About Thoroughbred Restaurant

Thoroughbred Restaurant is a warm and friendly eatery with excellent food and drink, located in the Lex/Georgetown area. The daily blackboard menu features delicious options like Buffalo chicken fingers, trout, and hot brown. The classic and funky atmosphere, along with the attentive staff, enhances the dining experience. The owner frequently visits tables to ensure guests are satisfied and has earned praise for his outstanding service. Generous portions are a highlight, and the butterscotch pie remains a must-try dessert.

Recently, the restaurant has also hosted special events, like a 70th surprise birthday party, where guests raved about the delicious brisket sliders, potato skins, beer cheese platter, and one of the best mini hot browns they had ever tasted. Customers have enjoyed dishes like the lamb with mashed potatoes and gravy, which was praised for its medium rare preparation, as well as the lamb chops with green beans and fried green tomatoes, noted for their home-cooked flavor. With a cozy hometown vibe, the restaurant continues to impress visitors, offering local specials and a great selection of drinks. The friendly service is appreciated, and many express gratitude for the overall value and quality of the meals. While parking may require a short walk, the experience at Thoroughbred Restaurant is well worth it. Arriving early is recommended to secure a table at this popular spot.
