“Food was excellent. I will return.“

“I haven’t had food this good in a looooooooong time! This is the best New Orleans food I’ve had outside of NOLA. The prices are incredible, and the food has so much flavor! The staff is also very friendly and helpful. The staff even offered me some samples since it was my first time visiting. I ended up getting a mixed plate, and my favorite was the gumbo… get it you won’t be sorry. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!“

“First visit to their new location - quiet, funky and laid-back spot for delicious, eye-watering Cajun/Fusion; Tammy's Thai Peanut is definitely choice! ??? Also, I could go through a gallon of Stingin' Honey in little more than a month - it's addictive! ?

Vegetarian options: Tammy's Thai Peanut Etouffee w/ peppers, baby-corn, etc. is the featured veg entree (its great!), but there are a couple more.“

“We ate for the first time at the Andover location and had the best meal we’ve had in a long time. Service was excellent. We both had the chopped wedge salad, wagyu burger, broccoli topped with smoked Gouda sauce, macaroni with smoked Gouda, and shared a slice of peanut butter pie. Every bit of our meal was amazing! We can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu.“

“Ribeye steak is Top-Notch, Great Food. Never a bad day at Sahara.“

“Crank & Boom is a MUST for special occasions in our dairy free household. All of their flavors are delicious but they have absolutely outdone themselves with their dairy free caramel coconut delight! Incredible!! 🤤“

“Han Woo Ri Han Woo Ri is a gem for Korean cuisine! I recently dined here and was thoroughly impressed by the quality and authenticity of the food. Shrimp Tempura The shrimp tempura was perfectly crispy and light. The batter didn’t overwhelm the shrimp, letting the natural sweetness of the seafood shine through. Paired with the dipping sauce, it was a great start to the meal. Gyoza The gyoza were delightful—pan-fried to golden perfection with a tender, flavorful filling. The balance of textures, from the crispy exterior to the juicy interior, was spot on. Dol Sot Bibim Bap The highlight of the meal was the Dol Sot Bibim Bap. Served sizzling in a hot stone bowl, the rice formed a perfect crispy layer at the bottom. The mix of fresh vegetables, marinated beef, and a perfectly runny egg, made for a hearty and satisfying dish. The ambiance of Han Woo Ri complements the food well, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. The service was attentive without being overbearing, making the dining experience even better. If you’re looking for high-quality Korean food, Han Woo Ri is a must-visit!“

“We had Gumbo ya-ya cater our son’s graduation party and it was fabulous!! We had multiple cajun options from the restaurant for guests to choose from and at the end of the night people had gone back for 3rd and 4th servings!! We were so pleased, the owners were amazing and made sure our special event was enjoyed by all. No one walked away hungry and everyone complimented us on the food!! We will definitely use them again. Thank you so much!!“

“This is the best sushi place I have ever had, and my friend and I will only go to this restaurant for sushi! We come here often, and everything is always so fresh and delicious! The owner of Osaka is also very passionate about the food and cares a lot for his customers.

The selection here has a broad variety, and is affordable, and of high quality. For raw sushi choices, I highly recommend the oishi roll, truffle roll, and dragon fly roll! The sushi sandwich is also very good as well for people who enjoy smoked eel! The kalbi beef short ribs is my personal favorite, and I always get it along several dishes of sushi. By far, Osaka is my favorite restaurant ever!“

“absolutely delicious! so many options and wonderful service!“

“Had a great lunch. Our server, Travis, was excellent. He answered all our questions. The cappuccino was delicious. Great experience.“

“We just booked Backroads Bakery for our wedding in October, and we can’t wait to share this dessert with our guests! I love getting dessert from here for dinner parties and gatherings too! The owner was very easy to work with and kind, and the cheesecakes are to die for. Definitely recommend!“

“Waitress was AMAZING! Pumpkin pancake is the BEST ever!!“

“Great place for breakfast/ brunch.!!!! Lots of great choices!! Come to Mississippi please 😄“

“the staff is amazing-efficient-polite and ms. pat in the hat is delightful-my faavorite loitering area on third street on my way to and from the central library. cool bulletin board-free stuff box-delicious and inexpensive bagel with jalepeno cream cheese....less than 4 bucks....i could write a short story about how coo #thirdstreetstuff is“

“Stopped in with my partner last Monday afternoon- our first JM experience. In short, the food AND service were first-rate. The manager struck up a conversation without being pushy... rare AND much appreciated! We had cold subs this time- after the next visit(steak&cheese), I will review in more detail. 2 new happy customers!!“

“Ordered takeout and it was delicious! Large portions and perfect balance of textures and flavors. What a hidden gem.“

“The BEST Mexican food I’ve had since visiting Mexico. Truly authentic flavor and dishes. Plus the clean dining area and bar makes for a phenomenal experience!“

“Great brunch menu. Delicious food.“

“The pickup window makes a world of difference! With two young kids and often being just worn out from peopling all day, being able to have a home cooked meal that I didn’t cook without going into a restaurant is fantastic. We eat at least once a week from Ramsey’s in Masterson Station! Orders are always correct, well packaged, and fresh.“

“Joella’s is the best! My son has an anaphylactic dairy allergy and have had an extremely hard time over the years finding a safe place to dine-out with him. Joella’s is the place! He is able to eat and enjoy without worrying. Wonderful place and we highly recommend.“

“Food came out fast, the portions were huge and our server Emily was fantastic!“

“I had been wanting to visit DV8 for quite some time now, not only for my love of trying out new places, but because of the background of this place. Let me first say, I visited the Broadway location on 1/19/25 and cannot wait to come back. The environment was great including the decor and the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had the breakfast tacos and took home the chicken salad and it was amazing. I couldn't leave without snagging a couple cups, hoodie, and a sticker. Having a passion for those in recovery (I have 12.5 years myself) I couldn't wait to get myself in this place and now I can't wait to come back!!“

“Wonderful staff food was excellent.“

“I tried Stella's Kentucky Deli for the first time today. I got carry-out but once getting there would’ve probably opted to dine-in if I would’ve saw the place first. It was so quaint, cozy, and the perfect amount of quirky. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. I got the fried green tomato BLT (comes with chips), a side of cheese grits, and a slice of Kentucky pie. The sandwich was excellent with thick cut bacon and crispy fried green tomatoes and basil mayo, the cheese grits were thick and had a delicious savory flavor, and the Kentucky pie (pecan pie with bourbon and chocolate chips) was sweet and rich — just perfect. 10/10“

“First time here. My older sister took me for my birthday. Lord the atmosphere. I grew up around here and remember the original Wendy's Corner. A lot of the old memory is still in this building. Wonderful food. Quickly got through the line, seated and ate. Will go again.“

“Cole’s is a beautiful dining experience with educated staff and a lovely menu!“

“So good! Can't wait for the dining room to open back up, but can't beat 50% off carry out!“

“Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!“

“Great staff and even better food. Need I say more?“

“This was our first visit but won’t be our last! GREAT FOOD. WONDERFUL STAFF. Check this place out for yourself, trust me, you deserve it! Thank me later 👌🏼“

“Great food and amazing service. Would definitely recommend!“

“The Best Indian Restaurant In Lexington, KY
Best flavors and lots of unique dishes Not found at other Indian Restaurants. Do yourselves a favor and go here to eat sometime. If you've never been to an Indian Restaurant go during the buffet and sample small amounts to figure out what you like the best. I was there again last weekend and I will be going back today or tomorrow, it's That Good!“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“Fast, friendly service. Affordable food. Vegetarian options. Interesting eating environment“

“On a scale from 1 to David Hasselhoff, Tamara gets an 11.“

“We had to try the Kentucky Hot Brown, and this restaurant did not disappoint. We had a great visit with a local horse owner and a cold beer too.“

“I rated this place but failed to write a review. Very simply, Pho BC is amazing. It has become a favorite that I try to stop at whenever I'm in Lexington and recommend to friends and family at every opportunity. They opened in a bigger location that's awesome but still in the same area. Seriously, just go and enjoy amazing food and amazing people. Can't recommend highly enough.“

“I have eaten here around 100 times in the last seven years. I will always continue to eat here. Great food at great prices. Relaxing atmosphere and the service is ALWAYS excellent. Highly recommend !!“

“Truly an amazing place! We went to Freshie's for our daughter's birthday and they were fantastic. They even opened during a snow storm so we could go! Cutest little place and wonderful hospitality!“

“Don’t be fooled by an unassuming location - the service here is second only to the food. Pho dac biet was flavorful and aromatic, we were brought fresh chili oil that only amplified the flavor, and the sprouts, lime, jalapeño, and basil were so fresh that they felt like he cut them the second before he brought them out. Don’t skip this for anything - this has to be the best pho for 100 miles.“

“I took my daughters out to Parlor as a treat, we were first timers here. There is meter parking on the side of the building and a small strip of free parking in the back, parking was pretty good for the area.
The 4 of us each got a donut, and the 4 of us have different reviews.
Service was phenomenal, the staff was so friendly and patient.
As for the food, we got the vegan option of their donuts and they come gluten free which was nice because i needed mine to be both gluten free and vegan.
I personally wasnt a fan, but understand i am a plain jane kinda gal, and these are fancy gourmet donuts. It was great for what its supposed to be, but not for me preference wise.
My daughter however LOVED it. Shes more of a classy gal, she loves fancy places and macarons lol so this was right up her alley.
They are on the more expensive side, but what isn't these days? Also, again, i would consider these gourmet donuts. Think along the realm of crumble cookie in donut form with a more hipster vide to it.
Give them a try.“

“Hunter our waitress was awesome. Food was delicious.“

“The soup and sandwiches are wonderful! Can't wait to go back and try more things!“

“excellent food. one of the best pizzas we've had in Kentucky hands down. freshly made, super quick and always delicious. staff are amazing with kids and friendly and entire place is super clean and relaxed and comfortable. highly recommend“

“My daughter has celiac and finding good gluten free cake is often a struggle. Not only were the cupcakes super cute and delicious, ordering and receiving them was an incredibly easy experience! I cannot recommend the product and services highly enough!!“

“Best steak and salad I’ve had at any restaurant! Waiter was great too!“
