In honor of the greatest two minutes in sports, we’re dishing up a true Kentucky homage: our Bourbon Ball Cheesecake. This beauty’s brimming with bourbon, crowned with roasted pecans, and nestled on a chocolate crust. It’s a sweet, Southern celebration, just like Derby Day itself.

Derby Week at Barn8 🏇 We’re leaning into bold, Southern flavor with the kind of dish that holds its own at the table:

Fischer Farms Pork Chop
14oz tomahawk cut, sweet tea BBQ brine, baked field peas

It’s rich, smoky, a little sweet, and built for a proper Derby evening. Pair it with a pour from the bourbon bar and settle in.

Our books are filling up fast this week, don’t wait to make your reservation.

Barn8 is a fresh take on farm-to-table dining. Originally building number 8 of Hermitage Farm’s historic horse stables, this unique southern experience is truly food-forward.

Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what brunch should be. A solid plate, a good morning, and a reason to stay a little longer.

Spring on a plate 🍃

Our new Cavatelli celebrates the season with housemade pasta, vibrant pistachio pesto, and creamy burrata — finished with bright, pickled ramps at their peak and a sprinkle of golden breadcrumbs.

Fresh, green, and only here for a short time, just like spring.

Roasted carrots are back on the menu—but this isn’t the same dish you might remember.

We took the idea and went in a different direction this time. Sweet roasted carrots, farmer’s cheese, a little kick from pepperoncini vinaigrette, and pistachio pesto to finish it off.

If you were a fan of the original, it’s worth coming back to see where it’s landed now. Reservations are open. 🌱

Brunch at Barn8, every Sunday!
This is what we wanted to eat for brunch—so we put it on the menu. Hush puppies with pimento cheese and bacon jam. 🍽️
