This family owned restaurant at 2410 Brownsboro Road has been a source of fantastic breakfasts for my husband, myself and many of our friends for decades.

The Old South Sunday is our favorite breakfast platter, but they have incredible omelets, burgers, covered, chunked and chili’d hash browns and more. Barbara Lee’s is a must visit if in Louisville.
