“1st off...our server (Mariah) was great! She was attentive but not intrusive. 5 stars! My wife and I had the catfish (Blackened for her and fried for me), loaded baked potato, and mayo slaw. The slaw was epic. We truly enjoyed it. The fried fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The blackened fish unfortunately was very dry and way under seasoned. The worst part of the meal was the baked potato. The potato was room temp at best and the cheese was not melted at all. Overall a 3 star experience.“

“If you’re within 50 miles of Benton, Kentucky heck, even 100 do yourself a favor and get to this little slice of heaven: a small, family-owned diner that completely stole my heart and appetite. I stumbled upon it by chance and ended up eating there four days in a row. Not once did I repeat a meal, and not once was I anything less than blown away. Every dish was a knockout, but two things deserve their own spotlight: the hush puppies and the smoked meatloaf. The hush puppies are crispy, golden bites of joy perfectly seasoned, not greasy, and made with love you can taste. But the smoked meatloaf? That’s in a league of its own. It’s got that perfect smoky flavor, tender as a brisket, I’d drive the full 50 miles just for that. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, Billy walks out with dessert. I’m convinced he’s got magic in those hands because his desserts aren’t just the best in the county, they’re the best in Kentucky. Homemade pies, cakes. each one better than the last. If you go and don’t save room for dessert, you’re doing it wrong. What really made this place special, though, was the people. The staff treated me like family from the moment I walked in. They remembered my name, asked about my day, and made me feel like I was more than just a customer, I was a guest at their table. The warmth and hospitality here is something you don’t find often, and it’s genuine. So here’s the deal: if you’re anywhere near Benton, make the trip. This diner isn’t just a place to eat it’s an experience, a memory. I’ll be back every chance I get.“

“I got their hickory smoked burger a few days ago and found it visually very appealing, and the best burger in town! Fries good and hot, the water was unusually pleasant (maybe filtered?), and the cost surprisingly no more than I might have spent at one of the fast food franchises. Our server was Hannah, and she was the best server EVER; somehow unintrusive but attentive. I was highly impressed by her perfect timing in every appearance, from start to finish. So, both the cook and the server were impeccable; the interior was clean and attractive; the price was right. I'm not often THIS impressed.😍“

“Out in Kentucky for business today. Found this little gem! Seemed like your typical meat and three.

They had ribeye on the menu. Description was 8oz or 10oz. I thought that was small but hey, I want a steak so why not!

Glad I did! Service was great! Felt right at home thanks to the waitress.

When the steak came out I could tell it was special. Seemed bigger than 10 ounces. Then I learned they were hand cut in the back! All the marbling! The extra fat!

Probably the best steak I’ve had that was done on a flat iron grill in a long time! Great Seasoning! Perfectly cooked!!

Well done y’all!! ????“
