Blue Skillet — Restaurant in Lexington

Ginny Virginia Arnett and I continued on our quest for good home country cooking and we hit the mother lode! YOU MUST TRY THE BLUE SKILLET if you like home cooking / soul food. Ginny had salmon croquettes with cabbage which was “more flavorful than my mom’s” who was a great cook. She felt bad about admitting this but it was the truth. I had lamb chops with a citrus glaze which were incredibly good. I also had nice baked beans and pan fried cornbread. Even my lemonade tasted good. The place is fairly small but the owner/chef (Robert) couldn’t have been more friendly. He was informative and interesting to talk to. His daughter provided the timely and pleasant service. The atmosphere is simple but feels cozy. This was one of my favorite places to eat this year. Needless to say we will be...

We ended up googling soul food and this place comes up, we went there and I got a bowl of cabbage and ate it in the parking lot. Let me tell you best cabbage ever so we decided to go back in and have dinner. Let me tell y’all I got a 6 oz steak and shrimp with greens mashed potatoes and fried cornbread. Hands down the best food I have ever ate in my life. It wasn’t even a 6oz more like 12 oz my girlfriend got fried catfish nuggets mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese I look over and she had that whole dang plate ate before I even got 25% done I mean she downed that food and she’s in love with the place. We will be back for sure best food...

My ex wife and I were in Lexington today for a doctors appointment at UK and wanted to grab a nice, hearty and delicious meal, before heading back to Nashville. THE FOOD IS AMAZING AND DELICIOUS!!!!

If you live in the Lexington area and haven’t checked them out,...
