★★★★★ 5.0 Bob Weir · Feb 2026

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.

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.

I visited Cliffside Diner with a group of friends for breakfast, and it was such a great experience. The atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, like a classic local spot where everyone knows your name. Our group ordered a mix of breakfast favorites, and everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed, even with our larger group. If you love delicious comfort food and a cozy, down-to-earth diner vibe, Cliffside Diner is absolutely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

Stopped by on a whim at the suggestion of Grok in my Tesla. Glad I listened and pulled off the highway to experience this great little diner on the banks of the Kentucky River. Small old school diner with outstanding selection of comfort food. I chose an old school fried bologna sandwich with really good fries and a side of classic cucumber salad. Outstanding! Price was fair, but I was surprised by an added 4% convenience tax on top of the 6% state tax. Other than that, this is a great stop.
