“The location makes this spot incredibly convenient for anyone working nearby. The staff are all business with new customers—not a lot of small talk or warmth—but I noticed that the regulars were greeted like family. Despite the lack of friendliness, the service was quick, and the Reuben sandwich was amazing, served up fast and hot. For a quick, satisfying bite close to work, it’s a solid choice, but don’t expect much in the way of personality unless you’re a regular“

“Most importantly, locally owned, with a great low-key vibe and personable staff. I took home the Render's Reuben made with beef brisket and the sauteed Brussels sprouts. Both were wonderful, and both were some of the best I've ever had (meaning best Reuben sandwich and best Brussels sprouts. The brisket was tender and generous. Will return with a friend for a sit-down meal soon.“

Rolling Red State BBQ Barbeque • $$
1045 Georgetown Rd Suite A3, Lexington

“This spot is great for a casual bite to eat. They have very good food and I will definitely be back. I took away one star because of the appearance. In fact the first night when we pulled in we actually ended up leaving because it just looks so run down and there is a dilapidated hotel or something in the back. But after reading more reviews we decided to give it a try the next night and were sorry we didn't come in the night before. The food and service are excellent! Don't be scared off by the appearance.“

“The brisket chili cheese fries are a good meal for 2 people. My suggestion for the person who does the brisket for the chili is that when you rub the meat, rub it in the seasoning for the chili. That way the meat and chili have the same taste.“

“Was at proud Mary's for mothers day and had an wonderful time. Food was amazing. Upstairs bathroom was super clean. Out side area was super clean staff was also amazing and super clean. I see comments about an bathroom being not so clean. Well here is what I have to say don't let your children stuff whole roles of butt paper in the John's and if u make a mess let some one know. And the place is very old and down stair is an over flow restroom u would be complaining if it was closed. Yes it has water in floor but also seen a boy and girl playing in sink and stall. Over 5 out of if I could give 6 stars I would.“
