“Hidden Gem alert!! First off- the prices are an incredible value. My son and I stopped by early to watch the horses train and stumbled across this amazing place.The staff are so friendly and the food is exactly what you want on a crisp spring morning.They are here to provide food for the many folks of Keenland, but we were welcomed and felt right at home dining.If you are a horse aficionado or just a novice the restaurant had picture of horses and jockeys scattered on the walls and a rich history of Keenland.Don't let the nice price fool ya...this is southern cooking at its finest!!Vegetarian options: They have different options.Dietary restrictions: They make orders fresh so this is easy to accommodateParking: East parking access.Kid-friendliness: They are kiddo friendly and have high chairs.Wheelchair accessibility: Standard accessibility“

“Great service and top speed. If you need to have a nice dining experience in a short amount of time, this is your place. Every first watch I have visited actually performs at high level and always delicious food. Great atmosphere. My favorite was Waffles with blueberry compote. I also had an omlete. On another visit and it was a 10/10.Vegetarian options: Great options for vegans. Healthy option.“

“Stop by for breakfast they did not disappoint. My Shrimp and grits was flavorful with charred sun-dried tomatoes, andouille sausage! My husband got his usual 3 eggs over easy, sausage links, potatoes and toast with coffee. Service was attentive and pleasant.“

“My favorite breakfast place ever and so delicious. Very accommodating to my allergies! Even though the menu might look limited to dietary restrictions, substitutions are very flexible and they are so caring. Quick service even when busy. 5⭐️!“

“Absolutely love this unique breakfast spot. The food is amazing and the service is great as well. We got a free cinnamon biscuit and then they accidentally made double of their food and asked everyone in here who wants the extra food that was cooked. Would highly recommend!“

“Excellent! One of the top 5 breakfasts I have very bad! The Kalamity Katie's Border Benedict was literal Tex-mex perfection, the 3 cheese grits were delicious - and the Stuffed French Toast was truly divine! We were traveling through, but if I’m ever close by again, I’d drive an hour out of my way to eat the exact same meal again - no joke!100% worth the stop!Kid-friendliness: Super accommodating to our kids - and a menu that’s perfectly suited for them as well!“

“My family brought me here for a special birthday breakfast. Kennedy our server was very kind and attentive. The manager Jason went above and beyond to accommodate our family. He even personally prepared the meal for our son with celiac disease so that it could be as safe as possible. He personally brought it out himself and even spent time engaging our squirmy younger son as well so he would be entertained and we all could enjoy our food. I’ve always enjoyed First Watch and today they moved up even higher in my book. It was a nice start to my birthday for sure! Thank you!!!“

“Tackhouse Pub is my brunch haven, and the hot brown dish is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. The combination of flavors left me speechless, and I usually reserve that for important things like brunch. The cozy atmosphere and impeccable service make it a must-visit. Tackhouse Pub, where every bite of the hot brown is a step closer to brunch nirvana!“

“This is a good Waffle House (some are just passable). The staff were very responsive and it is jammed on Sunday morning...always a good sign. The fried egg sandwich is my 'go to' and if you can get them to make it, try the chili cheese omelet. You will not regret it.“

“Excellent food, friendly staff, great coffee! Eggs were cooked perfectly 2 different ways. The fresh fruit was actually FRESH - as in cut right off the pineapple. It was busy but we didn't wait long at all for our food. Loved the free refills on coffee and tea. Cute outdoor seating area. Can't wait to go again!“

“This is the best Waffle House in the country. This is just my opinion, but after going to at least 50 different Waffle House locations over the years, the food at this one hits differently. I'm not sure what they do differently here, but the waffle is always fluffier than other locations. As the case at most Waffle House's, the staff is kind. There's an older gentleman who greets everyone as they walk indoors & helps them to their table. If there's a wait, he will take their names down, wipe their table, & sit them once it's ready for customers. The food always comes out hot & tasting fresh. I cannot say this about other locations. Every time I come back to Lexington, I always make a stop at this Waffle House before I leave town because it's a positive & filling experience every time. Shout out to this location!Parking: This Waffle House has its own parking lot. However, this location stays busy & you may have to wait for parking since it can only handle so many vehicles.“

“This has got to be the best one in town by far. I and a Co worker go in, and we cut up and bring the crew into it, and we all have fun. The cook is a heck of a fellow and the waitress has been there everyday but one. We love her as well. They talk and joke back. I see them recognize a regular and talk and ask how they are. A staff like that is way to cool. 3rd shift crew. You peeps are the bestParking: Easy to get in and out of.“

“This location is so conveniently accessible off Leestown Rd not far from the Citation-Leestown intersection on Lucille Dr beside Ramsey's. I chose one of their pancake meals with strawberries and blueberries with bourbon cream cheese and whipt cream. I was not disappointed as it was delicious and a lot of food. Meal plus coffee under $15. Plenty of seating. Spotless restroom. Overhead music low enough for comfortable table chatting. A large free parking lot. Definitely a go back to place.“

“We frequent this location because it's close to home. We've seen it go through many staff, but the current staff are definitely superior! The service has been good and the food has been amazing!!! I hope these employees stick around.“

“Great food, superb service! My fiance and I had a very important breakfast with our pastor yesterday and we were absolutely well taken care of by our server Ramsey. Her service was outstanding and she made our experience all the more better! ?“

“Went in for take out.From the start, my server seemed to have a bad attitude. She seemed agitated just by my ordering, as if I were wasting her time.My bill was well over $50.Because it was takeout, 20% was added.If she was at least slightly personable I would have been more than happy to add a tip.When I didn't add a tip, she decided to sling the order around, basically making a mess in the takeout containers. Skimping on condiments.The cook was outstanding. The food was delicious.“
