"Kentucky cuisine" is how Walt's describes its menu offerings. This tristate favorite continues to fuel the controversy over who has the best ribs in town. Whatever your preference, there's no denying that Walt's delicious ribs and homey atmosphere make dining here a memorable experience. Housed in an authentic Kentucky log cabin, the restaurant has changed hands only a few times since it first opened as a Hitching Post restaurant in the 1930s. Its current owner is credited with developing the spicy, sweet sauce that has made Walt's ribs famous. With the emphasis on the meat, side dishes are simple but delicious, like sweet coleslaw and salty vegetables. Big-haired waitresses and loyal regulars round out the comfortable atmosphere.
