What a hidden gem! Take the family and a blanket and picnic on the property. It's quiet and inviting. Their food is amazing. I've had several of the sandwiches and even the pinto beans and cornbread. Everything I have had was outstanding. Try the banana pepper rings. The staff is very nice and will answer any question you have. The service is efficient even in light of the lines of locals that can form. read more

Stopped here after touring a distillery in the area. Located in a former general store, plenty of seating and food options. I ordered a grilled hot brown sandwich and a bourbon chili. Chili came with sour cream, scallions and cheese on top. The hot brown sandwich was good - a good amount of meat inside and the cheese was melted and very tasty. We sat out on the back deck as it was very warm and humid inside. Overall this was a very good place - liked the Americana vibes and simplicity. read more

Wallace Station is absolutely worth the stop. I had the country ham sandwich and the bean soup, and both were excellent. The sandwich was packed with flavor, and the bean soup was hearty, homemade, and the perfect pairing. The atmosphere is laid back and full of Kentucky charm, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're passing through Midway or looking for a great local lunch spot, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be back! read more

Food was disappointing. We should not have ordered the "local" speciality, the inside out hot brown. It was very bland a smothered in a plain thick white tasteless gravy. Now we know what white cheddar Mornay is. Just say nay. Same for the potato salad. While tipping is optional, it's a choice when paying at the counter before you are served. The service amounts to a kid yelling your name and dropping off your food. We asked for catsup and we were told where to find it. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade. Ample parking even for large trucks. I'd go back, but order something different. read more

Wallace Station is a lunch institution! We popped in at 11 and were in front of the lunch rush and waited no time for our food. The country ham and pimento sandwich was loaded with flavor! Others in our group ordered the Rachel and turkey club and everyone left sated and happy. The sweet tea was delicious and freshly made, and the Miss Vickie's chips were the perfect finishing touch on it all. Wallace Station is come-as-you-are comfy casual and has indoor and outdoor seating so you can have a laid back and lazy picnic table lunch, or a slightly faster paced deli counter style in the hustle and bustle inside. read more

The food average, except the fried banana peppers, they were very good. Otherwise, average and pricier than expected.

The cleanliness of this place is down right disgusting. If you don't want to use the unisex bathroom, there are two porter johns outside by the dumpsters. Tell me how there's grease melting off the walls. Flys everywhere. Staff were making the best of a crap situation. The history of the establishment drew me in, but you can get better food elsewhere. Imagine a place that's so dirty where patrons are- how is the kitchen and staff? read more

Love this place! On a beautiful Saturday afternoon it can be crowded but they accommodate! The line moves quickly and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Today the parking lot was full, but we didn't feel too crowded and we didn't have to wait too long. The country ham and pimento cheese sandwich is the one that was on the Best Things I've Ever Eaten on the Food Network and it is incredible. The bread is from the Midway School Bakery, and it is delicious. I highly recommend Recomended! read more

Really good quick service. The big blue burger was really good. Got it on rye bread and it was 8/10. Will be back to try the fish of the day which is their specials on Friday's. But let's get straight to the money maker, chocolate bourbon pecan pie, 10/10. It's just worth going to get the pie. Also the catfish sandwich was 8/10! Get the pie and thank me later. Also sit outside if it's nice, they have a great patio area to sit in. read more

It doesn't get much more Kentucky than Wallace Station nestled in the heart of Kentucky horse country surrounded by thoroughbred horse farms. This is one of Chef Ouita's amazing restaurants. She sources all fresh ingredients from local Kentucky farms. I absolutely love Wallace station for their burgers. They were even featured by guy fieri for one of these such burgers. I also love their homemade desserts made by midway bakery just down the street. The lemon bar is truly the best one I've ever had. This restaurant has a small inside but pretty large deck to sit on outback and now they have a larger covered section. It's one of my favorites and I'd highly recommend it to locals and those traveling to Ky! read more

Inside out Kentucky hot-brown was delicious! Such great flavor and easy to pick up and eat. Loved the country ham, pimento cheese sandwich, too. An interesting and delicious combination.

This was an impromptu stop for a late lunch, and Wallace Station did not disappoint! It was crowded inside due to a recent thunderstorm, but a table opened up just in time. Hubby ordered the Big Brown Burger with fries, one of Guy Fiero's top 5 burgers, and I had a panini-grilled County Ham and Pimento Cheese on whole wheat with orzo salad. Hubby said it was one of the best burgers he ever had! The fries were perfectly cooked too. My sandwich was very with sliced tomato inside. We finished the meal splitting a sorghum cookie; yum! read more

As with all the DDD Guy Fieri featured places, I tried what he had recommended here: The Big Brown burger was huge! The beef was well cooked. I personally would have been okay with a medium well patty. I only had a bite to sample the triple meat (beef patty, bacon, and ham. I like a fresh tomato on my burgers and the cheddar mornay was a delicious complement to the sandwich. The staff were friendly and helpful. What I enjoyed the most, and the reason I would come back is hands-down the deck patio surrounded by mature trees and a yard with a rustic, dilapidated barn. It was picturesque and reminded me of places my parents would have taken us on Sunday afternoon drives during my childhood. Adding perfection to my experience at Wallace Station was the live performance of my nephew and his wife, David Austin and Baylee Morgan. read more

Ate lunch there today and everything was horrible except the French fries. Artichoke appetizer was burnt from the deep fryer, as were the hush puppies. Inedible. Fried shrimp were also over fried and as a result were tough and chewy. Not enjoyable. No air conditioning in the inside and one of the workers said only worked for about three days this summer!! Peanut butter cookie was delicious. Complained to the server and the artichoke appetizer was removed from the bill and we're given two free cookies. read more

Fourth star for the country home attitude, and great service. DDD is too old and too long ago for the new workers to remember. But here is my story: as to the burger, the famous big brown burger that Guy Fieri says, "sits on his top five of burgers", I need to say that the jury is out on that. I didn't try it I saw it so it's unfair for me to make a comment, but from what I've seen, jury is out I had the inside out big brown wasn't bad wasn't anything to write home about Was my journey worth it? Well, it was a nice drive and I got here before the rain. I did notice that a lot of the local merchants consign their baked goods, and prepared items in the Wallace station for purchase. Keep that in mind they got some pretty neat stuff. Would I come back? Maybe if I'm passing to go to one of the distilleries in this area read more

The food was great! I had the Mediterranean wrap with roasted turkey. It had a lot of flavor and a huge portion. My daughter loves their chicken salad sandwich. It has a large amount of chicken so you can easily get your protein in!! My mom got the beans and cornbread. It was very flavorful and a bowl is just the right size. My husband loved the salmon sandwich. The staff was very helpful and the service was fast. It is a popular place so be willing to wait for a parking place when they're super busy. Next time I'm trying a dessert- they looked fabulous! read more

This place is located just outside of Midway, KY and is in the hear of Kentucky horse and bourbon country.They have a cute patio outside weather depending, The place was packed, despite that our came out quickly. I had the Merv's Ham and Jalapeño sandwich, consisting of roasted turkey, ham, bacon, tomato with a white cheddar mornay and my wife had the Wallace Cuba-no, which is made with a house slow cooked and KY ground pork with Swiss Cheese, dijonnaise, Pop's pickles then grilled with a garlic annatto butter.All the sandwiches come with either white, whole wheat or rye bread. We both went with the rye bread and each is served with potato chips. A great atmosphere with excellent service. read more

Always a Fantastic Experience at Wallace Station Deli & Bakery! I was in Lexington visiting my mom, and she suggested we go to Wallace Station -- one of our all-time favorite spots. It's one of those places that never disappoints; every visit is consistently amazing. Yesterday, my mom, uncle Chuck, my girlfriend, and I all went for lunch and ordered a variety of dishes -- everything was fantastic! My girlfriend and uncle both got the Wally Burger, which they absolutely devoured. They couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. I ordered the Shrimp Po' Boy Wrap, and it was incredible -- super fresh, perfectly fried shrimp with a great crunch, and the extra toppings and sauce tied it all together perfectly. My mom went with the Mav's Hot Ham & Jalapeño, which I had to steal a bite of -- it was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. Honestly, it's one of my favorites on their menu. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and welcoming -- it has that perfect Kentucky homestyle charm. The restaurant was spotless, and even though there was a long line when we arrived, the staff kept things moving quickly. Everyone was kind and upbeat, and our chef, Asa, did an amazing job on all of our meals. Whether you're local or visiting from out of town, Wallace Station is absolutely worth the stop. It's easily one of the best lunch spots in Kentucky! read more

Was on a day trip to Versailles. Wanted something that was doggie friendly. Found Wallace by chance. Ordered the Cubano on rye and potato salad. Both hit their mark. The bread crispy and lite. The sandwich itself had good flavor, the right amount of meat and cheese porportioned, but maybe a touch more of the mustard? Potatoes done perfect and flavored just right. The outdoor deck was nice so we could sit outside with our 4 legged friend. After driving 2 hours home still full. Luckily I do get in the Lexington/Versailles area a few times a year so hopefully I can make my way back. read more

The food is great but I took a friend from out of town there and she said the restaurant was too dirty for her liking. I agree. I've seen reviews for 5 years on here and other spots talking about cleanliness. Yet it's kinda getting worse. I would suggest you hire an outside crew who comes in with a different set of eyes to look at it properly. Cannot in good faith bring others there until this is addressed. read more

Fantastic spot. From the get go, the drive is fun as you go through rolling hills to arrive at this homey building. Inside you are met with a cozy and casual place great for meeting up with friends. You order at the counter, which is lined with baked goodies to accompany the flavor packed sandwiches and other dishes they offer. On the side they offer fun treats and gifts as well, from cookbooks to honeys, sauces, bread mixes, and even more. The service is super friendly and prompt. Pricing is also fair with good portion sizes. Would definitely recommend, and highly recommend. Added bonus, I think it was featured by Guy Fieri, so if he says it's good, it likely is. read more

My husband and I just moved into town and we wanted a good sandwich. When I arrived the cashier was nice and helpful with choosing the best bread to go with one of the sandwiches. You will love the ambiance so relaxing. read more

This is such a cute place with tons of charm. Very unique experience. I came for lunch but I'll be back to try more items and spend more time here. There are some seats indoors and some seating outside - both metal tables in the deck and actual picnic tables in the yard under the trees. I tried the ham and pimento as recommended from the Food Network, it was a very messy sandwich but very delicious. There were several sandwich combinations on the menu that I'm very excited to try in the future. Can't wait to go back! read more

I cannot say enough good things! I'm visiting from Los Angeles with my partner and our two girls, 10 and 15. We wanted to drive through horse country and had discovered Wallace Station reading online about KY restaurants that have been recognized for their excellence. We found a Food Network reference for Wallace Station. From the friendly cashier who took our order (and gave recommendations on what to see on our drive) to the clean and well decorated dining room, to the delicious food, it was a great visit! We had 2 burgers, a club sandwich with the most delicious bourbon bbq sauce, and an inside out hot brown (our first taste of one) and wow - it was all perfection! Huge portions so we ended up with leftover half sandwiches which warmed up well later at dinner time. Definitely recommend - and couldn't ask for a more picturesque place to dine! read more

Love Wallace Station. Only criticism is the condition of the bathroom. I know it's an old building but it needs to be clean.

A hidden gem just minutes from Lexington. Great sandwiches. Highly recommend the Cubano, Santa Anita (get is as a wrap), or Merv's. The bread, flour, and grain used in the sandwiches are all locally (less than 10 miles away) made. They own their own bakery. Plus GLUTEN FREE options read more

As I understand it, Wallace Station is a bit of an institution in central Kentucky. With a menu that boasts shoutouts from The Food Network, and an idyllic location nestled among beautiful rolling expanses of horse farms, it's easy to understand why! If you're passing through the area, it's the perfect stop for lunch. Their sandwiches are all fantastic - our favorites are the Inside Out Hot Brown (a fun play on a local icon) and the Country Ham & Pimento Cheese. read more

It is way too hot in there. This is an unsafe environment for both the staff and the customers. I heard one employee say it was over 90° and how they wish the owner would do something about the air conditioning. I feel nothing but sympathy for the people who have to work here in the sweltering heat, because there is no way they're getting paid enough to stand next to grills in this. It's an issue when it's cooler outside than it is inside during the warmer seasons, and I can only hope that the owner does something about this. The employees were really nice about the whole thing though, and suggested that me and my family go sit outside underneath their covered patio area in the shade. Also, one younger guy, kinda heavy set, said the R word extremely loudly while I was standing in line with my family. He should be working in the back of the restaurant if anywhere, and a couple of times when I came back in to get refills, I could see that this young man needed a belt or some well fitted pants, if you know what I mean. read more
