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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“delicious plenty of food friendly staff reasonable price“

“We had a private tour of both the brewery and distillery. Julia did an exceptional job sharing the rich history and current plans for the beer and spirits! The tastings were generous and we found some interesting products we hadn’t planned to purchase! A recommended stop for everyone!“

“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!!“

“WOW!!! Mother's Day evening was spent at the one and only Jeff Ruby's in Lexington. There are no words to describe just how incredible this restaurant truly is! From the minute you walk in and are personally greeted by GM Farris Huehls, to the fabulous staff that attends to every detail, it was a night to be remembered. Over and over again Jeff Ruby's exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend this restaurant! You will not regret it! Treat yourself and loved ones today to the one and only Jeff Ruby Experience.“

“Stopped in for a tour and tasting as part of a bachelor party. Definitely would recommend due to the friendly atmosphere and flexible accommodation. Their whiskeys are quite diverse in flavor profile. The rum finish rye was probably my favorite of the options we tried.“

“What one of our team members said: "We love Rolling Oven! Their pizza + sandwiches are so delicious. Their staff is so friendly. Can't recommend more!"“

“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!“

“great food, best fries ive had.. did get a fountain drink that had black chunks floating in it... lost appetite“

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

“Fun and very grand distillery. The bourbon samples were delicious and well presented by our tour guide Bill. Even the 131 proof raw moonshine had flavor ! Loved the “new” distillery and the history of Col Pepper who was Mr Kentucky Horseman and Distiller. A must stop on your Bourbon tour !!“

“Mackenzie was our server and she was the best. Very attentive and so so sweet. Definitely recommend!“

“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!!“

“Saturday night we had a 70th surprise birthday party for my mother. Mark (the owner),Jessica, Mike and the crew at Thoroughbreds were unbelievable. Everyone could not stop talking about how great the party was and how great the food tasted. Jessica took control and made sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. If there was an issue that needed to be solved or if I needed something she was always there to handle it. Mike provided incredible service behind the bar serving up great cocktails and making sure nobody left thirsty. Mark Smith the owner served up brisket sliders, potato skins, a beer cheese platter, and what party goers described to be one of the best mini hot browns they had ever put in their mouths. Words can't describe how grateful I am to call Mark and the crew down at thoroughbreds my friends. They truly are amazing people. If you have not experienced the hometown cozy atmosphere of Thoroughbreds I strongly recommend you stop by and say hi to everyone and enjoy a great meal or cocktail. Verified Customer Chad Faris“

“Harry’s Twin Filets (+ side) is hard to beat for the price ($27.99). Somehow the food seems to get better with each visit. Had the pleasure of being served by Caleb tonight, awesome UK student working his second straight year for BHG. Also worth noting: you can order from both the Harry’s & Malone’s menus while dining at Harry’s!“

“Delicious authentic German food.“

“It was an outstanding experience with a very good friend! The food was perfect and the atmosphere chill. I look forward to another visit.“

“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.“

“One team member says "El Charro is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Lexington! My family and I eat here weekly, and it never disappoints. The staff is incredibly kind, friendly, and always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome and taken care of. The food is consistently delicious with tons of menu options, great daily specials, and prices that are hard to beat. In the summer, their patio is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal outdoors. Whether you're a local or just passing through, El Charro is a must-try. We love it and know you will too!"“

“I love the friendly atmosphere at Bonefish in Lexington. The Management Bill is the most personable and welcoming manager. Our go to server is Pau. Paul is right on top of your menu options and has a memory that is uncanny.
The restrauant is always immaculate . The Hostess is always pleasant and tried to seat you where you request. The food is delicious and always meets our expectations.“

“We made a reservation on a friend's recommendation and the food was outstanding. Curry fritter, spicy pork and bigogi were stellar. The ginger tea is fresh pressed from the root and delightful. We will be back to this hidden gem. It's off the beaten track. Can't say enough good things about it.“

“Wonderful staff food was excellent.“

“I had an absolutely amazing time this evening! The atmosphere was the perfect blend of industrial and casual, creating such a cool and inviting vibe. The food was incredible—I had the pizza, which was delicious, and paired it with a #23 strawberry hard cider that was just perfect. Fred, the bartender, was fantastic—so personable and helpful in guiding my selections. His recommendations made the experience even better. I truly had such an enjoyable evening and can’t wait to come back!“

“Our favorite! Food is hot, fresh and perfectly seasoned. The staff is professional and friendly. Prices are in line with other similar restaurants, but they do not compete when it comes to friendliness, cleanliness, the quality and freshness of their food. Yes, I'm a regular customer!“

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