Lexington’s Tolly-Ho has served generations of UK students. Share your memories with us
Tolly-Ho, the longtime late-night staple for breakfast, burgers and banana pudding milkshakes, is moving to a new location later this year.
Fans needn’t fret though. Tolly-Ho plans to hold onto its traditions and continue serving the best late-night burger in all of Lexington. What’s more, fans might welcome some of the changes at the new location farther down South Broadway, such as the addition of drive-thru service.
The 24-hour restaurant has long been a gathering spot where police officers and revelers, professors and students, doctors and celebrities might cross paths. It’s also moved a few times since its founding in 1971.
Tolly-Ho originally opened at 108 West Euclid (now called Winslow Street) before moving to South Limestone in the 80s. In 2011, the restaurant moved to its current location, 606 South Broadway.
