Property to Plate


One of the hallmarks of dining at The Kentucky Castle is our commitment to the highest quality ingredients for our guests. We take immense pride in sourcing ingredients directly from our very own farm and garden. This ensures that every dish served is bursting with flavor and brimming with nutrients. 


Our dedicated dining team works closely with our gardeners to harvest the freshest produce daily. Whether it's crisp vegetables, fragrant herbs, or farm-raised proteins, each ingredient is carefully selected to create unique dishes. This hyper-local approach to dining means that you’re not just enjoying a meal; you’re experiencing the essence of Kentucky’s rich agricultural heritage.

“This was a highlight on our trip! We saw the Castle last year when passing through and couldn’t wait to come back to try. It is a neat experience. Not your everyday place to go for lunch or dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, grounds, and food. Would highly recommend.” - Debbie

Seasonal Menus


Our chef embraces the rhythm of the seasons, crafting menus that reflect the quality ingredients available. In spring, you might savor tender asparagus or sweet strawberries atop our Belgian-style waffles for breakfast. While summer brings an abundance of ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and fresh peppers. Autumn introduces hearty root vegetables and rich, savory dishes, while comforting soups and slow-cooked meats complement winter’s chill.

Indulge in our breakfast and lunch menu, open daily from 8:30 AM—1:00 PM, for delectable buttermilk biscuits and gravy, or satisfy your sweet tooth with our seasonal waffle offerings. Join us for a savory dinner, open Sunday through Thursday 5:00 PM—8:00 PM and Friday through Saturday 5:00 PM—9:00 PM, to enjoy delicate and fresh salads and exquisite seafood dishes.

“This was our first time at the castle and we were not disappointed.  Arrived a little early for our 8:30 dinner reservations, so we explored the farm a little and took a seat at the bar.  The Lavender Lemon Drop was phenomenal!  Jordan and Noah were very pleasant and attentive.  They took care of everyone and they were still very kind amongst the few busy bursts they encountered.  Once we had a table, we were moved over where Emily took care of us.  We were greeted with the same kindness and care we had received from the gentleman at the bar.  The food was great, we both had the wagyu steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables.  It did not disappoint!  All in all, we walked into the castle for the first time feeling like we didn’t belong there being two “farm kids” from different sides of the world… to leaving feeling like we belonged and that we had been to the castle many times.  We were made to feel like we were regulars there who had established friendships long ago with the three wonderful souls mentioned above.  So, thank you Jordan, Noah, and Emily.” - Candice & Matt
