About this business

Joe believed that good food at a good price would bring folks in. He was right. We feel the same way. We still use only fresh ground beef and fresh chicken (and we're still using Joe's original Famous Fried Chicken recipe). The famous Parkette sign was built in 1957 and is a symbol of Lexington and stands as a monument overlooking New Circle Road., ready to serve all that pass by. The sign itself is a landmark and a point of reference for this section of the city.

You will never regret a trip to Parkette Drive in. Between the atmosphere and the friendly staff you will find yourself enjoying one of the greatest burgers of all time, the famous Kentucky Poor Boy! 🐸🇺🇸

Not the Parkette that it once was, food was tasteless and cold.

onion rings were very cold. Cole slaw was just so so. staff was very pleasant. Tenderloin sandwich was ok. It wasn't worth getting off the highway for.

It is good and we had to stop after seeing in on triple D. During Covid it is awesome to eat from your car
