“Best brisket ever and the staff are great.“

“This bbq spot catered our company (Toyota) for our driver appreciation week and I don’t know where to begin oh wait yes i do!!!! Im going to start by saying babyyyyyy the peach bread pudding was the bomb absolutely delicious… Ok the pulled chicken with Memphis sweet bbq sauce, bbq baked beans,green beans and beer cheese grits were also good buttttt that peach bread pudding ❤️❤️… i highly recommend and the server he was so nice i didn't catch his name but he know who he is…“

“Most importantly, locally owned, with a great low-key vibe and personable staff. I took home the Render's Reuben made with beef brisket and the sauteed Brussels sprouts. Both were wonderful, and both were some of the best I've ever had (meaning best Reuben sandwich and best Brussels sprouts. The brisket was tender and generous. Will return with a friend for a sit-down meal soon.“

“Visiting from out of town and was looking for someplace that served up some Burgoo. I first tried burgoo at Churchill Downs and really enjoyed the taste. I saw an article online listing Double H BBQ as one of the top burgoo locations in Lexington and decided to give it a try. Glad I did. Their burgoo was broth based and what I was looking for. Also tried the white chicken chili, green beans and a small brisket sandwich. Everything I tried was good and made my belly happy.“

“Fantastic!! Nicest staff ever, too. The hushpuppies are to die for - don't miss out. Every time we have ever ordered food from here, it's fast, fresh, and hot. Consistently delicious, as well. Highly recommend this place! They have a rewards program that really does have great benefits.“

“Best brisket I’ve ever had! Corn pudding good too.“

“This spot is great for a casual bite to eat. They have very good food and I will definitely be back. I took away one star because of the appearance. In fact the first night when we pulled in we actually ended up leaving because it just looks so run down and there is a dilapidated hotel or something in the back. But after reading more reviews we decided to give it a try the next night and were sorry we didn't come in the night before. The food and service are excellent! Don't be scared off by the appearance.“

“Another great spot in Lexington that most don’t know about. They have a great menu that changes monthly that will keep you coming back for more. The smashburger and oxacan fries is outstanding. Huge outdoor seating area that’s available as well as cozy indoor seating.“

“First time eating here! And it was the best experience ever. I got curbside pickup and the lady that brought me my food was super friendly and very nice. The food was worth every penny. I got the baked potato with brisket and it was huge the brisket was amazing. My 17yo looked at me and says why have we never eaten here before it the new favorite place for him! That says a lot. I would recommend to anyone looking for great BBQ food!!“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this place right off the highway; I liked the food and the vibe (leather booths and copper accents). We enjoyed the Trifecta appetizer combo, sliders, and the burger. Jonathan took good care of us. Very reasonable prices too. We’ll be back!“

“I like that place but expansive“

“Ms Elizabeth J. Is wonderful. A guest of ours came in to praise us. Let us know how good the vibes are in our restaurant. Ms Elizabeth really liked the atmosphere food and our professionalism.. Ms Elizabeth, thank you so much! Look forward to seeing you again! Sonny’s mgr and team“

“Was at proud Mary's for mothers day and had an wonderful time. Food was amazing. Upstairs bathroom was super clean. Out side area was super clean staff was also amazing and super clean. I see comments about an bathroom being not so clean. Well here is what I have to say don't let your children stuff whole roles of butt paper in the John's and if u make a mess let some one know. And the place is very old and down stair is an over flow restroom u would be complaining if it was closed. Yes it has water in floor but also seen a boy and girl playing in sink and stall. Over 5 out of if I could give 6 stars I would.“

“Today my bestie and I tried Korean BBQ for the first time and it was AMAZING!!! First off the staff (I didn’t get the young ladies name) was BEYOND amazing she helped us choose our food and showed us all that we needed to do with cooking our own food. She was super sweet. The food was freaking amazing! We had the meat and seafood. Our first time trying squid and it was pretty good. We felt warm and welcomed here and it was truly an authentic experience. We definitely plan on returning to try more things.“
