southern Hospitality! 😊

Small hole in the wall joint. I was blessed to find out about this place from our tour guide at Buffalo Trace. The menu is simple, the place is small, the staff is friendly, and the food is fantastic. If you are in the area and want a burger, this is the spot. It has a nice view of the beautiful Kentucky river.

Sat & Sun Breakfast until 1130, lunch 1130-7 sat & sun. Lunch M-F 11-7. Awesome place. Only down side is sun is glaring inside the big windows until 1 pm or so. Very blinding. Only 6 booth tables and 14 barstools. Very small cozy restaurant. White or wheat toast! French toast was delicious. Omelet was large and in charge! They were out of coke on Jan 18, 2026! Outdoor seating is available during warmer months but it’s right in the road with no protection. Lots of ice cream options.

We always go to Mom and Pop diners we find. Cliffside was awesome! The food was great! The service was excellent. This is definitely worth a return visit and we drive about an hour to get there!
Looking for a local flare, this is the place
