Flying into Lexington at 10:34 this morning...

Sorry I can't help you but I thought this thread may be a Murray sighting... 
Agree, Windy Corner is awesome but maybe a little out of the way for you - on the east side of Lexington. But, I might suggest Winchell's on Southland Drive, another great place to eat and I like the atmosphere of a true Sports Bar and restaurant in a unique setting inside the building. Totally appropriate place for a family to eat and was started up by two guys from Lexington. Good food and workers are very friendly (good service).
Josie's on campus in Chevy chase is a great local breakfast place. For lunch Harry's is part of Malones and it's good and three locations in Hamburg, Tates Creek and Palomar, you can also order from Malones menu. Merrick Inn is excellent for dinner off of Tates Creek.
Thanks for all the suggestions!!!
Anyone have feedback on Stella's Kentucky Deli?
Thanks

I have never eaten there so can't attest to the food but the thoughts of running into some former UK greats is appealing.

I am telling you, everytime someone asks where to eat in Lexington, Joe B's is brought up everytime. I go there each time I visit Lexington. Go there is you like/in the mood for pizza. Get the bread sticks.
Try Wallace Station in Versailles. Great setting and fantastic food. The truffle fries are killer.

Still in business. The ambiance is not the same in the "new" location (I think it has been there for 4 years now), but the food is still the same.
Super Ho with Cheese on my death bed, please.

Stay away from this yuppie joint unless you and your family all wear hair gel, and wear sandals.
Jack you're going to be in Lexington???? Darn it, I wish I knew this - would have loved to meet up with you and the lovely wife !!!
Stella's is fantastic, by the way. It's my top choice for weekend brunch. But, brunch is only available on Saturday and Sunday. I'd personally recommend Ramsey's if you want breakfast food anytime. Theirs is always available and it's an epic plate of food. It's also a local restaurant, and a successful one, so that fits the bill.
Aloha Lady!!!
We're in eastern Kentucky visiting Mom right now....we plan on coming to Lexington (possibly on Tuesday) for the "required" visit to Kennedy Book Store.....we would love to meet up with you !!!

Concur on the Winchell's rec, love their Hot Brown. I wasn't all that impressed with Ramsey's on my last visit to the homeland.
We go to both. Depending upon what we're in the mood for.
Winchell's is a sports bar with enough TVs to be the set of a movie version of 1984, but the chef was trained by the Culinary Institute of America. (CIA) Great food considering that it is, in fact, a sports bar.
I've never been to Stella's (hadn't even heard of it) but their menu looks great. Will try it out.
Lexington Diner on the corner of Upper and Short downtown is very good.
Smashing Tomato for pizza
Sahara in Beaumont Center for middle eastern food
Local Taco
Blue Door Smokehouse on Walton Avenue across from the Jif plant is some of the best barbecue I've ever had
Stellas
County Club on Jefferson - get the pork belly if they have it
