Right off I 75.
Lunch with an old friend.
Loaded baked potato and a salad. ✨
Perfect.
I used to love the sunshine chicken salad lunch back in the 90s, but not so much anymore.
I'll stick to my current order.
It's wonderful and this location is convenient for out of town lunch guests.

My husband and I always eat at Rafferty's in Hamburg in Lexington . Food is always delicious , everything is clean , Staff are always very nice and we always have conversations with them . This is our go to place .
October 2025
The food is excellent, and we especially enjoy sitting outside when the weather allows—it’s very relaxing. The only downside is that one of the waitresses who works in the bar/outdoor area tends to be unfriendly. We don’t know her personally, but we’d prefer not to have her as our server.
