Berryman's Tastytreat — Restaurant in Mount Sterling

I’m thoroughly impressed. I went in for lunch and I decided to try the house specialty- The Berryman. The clerk tried to dissuade me from ordering it because it was so large and he wasn’t sure if I would be able to eat the whole thing. Checking my insecurity, I inquired as to the components of this burger and his response was that it was two large patties on Texas Toast with the chili they have been making since they first opened in 1951, then they add cole slaw. (Which is a tradition in this part of Kentucky- lots of small town restaurants here add slaw to their burgers!) I was still feeling bold enough to order the burger and added a medium sized fries and large root beer and thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing with minimal slop from the wet toppings. It was not too busy when I was there, but they are rebuilding the sidewalk and it looks like it’s not open, but the drive...

Boy has this place went downhill. Chilli dog was a mushy mess, the chili was watery and sweet to the point the dog came through the bottom of the bun and the hotdog taste like it was boiled and left in water till it was very soft and had no flavor. My wife says i would eat stuff that a dog wouldnt eat and i threw 1 of 2 chili dogs away. Wife got a double cheeseburger that she couldnt eat cause it was disgusting. Ive ate premade patties out of a box and am ok with them but these were the cheapest form of premade patty ive ever tasted. I guess the only thing that was ok was the fries but $25 for 2 chili dogs a double cheeseburger, 2 fries a coke and a niagra bottle water was a complete ripoff that over half ended up in the trash. Service with a smile wont happen here, the server seemed miserable to be there. All in all i wouldnt go eat at Berrymans again even if it...

I have loved Berryman’s ever since I moved to Mt Sterling, every time family came to visit we would all go there to eat and I myself would go two and sometimes three nights a week, the food was always wonderful and the service was truly outstanding but here lately it just hasn’t been the same, the food is hit or miss and the service is just awful and I mean awful, i went again tonight just hoping it’s not the new normal to be so horrible but unfortunately this trip will be the last for me and or my family when visiting, my order was wrong but yet we were treated and looked at as if it were our fault, I absolutely never complain but I hope this reaches the right person and something is done to save this place! I love the renovations but I just want our old Berrymen’s back when it comes to...
