Nestled in the heart of downtown Madisonville, Walkers Cafe is a restaurant and vintage soda fountain where the spirit of the good old days is alive and well.

The atmosphere isn't the only thing that's old-school at Walkers - prices have barely budged over the years, either. Check out the sign for 25-cent coffee!

Inside, the atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a good old-fashioned, all-American diner.

Checked floors, red leather seats, and vintage memorabilia impart a retro charm that will instantly take you back to the 1950s.

On the menu, you'll find a wide selection of Southern comforts sure to satisfy any craving.

From hand-battered chicken-fried steak to thick, juicy burgers to sandwiches piled high with all the fixings, there's no shortage of deliciously down-home options.

If you're in the mood for something a bit lighter, there are seven different salads to choose from.

You can also take a trip to the salad bar and build your own for just $6.99! Burgers sans bun and grilled chicken are a couple of the other healthier menu items available.

While everything here is absolutely scrumptious, it's the Friday night fish and shrimp that locals can't get enough of.

All-you-can-eat, the plates are served either grilled or fried and come with coleslaw or a side salad, French fries, hush puppies, and pinto beans (upon request.)

You can also opt for just the catfish if shrimp isn't your cup of tea, or forgo the all-you-can-eat option and order two or three fish filets instead.

Prices per plate range from $9.59 to $20.59 depending on what you order. Click here to see the full menu and learn more.

Even if you're stuffed to the gills, it would be a cardinal sin to skip dessert at Walkers.

Their hand-spun milkshakes will send your taste buds straight to a sock hop, and the homemade baked goods are as decadent as they look.
