Restaurants in Lexington

“The best sushi I had in KY. Service and presentation were exquisite. A little gem in Lexington.”

“One of our favorite restaurants we have ever been to while home or traveling. The food is amazing, the place is exciting and the service is exceptional! One of the key staff members is Shelby. We always request her as our server. Shelby has excellent bourbon and food knowledge, provides first class service and makes every dinner fun and enjoyable. She is half the reason we go to OBC Kitchen. Shelby is simply amazing. Thank you Shelby!”

“Giuseppe's is one of the best Italian spots in Lexington! Their food, cocktails, and service are always fantastic! Perfect spot for a celebration or date night!”

“My current obsession! The selection of vegan momo is incredible and the staff is SO nice. What a fantastic addition to our neighborhood!”

“Amazing experience with top notch customer service. We were waited on by Clark and he went above and beyond to make our meal exceptional. 5++++ stars”

“I get vegan items from here and honestly no matter how many times I get the beans and rice, I don't grow tired of them! The vegan coleslaw is spicy and delicious and I love the bread.

The staff are so nice, the customers are all quietly vibing, and the music is fun. It is a nice place to take a break from work and get a slow lunch.

I have had takeout, dine-in, and we got catering from here a few years ago. Catering went over well!

Vegetarian options: Vegan options: Jackfruit sandwich, something with artichokes, beans and rice, Cole slaw, bread

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

Kid-friendliness: Cute place with stickers all over the walls and fun music.”

“Didn’t know what we wanted for dinner and this place popped up on door dash. The food was amazing. We are all stuffed with leftovers. We will definitely return! Great value. Amazing food. Fantastic flavor.”

“I tell you what. I have been coming here for years now. This is one of the best place in town for handcrafted sandwiches... but not only that the sides are out of this world. To be honest I find myself coming sometimes just to get a bowl or two of their beer cheese mac (on Fridays) and when ever I'm lucky enough for them to have their Buffalo chicken Mac! (the buff Mac I swear to god is the top 3 tastiest things I've ever put in my mouth)!!! I cannot recommend this place enough.. in fact stop reading this, put dad's favorites in your GPS and get to driving! because you will not regret it! Not to mention their staff is TOP notch and it’s clear that they enjoy their job and take pride in what they do. I am always blown away when I come here! p.s- I only wish they had Buffalo Mac on a regular week day like their beer cheese mac on Fridays because I would be there everytime!”

“Amazing atmosphere, outstandingly kind and helpful service, and the most delicious gumbo/New Orleans experience this area has to offer. They also have great deals and discounts if you contact them through Facebook Messenger. Will be returning for sure :)”

“My new favorite local restaurant! Highly recommend.”

“Always a great place to grab food! The atmosphere is great, music choice is superb, and of course the food is the star. Be careful ordering the extra hot or reaper… they’ll knock your socks off!”

“Stopped in for a healthy dinner option while working late…. So delicious and nutritious”

“Wowser! If you want an immediate sugar buzz, run don’t walk to this chic wee spot hidden amongst the concrete jungle of Hamburg. it looks like your standard strip mall ice cream parkour but it’s so much more. They offer ice creams, smoothies and a plethora of crepes and pancakes. The portions are huge so plan on sharing! The desserts are made to order so please understand that if there’s a crowd you have to wait your turn. I found the staff to be as sweet as their creations.”

“We absolutely love Viva Mexico! The BEST Mexican restaurant in Lexington, by far!! Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I came here for a date night and not only was the bartender the coolest dude ever, the food was phenomenal (we ordered the malice burger) and came out super quick. The drinks were absolutely delicious and presentation of the drinks was the best I've ever seen in a pub, the games were an amazing selection, the decor was out of this world, even the other patrons in this establishment were friendly. We met the owners and it was no surprise how laid back and friendly they were. Everything is 5 stars. We'll be back, especially with the great pricing for everything.”

“Such a lovely environment for a dinner date with my lady friends! The food was excellent! Farris, the manager stopped by and was so personable. Robey and Griffen took excellent care of us. We can’t wait to come back!”

“Nice place, clean, friendly and the drinks were great.”

“I’ve never had Peruvian food before and it was amazing!”

“Amazing food and great service”

“Delicious food friendly employees good service. We go there about twice a month so that can explain how good their food is.”

“If you ever walk in this place, you will have to wait and let me tell you it WILL BE WORTH IT! The owners are amazing, the food is BEYOND, and we love sitting at the bar and telling the sushi chef to just "make anything". He always comes up with something new and exciting. The selection of sake is unparalleled in our area. We cannot wait for the new one to open near Masterson, but we will always be loyal to the flagship location. You CANNOT go wrong with a meal from Osaka (which is why we eat there at least twice a week!)”

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

“Had lunch here for my very first trip. It was absolutely amazing. The Tofu Satay was fabulous. And the vegan brussel sprout dish was delicious. They Thai spiced it for me, wow! So good.”

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

“Agave & Rye is the best taco restaurant in Lex! They have the tastiest, most extravagant tacos! This is a great environment to try something new and have a few drinks with friends. Highly recommend ordering their Epic Queso Dip, the best queso dip in town!”

“The entire dining experience was fabulous from the service to the food! The ropa vieja was fantastic ❤️ I am so glad that I took the time to Google Cuban food in Lexington. The price point was great m, as well! Please do yourself a favor and try the hibiscus mojito!”

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

“As a restaurant manager for an elite restaurant, I must say that the appearance of this place gives you the idea open elite restaurant. However, boars, I am concerned. They tried to make it that way. Serving your food with high prices. Quality was okay at least this time when you go through the. Revolving doors. You'll know that it's not really an elite restaurant. Try it. Maybe you'll like it. We will go back To give it another chance. However, the waiter at the bar was excellent management. Never heard from them. And never really seen them go around to other tables. Of course, the place wasn't really that busy.I wish you well

Wheelchair accessibility: It has wheelchair availability”

“We had a terrific experience with not only the food but most importantly our waiter, Mohammed. He was exceptionally pleasant, courteous, mannerly, professional and very personable. Rick Schweitzer”

“Server was lovely, wish there were a couple higher end options for individual sushi selections. Back of restaurant is very dark and loud. Luckily there was room and we were seated up front by the windows upon request.”

“Jacked Nutrition offers convenient and delicious food that helps me stay on track with my diet with my busy schedule. I’ve only ordered the proteins so far (chicken, steak, salmon and ground turkey) and everything has been great!”

“Very good! Our waitress Tayler was fantastic. Was really fast and very nice!!”

“A stop here is an essential part of any American road trip.”

“My daughter is in a wheelchair. They came and held the door open for us. The place was very clean and the bathrooms were as well! (Big plus)the ladies made a great team with just the right amount of perk to make us all laugh and engage in conversation. Plus our server went and played music and the 1st song was a Taylor Swift song. My kiddo was pumped and really enjoyed her experience and so did I. Thanks ladies!”

“This place is awesomeness!! From the start of reserving a table, to entry into the building, to the drinks and service was just great. Ryan the owner served us. He explained the drink menu to us and detailed the process in how they make their drinks. I tried drinks I’ve never had before. The description of each drink is spot on the way it tastes. The drinks are stout. Definitely worth the time and money. Oh and the restroom were immaculate! Would ? be going back.”

“The Greatest Restaurant Chain of All Time.”

“can't wait to get one closer”

“I love it bc the people are nice”

“Kid-friendliness: Place was clean and food was good. The servers were all super friendly and good with our kids. It was a happy atmosphere here between everyone working.”

“No A/C so it was crazy hot. Food and service was excellent as always. This is the second Waffle House I've stopped at in a week with no A/C. Ot makes me wonder if this is a new corporate policy.”

“Outstanding service! The girl waiting on me never let my coffee cup get to less than halfway before filling it up again. The food was great, as is always the case with Waffle House. I will eat there again next time I'm in town.”

“Parking: Parking lot can be a little scary sometimes. We’ve seen several intoxicated or mentally ill individuals accosting customers on multiple occasions. We even witnessed a deranged pedestrian assault a worker through the drive thru window once. Always a roll of the dice with that area of town.”

“Last few times has been a little rocky and pushed away due to the computers rebooting or something and would wait up the road for 20 mins or so and go back and was told the same thing and I asked if it was still down because I was just here 20 mins ago. Magically it came back up. This last encounter was way better and food was on ”

“Its a mcdonalds what can you say other than that the person who designed the drive thru area had a bunch of tricky calls to make and so this normally backs traffic up to the street on sunday morning breakfast rush.”

“The peepel I had for waitresses was good. It didn't take but 5 minits after we come in n set down for the women to come and ask us what we was doin in here lookin like this. I said thank ye kindly we got dun up coz we was goin up to the seers store and we wuz gonna price momma a new maytag. Me and the o lady was thankin they had one.

“So this is definitely one of the best Gyro places in Lexington! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've been a regular for months and my Gyro platter never fails to impress!

“Best food I’ve had in Lexington so far!”

“Great experience!! Food was exceptional and environment was enjoyable!”

“Old School Coffee is a must-visit spot in Lex! The baristas are so fun and love to chat whenever you visit. This coffee shop is in a beautiful "old school" building that is fun to explore. All of their drinks are school-themed, and they always have a drink of the week that is a must-try! Definitely give this place a try!”

“Agave & Rye is the best taco restaurant in Lex! They have the tastiest, most extravagant tacos! This is a great environment to try something new and have a few drinks with friends. Highly recommend ordering their Epic Queso Dip, the best queso dip in town!”

“We absolutely loved our experience! The food was hot and fresh! It was absolutely delicious!! We have never had Rasing Cane's before (they are not local in our small town) so while on vacation we purposely set out to find one. The young lady at the drive thru taking our order was extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely find one again the next time we can.”

“Best meat and 3 in Kentucky!”

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

“Very friendly service. They have static flavors on the menu but also seasonal flavors. They will happily let you have small samples of the flavors before you order your dish. They have unique flavors and the ice cream is extremely creamy.”

“Parking: Parking available using medium sized parking lot next to service station. Orders placed from vehicle so the parking lot is always moving. I expect it is easy to get blocked in if you aren’t paying attention luckily staff and patrons are both helpful at navigating the busy lot.”

“We had our group there this evening. The Road To Restoration, Roughly 50 people from all over the US. The two Exceptional waitresses we had were an absolute God Sent. The whole staff that took care of us as for drinks and food delivery was great also. The food came out hot and fresh and very fast for as many people as we had!! Gotta give a HIGH 5 to the Kitchen Staff as well y’all did great!!! Just wanna give your restaurant a VERY VERY GOOD REVIEW, for the way you all treated us.

“My first time here, the food was absolutely delicious & the coffee was amazing. I loved the atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautiful art. Looking forward to my next visit!”

“The kitchen is cafeteria style (take a tray, order at the counter and pay at the register). The food was absolutely delicious, but would recommend ordering eggs with cheese, etc so they're cooked fresh and not from the container at the counter. The potatoes were amazing! And the pricing can't be beat ($1 per egg, $1 potatoes)”

“Clean lobby, Great food and service with a little foodie vibe. Would not consider this an eat in as there are no tables but there is bar height seating around the wall. The lone employee was attentive to my daughter and myself giving us great service with a smile. I would give it a 5 but it was muggy inside the building and tables were kind of sticky to the touch due to the humidity.”

“Delicious dinner with excellent service.”

“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!!”
