The original structure was built around the turn of the century and can be found on the National Register of Historic Places. It sits near Midway and was a major part of this small, railroad community.
Today this area is known more for its horse farms than the railroad, although the tracks do still run right through the center of town.

When driving along scenic Old Frankfort Pike, you'll come to this unassuming white building and a parking lot that will very likely be full. Pull in and find a spot because there's a reason this remains a favorite horse country restaurant in Kentucky.
The interior is cozy and filled with horse memorabilia.
