There’s something special about a hot, home-cooked meal. We’re talking about the kind of delicious, down-home cooking you’d find at Sunday afternoon lunch at Grandma’s. Green beans, cole slaw, cornbread, fried chicken, and pies… this is the food of any born-and-raised Kentuckian’s childhood! And when the craving strikes for a big, ‘ole plate of comfort food in Kentucky, there’s really only one option (besides, of course, Grandma’s house): The Lighthouse Restaurant.
This is The Lighthouse Restaurant, a place with quite a reputation.

Don’t forget to save room for desert, either. The homemade butterscotch pie is legendary!
