Barn8 in Goshen made USA TODAY’s list of best restaurants in the country.

The USA TODAY Restaurants of the Year 2024 list, released today, features 47 restaurants from fine-dining establishments to counter-service seafood shacks.

"It’s uplifting personally, and for the city and region, anytime a local entity is recognized on the national scale, be it a restaurant, a hotel, or a bookstore," Barn 8 owner Steve Wilson told the Courier Journal. "Laura Lee and I are grateful for the chef, the gardeners, the farmers and suppliers of local food, and the entire staff that help run Barn 8 and its host, Hermitage Farm. All are assets to our community."

USA TODAY Network food journalists from across the country pooled their expertise to select the list, which includes the places they know, love and recommend.

Barn8 was chosen because of its authentic take on farm-to-table, rotating menu full of fresh ingredients and getaway-like atmosphere. Another Kentucky restaurant made the list: Nami in Louisville.

Here’s the full list and more about Barn8.
