American New Southern Food

Local dining options while train watching on Main Street can only be found in one place in the world… on Main Street in La Grange, Kentucky. Yes, a train runs through it! A freight train rumbles up and down Main Street up to 33 times a day for a truly unique dining and shopping experience. Listen for the word “Train!” as servers at One Nineteen West Main restaurant alert you to the approaching train just outside your window. The La Grange Train Observation Tower is located next to the railroad tracks at the new Main Street Bourbon and Ale House, which is quickly becoming well-known for tasty beer cheese, garlic knots and hand-crafted flatbread pizzas. If finer is what you crave, be sure to check out our newest foodie destination, a farm dining experience housed in a converted historic horse barn, Barn8 at Hermitage Farm. Hermitage is a NEW farm-to-table restaurant (among other things!) boasting all locally sourced ingredients and a gourmet farm-fresh menu with hand-crafted cocktails and bourbon bar.
