Legendary Lexington burger restaurant Tolly-Ho apparently is closing for good this time.
The restaurant on South Broadway that has served University of Kentucky students and professors, late-night diners and those looking for a cheap lunch will close after serving customers on Dec. 31. The news was first reported by WKYT.
The restaurant did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After the story was on TV, the restaurant was swamped with customers coming in for one last Ho Burger.
