When compiling a list of the best local restaurants in Kentucky, you would need a very big piece of paper and a totally empty stomach. The Bluegrass State is filled with fantastic options for a memorable meal out or a carryout dinner in your home, and narrowing down the options to only a few would prove to be very challenging. So rather than try that nearly impossible task, let’s just focus on one must-try restaurant in Kentucky. Local Feed in Georgetown serves up fresh, farm-to-table dishes in a historic building that has a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. It also happens to sit across the street from the spot where many believe bourbon was born, which makes it that much more of an iconic eatery in Kentucky.
Georgetown is a beautiful town in Kentucky that is surrounded by horse farms and filled with history.
If you're familiar with the history of Bourbon, perhaps you've heard of Royal Spring Park in Georgetown. This is where it's said that Reverend Elijah Craig pulled water to distill bourbon.
You can read more about Royal Spring Park on the town's website, but we want to focus on the historic building that sits across the street.
Local Feed is a favorite restaurant in the Georgetown and Lexington area and is known for its incredible food. The atmosphere is also fantastic as you can dine inside this former ice house and enjoy the sense of history while tasting some of the freshest meals around.
