I love this place. Go to spot when I am in or near Frankfurt. The burgers are fantastic, especially the Cliffside burger. Usually very busy for lunch. The staff is great.

This place was great! I highly recommend it. We came into town for the bourbon trail and ended up hitting Cliffside for lunch. We had Coney Dogs, Rueben Sandwich, Country Fried Chicken and Ham Sandwich all were very good.

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

Recommended by a friend who works in the capitol. Glad I listened. Had the Maple Bourbon Bacon Jam Burger and some of the best onion rings I ever had.

The cost is over the top. Not worth eating there any more.

This place is fantastic. We are never disappointed with the food here. The pastrami sandwich was amazing.They stop serving breakfast in the afternoon, so that's something to keep in mind that we forgot.The atmosphere is a diner atmosphere but it's just about the perfect local country diner.The one thing I wish they would change is they use non-dairy creamer instead of half and half.

We visited Cliffside on our way to Woodford Reserve. The food was good diner food with especially great cornbread ‘pancakes’ and fried potatoes. It was busy with a mix of tourists and regulars. Recommend if you like an authentic diner atmosphere.

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.

Bourbon maple bacon jam burger was delicious! I highly recommend it!... This place is iconic in Frankfort, KY. It's a small traditional diner next to a cliff, with a classy atmosphere, and friendly staff.
