Excellent soup excellent homemade cookies fantastic breakfast. All food tastes just like home. We were there for breakfast and dinner on two different occasions with wonderful service each time. The evening meal selections are wonderful with homemade soups and very good food.
I strongly recommend this place.

❤️ Love this place! Waitresses are so sweet and treat your like family. Service is really quick so if your in a hurry it’s the place to go. Food is always great and plenty of it for the price, had to ask for a togo box!

This is a great place for early morning breakfast. I have had lunch here too and it was great. The service is outstanding. It is a neatly decorated restaurant with an equestrian and 70’s feel to it. The restaurant is kept very clean. Your food will come out quickly and as it was ordered. The location is easy to find using Google Maps and there is plenty of free parking all around the building.

Stopped on our road trip from St Louis to Bowling Green. We had the BLT club and the macaroni with beef casserole. Fries, onion rings, and coleslaw for sides. Food was delicious! Excellent value for the price. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth the stop! Highly recommend.

Some of my earliest childhood memories are of going to Merry Go Round with my grandparents, where we were always treated with the kind of warmth and hospitality you never forget. I can still remember getting lost in the charm of it all — the diner feel that nodded back to its early days, the carousel horses proudly displayed at every angle, and of course, the unforgettable cooking — especially the spaghetti.
Over the years, we made so many memories there. When my grandma passed away three years ago, I found myself thinking of that place often — how special it was to us both. I couldn’t bring myself to go back, not without her. Merry Go Round wasn’t just a restaurant to her — it was a part of her story. She used to tell me how her own mother once worked there. Her loyalty to that little diner kept our family coming back for generations.
Today, I finally gathered the courage to see if the doors were still open — and to my joy, they were. With my children in hand, off we went. Walking through those doors felt like stepping back home. The familiar warmth met us immediately — smiling faces, genuine hospitality, and that same sense of belonging that I remembered so well. The carousel horse still stood proudly in the center of the diner, just as it had years ago.
We sat down, and our sweet server brought the boys applesauce and crackers. It made me smile remembering eating the same as a child. I showed the boys how to dip their crackers in the applesauce, explaining how it was the perfect little palate cleanser before the spaghetti. And when the spaghetti arrived, it looked exactly as I remembered. But the taste — the taste brought me right back to sitting beside my grandparents laughing around the table.
After all these years, they’ve stayed true to who they are — honoring their history. It’s rare to find that kind of authenticity anymore with great food to back it up.
To our wonderful server with mother-like hospitality, and to the kind man who greeted us with a smile and great conversation and a clear love for the restaurant — thank you. My heart is full again. Today, I felt my grandma with me — and through that meal, I got to have a little piece of her once more. I will make sure to not be a stranger again. THANK YOU.

The food here was super delicious. Only part i didn’t like was the bottom bun was a bit soggy. Other than that, it was great. The fries had the perfect amount of crunchy to them. Staff is nice and respectful. Will definitely return here again.
Update: the slaw here is amazing! I don’t eat slaw anywhere else.

This little place was fabulous!!! The food was nothing short of great served in a hometown atmosphere. The wonderful waitress that took care of us was amazing. Wish I remembered her name so I could think her personally. She was there everytime you needed her and was a big part of the experience. Please stop in and eat if you are close and hungry.

Very confused on what happened to this place. Switching to Aramark has made the food more bland. Our hostess and waitress were extremely swift and very pleasant but the food was terribly cold from the moment it hit the table. Not trying to be rude but the food used to be hot and enjoyable
