Corned Beef at Keeneland is really good....if you looking for good Pizza and beer go to Mellow Mushroom or Pazzo's. Both are on UK campus, Pazzo's has better looking women working there (pretty much all sorority girls) and a bigger beer selection (37 beers on tap) while Mellow Mushroom has better pizza (you might get a hippie as your server). Both places pizza are pretty decent, nothing like Chicago but its not bad.

The food is bad at Keeneland and the surrounding area...which sucks because the pot is so good.

Depends what you like...you can get good steak and Malone's. Good Seafood is nowhere to be found, Furlongs is good cajun food. Ramsey's is good home cooked food if you not on a diet...its a city there is going to be good food somewhere.

Even if I was average height ( or fat like the clown you're quoting ) I'm sure I could never compete with a stud like you. I just thank God you're not in the Northeast, among all the supposed ugly women, so that at least I have a chance.

I don't eat steak or seafood, so what's left on the menu is pretty sparse. But my parents thought it was OK when they visited.

You can get a cheesy double beef burrito and two Volcano taco's for like $2.76 at Taco Bell right now.

That's all me.

Is that the place you were raving about to me lately that gave you your first taste of authentic Mexican food?

Look I just stated a scientific fact about women in Kentucky, especially Lexington, being hotter than women in the northeast. Only republicans can disagree with scientific proof. Shame on you.

Burgoo is a popular food in Kentucky. HOWEVER, Keeneland's burgoo is horrendous. Good burgoo is found at various local schools on a once a year basis in the fall.

Oh and Moonlite in my hometown has decent Burgoo...it's hit or miss though.

Bourbon Fest in Bardstown is one of my favorite events anywhere.

pdrift1 10-10-2008 12:29 AM

my fav-holly hill inn for fine dining -chefs tasting menu, use only local in season ingrediants, but out in midway the mansion at griffen gate -fine dinig and malones off tates creek for the steak, thier is 2 and a oyster and sushi bar conntected and part of malones at tates creek location. of course breakfast at the track kitchen -not to bad and get quite a bit at reasonable price if you are on a budget. ans also if on a budget the wallace station-monday nights only -i think 5-8 or 9 cheap- fried chicken dinner, black eyed peas, collared greens- true southern dinner:) but overall lexinton leaves alot to be desired when it comes to great restaurants esp fine dining. and have a great time brian-safe travels

Thanks for all the suggestions -- a heavy bout of the Keeneland atmosphere getting to me, leading to too much drinking at the track, sort of killed any hope I had for seeing anything good or getting any good food.

With that said, those who talked about Lexington food being underwhelming certainly weren't kidding.

A great time anyway, can't wait to go back. Outside of Arlington, it's probably my favorite track I've ever been to...and it may even actually give my home track a run for its money.

Place was beautiful, the racing was great, the people were friendly, and the payoffs were plenty palatable all weekend :D

I didn't mind the food at all. I mostly had the Bread pudding with Makers Mark..

but I'm comparing Keeneland to Fairmont where you are probably eatting the last place horse from last week.
