“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!”

“This was my second time here. Their food is delicious. I took the server's recommendation and had the red fish. It was wonderful. We had the shrimp as an appetizer and it was the best shrimp I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

“One team member said: "The Obstinate Sons is by far one of my favorite restaurants! They have an incredible vintage whiskey selection and an incredible menu. Their deviled egg (and I don't say this lightly) was the best deviled egg I've ever had in my life. They also have very solid portions and an incredibly nice staff!"”

“A cute little shop, I would definitely be visiting this again. Prices are about what you would expect. Again, and maybe it’s just my experience, but everybody in this town was overly friendly and very helpful. This is during a busy time and that takes some doing, having done that’s kind of work before so I gotta give them credit for it.”

“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.”

“Great start with our waitress Kimberly. Kimberlee. She was absolutely the best. This was my first steak at Ted's. I would rate it as the best steak I have had in a longtime. Forget get the high priced steak houses in Lexington as this was far and away the most perfectly cook steak ever. Adding to the perfect meal were wonderful onion rings. They were as close to perfection as you can get. My compliments to the chef. we were too full to try the deserts but I am sure they would have been great. We will make Ted's a regular stop for a great meal.”

“Great restaurant and servers with excellent food. Tried the Ford’s Pickles, which were deep fried spears breaded in panko, and a special dipping sauce. To me the sauce has a horseradish style taste, but was really good. We also got the Fords Signature burger, medium well. It was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of BBQ sauce, the meat done right, crispy bacon, freshly toasted bun. Our server suggested the sweet potato tots with caramel sauce for our side. Was hesitant to try, but absolutely glad we did! Crispy tots with sweet, warm caramel. Dessert in itself! First time here and will definitely be back!”

“On July 5, 2025 we were visiting KY from OH searching for a great place to eat since the hotel kitchen closed at 11:00 p.m. When I tell you this is the perfect spot! Our server was Mathew and on a scale of 1-10 we give him 20 stars! If I had a business I’d definitely want him working there! He went above and beyond his job description! Thank you for finding a charger for me; I really appreciated that! Next time there’s going to be more in our group because we definitely spread the word! We hate we missed the band! Food, pricing and drinks excellent!”

“In town for a concert/anniversary celebration. We came for the regular menu, but then we learned what the breeders cup was. Next time I go to a nice place like this and they offer me a veggie pasta as an option, I’ll ask them to make me a butternut squash ravioli with black pearl mushrooms, crispy kale, and walnut gremolata. I want to hug whoever made that dish. Service was impeccable. Glad we chose this place.”

“First timing trying this place. Fill place, feels like a neighborhood spoke with some unique dishes on the menu. I got the Lumberjack burger. It came out raw, ordered it medium. They took it back I expected a new burger, the simply further cooked the burger. This time it was well done. Not a big deal flavor was still there, juicy and well seasoned. However, I think much of the Beer cheese had cooked off. We got the salad with orange vinaigrette and it was very good. The squash soup was also nice on a snowy day. Service was excellent and enjoyed the experience. The only negative was the burger cook and the not getting a new burger. Just kind of pointless to ask for how I’d like it cooked. Would eat here again though”

“I have eaten at Ramsey’s many times, most of my orders are to go during the winter months and spring and summer I eat inside. Sometimes there is a wait time for seating but it is worth waiting for. The food was great! The staff was great and the prices were acceptable. I didn’t wait too long for my food and it was delicious! It was enough to fill me up and then I had enough to take home. I tell people at work if you want great food, go to Ramsey’s! I recommend this restaurant! Thank you B.”

“Wow! If you love bourbon… if you love craft cocktails and craft beer… B&R is a MUST!!! We had a perfectly balanced sour, a spirit forward old fashioned (smoked peel!) and their Coffee & Smoke which is a fun twist on a Manhattan with their own smoky flair. We arrived too late for their full menu, but their bar bites definitely did not disappoint…. The wings!!!! We will be back every time we’re in Lexington!”

“My son and I had an impromptu late lunch today 7/7/2022. It’s been a long time since we’ve experienced service like this that was topped off with awesome food! The medium cooked burger with extra bacon was incredible, cooked to perfection, it was huge! The pulled pork sandwich topped with small onion rings was an unexpected tasty surprise. The French Fry’s were seasoned, served HOT and crisp just like the sandwich’s, I mean, where in Lexington do you get that?! The staff was exceptionally cordial and our food was presented before we had filled our fountain drinks. Out the door just stuffed full for $30, that’s value! My son and I had a quick debate on the way home, monthly or weekly stop 😂 Weekly for the win! Can’t wait to try breakfast!!”

The cashier was so friendly and helpful in choosing between menu options. Our food nearly beat us to the table and was very good. Lastly, I was impressed by how clean the place was; even the bathrooms smelled good and were spotless. We will definitely be back.”

“Me and my boyfriend were referred to Mama Dee's by family and I'm so blessed they did ! Mama Dee is so friendly and she cooks the best food! And best part about it is everything comes from a homemade recipe so it's original and delicious! When you walk in someone greets you as you walk into a really nice clean cafe. The food doesn't take long and like I said very good customer service! very laid back but exceptional.. makes you feel right at home! Needless to say I would recommend to everyone and I'm now addicted to this place and food ! lol 😆 especially the fried chicken salad! It's my favorite and my boyfriend lives their cheeseburgers! thanks for everything Mama Dee's and we will be seeing you on the regular! 😋😋”

She also recommended a special pineapple martini that they make and it was refreshing and so good like she said!! My husband got the hot honey chicken sandwich and he loved it. Along with the parmesan mashed potatoes. We also had the lobster spinach dip that had lobster in every bite. We have nothing but good things to say. We will be back!!”
