Lexington · since 1954
Old-school comfort food on Leestown Road — daily specials, house desserts, and catering for the neighborhood that grew up with it.
Thoroughbred has served the same shopping-center corner on Leestown Road for decades — meatloaf and baked chicken, ribs and burgers, desserts made fresh in-house. The Herald-Leader has called it Lexington’s second-oldest still-operating restaurant (after Columbia Steakhouse on North Limestone).
Come hungry. Call ahead for today’s specials, or check the Facebook page where the kitchen posts what’s on.
