Restaurant review: Parkette Drive-In is totally retro
By Wendy Miller
The Parkette's sign towers above many other structures on East New Circle Road. Erected in the late 1950s, it stood for a quintessentially American dining spot: the drive-in, a place where you could eat in your car, your real "home away from home." You could be alone or with family or friends, yet enveloped, just far enough from other diners while remaining part of a collective. In 2008, the Kaplan brothers — two smart transplants who cared enough about their adopted city's unique character to rescue the closed Parkette — began restoring the place. The work has been successful — so much so that last year, it put our fair city on the Food Network's map when Guy Fieri featured it (and a few other local eateries) on his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. On any given day, the parking lot is packed with trucks and compact cars, SUVs and hybrids. It is a democratic cross-section of drivers, one that seems to reflect everyone circa now.

Hi Randy,
I just wanted to let you know I wrote an article with pictures of The Parkette that is in today's edition of the online news site
HuntingtonNews.net. The article can be read at http://www.huntingtonnews.net/local/100206-lloyd-parkette.html
I also wrote a positive review for an online review site.
My husband and I visited a couple of weeks ago and were thrilled to see The Parkette sign lit and the restaurant open. We don't get to
Lexington very often so it was a pleasant surprise.

We knew that Lexington needed the Parkette to look and feel like "the good ol' days". A place where family's can go to feel good. A place for great food, with great service and a great atmosphere. We also felt that it was equally important to keep the car port call boxes and the Car Hops in order to maintain the tradition of the Parkette. We also felt it was important to continue with the Hot Rod and Car Club shows as well. We hope you agree. It is our pleasure to bring that to you.
