Looking for new places to try around the state and always looking for new places in Lexington where I live. In Lexington, my favorite right now is Windy Corner Market. As for the rest of the state, I don't know that I have a favorite but I always enjoy Old Hickory and Moonlite BBQ in Owensboro. And the porkchop at Patti's Settlement.
What's your favorite restaurant in Kentucky and in Lexington?

My favorites in Lexington are Saul Good and Proud Mary's. Both involved lots of beer so my opinion may be a bit skewed, but enjoyed food at both.
Me my wife enjoyed Saul Good. Wouldn't know about the beer options, neither of us drink. Haven't heard of Proud Mary's.
Everyone has their own tastes in BBQ, and I thought theirs was some of the best I've ever had. Check their site for when they open.http://www.proudmarybbq.com/
Will definitely give it a look. BBQ is our favorite type of cuisine and we enjoy all types.
Doe's Eat Place in Paducah. Steakhouse that has big cuts and a la carte sides.
OP's mom. Mon-Sun. Happy Hour/Open to close.
Man she changed her hours. It's Tue-Sun but happy hour is still open to close.
Windy Corner is great. There's more more restaurants by Chef Ouita Michel, Holly Hill Inn in Midway, Wallace Station in Versailles and Smithtown Seafood on West 6th.
Red State BBQ - BBQ dive at an old motel on US 25 Georgetown Road w/ beer cheese grits

You just made me crave a wedge salad.
Not easy to say favorite because I don't know how to compare casual places with fancy places. I like them both, in different ways.
I do know that I have always loved Jack Fry's. Just my kind of place. I've never really been disappointed with Mussel Burger Bar in Louisville as well.
In Lexington, my favorite used to be Yamaguchi, but it closed (although I have heard a rumor of a joint venture between them and Jonathan Lundy in the future).
I'll always like Giuseppes. I think Tony's is probably the best quality food in town.
Lexington Diner is good. And I like places like Taqueria Ramirez. Just a hole in the wall but good food. Same for the Indi's/Richie's duo. Winchells is always good.

Yeah. Nothing crazy about it. Just solid food, and a pretty chill local vibe. Always liked the place.
Outside of Louisville??? Here is their official address: 11507 Park Rd, Louisville, KY 40223
[laughing]
Yeah, I guess. R Place Pub is also "outside of Louisville".
Valhalla is definitely my favorite golf course outside of Louisville.
Never been to tony's. But my dad works with the chef's wife so my parents are there like twice a month. Matter of fact, them and my brother were there for his birthday on monday.
I am obviously not the favorite son.

Agree! My husband works primarily overseas; we travel a lot and have eaten in many restaurants in many places. Doe's is my husband's favorite restaurant. I love it too.
The original Doe's is in Mississippi and was started in the front room of an amazing black chef's family's house. They pride theirselves on using the best aged meat and cooking it perfectly.
Anyone coming to Paducah should do their self a favor and eat at Doe's. PS. You need to take 2-3 people with you and order the 3-4 lb sirloin. Make sure you ask for extra bread to sop up the juice.
