Lighthouse Restaurant

Mike F. described the food and eating experience perfectly.The Lighthouse Restaurant in Sulphur Well, Ky is not only a local legend but their fame is truly national. I traveled a circuit of the United States for many years and as Sulphur Well is my home address I was constantly shocked by the number of people I met who knew just where it was. The most common response to where I was from was "that restaurant"!Well, that restaurant and the old country store are all that is left now of a long and unique history. As for The Lighthouse Restaurant,formerly Porters Restaurant, they have made their place in history.That Restaurant is the place to be for the best home style cooking you'll ever enjoy.Authentic log cabins are available for rent there now at Cabin Creek along with the wonderful shopping experience of unique antiques at the Piddlin' Barn.Just in case you're wondering, I am not involved in any way with any businesses here.

There is never a time where I'm in the area that I don't stop by this place. It's been a favorite spot for many years. Not one thing to complain about other than I don't get to the area as often as I would like.Beautiful spot in the country and the park across the street was restful after eating.

If you like a country style setting and food you will enjoy this place. The atmosphere is great and the food is fabulous. Afterwards you can walk across the road and check out the sulfur Spring.

Really good southern comfort food. Busy so be sure to make reservations. Friendly service.

The best food in the state of KY . Hot fresh food. Had the fried chicken mac and cheese home made and onions rings. Not a single one was cold very happy. Will be back very soon

Truly the best southern home cooking AYCE family style restaurant still in existence. It's literally way out in the country here in Kentucky, but it is a dining destination that draws folks in from all over. It has to as there isn't enough local population to even well staff the restaurant. They are only open 3 days a week Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. They have a menu, but it simply doesn't make sense to have anything but the AYCE family meal. It starts with sliced tomatoes and cole slaw, both are delicious. One obviously home grown and the other home made. Then the main meal arrives with Country Ham, Fried Chicken, & Fried Fish as the meats. Red eye gravy comes along as an accompaniment for the country ham. Boiled potatoes, green beans, lima beans, and fried apples are the sides along with a bread that seems to me to be a hybrid of a biscuit and a roll. Normally if you eat right you won't have any room left for their legendary home made pies but do take one to go for later.

BEST HOME COOKED FOOD EVER (Just like Grandma made it!). Everything is homemade and cooked to order. Every single staff member treats you like family, whether it's your first time or thousandth time there. See pics for our lunch choice today. Started with crackers, butter and preserves (like Cracker Barrel). I DO MISS THE HOMEMADE PRESERVES THO!!

The food is good and the service is friendly. You can order or order family style. I think that is good due to some people don't eat that much, but family style good for people that like to eat a lot.

Too notch restaurant!!! Great place to eat and a nice senic drive to get there! The pies are amazing too!

Delicious home style country cooking.....ham, chicken & fish cooked to perfection. All the veggie sides are so good. Looking forward to going back and trying to save room for dessert! A real treat!
