Cut in half to show the thickness of the tender delicious pork tenderloin.
Paul P.

If you want a dirty noisy place to eat where the air is full of grease and you can't hear yourself yelling over the blaring music then this is NOT the restaurant for you! This place is neat as a pin and you can have a conversation with the table next to you without having to raise your voice! The food is amazing, and the staff friendly and attentive. I have had their breaded pork tenderloin sandwich multiple times now and it has not failed me yet! Perfectly battered and cooked to crispy, juicy, tender perfection. I get it 'dragged through the garden' with lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion. All the toppings are fresh and tasty. Paired with lightly battered fries and a draft pint of Quaff On!'s Busted Knuckle porter this is a meal you will want to enjoy again and again!

After shopping at a couple of shops in Kirlin, we came upon Bookers restaurant. I had checked out the menu before we arrived, and the menu sounded good. We entered the restaurant and waited at the counter for a couple of minutes before we were seated in a booth. The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and cozy with gorgeous woods, old window frames on the wall, and many stained glass pieces throughout. The restaurant has 3 dining rooms with a mixture of booths and tables along with a gorgeous bar area with tall-top tables. Our server arrived promptly, taking our drink orders and returning a few minutes later for our food order. My husband ordered the daily special, which was an amazing breaded tenderloin served with delicious fries. They use a well-seasoned, light batter on the Tenderloin, and we both were surprised at how incredibly tender it was. He raved about the tenderloin several times and told friends how incredible it was. The fries have a light batter and a slightly crispy seasoned coating. Delicious! I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss Burger. I'm usually not a big burger fan, but it sounded good. The burger was medium rare, seasoned with Cajun seasoning as requested, topped with swiss cheese, mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and dill pickle. The burger was served with one side, and I opted for the wonderful seasoned fries. Both were delicious, and I had very little to carry out for my dogs. We are going back just to have lunch or dinner at Bookers. I also want to purchase a couple of items I fell in love with. Great day, loved Bookers restaurant, and we had fun exploring the shops.

Tenderloin and onion rings.

Everything was wonderful today. We come for the fried mushrooms. Mushroom burger delicious. Onion rings are very good. My wife enjoyed her large tenderloin. Service was excellent. Large menu choices. Spacious dining areas. Clean restrooms. Very nice go to restaurant in a very small town. Busy at lunch and dinner. We have been happy whenever we visit.

Got taken here by friends who raved about their tenderloin sandwich. Honey vibes with plenty of room and seating. We ordered and shared stuffed jalapeños. 7 came in an order along with sides of ranch. They were stuffed with cream cheese (the best kind of stuffing), were fresh and pretty good. We all ordered breaded tenderloins with fries and onion rings. The sandwiches were very fresh and came with all the fixings. Sandwiches were good but I'd recommend getting toppings on the sandwich as they were a little bland without. Fries were very good, seemed double fried which were nice and crispy! Onions rings were good as well. It's a little out of the way but a nice lunch trip if you're looking for a solid tenderloin sandwich!

Fried mushrooms after we ate a bunch!

And they have an event space so bring everyone. The staff is so friendly very attentive to their customers as you sit down, they ready for your drink order. And that's when we order onion rings. They are so good. You don't have to worry about those big bulky menus. Your menu is on the table. It is your placemats.All dinners come with two sides. I love their tenderloins. They come with steak fries, and I have to get the vinegar slaw. It's a must for me if you like a sweet and sour slaw you will love it. I've gotten the ribeye before and they are so tender. Can't wait to get another one.And there catfish is a favorite among guest. They even have specials every night. And it's not unusual to see the owner helping out. He will take you to your table and even helps bring your food out. Anything he can do to help his staff and to make you comfortable. He is very involved in his restaurant. It's a nice place but not fancy bring the kids. There's always a lot of people here, but not a long wait. There not opened on Sundays and Mondays. But Tuesday through Saturday they do a lunch from 11 to 2 then they close get ready for dinner from 5 to 9 and then Friday and Saturday they are open till 10.

There is a family side dining room as well as the other side of the building appears to be a 21+ bar. The family side Had a decent amount of seating. We ordered a variety of items, including the BLT, which was very tasty on sourdough, they were willing to make me a grilled chicken tenders instead of fried along with their shoestring french fries, very tasty. The kids were pretty happy with the mac & cheese, although it looks like it was just Kraft- And they split one of the grilled cheese, which looked amazing. We had one order of pizza as well- it is a hand tossed crust versus thin. And the ham and cheese grill was also very good. Service was pretty slow, but when we told them we were trying to get to the show they picked up the pace a bit this place has been here for a long time, so I'm not sure why it doesn't already have a Yelp profile but I did go ahead and add one because this should be on your radar if you are anywhere near Lebanon. I appreciate the fact you're willing to make me something not fried :) The menus they have posted online do not match the menus that are in store as one person from our group was specifically looking for fried mushrooms from a prior menu It is worth a visit if you like comfort bar food!

The breadsticks were amazing, crunchy on the outside with the right amount of butter and garlic. The inside was hot and soft. I hope the new owner keeps this on the menu! Give it a try!

The bright yellow and blue place was hopping with the Saturday lunch crowd. There are seven tables inside (all filled) and two covered blue picnic tables outside. Seating is tight, but fun. Classic soft rock plays in the background. The menu offers burgers, hotdogs, tenderloin and other assorted diner foods. People say the burgers are the best in town. Daily specials are listed on a board. They also serve local Triple X root beer and fried Oreos. Klayton took our order. The staff is friendly and efficient. Food came out quick. I had a Chicago Dog (Nathan's dogs). The dog was thick, juicy and authentic, except for the relish. The poppy seed bun was packed with pickles, peppers, tomato, onions and mustard. It was a great dog. My husband had a loaded pork tenderloin, which we were told is the "best". The enormous pork tenderloin was hand pounded and tasted super fresh. The corn meal breading was tasty. The brioche bun was toasted. He loved the tenderloin and gave it a solid "5" and said it was Trail worthy (an honor not bestowed easily). We shared an order of their crinkle cut fries. The fries were super hot and crisp. There is plenty of parking. A beautiful orange tabby greets you at your car. A freshly painted yellow fence surrounds the lot. We'll be back to try the ice cream. Super fun place. Worth the drive.

The cheeseburgers are to die for! Best cheeseburger and coney dogs in Frankfort/Lebanon area!read more
