With so many delicious dining options within the Louisville city limits, it’s easy to forget that our city is also close to several small towns that are filled with wonderful restaurants. One such town, just northeast of downtown, has so many scrumdiddilyumptious choices that you’ll forget it’s a small town. LaGrange, Kentucky is known as a charming train town, but the dining scene in this city should definitely not be ignored!
Located just 25 minutes from Louisville, LaGrange is a historic town that still has a freight train running right down Main Street. While it's well known for this unique feature, this little town is also full of delicious spots to eat.

Another spot with a fun atmosphere is Trophy's Sports Bar on Market Street.
