Last summer we stopped in Frankfort on our way back from Lexington to take a tour at Buffalo Trace Distillery. I also researched nearby places to eat on the Food Network App and found out about Rick’s White Light Diner.
I got really excited about trying their food and then I discovered that the restaurant was closed on Sundays. I’ve been wanting to eat there ever since.
I was back in Frankfort for a conference this summer and a few attendees joined me for a first time visit.
The diner is small and filled with lots of personality.
Our meal was even prepared by Rick himself! He asked us if we had seen him on Diners, Drive in and Dives on the Food Network.
I ordered one of the most popular menu items, the shrimp po boy and friend green tomatoes for $15. He shared with us that all of the seafood is from the United States and that he uses local farmer’s products as often as possible as well.
The sandwich had a great blend of spices and the French bread was delicious. The fried green tomatoes were also really tasty.
Rick’s White Light Diner is located at 114 Bridge Street, Frankfort, KY. You can learn more about them from their website.
