This Award-Winning Restaurant Serves Up The Best Down-Home Cooking In Kentucky

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.

Located along Highway 70 in historic Sulphur Well, this is a beautiful and underrated region of Kentucky; the kind of place you want to stop and stay awhile.

(After a hot, home-cooked meal, of course.)

This unassuming little restaurant has been voted Kentucky Living's "Best Down-Home Restaurant" for several years running -- and once you visit, you'll know why.

This is the kind of homemade, down-home cooking we all remember from our childhood.

Southern specialities like mac and cheese, cornbread, butter beans, biscuits, and fried chicken... this is what you'll find at The Lighthouse Restaurant.

Let's take a moment to honor this fried chicken, shall we? Because it's a work of art.

Gather 'round the table and fill up a plate -- don't be shy! The portions are plentiful here.

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

There's a reason this humble little establishment has been voted the top "down-home restaurant" in Kentucky for three years running. The friendly service, homey atmosphere, and crave-worthy country cooking all make The Lighthouse Restaurant a quintessential and downright delightful Kentucky experience!
