A local restaurant has won a prestigious national award.

Carr's Steakhouse in Mayfield is one of only four recipients of this year's Restaurant Neighbor Award, awarded annually by the National Restaurant Association to restaurants that demonstrate an unwavering commitment to their communities.

Since the restaurant's inception six years ago, Carr's employees have worked to help their neighbors and better their community by organizing numerous events. Fundraising efforts, which raised roughly $50,000, have allowed children in Graves County to enroll in youth sports.

Their pinnacle event last year was raising funds to keep Princess Theaters alive. They served a free meal to the community in exchange for donations to the movie theater and raised thousands of dollars to keep the establishment in business.

Owner Daniel Carr said it's important to give back to the community.

“Everybody can do it, regardless of whether they have 600 employees or 10 employees,” Carr said. “They can make a difference in people's lives, whether they are in New York City or Mayfield, KY.”

For winning, Carr's received $10,000 to support their community efforts and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to receive their award during a gala awards dinner, which was held last month.
