Good food options near Rupp

[rick64]

My cousin picked up a couple of resale tix online. So we're leaving Louisville about 330pm to get in town to grab a bite to eat before the game.

Where's a good place to get good food near Rupp? Don't want to spend a fortune. Is Joe B's still any good? What else is around?

Joe B’s is ok. New owners have made some small changes, most notably the garlic bread stick recipe. Slight difference but noticeable.

I’d head to Tony’s, but it is a little expensive.

We like to go to Nic and Norman’s before games.

Short walk over to Rupp too.

We’re not making it to the game tomorrow but we will be there Saturday

Noon game makes it a little odd for Nic and Norman’s, if they are even open then?

So we may hit up Carson’s for brunch?

Sawyers is good, pies and pints, blue skillet is good (soul food). Columbia's is good (night hawk special). Southland Drive has Winchell's which is good as well. Tolly Ho's. There are tons of options. LEX LIVE right beside Rupp is good. Has good food and service (at least when I have gone).

Carson’s is a great choice.

Tolly Ho should never be eaten before midnight.

Mama Tequila if you like Mexican food.

Lex Live has fantastic wings! Pies & Pints has great pizza. Both are right next door.

Pies and Pints is good for a good slice!

If you like Italian Tony & Dino’s is a very good Italian restaurant. A little pricey but not horrible for downtown. Carson’s is also a great choice.

If you want some Lexington classics Winchell's or Ramsey's is within 10 minutes of Rupp (maybe a bit more with traffic). Carson's is becoming a staple and is closer, a little more expensive than the previous two I mentioned.

A P Suggins on Romany road for a bit cheaper. Lots of UK fans go there.
