The Best Restaurants in Lexington, Kentucky | Eater Nashville

"Epping’s on Eastside is set in a renovated historic building that once held Epping Bottling Works, home to local entrepreneur John G. Epping. A local-first mindset is evident throughout the menu, which features various Kentucky farms and producers, as well as in-house cured meats. Share a few small plates over happy hour, such as beef tallow fries and spicy Korean cucumbers, or go all-in with the grilled cowboy rib-eye. For a hearty vegetarian option, go with the rich and creamy mushroom risotto, made with grilled, local mushrooms." - Lennie Omalza
