While visiting my grandmother in my hometown, we ventured out to the restaurant, as Granny calls…read moreit. Miles Diner is a cozy, family-friendly American eatery in North Middletown, Kentucky, celebrated for its classic comfort food, country cooking, and warm, small-town atmosphere.
I decided to go with a Cheeseburger, which came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mustard, ketchup, and Miracle Whip, and fries. The fries were out of a bag, but were fried perfectly to a golden brown. Crunchy on the outside and pillowly and delicate on the inside. They needed some salt, but overall they were good. The hamburger bun, out of a bag, was fresh with good taste and chew. The veggies were fresh, crunchy, and plentiful on the burger. You got a little of each in each bite, with the ketchup and mustard in the right portions, and the Miracle Whip gave it just a little tang on the back end. The burgers were 1/3-lb patties, cooked to medium-well and had good beef flavor, but could have used a touch more seasoning on the flat top. It had a really nice crust while still being juicy and tender in each bite.
I was encouraged to try the Chili dog as well. The bun was out of a bag but fresh, with a nice chew. The hot dog was grilled and had a good char. I believe it was all an all beef hot dog and was a good size. The chili was plentiful and made with ground beef and onions; it had a good beef flavor with a slight sweetness on the back end. Next time, I would add onions, mustard, and cheese, but I enjoyed the hot dog.
Miles Diner has a small menu of comfort and grill classics. They serve soft drinks and sweet tea pretty well, too. They have daily specials and are open for breakfast as well. The staff was very friendly and made you feel like a regular. The place is small and located in what was once a pool hall. The Fat Man says that Miles Diner is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.
