Where to eat in Lexington, Ky.

I wish I had advice for you. I went to the LSU-UK game there in 2007. When checking in, we asked the hotel clerk for any good local suggestions. Her advice (in the thickest Kentucky accent you can possibly imagine): "If you go down this here road southbound for about a mile there's a real nice Olive Garden."

I'm sure there's something worth a damn, we just never found it over our four day trip.

the previous poster had some solid recommendations; here are a few more places that we frequented when i lived in Lexington.

Near UK's campus:

Pazzo's is a solid, local pizza joint. awesome beer selection and a nice atmosphere for just hanging out.

Tolly Ho for cheap but good greasy spoon breakfast.

Bangkok House has really good Thai food. lady that runs the place nice super nice. use to eat there about once a week when i lived there.

Downtown:

Cheapside bar and grill has solid food and a great outdoor patio. If still on the menu, try the Duck Enchilada.

Alfalfa's is a local hippyish joint. lots of vegetarian and non-vegitarian options. probably the best weekend brunch in town. really simple but good, fresh, local ingredients.

Yes, we went for that game and came away thinking the same thing. However, you should ask where you can get a Hot Brown. Yes, it is real, and I loved it.

I love Atomic Cafe...nice bar/patio and good food, live music. Cheapside is fun.

so is dudley's just not any good after the move? we used to go after keeneland every time
