CUTEST DINER! BEST FOOD EVERRRRR!!! SO CHEAP! The club sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese and a salad was PERFECT after our tour of Buffalo Trace Distillery. It is a cute 50s style diner in the downtown area and the food was amazing!! The service was perfect, our server was so nice and sweet. Clean, airy and nice restaurant, and the total bill for everything pictured was only like $20 (pre tip!)

Typical diner food with top notch service. We decided this would be our breakfast spot on our departure day out of Frankfort on a Monday morning. Great way to send us off! The diner has that classic 50s-60s vibe with the decor and traditional diner offerings, right down to the Folgers coffee. Food came out fresh, hot, and delicious. No complaints here!

Wow! I really loved this place! I had their signature cheeseburger, a burger between two grilled cheese sandwiches, and it was the bomb! My wife had a country fried steak and she said it was great too. Our friends who were with us had pancakes and biscuits and gravy and they raved about them too!I'm definitely coming back here!

Go there most Saturday mornings and always happy with food and service. They use fresh not frozen beef and prices are very reasonable for the area. Highly recommend.

Old-school diner with 50s-60s pop music ambience. Being dinosaurs ourselves, we recognized most of the single records on the wall.Coffee is traditional diner coffee - think Folgers ground in the can. That home-cooking approach works for the food, though. I had a homestyle omelet with mushrooms and cheddar, has browns, and biscuit. My husband comes here whenever in the area for the Monte Cristo sandwich, which hr can't find too many places anymore.The handwritten additions and price changes on the menu captured the vibe of the place perfectly. In short, come for the food and hit your favorite coffee bar on the way home.

We've come here several times lately, and have been pleased every time. I particularly enjoy the salads, and have enjoyed the Cobb salad with grilled chicken, chicken fried steak dinner, and the BLT salad.Hubby has also enjoyed several different items including the beef tips dinner, BLT salad, and the hot brown potato.The place is small, and it sometimes gets crowded, but the service is always personal.

This is a cool diner in downtown Frankfort on Main St., hence the name. When you walk in, you are immediately transported to the U.S. 1950 by the decor. There are vinyl LPs and 45s tastefully displayed on the walls along with album covers and memofrom the 50s, 60s and 70s era. Also the music that is playing takes you back to those years. I walked to the window at the back of the dining area and was immediately greeted and asked if I was dining-in or taking out.I ordered an omelette with sweet potato fries. I was so happy and surprised to see that they (sweet potatoes) were on the menu. The portion size was just right. When I first saw the meal, I thought it was too small. Then, I realized that most restaurants give HUGE portions (for an entre) and I always take food home. Usually from one normal restaurant dinner entre, I eat three more meals from the leftovers. So, this meal portion was for one meal only and I appreciated that. The omelette was not overly salted and neither were the sweet potato fries. So, I could taste the flavor of the food without it being drowned in heavy, fatty sauces. I really enjoyed this dining experience and I can see myself returning to try other menu items.

During our Frankfort excursion, My wife and I had lunch at the Main Street Diner. This eating establishment is a 50's retro themed diner in the heart of downtown Frankfort blocks from the Old State House. Several of the albums featured in the decor either my wife or I actually had at one time in our respective collections. I ordered a typical breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns and a biscuit with gravy on the side (the cholesterol special didn't disappoint). The only negative was the sound of the jackhammer outside from the road crew.

Main Street diner is a throw back and retro diner located in the heart of historic downtown Frankfort Kentucky. Me and the family had just scored some nice bourbon from Buffalo Trace when we decided to come into town to eat lunch and check out the downtown Frankfort area. The decor here is pretty awesome. Like walking right into a 50s diner and the walls filled with classic musical artist and records. Our service here was top notch. Our waitress may have been the most charismatic and personable waitress we've ever met. Big personality and big smile on her face the entire time. Full of positive energy and vibes. Almost made it impossible to have a bad time. Food wise we started with a cheese stick app and the cheese sticks were really tasty and had a nice flavor. I personally went with breakfast for lunch and got the Monte cristo which is a basically a fresh toast game and cheese sandwich with jam on it. Very tasty and fresh sandwich. My wife went with a traditional Cheeseburger to get the authentic diner feel and she was a happy customer. Very fresh and yummy cheeseburger. I nibbled on it and you can't go wrong with breakfast or lunch here. The baby got a small kids Mac and cheese and she ate most of it which is always a win. Overall cute diner with tasty food, fun decor and a super positive vibe. We all enjoyed our time there and felt like regulars with the inviting service provided.
