The best kept secret for freshly made deli sandwiches & good ol country folks talking horse. Horse…read moreracing is always in the TV. Being a foodie from Vegas, I highly recommend this locals convenient store & have been coming here for 5 years now. During the horse sales at Fastig-Tipton, I always stop in here as it's on the way & order the same thing everytime.
Two Country Ham sandwiches, American cheese, onion, lettuce, fresh tomato from the backyard garden on white bread w/ mayo. A bag of Funyons & can of Ale 8 for only $10.49. Trust me, Robbie knows how to make a sandwich, it's loaded w/ meat. They have a variety of sandwiches from Roast Beef to Bologna to Pimento Cheese.
They also sell beer & other beverages, snacks, chips, candy, lottery tickets, even Hannah's Pickled Eggs. Outdoor seating or grab a booth inside on the right w/ all the locals & say hi.
They'd have a solid 5 stars, but I don't think many regulars around these parts use Yelp. Being an Indian woman from the city, I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place walking in here. I thoroughly enjoy the company, friendly banter, food & catching up on racehorse politics, about the Derby & latest news & events.
Walk in with an open mind & learn something new & meet some good ol locals here next time you are in Lexington or traveling through KY. It's worth the drive & surrounded by beautiful farms.
