This is an absolutely great place for a good diner type experience. If you’re looking for some good ole fashioned burgers and fries this is a great place to try.
I had the Jumbo A1 burger with curly fries. It was amazing. Very big beef patty with plenty of A1 sauce.
My girlfriend ordered the patty melt with pickle fries. The patty melt was cooked perfectly and the pickle fries were the best.
Highly recommend 88 Dip if your in the area

The food here is pretty good, my favorite is their Tex Mex salad! The ingredients were surprisingly fresh and the chicken was grilled perfectly. The burgers are on the smaller side but they taste good. The service was VERY slow. I called in an order and still had to wait 5-10 minutes when I got there.

Today we took a step back into the simpler life, similar to my early teens; a country Dairy Dip/Diner in Marion, KY. It gave us a Happy Days or Grease vibe; memories from our youth!
Everyone was very sociable and courteous; greeting everyone. You’d think they knew us! Lol The music was a 60’s – 90’s mix and was fun to listen to, and think back on younger days.
There were alot of options to eat; from burgers and fries, pizza, meat and 3 plate lunches, to shrimp, fish and even steak dinners…plus all the dairy dip favorites; cones, sundaes and milk shakes galore!
Marvin had the large chocolate shake, I chose butterscotch!
Omg, they tasted like grandma’s, made with home churned ice cream and rich cocoa! Mine tasted like a creamy Werther’s, in milkshake form.
They were delicious…and huge! I think a small would have sufficed for me, had I know how big they were!
I had fried Blue Gill, with fries and coleslaw. It was moist, flaky, not greasy and delicious! It tasted so fresh, I could almost imagine mom frying it up after a day of us fishing!
Marvin got the Western Burger with fries and slaw. It was juicy and tasted awesome; like it just came off our back yard grill!
Mom got the shrimp basket, with fries and slaw. She said it was really good, but she wouldn’t share a piece, to let me find out for my self! Lol
Our server was quick to respond; our glass was never empty and our service was great!
It was a great afternoon; I highly recommend them, if you are ever out riding country roads near Marion, KY and looking for a great place to eat!

They are nice people. The shake machine was down. Again, from what others say. The burgers were good but not amazing. The catfish was over salted (I’m not a prude either). The fries were limp. The fried pickles were good ( a large is about a medium fries at McDonald’s in size and 13 bucks). Coleslaw was different but not in a bad way ; however, slaw lovers may scoff. Coke was off taste and needed heavy calibration.Nothing was 4to5 star though. Its rated higher due to the people are nice. Spent 100plus for family of 3 kids 3 adults

The food is over priced for quality. It’s either burnt or under seasoned. The catfish isn’t really even catfish. Sometimes the staff is great, sometimes bored, rude kids with no manners.

If they are known for there burger and fries. They missed the spot. We stopped for lunch. That was one of the worst burgers I have ever ate. Everyone who was with me agreed. And the tasteless fries. We won’t even go there. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Haven’t been to the restaurant inyears. And if anything the food got worse.

We love nostalgic diners and this one suited us well. Named for the Oldsmobile Rocket introduced in 1952, the year the diner opened. At first it was an ice cream & shakes Drive In, which was a new style of dining that Jones & his partner observed on their driving trips to Chicago to pick up new Oldsmobiles for their car dealership. It quickly became a full service diner & a local favorite. The building was added to several times, overtaking most of the parking space for new Oldsmobiles at the dealership. There is no longer a dealership, just this quaint and very friendly diner. They have a huge menu and 8-10 daily blue-plate specials. Buddy got the Hot Brown with mashed potatoes (of course) & fried Okra. He said it was the best roast beef he had EVER had. I had the low carb chicken topped with Swiss, onions, & green peppers with a side of green beans (cooked with ham, naturally). Valerie topped up our teas several times and brought out the 2 page ice cream & shake menu. After difficult deliberation, he chose butter pecan. It was fabulous. We will return if we’re in Marion, KY again!
