We hope to go back again in the future! Highly recommend!”

“My husband ordered the best she crab soup either of us has ever eaten. The caviar burst into flavor pops and the extensive crab was delightful. He ordered the kale salad which came beautifully presented, with a delicious, creamy pistachio dressing. There was a lot of kale; the chopped pistachios, sliced strawberries and whipped goat cheese tasted great, but were a bit overpowered by the kale. My ahi tuna bowl was fresh, a little spicy and delicious. I drank a wonderful old fashioned and my husband ordered a bourbon flight. Our server helped him select the fourth bourbon which was his favorite.”

“I REALLY enjoyed my morning stop here!Service was amazing (they even saved my life leaving my wallet, thank everything), the apple cider drink tasted amazing, and the donuts were cold but tasted really good!Will be back when I have the time! :)))”

“Was with a party of 10. Before I finished eating my meal I asked for my bill & a to-go cup. Everyone in my party had paid & left & I still hadn't gotten my receipt or to-go cup. It was almost 10 mins after everyone else had left before I got them. They were not that busy & had plenty of wait staff. Food came quickly.”
Options
“Great restaurant… first authentic Chinese food I’ve had since I moved from New York. If you’re vegetarian you can always ask them to change the meat to tofu.. had “beef” (tofu) with broccoli… friendly staff.”

“Love eppings! Always amazing food. They have my favorite lamb kabobs ever. Been going here for a couple years and have always had a great experience, but decided to write a review after tonight. My son has a dairy/soy allergy so I have been struggling to find options to eat at since he is nursing. The chef took the time to write on the menu what I could eat and came up with substitutions for sauces! It was incredibly kind and shows they go out of their way for customers.”
Options
“I love this place but it is expensive. Did not anticipate the charge for using a credit card. Assumed the fee is a cost of doing business. Food was excellent and the bartender made me a mocktail which was excellent”
Options
“This is the first time we were disappointed with our meal. My fish dish was extremely salty and my husband's steak was very undercooked, had a strange green sauce on it, it was served with French onion soup )for dipping according to the waiter) and a potato side that I could barely swallow. On a good note, the salads were amazing, the crab cake and goat cheese appetizer is incredible and the rolls will make you melt. Hoping our next visit will be better. Just seems as if someone in the kitchen got a little too creative. Lastly, our wait staff and support wait staff were incredibly welcoming.”
Options
“I got the poke bowl it was pretty good. I have no complaints about the food.The bathroom floor was DANGEROUSLY slippery! I would be very worried about an older person attempting to use their bathroom. Everyone who walked in slipped and nearly fell it was as if they had put oil on the floors.We had a bigger party visiting for an engagement dinner that was reserved ahead of time. They initially put us at separate tables even though they could have easily set up the tables together before we got there. After a few awkward glances and shifting the wait staff did get us all together but it was a bit annoying to have to ask when we had made a reservation to begin with.”
Options
“Love this restaurant! My steak was a bit too salty for my taste, but service was top tier! Our waiter was in training, but did fabulous! Thank you, Malone's!”
Options
“I tried chicken lasagna and I could tell that it could have been slightly softer. The layers were very well packaged and the sauce was very tasty. The bread and the dip was utterly delicious. The server could have been patient.Parking: Free parking lot in front of the store”
Options
“El Patio is THE BEST Mexican restaurant in Lexington! The food is always excellent, the service is PHENOMENAL, the patio is huge and very comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant.”
Options
“Browsing Reddit, most locals call this the best sushi in Lexington so I wanted to give it a try. This was my second time, phenomenal experience. For fun (because the service is THE BEST) we counted how long it took for them to take dirty plates and refill drinks, it was always less than a minute. Don't let the front fool you (strip mall type) it is some of the best sushi/Japanese I've ever had. I took a small pic for snap below, but figured I'd include it.”
Options
“Food great as usual! My husband had the chef's special salmon, with shrimp, scallops and mussels in a garlic butter sauce over cappellini pasta. He said it was the best meal he's had there yet! Our server John provided friendly, attentive service and we'll request him next time. Frank & Dino's never disappoints.”
Options
“This little gem is hidden in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The food is absolutely FANTASTIC! The service is superb. The Margaritas are very good.”
Options
“Had the mozzarella chicken dish with chipotle mashed potatoes & asparagus which was delicious. Also had salmon with garlic mashed potatoes & asparagus which was also very good. The restaurant gave me a complimentary butter bar dessert for my birthday which was tasty. Will definitely come back.”
Options
“We love this place for our higher maintenance sushi rolls! They have VEGAN CREAM CHEESE!!! It's been 10 years since I was able to have a Philadelphia Roll and believe me, we ate a lot of them when we came here because of this. I have a Dairy allergy, Egg allergy, and Gluten allergy and this place was able to cater to my dietary needs with some great options. They do have a gluten free menu and plenty of vegan options as well. Their ponzu sauce is made in house so its also GF. And the house salad with ginger dressing can be ordered GF too. There's plenty more options that I didn't have while there, so will be back again. And they have GF soy sauce too, if you're wondering. If you're like me, get the Philadelphia Roll with smoked salmon and substitute vegan cream cheese. You won't regret it!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, Vegan”
Options
“Love the patio and a great quick and casual lunch spot. I've had the chicken cesar salad a few times and a burger once. Each time the food is fresh and good. If you're looking for somewhere nice and everyone will have something they like this is the place to go.”
Options
“This was a recommendation by my niece. I took my daughters there to celebrate one of their birthdays. Everything we have tried is wonderful! If you love Brussel Sprouts you will love these!”
Options
“The food was extremely fresh and had a variety of options for people with different diets (like vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free). They also have some really unique options as well. Service was quick and everyone was friendly!”

“I absolutely cannot say enough great things about this amazing small business. I have looked long and hard for a business that provides fresh nutrition in a meal prep. They have delivery and meal prep. I have loved every meal this far. You can’t beat these unbelievable people that makes every meal completely amazing. 100% 5 stars !”
Options
“There's not a lot to really say. Waffle house is Waffle house. Either you like it or you don't. The food is always good and fresh. Best hashbrowns for a late night snack or for the next morning breakfast. Items are cooked to order, the staff is friendly, and the jukebox is always ready for some tunes. This is a guilty pleasure that nobody wants to admit.”
Options
“The service is great in person! I love this place but they no longer answer phone for to go orders? Has any of the managers thought about how much money this causes them to loose out on? I know at times they are busy but I’m sure the system can be configured to accommodate todays demand for to go food.”
Options
“Thanks to the grill master “Rock Star” on Plaudit Place Waffle. What a great breakfast experience. Grill master “Lexi” was fantastic! If he is working the grill. Sit at the bar. We had great food and he created great atmosphere with his staff. He changed my opinion. Of Waffle House from a negative to a high positive! Keep Lexi happy. He is making a difference for your company! In a world where customer service is below standard in many places. This place is a class act above others.”
Options
“I have fallen madly in love with Waffle house! I guess it’s a southern thing? They have grits! They have typical breakfast things… and they have WAFFLES! The coolest thing about waffles when you’re on a road trip is that you can take them to go and eat them for a couple of days, without refrigeration they’re just fine! A little bit of breakfast every morning and you don’t have to drive Hangry ?The servers are consistently some of the nicest people I met on the whole road trip. And you never have to wonder about the decor or the interior because they’re all the same— unassuming, blue-collar, just the basics. They have good food, and great people.”
Options
“It's waffle house the food is always solid but I really love the staff here they take great care of their customers and if you come in late you might get a "show", it might not be the show you want but it'll be good regardless ”
Options
“Another fabulous Waffle House. You can be sure of good food, great people, and the same decor as the last one you were in. ? Pecan waffles are my new best friend. Well those and whoever’s serving them to me. Such lovely, welcoming people. No matter what time you go there, and no matter which Waffle House you go to.”
Options
“This was a perfect Waffle House experience. It was 5:00 am and the place was lit up and clean. We barely waited for our food, and the staff was friendly, quick, and super nice. The food was delicious and I almost exploded from the amount of hash browns they gave me. Love this waffle house!!”
Options
“Great staff and service. Food is what I expected to get - it's why I went there. Like everywhere else, prices are creeping up but it's still a good value.”
Options
“We made a late night White Castle trip while in the area. We do not have a White Castle anywhere near where we live, so it’s always a must have when we travel. The staff at this location were so extremely nice and friendly. Our food was made hot and fresh. It was a great experience.”
Options
“Traveling to Kentucky from Washington, and we always love when we can stop by an actual White Castle! The burgers were fresh, hot and tasty. Customer service was great and they got us through the line very quickly! We got the 10 pack for $8.99 and should have gotten 20! Lol! Thanks White Castle! See ya when we return!”
Options
“I went at 6am and was the only person in the restaurant. It was clean and the waitress came and greeted me right away. She was very kind and got my order out right way. The pancakes were a little overcooked, but the omelette was perfect. I enjoyed the atmosphere and was able to eat in peace. Would def go back.”
Options
“Everything was perfect! The lady that took my order was very courteous and pleasant and friendly. The tea and biscuit was just as expected and the store was very clean! The value of my breakfast at $3 was also good. Will definitely visit this location again!”
Options
“Just stopped for a couple of shakes around late morning. I was shocked at the si@e for the price! They were much larger than I expected, complete with cherry on top! Great attitude with the service and employee as well”
Options
“Went through drive through. They were only taking cash and tallying order plus tax by hand. Order was wrong and most of the food was nearly room temperature. They tried considering but in sum they failed.”
Options
Takeout Restaurants
“Ordered the bourbon ball sundae. It was excellent. My family all enjoyed their ice cream as well. My son said the waffle cone was delicious. It's definitely worth the visit.”
Options
“This restaurant is the definition of a hidden gem. It's in the back corner of a small strip mall, yet is one of the best (if not the best) lunch restaurants in Lexington. I would highly recommend going on Tuesday, to get the tacos.”
Options
“So good!!! We stopped in for breakfast and I'm so glad we did! This restaurant has that quick, casual feel with an elevated menu. I ordered the southern eggs Benedict and it was delicious; so much flavor. Our food came out quickly, and I thought presentation was great. I wish I lived closer because there were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try.”
Options
“This particular Five Guys has the best consistent hamburger. It’s not dripping with grease and it’s not dry. The fries are consistently crispy and hot. Service is very good and patient with my older parents. Very pleased!”
Options
“Exactly what you would expect from a Culvers....cant say the new drive through design is an improvement, 1 car to 2 car to 1 car and none of the staff seem to handle directing well (or people dont listen, they were trying at least).”
Options
“super friendly and helpful staff! Got a lot of recommendations for things to do in the area as well. They didn't have too many options for non coffee and cold drinks at that moment but I ended up getting an italian soda which was delicious.”
Options
“The food and ambiance is very good. Very fresh selections. The only disappointment we had on our last visit was about the real, grated wasabi. The cost for it is $5, and in the past, we've felt like it was totally worth the expense. However on our most recent visit, we received about 1/4 of the amount than what we've gotten before. When we asked about the change, the server said, "Different chefs do things differently." She kind of begrudgingly then said she'd get us more, which was also about the same amount, so now about 1/2 as much as we were accustomed to and we were made to feel somewhat apologetic about even asking. It seems like a small thing, but these days, every penny counts and $5 worth of real, grated wasabi should not be served in pea-sized amounts.”
Options
“Wow! The food was amazing! Love the atmosphere and service as well. Wish they had one where I live. Some of the best pancakes and eggs Benedict I've ever had!”
Options
“Wow, we could have been eating in New Orleans! I had the red beans and rice and gumbo and my wife had the jambalaya and the étouffée and everything was delicious! The prices are very reasonable and we honestly could have shared a full plate of food. The service was also really great, we were offered samples of what we wanted to order before we committed, I was very impressed by that ability! We loved the atmosphere, nothing fancy, but it felt like a dive and in our opinion they usually do have the best food! We'll be back the next time we are in Lexington.”
Options
“This place has good service and is brimming with character. Huevos rancheros were excellent! Pancakes were solid. Would recommend coming early as there is limiting seating.”
Options
“Super fun non-profit coffee shop. Chai had a lot of nutmeg we think it was? So just be aware of that. But my mocha was very good! Staff is super friendly and just a cool place to hang out for a bit.”
Options
“Riley, Jeff, and Lexie went above and beyond to send not only delicious cake but love to my family in Lexington. ❤️ Outstanding service. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Options
“Being from TEXAS I didn't expect to find good BBQ in Kentucky. I ordered Brisket "moist" and Ribs, Collard Greens and Potato Salad. Brisket was Top Tier Texas Quality, absolutely flawless. Ribs were different than I'm used to but still good. Greens were very tasty and so was the tator salad. Didn't try the sauces until I was almost done eating. They were good, but the meat didn't need any. Very Good BBQ.”
Options
“My favorite place to get Mediterranean food. I love the chicken shawarma with rice and hummus. Their falafel is also very good. Person at register is always very friendly and helpful on what something is.The only downside to this place is there's not enough seating, their popular and the dining area is often full during lunch and dinner. Even my downside is a positive because their food is so good they have to many customers.They close at 6 on weekdays so go early, and in the summer they close for a couple months to visit family. Signs are posted so you will know.Parking: Parking is in a shopping center so parking is shared with other businesses and space is limited”
Options
“These are the BEST tacos I’ve ever had in my life. 4 years later and I still think about them. Customer service was amazing. Definitely will be my first stop when I take a trip back to Lex!”
Options
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“The most amazing local coffee shop! Nicest people, the largest menu of homemade flavors for lattes, matcha lattes, etc! The iced cheesecake matcha (seasonal flavor) with strawberry cold foam is what dreams are made of. Also the tiramisu (also seasonal- please make it permanent!!!) is the G.O.A.T. Starbucks has nothing on this place. Not to mention they source their food items from other local shops (the best scones from Futile Bakery, croissants from la petite delicat, and more!) PLUS they have a DRIVE THRU, people! They are the heroes of tired moms of three kids who do not wish to unbuckle and rebuckle three car seats everywhere! Can’t say enough good things. Just go already!”
Options
“Bad Wolf has moved to a new location, and there are a few things which aren't as good, so I have knocked off a star. The main one being that they have replaced their awesome fries with generic crinkle cut fries. The new location isn't as nice, and lacks all of the distinctive Bad Wolf character. And, finally - a very minor item - they have swapped out the cool custom to-go boxes with plain Styrofoam boxes.The burgers and service are still really good, though.”
Options
“Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream is one of the best, highest quality deserts that I've enjoyed in my lifetime.To truly enjoy the flavors and textures, I highly recommend getting it in a cup instead of a cone. If you decide on a handheld, go with a simple sugar cone so that it competes as little as possible with the treat.Highly recommended!”
Options
“I did not eat at Gold Star, which might be a fine place. I ate at Waffle House, just across the parking lot they share. Folks, I love Waffle House for a late breakfast, early lunch, which this was. Service was a bit slow this day and the waitress told me that they took longer to assure 'perfection' with the food. She was very cute, but honestly, it was the best meal I've had in a long time...anywhere. Try this Waffle House!”
Options
“So recently, I had an opportunity to check out the Human Bean at their new location on Richmond Road. The staff was fantastic at that location and advised me that the original local coffee shop was on Harrodsburg Road. So this week, when I was in the area, I decided to stop in at the Harrodsburg Road store. It is located across the road from the cycle shop and not too far from Lane Allen Road intersection. I have driven past the store for years. Lots of traffic in the area and so easy just to pass them by. I am glad I was advised to stop in this store. I ordered my standard light roast with heavy whipping cream DELICIOUS!!!The staff at the Harrodsburg Road establishment is just as friendly as the Richmond Road location. Kudos to management in hiring great staff and providing quality product. I will be back.”
Options
“The 5 stars is an understatement! We were in town for family in the hospital and wanted to say how great everything was! Our server and the food were great!! We would recommend this great place to anyone. If we get back in town we will surely eat here again!! Thanks for making a hard time better for us.”
Options
“Every time I have had food from here it has been wonderful. I’m picky about a lot of things and I can honestly say the classic loaded fries are maybe my all time favorite. Highly recommend!”
Options
“Yesterday was my first time in there and I wish I would of knew about this place sooner! The Mac and cheese was fire? sweet potatoes ?… and you could taste the nutmeg…which is what I like..cornbread ? catfish was good… shrimp was good…. I will have to try the other sides again ”
Options
“I can't believe I have never gone here before. The food was awesome, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the location was great. Perfect spot for lunch downtown.”
Options
“Loved visiting this Baskin Robbins! The service is usually fast, there's a whole new line of flavors at this location. Prices are right. The store is usually clean.”
Options
“Good little spot for a quick latte. The flavors arnt super powerful, more subtle, but still good. It's a very reliable place for when other places are closed and you just want a coffee!”
Options
“We went to get ice cream at the Graeter's location in Hamburg. It is back off a road after you turn off Man O War. You would have to know you wanted ice cream and look up the address because it is not a location you might pass by chance. My husband had Mocha chocolate chip and my son had cookies and cream. A single scoop was a little over $5. We enjoyed our ice cream and the shop was clean and comfortable. Mine was bourbon chip and was really good.”
Options
“I am a vegetarian and I will say that their crispy tofu was on point!! It's hard to make tofu crispy and yummy and they nailed it! Salad was so fresh ? I would drive out there just for their crispy tofu salad anyway! The house made roasted tomato dressing is just so so good, you can't buy dressing that good at the store.Vegetarian options: Not your average house salad, so fresh and large.Grain salad bowl, same!”
Options
“i was the billionth customer and they gave me a free salad!! absolutely recommend 5 stars ❤️. sometimes i go here with my family and they always have a great time.”
Options
“This place is super good.!! I got the rice bowl and it's alot but really good enough for 2 people and the sushi is great to also the sodas with the marble in it really good!! Next time I'm going to get a rice bowl share it and get a sushi and marble soda ? ?”

“The service is terrific, and the presentation is spot on. Additionally I would like to say that the cupcakes from here are the best I have had in a long time. They remind me of my childhood with all the neat designs.”

“Stopped by here recently with my family for a new experience, and we were all very pleased with the food, atmosphere and the staff!I had the Hawaiian Fries, and the Big Kahuna Burger, and it was simply delicious! Burger was cooked well, and everything was exactly as I expected!If you're looking to try something new, with quality food and a nice atmosphere, I recommend this place fully!”
Options
“Katy and I love this place. If we miss a week not going to get sandwiches, soups and coffee it means we are out of town. Ellie and Tim are wonderful people and deserve to have a thriving business. The food is excellent and Tim comes up with new sandwich specials all the time. When it's cooler outside he will have some great soups. Check out his shrimp & corn chowder soup, potato bacon soup, butternut squash soup, broccoli cheese soup and his chili when he has time to make it. Plus the artwork is very interesting and a lot of one of a kinds. Thank you Ellie and Tim!!”
Options
“We were visiting from out-of-state and wanted to try some southern cooking. We loved the fish, ribs, pulled pork, and pork chops! The sides were great, too. The food reminded me of when I lived in Savanah! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We are coming back when we come back to town!”
Options
“Not a fancy place but the food was delicious with ample portion sizes. Sandwich size was impressive. They are not sold as 'combos' but I would recommend sharing an order of fries with1 or 2 others. Our order satisfied the three of us. Fried plantains were a tasty starter. Would definitely go back when in area. Friendly and welcoming staff here.”

“This place is fantastic and the owner is so nice and explains the food and how he makes the coffee and teas He loves what he does My daughter ordered Turkish coffee and sage tea which I liked He heats the drinks in hot sand It's amazing to watch it starts boiling right in front of you It's quite a treat to watch We ordered the pistachio baklava which is dessert from Heaven This place is a gem”
Options
“My husband and I both had the Dol Sot Bibim Bab, which really hit the spot. The miso soup is tasty, and the kim chi was good. There was maybe an ounce of beef in there, so be prepared for that.The only real issue we had was that the vegetarian options for the kiddo were not great. She wanted the Pa Jun, the vegetable pancake. The batter typically has seafood in it, but they said they had a vegetarian option. Well, the vegetarian option was basically an overpriced hash brown. There was no batter. It was literally shredded potatoes with some carrots and onion chunks. It wasn't necessarily that it tasted bad or anything; it was just a $13 order of hash browns that wasn't as good as what I could get at the Waffle House for $6 or whatever. So yeah, ask a LOT of clarifying questions for the "vegetarian option."”

“Third Street Stuff offers great coffee and a great place to hangout. The wifi is fast which allows you to get work done.. I would definitely recommend visiting them while in Lexington.”
Options
“My go-to coffee shop in Lexington. The cafe breve here is one of my favorites in town. Plus they have a charming little gift shop. My only complaints are that the seating is often pretty limited (there just aren't enough tables for how popular of a spot they are) and second, my main complaint, is that there is always one or two fruit flies hovering around me and my drink. Every time.”

“My husband ordered the best she crab soup either of us has ever eaten. The caviar burst into flavor pops and the extensive crab was delightful. He ordered the kale salad which came beautifully presented, with a delicious, creamy pistachio dressing. There was a lot of kale; the chopped pistachios, sliced strawberries and whipped goat cheese tasted great, but were a bit overpowered by the kale. My ahi tuna bowl was fresh, a little spicy and delicious. I drank a wonderful old fashioned and my husband ordered a bourbon flight. Our server helped him select the fourth bourbon which was his favorite.”

“Was with a party of 10. Before I finished eating my meal I asked for my bill & a to-go cup. Everyone in my party had paid & left & I still hadn't gotten my receipt or to-go cup. It was almost 10 mins after everyone else had left before I got them. They were not that busy & had plenty of wait staff. Food came quickly.”

“Great restaurant… first authentic Chinese food I’ve had since I moved from New York. If you’re vegetarian you can always ask them to change the meat to tofu.. had “beef” (tofu) with broccoli… friendly staff.”
Options
“Our excellent server, Chance, was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. He let us take our time to decide and helped with suggestions which we appreciated. He guided us to excellent meals which we enjoyed sharing with friends.”
Options
“Hannah, our server, was terrific and responsive to our requests. Our food was delicious and prepared as requested. The drinks were perfect. New management is keeping up the tradition of the best restaurant in town.”
Options
“This particular Five Guys has the best consistent hamburger. It’s not dripping with grease and it’s not dry. The fries are consistently crispy and hot. Service is very good and patient with my older parents. Very pleased!”
Options
“I love this place but it is expensive. Did not anticipate the charge for using a credit card. Assumed the fee is a cost of doing business. Food was excellent and the bartender made me a mocktail which was excellent”

“This is the first time we were disappointed with our meal. My fish dish was extremely salty and my husband's steak was very undercooked, had a strange green sauce on it, it was served with French onion soup )for dipping according to the waiter) and a potato side that I could barely swallow. On a good note, the salads were amazing, the crab cake and goat cheese appetizer is incredible and the rolls will make you melt. Hoping our next visit will be better. Just seems as if someone in the kitchen got a little too creative. Lastly, our wait staff and support wait staff were incredibly welcoming.”
Options
“The food and ambiance is very good. Very fresh selections. The only disappointment we had on our last visit was about the real, grated wasabi. The cost for it is $5, and in the past, we've felt like it was totally worth the expense. However on our most recent visit, we received about 1/4 of the amount than what we've gotten before. When we asked about the change, the server said, "Different chefs do things differently." She kind of begrudgingly then said she'd get us more, which was also about the same amount, so now about 1/2 as much as we were accustomed to and we were made to feel somewhat apologetic about even asking. It seems like a small thing, but these days, every penny counts and $5 worth of real, grated wasabi should not be served in pea-sized amounts.”

“Wow! The food was amazing! Love the atmosphere and service as well. Wish they had one where I live. Some of the best pancakes and eggs Benedict I've ever had!”

“I got the poke bowl it was pretty good. I have no complaints about the food.The bathroom floor was DANGEROUSLY slippery! I would be very worried about an older person attempting to use their bathroom. Everyone who walked in slipped and nearly fell it was as if they had put oil on the floors.We had a bigger party visiting for an engagement dinner that was reserved ahead of time. They initially put us at separate tables even though they could have easily set up the tables together before we got there. After a few awkward glances and shifting the wait staff did get us all together but it was a bit annoying to have to ask when we had made a reservation to begin with.”

“Love this restaurant! My steak was a bit too salty for my taste, but service was top tier! Our waiter was in training, but did fabulous! Thank you, Malone's!”
Options
“This place has good service and is brimming with character. Huevos rancheros were excellent! Pancakes were solid. Would recommend coming early as there is limiting seating.”

“Being from TEXAS I didn't expect to find good BBQ in Kentucky. I ordered Brisket "moist" and Ribs, Collard Greens and Potato Salad. Brisket was Top Tier Texas Quality, absolutely flawless. Ribs were different than I'm used to but still good. Greens were very tasty and so was the tator salad. Didn't try the sauces until I was almost done eating. They were good, but the meat didn't need any. Very Good BBQ.”
Options
“I tried chicken lasagna and I could tell that it could have been slightly softer. The layers were very well packaged and the sauce was very tasty. The bread and the dip was utterly delicious. The server could have been patient.Parking: Free parking lot in front of the store”
Options
“Great authentic food! The owners were so kind and food was ready in 20 minutes. Would definitely recommend to anyone that appreciates real food! We got take out, so I can't comment on the ambiance.”

“Browsing Reddit, most locals call this the best sushi in Lexington so I wanted to give it a try. This was my second time, phenomenal experience. For fun (because the service is THE BEST) we counted how long it took for them to take dirty plates and refill drinks, it was always less than a minute. Don't let the front fool you (strip mall type) it is some of the best sushi/Japanese I've ever had. I took a small pic for snap below, but figured I'd include it.”
Options
“Food great as usual! My husband had the chef's special salmon, with shrimp, scallops and mussels in a garlic butter sauce over cappellini pasta. He said it was the best meal he's had there yet! Our server John provided friendly, attentive service and we'll request him next time. Frank & Dino's never disappoints.”
Options
“Absolutely amazing. I wish I had taken pics but I ordered to go and started eating in the car.I had the sausage sandwich with peppers and onions and it was perfection.I don’t even know that I would have ever eaten a sausage roll or whatever it’s called when I ate meat decades ago, but for whatever reason I wanted theirs. The fries were also excellent.Highly rate this vegan restaurant, they are 100% vegan, I’m going back tonight, my last night in Lexington.”

“This little gem is hidden in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The food is absolutely FANTASTIC! The service is superb. The Margaritas are very good.”
Options
“The woman that was in charge of my table was so amazing, she was super friendly, always made sure that our cups were full and let us have as much time as we needed to figure out our order. She also joked around with us and made us feel very welcome. The food was also wonderful! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone :)”
