She even offered to take our picture. I had the meatloaf meal, and it was delicious.

This place is one of Kentucky's most beloved little local diners. This place has been serving…read moresimple, old-school comfort food for generations. You can walk inside to a small counter with just a handful of tables, where everything feels warm, familiar, and unchanged. The regulars swear by the juicy double cheeseburgers, big footlong chili dogs, and some of the best coleslaw you'll find anywhere. They have a good line of milkshakes either, especially the butterscotch shake. The place fills up fast, and most of the customers there we saw did not even need a menu because they already know what they want. That is not the case for us, as we were just paying thru the area. But this is the kind of diner where the food tastes the same as it did years ago, time seems to slow down, and you're treated like family the second you show up. We both went with the Double Cheese burger with all the topping expect the chili one. The onions on these burgers were an outstanding. I could have ate a whole cup of them by their self. My wife had a large onion rings for her side, while I opted for the large curl fries. My wife noted that the onion ring were breaded correctly and the onion did not slide out of the breading when you bite in to them, the curly fries were also firm and just the right amount of crispness. The service is attentive and makes you feel like you are a regular, and expressed a fine example of true southern hospitality. This place is good choice for a solid quick and traditional meal with a very laid back environment that is very welcoming. If you are in the area we highly recommend that you give this place a try.

It is Americana at it best; excellent food served quickly by a friendly wait staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the gulf shrimp cook just right where cocktail sauce wasn't needed along with a double helping of okra fried to perfection.

The Local has certainly changed, and mostly in a good way. Be warned: if you look at the menu…read moreposted online, it's completely different, and prices are about double. The burger that used to be just under $8.00 is now $15.00, as are most items on the menu. I don't have a problem with the prices, but many people around here will, especially because it's so different than what is posted online. Management, update the online menu! Don't mislead potential customers. The quality of the food has greatly improved since the last time I was there, and there many more healthy choices. Our server (sorry I don't remember her name), was friendly and attentive. I had the burger, which was solid. My husband had a protein bowl with chicken and quinoa, and he enjoyed it. It was big enough for him to have a second meal of it the next day. Overall, I recommend.

Second trip lacked a little bit to that, with all the bread we were given (biscuit, muffin, etc) being a bit on the overly done side. The wait to get things was a little long...I know crowds sometimes can slow things down, so we took that in stride. Inside both times was clean, although I did have to repair the toilet for myself to ensure it flushed (handle was off), hope that made the day easier for someone else lol. Favorites so far are the hot honey chicken and anything and all things eggs. Anyway, will be back and hoping we just faced a one-off on that day! SYOY!
